They don’t need them anymore. Every future election will be fixed.

Thanks, I appreciate the sources.

What’s their beef with Syria still?

Also straight, healthy and neurotypical.

No, he just wants back into the background and do shady things in obscurity again. We all know the rich can’t and won’t stop meddling.

The US is not a member of the Rome Statute, nor the ICJ. They’ve openly threatened those institutions with sanctions if they go after them or their citizens.

The ICJ/ICC are only for the powerless, fallen, disgraced. The big players just don’t follow those institutions’ orders, at best cherry-pick what to follow.

I’d say I’m well aware how this works.

Of course, the situations are different. Nazi Germany had to be broken and the trials were conducted locally by the winners. Can’t just abduct high ranking military/politicians of foreign nations, that would set a bad precedent, and probably only work just exactly once. That’s why no-one is really giddy to arrest Putin or any of his boot lickers, too much unpredictable fallout, probably literal fallout.

Travel to the US for a game, end up in El Salvador. Can’t explain that.

Just following orders… the Concentration Camp guards all said the same during the Nuremberg trials. Most of them got hanged. Just FYI.

We’ll see what happens when their weakest start dying by the scores because Medicaid and social security are gone. If that and the concentration camps won’t do it, what will? For now it looks like they might become a subdued peasant folk like the Russians. Their protests and political actions won’t do anything because there is no-one listening to it, and more extreme opinions are nipped in the bud by aggressive censorship on all types of media.

Thanks, that was some great insight. Especially the drawbacks regarding cinnamon. Those are 100% things no normal user should ever have to think or worry about.

Also it’s soooo easy for someone not very knowledgeable to misconfigure the boot loader. Don’t touch boot loaders unless you’re okay with potentially losing access to both your original OS and the new Linux install. You’d then have to either learn on the go and repair it yourself, or beg/pay someone else to repair it.

Already prepared everything for the jump. Switched MS Office for LibreOffice, and Outlook for Betterbird. Tested install, configuration and access to backups in a VM. Next vacation I take I’ll go for it. Mint is my choice of Distro, because of Steam/Gaming reasons. With the US being antagonistic, if not outright hostile, right now, and Microsoft having their disgusting Copilot AI Analysis Fingers in everything, it’s the rational choice I think.

Easy. You ban products using PFAS. Done. Alternatives will be found if it’s pressing enough.

You can request features on their website! It’s called enhancement request, go and contribute :)

Thanks, I love these overviews.

He was already pissed when they built the Tesla plant in Germany. Strong unions and worker rights and environmental protections. All the things he so heavily dislikes, the Muppet.

Switched to LibreOffice, and Betterbird for Mail. Works well so far. Using Vivaldi as a browser, that’s a European project but with a modified Chrome core as far as I understand, the built-in AdBlocker works fine in combination with NoScript, even on mobile. Trying out Linux Mint so I can switch the OS when Windows 10 loses support later this year.

DNS gives your PC all the info on how to contact Domain Names like reddit.com or phtn.app. Your PC does that a lot and all the time. This connection is normally not verified or checked or encrypted. If you didn’t touch your DNS configuration you probably use your provider’s DNS server. So they know which services you use, which OS, where and when you go to which pages, and because there is no encryption anyone else may know or even change that, too. Instead of sending you directly to reddit.com a malicious entity might want to send you to another server first to do bad stuff. This is what makes it not secure.
