What gets me about this justification is that the incremental fascism that occurred under Clinton, Dubya, Obama, and Biden is what made all this possible in the end.
They crawled fascism so Trump could speedrun it.

Fedora will now accept generative code contributions. This is the policy users will have to follow. TL;DR: Fedora will accept generative code so long as it is disclosed as such.
The burden will be on reviewers to determine whether contributors adhere to the pinkie promise.

If you want to understand how untenable, radically new, and ridiculous the anti-trans idea of gender is, just consider Laker Jackson. He's an eighth grader in Arizona that is no longer allowed to participate in sports with his peers or use the boys facilities, despite having done so his entire life up until now without issue. He's a kid just trying to play sports with his friends and pee in peace.
He's also not trans.
Laker is a cis boy, but his birth certificate listed his assigned gender at birth as female. Because of anti-trans laws, his family can't correct the problem. Literally just a clerical error is all it takes for the government to decide, against all reason, that Laker is a boy.
Congratulations, the government now gets to decide your gender. That's a new power that the far right has decided the government should have over the past few years.

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social thinks a written constitution would somehow impede a #Fascist takeover of the United Kingdom. I admire his optimism: look how well it's working in the United States.
I mean, a written constitution would be a Good Thing, but it's worth no more than the paper it's written on, unless people broadly stand up to defend it; which they won't.

The image is a digital illustration depicting a plane flying towards the White House. The plane is dark and imposing, with a sense of threat conveyed through its silhouette. The White House is prominently displayed in the background, appearing vulnerable. The illustration uses a muted color palette, emphasizing the drama of the scene. The text overlay reads "24 years later" in a black font. It also includes “29.2K Views” and "8:47 AM - 25 Oct" at the bottom of the image.

getchipdrop.com is a service in the States that provides free mulch. The downside is you don't get to really specify type, quantity, or exact delivery time. It's basically a queue so when an arborist has a job nearby they can drop the load at your location instead of driving to a dump site. Came through yesterday for us with the biggest load we've gotten and great quality. Guess they're working on oak trees for the city right now. Going to be a long day of moving mulch!

Tearing down the East Wing is not the goal nor the prize. If you need to build a tall structure on that site, you’re going to need to dig to lay foundation and support. That sure gives a LOT of cover to bug the Presidential Emergency Operations Center which lies underneath, and encase them into concrete.
Remember the US Embassy building we built in Moscow and quickly abandoned after it was discovered to be highly bugged? That HAPPENED and was a very real thing.

Seems to me the PEOC is a much bigger prize.

I KNOW it sounds like a big tinfoil hat moment and, maybe so. But this stuff really does happen and it is a very real risk. Do you trust this administration to thoroughly vet workers and plans, and ensure strict protocols and procedures are kept?
I do not.

Behind the person, there's a large white building with columns, likely the White House. The sky is bright blue and clear. Text at the top of the image reads: "Obama built a basketball court.”

basically copy the contents of /home to a drive and back again, and you're good. some settings do not transfer, like wifi configuration you've set up as "accessible to all users".
if someone can walk you through setting up /home on a second partition on the same disk, this is optimal. you can distro hop or reinstall and never have to worry too much about losing your files. just be careful of any install option that says "erase disk and install [distro]". and make sure when you're installing a new distro, you go looking for some option that says "use sda2 as /home" and that any option to format is unchecked.

Sam O'Hara went viral for playing "The Imperial March" behind groups of National Guard soldiers in D.C. He also says it led to him being illegally detained.C.J. Ciaramella (Reason Magazine)
The image is a screenshot of a news article. The article features a photograph of an individual with short dark hair and glasses, smiling slightly. The headline reads "Michelle Wu has one of the highest approval ratings in the country." Below the headline is a short excerpt that states, "Voters across Massachusetts have overwhelmingly approved of her record on affordable housing, expanding public transportation, and closing the gap between the rich and poor. The state recently voted for a wealth tax that is expected to benefit the city’s wealthiest residents.” The bottom of the image has the text “Nobody can say she’s been running unopposed in 2022.”

The FDA is hiding the names of drugs made in contaminated factories
Is Your Medication Made in a Contaminated Factory? The FDA Won’t Tell You.
propublica.org/article/fda-hid…“Is there some quality issue? Is there a greater difference in potency than expected? Is there a contaminant? I don’t know,” said Dr. Donna Kirchoff, a pediatrician in Oregon who has spent hours trying to find out where certain drugs were made for patients reporting unexplained reactions.

White House releases list of those bribing Trump with contributions to his ballroom.
The ballroom will not benefit US citizens in any way at all. It is simply a way for the wealthy to bribe Trump and get away with it.

The image shows a carved pumpkin on a table. The pumpkin is orange and round, with a triangular nose and two circular eyes carved into its surface. A wide, rectangular mouth is also carved into the pumpkin, revealing the interior. The pumpkin rests on a red and white checkered tablecloth. Behind the pumpkin is a wrought-iron chair and a brick wall, both slightly out of focus. There is no text present in the image.

TIL you can look up #ICE on #LinkedIn, scroll to People, and see just which racist motherfuckers are proud enough to both work for and advertise their association with ICE. It even shows you which people live in your town.
If you know any of these #fascist fucks, do not let them shy away from their complicity. Shame them until they quit.

Good news! It's getting harder to keep track of new #chatmail relays :)
Recently several public relays were added to the chatmail.at/relays list, in Warsaw, Helsinki, Romania and Barcelona.🧡
If you have #deltachat installed on mobile, you can go to any chatmail relay website in the list and click on a link there to create a chat profile.
It's wonderful to hear about collectives setting up chat infrastructure like the recent xat.fedi.cat from @fedicat and @eXOfasia
