The failed nazi puts faux entertainment host Sean Duffy in charge of #NASA

Duffy has no scientific background, but does have experience with transportation, as a former contestant on the MTV reality TV game show Road Rules, a Winnebago driving event.

Voting matters. This past election was the most consequential in our 249-year history, and 89 million Americans failed to fulfill their civic duty.

The American government is effectively ending its space program, just as Putin wanted.

Estava devendo um testemunho sobre aluguel de infraestrutura em centro de dados da empresa alemã Contabo, da qual ainda, embora não mais com tanto gosto, sou cliente — assim como #Ayom já tinha passado a ser, pouco antes, por seu fundador e principal mantenedor @pedro@ayom.media .

Atendi a pedidos da própria empresa, aparentemente enviados em massa para clientes brasileiros, para que fizesse uma avaliação do serviço num tal TrustPilot, que parece análogo ao brasileiro ReclameAqui, ou vice-versa. Segue uma cópia adaptada do relato:

⭐️⭐️ Tecnicamente nos conformes, porém enganosa para o consumidor

Estou extremamente insatisfeito com a prática comercial da Contabo, em especial em relação a um aumento de 20% na mensalidade que passou de 5.50 dólares para 6.60 com a justificativa de uma suposta descontinuação do suporte à minha máquina virtual. Isso pareceu um estratagema de manipulação que se aproveitou da boa-fé do consumidor e contornou os Termos e Condições do serviço (Cláusula 4-9) para evitar tratar seu potencial abusivo. Embora o serviço tecnicamente funcione, o lapso ético é decepcionante.

Pela legislação europeia, acredito que isso possa ser considerado abusivo por desprezar a boa-fé e criar desequilíbrio entre as partes. No Brasil, provavelmente seria julgado abusivo e nulo de acordo com o Código de Defesa do Consumidor que proíbe tais práticas enganosas.

Acabei mantendo o plano original e depois contratei um novo, até perceber que ambas as máquinas têm infraestrutura idêntica. Isso é revoltante e destaca ainda mais a falta de ética do fornecedor.

Sugestão de melhoria: Para construir confiança, a empresa deve divulgar claramente suas práticas comerciais padrão tais como potenciais aumentos de preço após o primeiro ano e oferecer opções genuínas de continuidade do serviço a fim de não enganar os clientes.


Reposta da empresa:

Obrigado por dedicar tempo para compartilhar sua opinião. Lamento realmente pela sua experiência — nós levamos isso a sério e vamos investigar mais a fundo.

Used @Vivaldi for the entire day today and I gotta be honest, I got used to the non-Arc-like tabs pretty fast.

Tab stacks are cool, I wish drag and drop was smoother (or at least gave better visual feedback), but overall I think it solves my need for organizing tabs quite well.

I set new tabs to always open in a stack with the current tab (i.e. if I open a link in a page in a new tab, it creates a stack for it) which helps with keeping things tidy when going down a rabbit hole.

I also mapped the Quick Commands dialog to open on cmd+t, mimicking Arc's spotlight-thingy. It is fast and works quite well, especially after configuring it to open links in a new tab as well.

Gonna keep using it, I think. Arc still works and probably will for a while, but I'm preparing for the day its updates cease. Plus, Vivaldi seems to deserve some spotlight, there's obviously a lot of care put into it.

G. #Kuzmanovic . Fréquence Populaire Média

🚨 Vladimir #Poutine a bel et bien participé au sommet des #BRICS2025 à Rio !
📺 À voir ici : youtu.be/s91VEpdsBgs
🐑 Certains répètent comme des moutons que #Poutine n’était pas présent.
👉 Faux ! Il est intervenu depuis Moscou, en visioconférence, lors de la séance plénière officielle, dans un décorum pleinement estampillé #BRICS.
Pour Fréquence Populaire Media, et afin de rendre ce discours accessible à tous pour que chacun puisse se faire sa propre opinion, j’ai traduit son intervention intégrale, que nous vous proposons sous-titrée en français :
💥 Refus de l’hégémonie occidentale et de la globalisation néolibérale.
🌍 Défense d’un monde multipolaire et souverain.
📣 Appel à la refondation des institutions internationales.
💱 Promotion des échanges en monnaies locales, hors du 💲.
👉 Pour information, la délégation russe était la deuxième plus importante du sommet, avec notamment Sergueï #Lavrov et Maxim #Oreshkin, directeur de cabinet de Poutine et pressenti comme l’un de ses successeurs.
🤔 Une fois encore, je suis sidéré par la légèreté avec laquelle la plupart des médias français et des "analystes" traitent ce qui se joue aujourd’hui dans le Sud global.

