There are few doubts in the White House about Jill “Lady Macbeth” Biden’s role in covering up her husband’s cognitive deficits as she urged him to run for re-election.
Here's part of the problem: using platforms owned and operated by big tech to complain about the state of privacy/capitalism/public services/science/education/research/the environment/_________ does exactly the opposite of what you're trying to achieve.
Honestly. I find it amazing that some folks really think that "Unhinged billionaires with 100% more money than brains want to fuck you over even more!" is the tech news we want to read these days. Airbnb CEO wants to make an everything app? Awesome. Fold that everything app and shove up your ass. And fuck you too, the verge.

The ebb lasted a lot longer than I was rooting for. But now it seems to have caught a recent uptick. Still slight in terms of its maximum peak, but respectable: 47K Monthly Active Users. (about the same as the total number of MAUs on Lemmy!)
Furthermore, it's also reflected in the half-year Active Users, meaning it's not just people who signed in a couple months ago who are now checking back in -- looks like brand-new active participants.
Any idea what caused this? Another "migrate" campaign? Did Instagram do something stupid again? Or is it just a data glitch?

Public Call for DarkMod Beta Testing, "The Last Night in Stonemarket"
After a long year of tinkering and slaving over a hot DarkRadiant, I'm finally ready to start public beta testing of my new Dark Mod Fan Mission, "The Last Night in Stonemarket":
It's is a much bigger and more ambitious map than my first outing, and I'm sure it's in desperate need of outside eyes to help find and quash bugs. I'm mainly coordinating beta testing over at forums.thedarkmod.com/ , but if anybody plays DarkMod and wants to do some testing "out of band" over here, please feel free. I'd be happy to respond to feedback here.

There were two big opportunities in 2021 to significantly damage the fascist agenda, without even addressing the (eventual, inevitable) need for structural reform. Long-term high-visibility impeachment hearings, or meaningful improvements to voting access.
> But even that is expected to fail because Manchin and > Sinema have said they are unwilling to change the rules on > a party-line vote by Democrats alone.
Ah, well, nevertheless...
Anybody with a lick of sense could see what was happening, and yet here we are.
Reading the article it's tempting to give Schumer credit for claiming he would try to force a talking filibuster. Or to credit Obama for backing Manchin's stupid little headfake, *just in case* it could work as a real play.
Don't bother. Maybe Schumer was sincere, maybe he wasn't. Schumer lies constantly and without remorse. Maybe Obama's approach was worth a shot, maybe it wasn't. Obama doesn't like to lie, but what he really hates is arguing.
None of that mattered. The fundamental non-recoverable error was treating Manchin and Sinema as if they were acting in good faith, when they so obviously weren't.
Funny how there's always plenty of carrot for the rotating villain, eh? Never even the hint of a stick.
It doesn't matter whether the failure of the John R. Lewis Voting Act was tragic stupidity or shocking evil or just plain old laziness. It should have been disqualifying. Except it was just one more thing in an endless stream of disqualifying failures of Dem leadership. Going at least back to 2002, arguably much earlier.
Point being, 2024 wasn't "when things went wrong." Neither was 2016, really. 2021 was when things went wrong. 2009 was when things went wrong. 2003 was when things went wrong.
It helps to take that into account when you're thinking about what needs fixing, and how to fix it.
so if u guys see my previous posts, you would have a better understanding. Me and my ex broke up a month and a half ago and we’ve still been good friends and still had some sort of sexual relationship (we are 7 hours long distance). I was the one who carried so much hope and beat myself over it but I think I want to stop talking to him once and for all. I still love and care for him so much but I’ve fought and drained myself so hard the past two months my heart physically hurts. I know he see’s no hope in us and has said it himself which hurt me so much. And I always felt like there was hope so I would keep trying. But lately I’ve been feeling like his effort has diminished, which I get since we aren’t in a relationship like that anymore but even me being excited to tell him about my day and he’s just on his computer not replying or showing any emotions makes me feel belittled. I always listen to him. So this hurts the most. I’ve always felt shut out growing up so this triggers me so much. I told him about it last night and he said he’s knows he does it sometimes cuz he’s “working” but doesn’t know how to fix it. I simply said, it takes two minutes of your time to just listen. And if you can’t or you’re busy, say you will talk to me another time. Mine you, it’s 11pm and he was waiting for me to play a video game. He could’ve done it easily because if I had been ready 15-20 prior, he would’ve got off regardless. I know it sounds silly but honestly it’s the little things that get me, it’s the bare minimum.
I mentioned how the beginning he showed so much effort and more respect and stuff, and he agreed and said it’s because we don’t have much of a romantic relationship anymore. I love talking to him and care about him but I feel like this whole time has been ME beating MYSELF up over the whole situation physically, mentally, and emotionally and he’s been cruising along “healing himself” while talking to me so things will be easier. One day, hopefully, he will realize what he threw away and didn’t work for. How easily he gave up on me. Because it killed me but I know I need to keep moving.
I’m a very lonely person so this is very hard for me to do. I like having people around and not in a selfish way, I do care for people, but I don’t do good when I don’t have someone to lean on.
and if you see any issues, let me know! Lots and lots of new music/metadata/design going on, and I'm not the most careful when it comes to my own web stuff. ;)

