As a kind reminder, a majority* of Americans elected Dumbo President.

Not just once, but TWICE.

Let me repeat this, for the people in the back: a majority* of Americans elected Dumbo President not just once, but TWICE.

And I am willing to bet a lot of Americans still think Dumber is a swell guy.

Follow me for more unfunny facts.

(* yeah, yeah, yeah, we can argue until we are blue in the face, but the fact is, that dumb guy is President. And you are not. You are welcome.)

"The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

-- H.L.Mencken

ICE shows up at a construction site and nearly everybody takes off running.
This is amusing to me, but also annoying. There needs to be enforcement against the people that are hiring these illegals.
From my experience, they are mostly used to improve profit margins not provide lower prices, displacing local citizens from potential employment in the process.

A crazy lady who runs a bronchietasis forum keeps urging me to go off my Crohn's medication because it's an immunosuppressant and she's against immunosuppressants. I don't like them either, but I like randomly shitting my pants less. Everyone thinks they know about Crohn's disease unless they HAVE Crohn's disease (not some other intestinal distress), then they switch to dear god anything that keeps you from shitting your pants, do that. Everyone else tells me to only eat meat, or to eat fresh dirt (seriously!), or to "wean off" my biologic drug (if she knew how biologics worked she'd know there's no weaning off, you develop antibodies immediately and once you go off or even use them less, they lose 100% efficacy and you can't go back on).

Pour mémoire . Cela s'est passé à Paris . En plein nettoyage ethnique de #Gaza Comme nous l'a raconté le journal l'Humanité .

Imaginez un #quiz dont la question est: « Depuis le début de la guerre, si 55000 personnes sont mortes à Gaza, dont 55% de civils, ça fait combien de Gazaouis qui sont morts? 10,5 %, 24,6 %, 1,3% ou 5,5% ? Quel est le bon chiffre ? » Sur l'écran où figure le graphique, le chrono défile, le suspense est à son comble. Qui va trouver la bonne réponse pour être l'heureux gagnant? L'ambiance est festive. L'animatrice #BarbaraLefèbvre, chroniqueuse à RMC, précise, avec une pointe d'ironie: « On compte les civils morts, on ne parle pas des terroristes du #Hamas. » Ce jeu glaçant n'est pas imaginaire. On a cru à une fake news.
Hélas non. Il s'est déroulé, sous les applaudissements du public, le 27 mai, au salon Hoche à #Paris, lors du premier gala des Diaspora Defense Forces ( #DDF), une organisation qui se présente comme «une armée citoyenne de défense de la communauté juive en diaspora et en Israël à l'échelle mondiale, déterminée à gagner la guerre de la communication et le combat pour la vérité sur #Israël ».

Parrainé par Olivier #Rafowicz, le médiatique porte-parole de l'armée israélienne, ovationné lorsqu'il est apparu en direct sur un écran, le gala était orchestré par le célèbre publiciste Frank #Tapiro, leveur de fonds pour la cause. À ses côtés, la chroniqueuse de BFMTV RMC, Barbara Lefèbvre, qui, le 31 mai à l'antenne, appelait à « vider la bande de #Gaza et à la transformer en zone vierge », car, selon elle, « les civils à Gaza sont autant responsables que les membres du Hamas et du Djihad islamique». Des personnalités francaises du monde des médias et des affaires, des artistes et des politiques étaient invités aux festivités.
Parmi eux #BHL Bernard-Henri Lévy, #EnricoMacias, l'animateur #Arthur, l'acteur #PhilippeLellouche, l'essayiste #CélinePina, l'homme politique Amine El Khatmi, cofondateur du Printemps républicain. La députée des Français de l'étranger Caroline #Yadan ou Astrid Panosyan-Bouvet, avant sa nomination comme ministre du Travail, avaient participé, elles, à des conférences organisées
Comment comprendre et admettre que de tels événements se déroulent sur le territoire français , au moment où de plus en plus de voix s'élèvent enfin contre ce qui est reconnu comme un génocide et alors même que le président français, Emmanuel Macron, s'efforce d'avancer sur la reconnaissance d'un État palestinien et pour que cesse le massacre en cours à Gaza?
Au cours de ce gala, les journalistes Laurence #Ferrari, de #CNews, et Franz-Olivier #Giesbert ont été décorés du prix dit des Justes, récompensés pour « leur fervent soutien à Israël et à la diaspora». La journaliste emblématique de l'empire #Bolloré affirmait le 22 mai, dans un de ses éditoriaux sur CNews: « Les opposants d'Israël sont aujourd'hui la pire caution des terroristes. »

L'événement a suscité de vives réactions d'émotion et d'indignation. Le député LFI Aymeric Caron a annoncé le 30 mai sa décision de saisir la procureure de la République de Paris. Il considère que le gala relève de « l'apologie de crimes d'atteinte à la vie, apologie de crimes de guerre, apologie de crimes contre l'humanité, voire complicité desdits crimes».

