"Since April, the Pentagon has stopped all military reviews of proposed wind farms, which are meant to ensure that turbines don’t interfere with local radar or flight paths. Virtually every new wind project in the country needs to undergo these reviews, which until recently were considered routine and often completed within months."

Second paragraph.

Yeah, Bazzite being immutable is one of the reasons I've held off for so long. Its extra hoops are a learning curve, and I would argue the benefits of immutable are worth it, there's just a time factor involved regarding learning. Hopefully as things develop, guides and workflows will simplify everything, and drag people over.

I'm on Linux and I don't have your HD2 issue at all.

My guess is you have a setting that's somehilow donking things up.

And quite honestly those kinds of problems are something that exists on Windows too.

I switched several years back (first to Mint then Nobara, and I'll probably be migrating to Bazzite or CachyOS down the road) and I haven't looked back, it's a bummer you're having a bad experience but it won't apply to everyone.

I mean it's close to 30/70 on avg for most things, while he's sunk under 30 on areas that matter a lot to him being able to rubber stamp his name on things and it mean something.

But I guess we could round up the one that says 36 and pretend the rest don't exist.

It's not the same as it's always been, his base is actually flipping on him now too.

The family of Jaahnavi Kandula, a 23-year-old Indian student killed in a U.S. police crash a few years ago, suffered a second devastating blow after her father passed away just two days before the announcement of a $29 million compensation deal.

Jaahnavi’s life was cut short on January 23, 2023, when she was knocked down by a speeding Seattle police vehicle while she was crossing the street. The officer involved was responding to an emergency call at that time.

A relative of Jaahnavi told PTI that Kandula Srikanth, a retired police constable, died of a heart attack on February 10 here in Kurnool district. Seattle police officer who fatally struck Jaahnavi Kandula fired from department.

“His (Srikanth’s) last rites were performed on Wednesday (February 11, 2026) in Adoni, as the family grappled with yet another devastating loss,” said the relative on Friday (February 13).

Video shows U.S. policeman laughing over death of Indian student killed by patrol car.

He further said the family is currently mourning, and it was not appropriate to speak about the settlement money.

Jaahnavi was a Master’s student in Information Systems at the Seattle campus of Northeastern University.

Appropriately attributing blame to those who perpetuate it. It is possible that 4chan was a useful tool, but 4chan itself is hardly invested it keeping everyone divided to pull people away from actual issues.

They also pale in comparison to the influence political leaders, mass media, and billionaires have.

And? 4chan was a shithole. I don't know why I'd be defensive over it.

I just thinking blaming edgelord neckbeards with terminal online syndrome for the current political landscape is a cop-out and naive at BEST.

If that's a defensive position to take of 4chan your bar is extremely low.

I believe this post, like many others are correlating the creation of the /pol/ board on 4chan after moot had a conversation with Epstein or something.

Acting like /pol/ and 4chan is solely responsible for the entire situation is just a vapid braindead take, much less the idea that a political board on a popular forum hangout is some meniacal master plan...

Obviously all this Epstein shit is heinous af, but acting like he's the origin of all evil just fucking hilarious "this is your brain on religion" logic. That being said, Epstein would definitely make a good "Satan's avatar" in a story...

Does Valve employ people at minimum wage? I've only heard good things about how much Valve employees make.

You know what was the original point right? About how Amazon makes its money off the backs of others being unfairly paid low wages.

And for arguments sake.... I agree billionaires shouldn't exist, and that any successful enterprise in a capitalist system is built on the exploitation of unfair wage distribution somewhere down the line (Steams could be it's hard 30% fee); but I don't think either of those were the implied point of the original post.

They are not the one that look less educated in the chain if you read through it.

They originally made a argument for UBI, and you went on a diatribe about how that wouldn't work because taxing automation disables innovation.

Which... has numerous holes in and of itself, but again isn't related to the original point.

And then when they said it would be fine to both tax the rich, and UBI, essentially giving way to your nonsensical point and trying to come out with a win for you, you doubled down on your tangent and became defensively rabid about an argument no one was making.

Lol. The idea that you think individual people making 60k a year where they are largely traveling nowhere other than to work and back are the ones that decrease their emissions by 97% is just bonkers.

That metric in the article, in conjunction with the OOP's article, which quite likely accurate, doesn't accrue enough accuracy on where the weight of blame lies imo.

The correlated idea borderlines on original sin nonsense. And yes, while simply existing in the inefficient system that is the US rises your carbon footprint, there are far more significant measures that could be made than telling people edging the poverty line to reduce their emissions.

Also your link you keep posting around doesn't seem to account for cost of living, PPP, taxation etc, or if it does, it doesn't seem to source it. It would be interesting to see how those numbers change with those variables accounted for.

I'm seeing it quite a lot on mastodon where maintainers from big projects, like even curl, are expressing their grief and annoyance with ai generated bug reports wasting their time and overwhelming them. I don't think it's an isolated incident.

That first paragraph, do you have a source for that?

I tried to find proof and all I could find was that the grand jury that was hearing it as a felony refused to indict, so the prosecutors went with a misdemeanor that doesn't require a grand jury indictment.

There were a few OTHER instances of grand juries refusing to indict other people accused on assaulting federal officers, but those were unrelated to the incident in question.

I'm not even sure it's legal (...not that legality matters to this regime, I know) to shop grand juries ... like that first paragraph implied, is it?
