Might make for an interesting plot device for a novel, at least.

No, that's Florida.

If we're going this route, a Trump piñata sounds like the most fun way of making a protest really exciting.

SulMatul has a fantastic playthrough of the game if anyone is interested in experiencing the game without having to actually play the jank, otherwise it's on GOG and Steam and you'll probably want the restored content mod.

Even all the way back in 2021, an internal study by Twitter — as X used to be called before Elon Musk bought and rebranded the platform — found that its algorithms promote more right-leaning content than left.

(Except from article cited in above paragraph):

Twitter’s research said that Germany was the only country that didn’t experience the right-leaning algorithm bias. It could be related to Germany’s agreement with Facebook, Twitter, and Google to remove hate speech within 24 hours.

Huh. Sounds like things got really bad quickly for German Twits. Did the hate speech policy get rescinded when Musk took over? Also, I wonder if TikTok got worse after whatever deal they made to keep operating in the US - anecdotally I've heard US feeds have been pushing more alt-right content since then.

Yup, I ate this onion. I hate reality.

Timberborn is awesome. I play on the stable release (non-experimental branch) through Proton experimental and it runs about as well as it did under Windows. I'm running Bazzite (Fedora) though so my system is much more up to date than Debian, but I bet one of the awesome nerds here could help you get it running on Debian.

Proton DB page for the people smarter than I am, lol

I don't think it's just debt. Everyone already knows Trump doesn't pay his debts and he's spun it into a show of strength.

Musk has Trump's Twitter messages. His connections with Epstein might be able to bring him down, and he's dumb enough to brag about horrific things in Twitter DMs, I wonder if he actually did?

Maybe check your local Craigslist or e-waste recycler? Someone on Craigslist near-ish me has a 10" Dell Inspiron laptop for $25. There's also a HP mini 110 that the seller is asking way too much for, lol.

That size of laptop/netbook has kind of fallen out of fashion and it seems to be touchscreen tablet-likes in that size now. You'll want to keep build quality in mind with the older machines because a lot of stuff is soldered together at that size and age, I had a HP Stream 11 and the hardware recently failed - it was e-waste when I bought it but it ran Linux well until it died.

Thinkpad made 10" models?

... I found the Thinkpad 10, which is a tablet computer and a bit ridiculous for OPs intentions (or mine, for that matter, I'm looking for me too, lol).

Edit: the comment I'm replying to didn't mention size when I replied.

ope, kernel panic :/ (sh.itjust.works)

I'm on Bazzite and was able to rollback and ~~boot~~ get to the desktop, but I'm not completely sure where to go from here. I think I need to pin my current deployment before doing anything else? I think sudo ostree admin pin 0 ? (No, it's 1)

Help is welcome but I've barely begun to troubleshoot and I just installed Discord to ask on there. Looking for sympathy I guess?

Edit: phrasing

EDIT2: Not just me, someone on the uBlue Discourse linked to this post, and other people have posted about it on the Bazzite Discord. Roll back and wait, and curious if you're also on the Nvidia KDE build too. I should probably be helpful and open an issue on GitHub. :/

Edit 3: devs are working on it :)

Final edit: the devs released a working update this afternoon, I just updated and it works. I kinda like this atomic distro thing, at no point in time was my computer unusable. 10/10 experience, still would prefer to avoid future kernel panic at the disco, lol.

 

Based on what was posted on the Twin Cities Pride Facebook page, Target may have been kicked out.

 

And if you'd decide to leave, where would you go?

Context for why I'm asking: I'm trans and currently live in Minnesota, I moved here from Florida so I have some idea of how miserable big moves can be. I can get EU citizenship which makes me very lucky, but... Do I sit here and hope Minnesota can protect me from 🥭 or do I try to build a life somewhere else, again?

Right now, you're able to select the appropriate gender marker on your passport without a note from a medical professional (and a passport can be used in the vast majority of situations you'd use a birth certificate) but because the self select gender marker was done by executive action, it's extremely likely to be reversed when Trump takes office.

Also, having one might be a good idea in general.

 
 

Bauhaus Brew Labs has a NA Helles called Nah that I really like, but the only place I've found it is Whole Foods, which I'd rather not shop at. I'm guessing the brewery sells it, but they're not super conveniently located - anyone know of anywhere else in the Twin Cities that sells it? Bonus points for being near the Green Line, or possibly by Free Geek because it's always nice to have an excuse to stop in there.

Also got any recommendations for other tasty local NA beers? I'm not really a fan of IPAs, but maybe someone else will be interested if you've got suggestions?

Image description: four panel comic First panel shows hands holding a game boy with Pokemon Professor Oak saying "now tell me. Are you a boy? Or are you a girl?" Second panel shows a masculine presenting individual holding the game boy saying "Haha!, but of course I'm a ..." Third panel has the same person with a shocked expression. Fourth panel has the same person now presenting stereotypically fem in a pink top and a skirt, staring in the mirror with a tear of joy on her face.
