The FDA was already fucking worthless. I got severe food poisoning from some grocery store pre-boiled eggs some years ago, and when I asked them to look into it to prevent other people getting sick, they just connected me with the grocery store lawyers who were just useless and defensive.
I was mostly being facetious. I haven’t tried it in decades, but I’m pretty happy with Cosmos.
KDE: With too much power comes too much responsibility. 😉
Bruce Schneier has been saying for something like 25 years that technological advances always favor attackers over defenders.
What does “too” salty mean? Is that even possible?
Please, no. We don’t need more myopia from politicians.
With no taxes on tips (if it actually happens), expect a HUGE increase in tip expectations.
Do they mean “buying” instead of “owning”?
Should I not be calling it “trans”?

I really like the tiling window support in Pop_OS!'s Cosmos desktop.
It’s the same argument I’ve heard about the “complexity” of Mastodon: too many choices, which is I guess why people largely stopped going to websites outside the major social networks. Monopoly over competition, it’s like everyone is pining for a monarchy.
If you say so.
Democrats aren’t authoritarians. It’s a bad comparison. Democrats are always fragmented, it’s virtually a defining characteristic. Post-Biden unity has been quite unusual.
The fixation is because there is no clear line of succession. If he fails, who steps in? They’ll splinter and fragment. They’ll still be deplorable, but less effective when not united behind a single authoritarian leader.
None were leftist, and only one got as far as violence.
You may be right, but it seems to me that sleeper cells need direction. Otherwise, they’ll interpret their ideology divergently. They may block progress pretty effectively, but it’ll be hard for them to make gains in a shared direction.
This is all true, but there’s not clear line of succession after Trump, so they’ll splinter. Redirecting the fervor to some new dear leader will take a long time. The Trump thralls are entirely invested in him alone.
As I’ve said elsewhere: I wonder what controls Mozilla has in place to prevent gradual takeover of their board by those with an interest in removing Firefox as a competitor. We’ve watched the sleeper cell in the Supreme Court transform that body into an illegitimate partisan puppet. Mozilla’s actions over the last few years would make much more sense if it were being manipulated into self destruction.
Yeah, that’s fair.