Brain: What are you doing?
Me: What am I DOING!? I'm trying to install AutoKey on #Linux Mint.
Brain: But you had it installed and running.
Me: I know. But it wasn't working correctly and I believe I had an incompatible version installed.
Brain: Did you follow the #GitHub instructions about uninstalling and making sure you have the right php dependencies - and then reinstalling the other version?
Me: Yeah... I think so...

I've bought it, wanted to play it on my Steamdeck... The steamdeck sitting in the dock from my sofa with the projector (HUGE picture at my wall) and a xbox gamepad... no chance it seems? As there is no controller support, or did I miss something? If so: Any chance to get controller support? Would be literally a game changer!
I mean - you know, a cyberpunk genre game should be played with a deck, right? ;)

Of Course Trump Doesn’t Want to Release the #EpsteinFiles

Not only was Trump intimately close to #JeffreyEpstein, but there is a wealth of reporting tying the #billionaire #pedophile to intelligence circles. Trump is once again protecting the #elites he claimed he would fight on the #campaign trail.

Hello, World!

I first learned Unix from NetBSD, moved on to running Linux myself in the 1990's along with FreeBSD and sometimes NetBSD. I'm also a former Solaris and OpenSolaris fan, and was an enthusiastic OS X user for a decade starting with 10.1.

These days my main machines are Fedora and recently NetBSD again. Work is programming microelectronics CAD software on RHEL.

I made this alt with the hope of following more of what's going on amongst BSD users, rather than just running a couple machines by myself.

#introduction

My favorite pet conspiracy theory is that the 2017 Las Vegas Massacre was a cover for the attempted assassination or kidnapping of a Saudi VIP. If true, it seems to connect to Trumps very supportive attitude toward Mohammed Bin Salman as he held Saudi royals in the Ritz-Carlton in Riyadh reportedly torturing them before forcing them to hand over billions in fines. Meanwhile certain Saudi officials were taken out or relived of duty. One year after the Las Vegas Shooting... 1/2

@DrChris I think the real action was at the Mandalay Bay hotel. The top floors of the Mandalay at the time were owned by Four Seasons. Four Seasons at the time was part owned by Prince Al Waleed bin Talal Al Saud (Bill Gates bought his share out in 2021). One month after the Las Vegas Massacre Prince Al Waleed was arrested by MBS as part of the wave of arrests: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017%E2%…

It's not exactly retrocomputing but it kind of is. Someone has started a project to make an Apple Lisa-like UI that runs in the browser. It's not just a font/icon thing. The way you did things on Lisa was very different than how we do things nowadays. It was a document-centric not app-centric workflow. It's pretty neat and pretty faithful representation. At first I thought it was infinitemac.org project which runs Mac and NeXT emulators in the browser running the real operating systems. That too would be an interesting project for someone to explore. #RetroComputing #Apple #AppleLisa alpha.lisagui.com/

Correct. Address and significance here:

Howard Lutnik didn't go to work on 911. He was a chief exec at Cantor Fitzgerald at the time.

He's now the US commerce sec, a role previously filled in the first Trump presidency by Wilbur Ross, Director of Rothschild, LTD during the 1990 Trump bankruptcy bailout.

Lutnik, lower portion of the meme, is attending Rabbi Schneerson's annual ceremony.

Lutnik bought the house that Epstein used to use on East 71st Street (owned by Wexner). Wexner bought the mansion next door and moved Epstein there.

Before Trump changed the law, corporations had to pay a 35 percent tax rate on their income. Now, Trump's bill locked in the corporate tax rate at just 21 percent.

How does the bill make up the lost revenue? With cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, starving working families and stopping people from being able to see a doctor so that corporate giants can pocket billions more.

For me it´s just a late-stage us-imperial theater for the plebs.
We all know, this list will never be released, ever!

Still it is funny for an non-`merican to observe: The MAGA crusaders once marched for "truth"—until the "truth" got too close to their daddy and his friends. On the other side anti-MAGA crowd still thinks Trump is some demonic anomaly, not the latest product of a rotting empire. Just sayin´

But who knows, maybe the list will come out one day… in 200 years, for some nerdy historian or bored archivist to scroll through. 😁
