kent_eh,

Ukraine has no interest in a ceasefire that causes them to lose territory to the Russian invaders.

And rightfully so.

kent_eh,

Putin is welcome to cease firing and get his army back on the other side of the fucking border any time he likes.

kent_eh,

I have been running Linux for some time now,

Same. Windows 95 was the last MS install on my personal machine.

Lightburn for controlling laser engravers.

It’s pretty much the only choice on Linux (though it is cross platform). Free 30 day trial, then ~$80 lifetime licence.

The other choice is LaserGRBL, which is open source, but doesn’t seem to have a Linux port for some reason. And it has a lot fewer features, with a more complex workflow.

kent_eh,

What are they gonna do? Set up “settlements” in Ireland and Spain?

kent_eh,

Part of me this at this point that Netanyahu is partially prolonging the war because he wants Democrats to be divided and Trump to win so he has an even friendlier US.

That also seems to be part of Putin’s plan.

kent_eh,

if they own the major venues in every town

When you say “own” in this context, do you mean they actually bought the building, or just that they have an exclusive contract with the venue?

kent_eh,

for most concert venues, you can show up in-person, buy them from a physical ticketing kiosk

Unless that show was “completely sold out” before the physical ticket office opened for business.

Navigation is not the biggest challenge with self driving.

Obstacle avoidance in an intelligent manner is the bigger problem to solve.

If you want people to trust your self driving solution, it has to be able to account for other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, wildlife, trains, fog, blowing snow, potholes, and a myriad of other things that can’t be predicted in advance nor be plotted on a map.

kent_eh,

The US government has never been supportive of the ICC.

And has always been a strong supporter of Israel no matter what they are doing.

seriously doubt the USA will exist in 50 years

As someone in a country that shares a land border with the Americans, I am increasingly concerned about the instability (and likely violence) that will accompany that impending collapse.

I hope sanity can prevail, but it’s looking pretty bleak.

kent_eh,

Call me old fashioned, but I still go to bricks-and-mortar stores to compare a few options when I’m making an important or expensive purchase.

Yes, that is getting increasingly difficult these days.

kent_eh,

Hmm…wonder if this has anything to do with the settlements on them airing false election claims.

I have to assume Fox’s staff have had some pretty pointed training sessions from their corporate lawyers to try and prevent another costly lawsuit loss.

kent_eh,

As long as he doesn’t super obviously foment violence then he’s not getting sued.

Fox doesn’t want to be dragged into that lawsuit for enabling Trump.

And they know that when he gets on one of his rants, it can go off the rails in all sorts of unpredictable (and legally risky) ways.

kent_eh,

You’d think, as a lawyer himself, that Costello would know better than pissing off the judge.

I guess he’s just another in the long history of Trump hiring the worst lawyers.

kent_eh, (edited )

he has a right to run for office.

The Republican party has allowed him to be their candidate for president.

They absolutely could choose to prevent him from having that role if they wanted to.

kent_eh, (edited )

Someone who is: Tough on Crime™, Fights for Liberty™, Cares for Children™, a Successful Business Man™, Fights Wokeness™, Highly Intelligent™, Protects Democracy™, and Fights for Christianity™, is what those on the right are made to believe Trump is.

Even though each and every one of those things is a provably blatant lie.

kent_eh, (edited )

He may be popular to some of them, but he’s also turned the party into a cult of personality that has abandoned most of what it used to claim to believe in.

When he dies (or loses his ability to attract a crowd), the party will be a husk of its former self. They’ll have abandoned their principles which attracted fiscal conservatives in the past, and won’t have their cult leader to rally around.

kent_eh,

Definately war crimes.

kent_eh,

If Microsoft announces that this is going to be forcibly installed on all versions of Windows, then we can grab our pitchforks

Complaining when it is already released is too late to stop it.

kent_eh,

menace me with a knife

Regardless, a knife isn’t any risk to innocent people across the street from the intended victim. A gun on the other hand…

kent_eh,

Meanwhile the mis/dis-information campaigns continue to roll along at an ever accelerating speed around the world.

kent_eh,

Trump and his allies are laying the groundwork to contest a potential loss

He did that in the run up to the 2016 (and 2020) election as well.

Trump has always claimed that if he doesn’t win it must be because someone (other than him) was cheating.

kent_eh,

Kind of stands out to me more than the Canadian bit

After being in the US for 20 years, they can keep him.

kent_eh,

Assuming it works the way Google says it does,

There was a time when I trusted Google to be open and honest.

But that time is long in the past.