Why is there no fediverse project forma online sales (like eBay)?

I get that involving payment adds a layer of complexity, bit it shouldn't be that hard? And with the rising rates of older platforms it feels like a missed opportunity

Are you maybe looking for flohmarkt?

The name flohmarkt is a german word and translates to flea market or garage sale in english. This is a symbol for each flohmarkt being meant to be a small place for a somehow connected group of people. All the flohmarkts willing to federate make up one big place for small advertisements about exchange of goods and services.

GNOME 45 video: youtu.be/RQSA0nZaF6M

The installer is still Anaconda, not the new one. You're getting the kernel 6.5. Fedora 39 also drops the modular repos. You're still not getting DNF 5, the new version of the package manager. Other changes include dropping the custom theming for Qt apps, changing the default color of the terminal, and there's a new spin of Fedora Silverblue, the immutable distro, but this time with Budgie as its desktop, it's called Fedora Onyx.

Of course, the biggest changes to your experience on Fedora will be with GNOME 45. So, the first change will be to Activities, with the new workspaces indicator, when you click it, it opens the activities view, but visually, it now shows your current virtual desktop as an elongated pill, and the other virtual desktops as small circles. The app menu also disappeared from the top bar in the process.

In the quick settings, you now get the ability to control keyboard backlight. You can also open the quick settings menu by pressing Super + S, and you can now click a background app to open its window, and you'll get a small indicator when closing one of these background apps.

Finally, in the top bar, you'll get a new webcam activity indicator.

Apart from that, there's a new "split headerbar look" that reached a few apps. In terms of apps, Nautilus gained a way faster search: tracker. Once a search has completed, you also get a "Search everywhere" button that lets you search the whole filesystem.

GNOME 45 also brings a new image viewer, called Loupe, Cheese, the camera app, is replaced with Snapshot, GNOME console got a new preference item to customize fonts, GNOME maps gained a new experimental vector based tileset.

As per GNOME Software, you can now clear all the user data associated with a flatpak app when you uninstall it, and you'll see messages in the search results and app details pages to let you know if a flatpak is end of life and hasn't received updates in a long time.

And now, let's talk hardware: the Fedora Slimbook. This is a partnership between Fedora, and, you guessed it, Slimbook, the linux hardware manufacturer based in Spain.

It's a 16 inch laptop, that only weighs 1.5 kilos, or 3.3 pounds. It has a 2K 16:10 display, at 2560 by 1600 at 90hz. It supports 100% of sRGB, and has a brightness of 400 nits and an anti glare coating.

The laptop has some Fedora branding, with a super key using the Fedora logo, and a Fedora logo is also present on the top left corner of the laptop. The chassis is a magnesium and aluminium alloy.

In terms of specs, you get an intel i7 12700H, it's paired with an Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti, with 4 gigs of VRAM. On top of that, you get to pick between 16, 32 or 64 gigs of RAM, running at 3200 Mhz, it's not soldered. As per storage, you get 500 gigs of SSD, with the ability to fill 2 M.2 slots with up to 4 TB in total.

In terms of I/O, the laptop comes with 2 USB A ports, 3.2 Gen 1, with 1 USB C 3.2 Gen 2 that supports display port 1.4, and one Thunderbolt 4 port that supports charging and displayport, but it's hardwired to the integrated intel GPU. There's also an HDMI port, wired to the Nvidia GPU, a headphone jack, and an SD card slot, plus a barrel charger port.

You'll get Wifi 6 and bluetooth 5.2, and an 82 WH battery, that, in my experience, gives you about 6h to 7h or regular use.

Finally, it has 2 speakers, that are solid enough and have decent sound and bass, a 1080p webcam that isn't terrible but also not that great, and a mic that's really mediocre.

It also has a wonderful feeling keyboard, and a giant touchpad, which feels absolutely fantastic to use especially for all the gestures GNOME has to navigate the desktop and the apps.
