Assuming Trump is the turkey in this instance.

This is probably more valid than some think. Trump and his cronies are a clear threat to the country and must be eliminated before the damage is done.

You're right. The sentiment more comes from the power the USA weilds globally vs the massive responsibility the population don't seem to realise they have. If anything, the dumb motherfuckers will be the countries that keep allowing the USA to have this power while clearly the population - and by extension the new president - don't take this responsibility seriously.

I'm lucky. I don't live in Palestine or Ukraine, both of which are all but guaranteed to be fed to the wolves. It's heartbreaking to watch the complacency of a population who think the price of eggs is worth more than thousands of people's lives. But here we are.. and we're angry.

I have to say when I watched the debate whilst Kamala herself impressed me, nothing she said felt very inspirational. I thought it was pretty clear what big picture items the base wanted and all she could come up with was a payment to new families and help for small business. This is good and all, but not the larger national and foreign policy announcements people wanted.

Not sure why you got downvoted. By the time you find out what they're going to do to you, it's too late. First comes the list, then the borders close, then you're stuffed.

Perhaps not "take him out", but I do hope Biden finally grows a pair and goes scorched earth on Trump by generally using the supreme court ruling to make life as difficult as possible for him, for example releasing all the Epstein files. I'm so sick of the Democrats continuing to think they can use reason and the moral highground while fighting a opponent who punches below the belt. Get down and fight dirty for once!

Boy are you in for a shock when you hear about Project 2025. This stuff is straight out of their playbook, with more to come.

You dumb, dumb motherfuckers.

AI being pumped into everything. It drives me absolutely nuts that every fucking thing has to have AI. Now you can buy a laptop that uses AI to write an email, just so the receiver can use AI to summarise it. We're going to start using computers to develop enormous amounts of crap before we finally realise that putting the effort into writing, reading, drawing, designing etc. is actually worthwhile. Don't get me wrong, I see several use cases for AI where it's very good, and studied genetic algorithms at uni (i.e. software that can rewrite itself given feedback on its output), but what is being pushed on us now will just encourage laziness and ultimately be a detriment to humans in general.

I get so tired of these headlines that are basically "Authority figure says obvious thing". Like, yeah, and so do most other people, thanks for the update.

I feel that divergence is what made DS9 so good. Instead of travelling around exploring aliens, we're stationary exploring ourselves and our politics. It was a great idea to make a show about a completely different aspect of Starfleet life. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the last great idea they had.

I am absolutely sick of Windoze and I'm trying out Linux Mint for my work computer. This has been a bit of a learning curve but I have almost everything working the way I want... but the sticking point is my company uses Dropbox for all file sharing and repository.

I first naively installed Dropbox from the Software Installer but that tried to sync the entire company (many TBs) to my computer. It seems there is no Smart Sync option.

Next I installed Rclone and logged in using that, but it seems to be completely command line based which is absolutely useless. There is no way I'm going to sit here typing out full directory paths and file names every time I need to access something (which is always). I then installed RcloneBrowser, and later the Rclone web GUI, however they BOTH skip the parent folder and put me directly one level down, which is also useless.

Ok I know what you're thinking. I need to create an alias, right? So I did, and my config file now has the lines

[DB]

type = alias

remote = Dropbox:/

but this makes no difference in the web GUI or RcloneBrowser! The frustrating thing is if I use the command line the results I get are:

rclone lsd Dropbox:/ parent directory. Good so far...

rclone lsd DB: parent directory! Yay! So why doesn't this work on either GUI???

If I can't get this to work then I will have to get rid of Linux unfortunately. I can see in many forums I am not the first to have massive issues with Dropbox, but it seems the alias approach works for everyone else. What am I doing wrong?

 

Apart from Australia getting completely ripped off, I am wondering if anyone had any insight into why they're paying almost $500 million for an aircraft that is worth about a fifth of that amount. This has got to be a continuation of the hilarious AUKUS joke that's been played on them, correct?
