I honestly don't know what's going on there. The sole mod and contributor of the community keeps posting low quality shit purely to bash on Linux and people kept calling him out in the posts and getting banned from the comm for that.

Now I noticed the same mod has just locked comments on all posts to prevent having to ban anyone commenting on their memes

Summary

TikTok plans to shut down its U.S. operations by January 19 unless the Supreme Court blocks a new law requiring its sale by Chinese parent company ByteDance.

The law, defended by the Biden administration as a national security measure, has been challenged by TikTok, ByteDance, and users as a violation of free speech.

The court, facing pressure from Trump to delay a decision, will hear arguments just days before the law's implementation.

A shutdown could cost TikTok millions of users and ad revenue, with a ruling expected soon.

This is a bit of frustration post. I'm not a professional and some stuff is super confusing. And it might not even be programming only, as this seems to be a general issue when it comes to signing and security in computers. Every time I have to reinstall my operating system (its really only a few times in a decade), one of the things i fear most is signing into Github, signing keys and setting up local git on my Linux machine. I want the verified badge. Every time its a fight in understanding and doing the right steps, creating gpg keys and access tokens and such.

Am I the only one who struggles with this? Right now I have set it up and my test repository has the badge again. Do people care about this? Especially people like me who does a few little CLI and scripts and nothing else. Am I doing enterprise level security for the sake of an icon or is this really more secure? I do not have ANY professional background. As said I seem to have setup correctly now, so this is not asking for troubleshooting. Just wanted hear about your opinion and experience, and if any of you care.

Summary

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) will be the first Democrat to meet with Donald Trump post-election, traveling to Mar-a-Lago.

The meeting reflects Fetterman’s growing willingness to collaborate with Trump, whom he praised as a “singular political talent.”

While emphasizing his commitment to representing all Pennsylvanians, Fetterman has supported some Trump policies and nominees.

Once a progressive icon, Fetterman has shifted to a more bipartisan approach, drawing criticism from Democrats while rejecting divisive rhetoric, including Vice President Harris’s labeling of Trump as a “fascist.”

The shiny puddles look like some low-temp metal melted and oozed out of the car as it burned. I wonder what part(s) melted, and what type of metal it is?

Bonjour, je suis sur le point d'introduire les services fédérés à ma famille et parenté et j'aimerais leur montrer ce qu'il y a de disponible chez nous. Mais on dirait que tout ce qui est lié à fedi.quebec est hors service. Est-ce que c'est juste moi?

Sociopath greedy fucks fucked by their own sociopathic greed pushing tech explicitly hyped to cause mass unemployment. You first, finance bros! Welcome to the "capitalist efficiency" games you were so fond of running 🤣

Turns out you made a career out of felating oligarch dick, expecting romance, but they'd rather keep your class traitor salary and kick you to the curb. Guess you chose to keep poor company.
