Google admits anti-competitive conduct involving Google Search in Australia

Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4…

ive come to the realization recently that most people, and especially most cishets, forego ever making any significant impact on culture or the community in order to settle down and have kids, and that broadly this leads to an effect where the drivers of culture are either extremely rich or extremely eccentric and lucky, with very few people per generation ever having a significant impact on life inside of, not to mention outside, their community.

and generally throughout history, in my view, this has been a choice made out of direct self-preservation (due to harsh censorship, social pressure, and punishment for ideas against the prevailing ones) or indirect self-preservation (refusing to dedicate oneself to any particular cause because doing so would detract from one's ability to procreate, provide for, and raise children.) all this is to say that i think not having kids is a life choice that predisposes one towards radical action (culturally or otherwise) and i wish more people realized the amount of autonomy they have to just go out and do things

Hey, fediverse, I'm curious. Does your country have a group of separatist weirdos called "sovereign citizens" or the like? Comment with your country and the exact name they use, if you would. I'd like to see if my theory about them being the advance troops for trumpians holds up.

Please boost for reach. Thanks! #poll #SovereignCitizens #FascismEarlyWarningSystem #PoorAustralia

ANOTHER TRANSGENDER ICE MURDER
Suspects in Texas ICE shooting tied to trans, anti-fascist activism
archive.ph/BvLYx

"According to federal prosecutors, the suspects set off fireworks and spray-painted staff vehicles just after 10:30 p.m., then unloaded up to 30 rounds of gunfire, wounding a police officer in the neck."

"A SWAT team had smashed through the front door of the residence, which neighbors say was occupied by several transgender women, part of a group of activists who initially united around trans and queer identity issues. Now, the women, dressed in bathrobes and pajamas, were being detained at gunpoint, neighbors said."

"Inside the house in Dallas, officers discovered nine firearms and a person wanted in connection with the shooting, a transgender woman named Autumn Hill, according to charging documents. The other residents were released without charges. Ten days later, authorities arrested Benjamin Song, 32, a Marine-reservist-turned-anti-fascist activist, and charged him with firing one of the weapons recovered at the scene."

"During a 35-minute interview with The Post at the Johnson County Jail, Song declined to discuss the circumstances of the protest at the ICE facility or the charges against him, which include aggravated assault on a public servant and aiding in commission of terrorism. He was more willing to talk about his evolution from conservative Texas teen and regular Rush Limbaugh listener to far-left activist."

"Though Morris identifies as a woman and legally changed [his] first name in 2007, the government’s complaint identifies [him] by [his] birth name and [he] is being housed in a segregated room in the jail’s men’s facility. [He} said [his] jailers are refusing to provide hormone replacement therapy medication, which helps with [him] recovery and health after gender transition care."

"The attack on the Prairieland facility stands out for the use of firearms against federal officers and for the alleged perpetrators: The Post’s examination of the case found that the purported attackers were among a secretive network of Dallas anti-fascists, part of a growing movement of far-left political resistance that some experts say has shown signs of increasing in violence in the Trump era."

"But violence involving the left-wing has been on the rise since Trump’s first election in 2016, said Daniel Byman, a Georgetown University professor and terrorism expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. With Trump’s second term in the White House, he said, far-right groups have turned their ire away from government and toward liberal social causes, prompting left-wing extremist groups to organize to defend those groups and target Trump’s government."

‘The other side has guns’
Even in Texas, building acceptance in leftist spaces for gun-wielding anti-fascists proved to be slow going. At the Dallas women’s march in 2017, anti-fascists who arrived carrying firearms were turned away by organizers."

1 of the newer schools of tai chi made after the 5 most prominent family named schools is called Mulan Tai Chi

It was created by a woman with health problems after she used TaiChi to get better

She created her own form or dance routine

The main difference in her form that I have seen after watching the videos is the following

In the Yang Forms I have seen there are a lot of poses where the 2 hands are far apart from one another

But in the Mulan forms I have seen the hands are close together

Not sure if this answers your question, on my fresh install of Debian 13 it seems to default to using

/etc/apt/sources.list

For example, I had to go in there to enable non-free and it worked fine.

There is a newer/recommended format of sources files ending in .sources in the same folder. The newer format is supported as of Debian 13 but for whatever reason Debian 13 doesn't actually default to installing the newer version on fresh installs. I'm a bit confused by that but Debian's own docs do discuss it.

wiki.debian.org/SourcesList

On my fresh install the /etc/apt/sources.list.d still exists, it looks like other software still create their own sources .list files in there when adding their own repos. Debian 13 itself does not seem to generate any files there.