The Pangolin looks like your standard 15 inch ultrabook. It's pretty thin, at 0.71 inches, or 1.8cm, and it weighs 1.79kilos, or almost 4 pounds. It's 16:9, with a 15.6 inches screen, and it's made of aluminium. The aluminium chassis is robust, with minimal deck flex around the hinge or the palm rests, and a bit more give in the middle of the keyboard.
And it's also pretty modular, you can open the laptop easily with 11 screws. Only the battery, wireless card and storage are accessible, the RAM seems soldered.
It comes with the Ryzen 7 6800U, an 8 core, 16 threads beast that goes up to 4.7 Gigahertz. It's paired with the integrated Radeon 680M. You also can only get it with 32 gigs of RAM. In terms of storage, you get a minimum of a 250Gig PCIE4 NVME SSD, and can go up to 16 TB.
It comes with WIfie 6E and Bluetooth 5.2.
The display is 15.6 inches, and only 1080p. It's 144hz refresh rate, and has a 70 Wh battery.
So, on the left, you get the barrel charger, an HDMI 2.0 port, 2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 type A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 type C port that supports display port 1.4 and also support charging the device.
You also get a headphone jack, and, interestingly, a physical killswitch for the webcam complete with a little LED to let you know when the camera is off.
On the right, you have another type A USB 3.2GEN 2, a full size SD card reader, which is nice, a pop-out gigabit ethernet port, and that little kensington lock to keep your laptop attached to your desk.
The Ryzen 7 6800U is a pretty powerful CPU. On Geekbench 6, it got a single core score of 2002 and a multi core score of 8662.
In terms of graphics, the integrated Radeon 680M can deliver surprisingly good performance. Running the usual Shadow of the tomb raider benchmark, at the native 1080p and medium settings, it got 30 FPS. On low settings, it managed an average of 42 FPS.
As per thermals, at idle, the CPU ran at around 34 to 38 degrees Celsius, and under load, during gameplay, it never went past 91 degrees.
Now for the battery life, with the display at 144hz, in balanced mode, running youtube videos in a loop on Firefox, it lasted for 7 hours.
When putting it in battery saving mode, with the display running at 60hz, it lasted for 8 and a half hours.
The Pangolin comes with a chiclet style keyboard. It's backlit. It comes with a numpad, and it's nice to use. Key travel is good, the stroke is precise, and the keys are large and nice. It comes with a SUPER key, of course
As per the touchpad, it's a decent size, it's very smooth, and while it's not centered which always annoys me, it works really well with Pop OS's gestures, the click is solid and doesn't rattle at all and the sound is satisfying. The only issue is with the two button spaces at the bottom: they don’t react to tap to click, which can lead to some missed inputs.
The webcam is 720p, and it's just not good. It's super stuttery, it's still a potato cam. The microphone is above average.
As per the speakers, they get pretty loud, but at max volume, they'll definitely start vibrating the chassis and you'll hear that sort of rattly sound. Apart from that, they do have a bit of bass, and they don't sound too tinny. They're good enough, basically, but not at max volume.

To switch to a more comfortable interface, open any of the applications of the suite. Click on the "View" menu, then "User interface". By default, it's the standard menubar and toolbar combo, but if you click on "tabbed", you'll see that you can now use a ribbon interface, just like what Microsoft Office uses.
Next, we'll look at the icons. From the tabbed interface, click the main menu, in the top right corner, and select "Options". Then click the "View" menu, and in the "Theme" drop down menu, you'll have plenty of options.
You can also reorder any of the icons from any of the tabs of the ribbon. CLick the main menu again, and then "customize". Then click the "Notebookbar" tab. here, yu'll see the "target" dropdown menu that lets you select which tab you want to change.
To install Microsoft fonts, you generally have a package in your distro's repositories, provided you enabled the non free software ones. the package is generally called ttf-mscorefonts or ttf-mscorefonts installer. On Ubuntu or Ubuntu based distros, for example, open a terminal, and run
sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
If you're using an arch based distro, you can find it in your graphical package manager through the AUR. For Fedora, I left a link in the description of the video.
If you want to use these fonts by default, you can configure that as well. Click the main menu, then Options. Then, go to the name of the app you're using, here it's LibreOffice Writer, and select the "basic fonts" tab.
You'll want to enable all compatibility features. To do that, open the main menu, then Options. In the Load Save tab, click on Microsoft Office, and make sure all the checkboxes are ticked.
Next, in the LibreOffice Writer tab, and the Compatibility tab, tick the "Reorganize form menu to have it MS compatible" checkbox. Also tick the "Word compatible trailing blanks" checkmark.
Next, if you interact with MS Office users a lot, you'll want to send them documents using the Office formats. Click on the "general" tab of the Load / Save panel, and in "Always save as", select Word 2007-365 (docx). Then in the document type dropdown, select spreadsheet, and change the "always save as" field to Excel 2007-365 xlsx, and repeat that step for Presentations and the pptx format.
To import styles and templates, click the "File" tab in Writer, and then "Templates". There, click the "Manage" button, in the top right corner, and click "Import". There, you can select "templates", "presentations", or "styles".
LibreOffice lets you install extensions to add features to the suite. You can head over to extensions.libreoffice.org to view a full list.
To install extensions, download them from the extensions portal, and you'll get a .oxt file. Then, in LibreOffice, click the "Extensions" tab, then the "extensions" menu, and "Extension manager". Click the "Add" button, and go find your oxt file to import it.
After that, these extensions will all display their commands in the "Extensions" tab.
