Linus didn't shit on Linux as a whole, come on. Last time he tried Pop was over a year ago, he figured something might've changed in the meantime. And he did research what could be causing the issues (and found a fix for L4D2), and did also mention that overall the system was intuitive, installing it was fairly simple and he enjoyed not having his data being sold. He also said that all his devices were plug-and-play, no driver downloading shenanigans required. But of course he is going to highlight the issues he runs into, it's kind of the point of the video to show that not all experiences with Linux are seamless, and you can get radically different results depending on your chosen distro.

Having had Rutte as PM for a long time, this guy is a diplomat. He will say whatever he thinks needs to be said to whoever is listening to, without truly believing a single word of it. It makes him exceptionally good at maintaining relations, and that's what he's doing here: positioning NATO as an essential US ally, that the US benefits from. It's aimed directly at Trump and his sycophants.

And I mean it's his job to keep NATO together so sucking up to Trump is in his job description. But one thing is certain: don't believe Mark Rutte's words, since he doesn't really believe them himself.

Doubtful. Librewolf still uses Firefox as base.

I mean politically speaking it's Danish, so I suppose it makes sense to group it with Europe in some ways.

It does look a little odd though.

The Nedelin disaster claimed more lives than NASA did over its entire existence.

So this is the application form:

Mamdani was born in Uganda to a Ugandan father and an Indian (Gujarati) mother. Which box would you tick?

Mamdani opted to tick "Black/African American" as well as "Asian", and at the "Other" box wrote "Ugandan".

I personally fail to see the problem. Given the constraints of these boxes, this seems to be the most accurate way of describing his ethnicity? Am I missing something here? Why is NYT presenting this as an issue at all?

Trump saying he's white despite him being orange seems like a bigger discrepancy.

Valve didn't decide to pull it, and the game is still downloadable if you purchased it before.

Most non-voters don't hold significantly different beliefs than the voting population. In non-competitive states, it means motivating them to vote is unlikely to tip the scales. Why bother tipping the results from 60% to 55% by spending millions on it? Better to allocate those funds to a 53% to 48% potential flip.

In battleground states they do try to reach these people.

Bodily autonomy means only you have the absolute right to do with your body what you want. The "unborn child" has no right to claim your body for its own use. Removing it from the body is always done as safely as possible; before 24 weeks this means an abortion, as the fetus is non-viable still. After 24 weeks, it's called an induced birth and the baby gets to survive.

This without question ties the right to abortion to the right to bodily autonomy. The "rights of the unborn child" are respected by not killing it after 24 weeks.

Wouldn't solve it, drift can affect regular joystick operation as well, where pushing it all the way to the side could show up as it being stuck in the middle.
