I’m well-educated and understand the historic use of “liberal” versus today’s common usage in the United States. My only real concern is that people who are only familiar with U.S. common usage might need some explanation.

Likely. I get why people find the modern American use of “liberal” as a synonym for the progressive left annoying, but word usages change and that one has unfortunately stuck, which makes references to the “liberal media” confusing.

I’m assuming you meant “liberal” ironically? Those outlets are exactly as liberal as the right-wing conservative corporations that own them.

Not me. This shit source should be banned from the community.

He probably is. Maybe if Republicans stopped cheating, lying, and behaving like abysmal, horrid monsters at every conceivable turn and using every dirty trick in the book, Democrats wouldn’t have decided that they need to fight fire with fire.

I’m not condoning this, but it is an utterly predictable outcome after decades of Democrats trying to take the high road while Republicans turn taking the low road into an art form.

Well, most of those can either run natively on Linux or have web-based clients.

• Teams works fine in a browser as long as you don’t mind some slight differences in the UI. There is also a well-maintained Electron app.
• Excel and other Office apps already work fine in the browser on Linux.
• OneDrive has unofficial clients on Linux, but you might as well just commit to accessing those files in a browser as well.
• SharePoint is already browser-based and integrated with OneDrive.

That said, CAD is definitely going to be an issue. In general, I wouldn’t recommend trying to switch all the way to Linux in a Windows-only office ecosystem. A better option if you can get permission is to dual-boot, or to run Windows in a virtual machine.

Just a reminder that it’s illegal for Trump to unilaterally impose these tariffs without congressional approval. Again. Again.

Oh good, another reminder to never spend money at Amazon again.

Oh no! Anyway…

I just can’t muster any sympathy anymore. I feel bad for their kids, but these people gleefully voted for monsters, and don’t get to act surprised when they become the monsters’ victims.

Oh, he’s reviving this bullshit again. Must be something new in the Epstein files. Or maybe he got some bad news about Iran.

Yup. The cruelty is the point.

No, see, they’re all criminals except the ones who benefit me! Those are the good ones!

“AI, please find a way out of this ‘sandboxed’ environment that isn’t actually segmented from the internet, and hack several of our competitors. Here are a bunch of tools you can use for it.”

“Okay.”

“OMG LOOK GUYS! Our AI is so amazing and scary and cool it broke out of our sandbox and hacked our competitors!”

That’s his goal. He is literally trying to break democracy itself. He is a fascist. This is a five-alarm fire.

Fuck. This is bad. He really is going to try to invalidate mail-in ballots, and that motherfucking demented monster mails in his own goddamn ballots.

A good start would be to claw back every penny paid to DOGE to gut our government, and prosecute everyone involved - yes, definitely including Musk - for the blatant violations of information-sharing laws they committed. It was downright theft of people’s personal information.

Throw these scumbags trying to break our country into prison for the rest of their lives.

If the guy has any actual desire to do good in the world, the best thing he could do now is drop out. Given his stated politics, I figured the tattoo was from when he was young and stupid, like he said, but this shit… People don’t outgrow this shit.

He needs to go.

That only works if they can keep everyone involved quiet. If he’s actually deceased, that fact is going to leak.

The only question swirling in my mind is how long they’ll Weekend at Bernie’s him before admitting the truth.
