When given the opportunity, I believe the SCOTUS majority refused to cite ANY behavior by a POTUS that they would call illegal, EVEN the assassination of political rivals. Did I get that wrong?
If I am correct (above) then SCOTUS DID grant Trump something akin to royal prerogatives.
But I know almost nothing about the law and would benefit from your corrections of my misunderstandings.
i did not forget #mechamusumemonday, either! highlights are the cloth-like design of the first image, the nice accents of the gundam musume, and the detail on Toki's armory.
It seems like every time I take a step forward in life, something comes along and knocks me half a step back. I acknowledge that I'm gaining ground overall. But it's frustrating as hell that I can never fully enjoy the fruits of my wins.

Previously on Debian 12 I followed a guide to install the AAC audio codec for my Air Pods yet after upgrading to Debian 13 I seem to have lost the codec as I can no longer select them in KDE sound settings leaving only A2DP/SBC and A2DP/SBC-XQ, now I’m a bit at a lost as I remember all I had to do was put a aac.so file into /usr/lib/x86\_64-linux-gnu/spa-0.2/bluez5/
Israelis Understand That Trump Can End The Nightmare In Gaza. Americans Should Know This Too.
It’s so revealing how Israelis keep begging Trump to end the killing in Gaza, because they understand that the US president has the power to force Israel to stop. It seems like Israelis understand this far better than Americans do.

Title misleading: you did not lose "the" AAC codec after upgrading. You're asking for advice regarding a custom solution that stopped working after the upgrade.
The AAC codec is unavailable in Debian 12 bookworm.
In the case of PipeWire its support (see the 1021370 request) requires the non-free libfdk-aac2 package. A request to provide free version of the package was declined due to possible licensing and patent issues (see 981285). The only workaround is to build the AAC Bluetooth plugin from sources.
I couldn’t find instructions from Bluez to install the source and I didnt want to risk breaking my current install by just guessing hence why I went with the solution posted on Reddit.

yea so simulating a macpherson strut with a spring, embeddedin your assembly with dynamic spring compression, turns out to be more difficult than it should be.
that's ok i found a workaround just by splitting the strut assembly in 2 parts and estimating where the strut is going to bottom out and where it's going to rest by default. not ideal but i'm also gona make everything adjustable to optimize the physical part

Universities are in a very tough place. I think most people in academia understand what the dynamics are.. thanks to 2008 and the fertility drop off, there are a lot less kids hitting college age right now. Match that with the continuing erosion of government financing for higher education and especially the war on America being wage right now. Higher education is in a bad way in the US.

Reminded of all the times in the 2000s when I had what I would later discover to be gout flares but multiple doctors told me I was just fat and putting too much weight on my joints. If you don’t know, gout is a form of arthritis and one of the most acutely painful conditions known to medicine.
Yeah, it’s a form of joint inflammation, to begin with, but it’s progressive if untreated and can really fuck you up. Even in the early stages it’s definitely top ten most painful things ever. 10/10 pain. A common thought is that you’d rather it be amputated.
I’ve cut my own toenail down the bed and ripped it off with pliers, I’ve had a nail through my foot, a heart problem that caused pain like a rusty knife being dragged through my sternum to my jaw, and a bowel obstruction where they had to give me IV morphine in the ER. It’s worse than those.
Several. Colchicine, NSAIDs, and corticosteroids for attacks & allopurinol and febuxostat to (ideally) prevent attacks. Dietary changes can help but it’s not caused by diet, just exacerbated by eating certain things. It’s an inborn error of metabolism.
There’s no cure though. And there are drawbacks to all of those drugs, and I know from personal experience that allopurinol causes me to have a massively disabling attack, because changes to your serum uric acid levels *either* way can cause that, even if lowering them helps in the long run.
Honestly the way it’s seen by doctors as kind of trivial is so fucking weird and that’s what really upsets me. It’s a cultural bias, almost a delusion.
I know it used to be attributed to overeating? that was always my vague sense of what it was. and I hadn't realized it was even still a thing honestly.
It’s not uncommon. About 4% of the US population has it. And it’s not at all related to overeating. That said, if you have it, there are things you should not eat, that are high in purines. Shellfish, aged cheeses and meats, alcoholic beverages, etc.
But for whatever reason it’s seen as this old-timey sore foot thing where you take a couple Advil instead of it actually being way past pain they’ll even now prescribe oxycodone for.
GAGS (#GWA Advanced Gender Search) is a tool for searching #EroticAudio / #AudioPorn subreddits like #GoneWildAudio and #EroticHypnosis. unlike GWASI, GAGS lets you search for exactly which listener genders and speaker genders you want. for example you could search for only files by trans men or genderqueer people, and exclude all files for men. I hope this will be especially helpful for beings with complicated sexualities and/or genders who can’t just search for something simple like
[F4M]so if you’re interested in that, please give it a try! keep in mind that it might be a little bit slow because I’m using a cheap VPS, and the reddit API is also very slow
please let me know if:
you use a screen-reader and run into problems screen-reading GAGS
you’re confused about how to use GAGS (I want to make the UI as easy-to-understand as I can)
you get an error page when trying to use it, or you can’t connect to it
it takes more than 30 seconds to load a page (this is way too long)
you find a security vulnerability
most importantly, if you like GAGS or it helped you find something good. I would love to know that I was able to help!
I have very limited energy, but if there’s enough interest and I have the energy to spare then I do want to keep improving #GAGSProject, so feedback is appreciated 💙
also, if GAGS was helpful then please consider boosting this post so that more beings can try it. I don’t want to get deluged with traffic or anything but I’d like to help as many beings as possible find hot audios to listen to that are tailored to their gender and orientation
