However, the only reason I can see for using it over Fedora Silverblue is that Origami ships with a well-configured, ready-to-use COSMIC Desktop out of the box, rather than GNOME.

The author doesn't seem to be aware of Fedora COSMIC Atomic. That seems like a better reference point.

I thought he was a US Senator representing New York State. Is New York so expensive he needed a second job?

However, Epic Game Store only actually exists on Windows, and it’s on iOS in the EU.

Your information seems to be outdated. On the EGS download page I get an "Install on Windows" link with text below it "Also available on Mac OS, Android, iPhone (EU only) and iPad (EU only)."

$24.95/yr seems high. Are you looking at a specialty TLD? I paid around 10 USD/yr for a .com with Cloudflare, and 12 CAD/yr for a .ca with Canspace.

Perhaps it should have been wide adoption that led to a boom, instead of a boom in hope of adoption?

Trump has invited the leaders of 60 nations to join the Board of Peace with the stipulation that each contribute $1 billion dollars.

It's not "Join the Board of Peace or get tariffs", it's "Give me a billion dollars or get tariffs"

Also wholly unhinged. The hinges are just gone.

Nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize need to be submitted by January 31, and peace-related accomplishments after that probably aren't factored into the decision-making process. So most of what Trump has done since he got back in office didn't even count for last year's award, and his new threats will count for this year's. If he understood how the award actually worked he might realize how badly he's messed up.

They started filming the season 2 finale this week. I think if she wasn't going to be in season 2 we'd have heard something by now.

The away team braclets are programmed for at least a couple of different modes, and switching is pretty quick. I would think if they could use programmable matter to make a multi-mode tricoder, it would be standard.

At any rate, I assume they can't program matter into dilithium, because that would have made recovering from the Burn a whole lot easier.

 

While mired in controversy from all sides, the Walt Disney Company has unveiled price hikes for Disney+ and its other streaming services today.

As of October 21, Disney+ will cost up to 20 percent more, depending on the plan you have. Disney+ with ads is increasing from $10 to $12 per month, while the ad-free plan is going from $16 to $19 per month. The annual, ad-free plan will go from $160 to $190.

 

There was a time when sneering at international law would not have been a good look for someone aspiring to be Prime Minister of Canada.

But, charting new territory, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre contemptuously called Justin Trudeau “woke” for indicating Canada would abide by a ruling of the International Criminal Court (ICC) — a court that Canada helped establish to punish war criminals.

Poilievre specifically rejects the legitimacy of the ICC charges against Netanyahu, on the specious grounds that Netanyahu was democratically elected.
