"Economically devastating" seems to be the plan nationwide. Tariffs, protectionism, shrinking the population by deporting working people, persecuting the educated and defunding education... None of this fascist stuff will do anything but drive the country into greater misery and poverty.

Dropbox is better value and faster, in my experience, than these others. And when it backs up photos, it doesn't hold them hostage on its servers so you have to keep paying or you lose access to them, unlike Google at least. Nor does it try to trick you into saving files to it when you don't want to, so you fill up your quotas and end up paying more, like OneDrive. I still think Dropbox is the best of the bunch. It will be a shame to see it go to shit.

Just another instance of US politics leaking over to Canada a few months later.

The car was pushing the fast asleep (at the wheel) agenda.

It depends what kind of Christianity you're dealing with. Where I live, most of the churches have rainbow flags on display with "everyone's welcome here" messages and lost of leftish liberals with fairly progressive views. Some even put pro-LGBTQ+ messages on their signs that call people out for bigotry. But Liberty University isn't that kind of Christianity.

Ah shit. A broken clock is right twice a day. Still not worth it.

I had to read the article just to be able to parse the headline.

the development/testing is done on Windows under VMs rather than a sample of real world hardware

And yet there's a recent update that keeps killing my Windows VMs. They'll run for a while then one day they install the update and won't boot again. It really feels like MS have lost control of Windows testing these days.

Not just luck. You also need a willingness to fuck people over, again and again. But it could be any lucky asshole.

As far as I can see, the article doesn't misrepresent this law. It says that anyone has standing to sue a trans person for using a gender-appropriate bathroom, and the damages of at least $10,000 would be awarded if the trans person lost the lawsuit. Normally, as I understand it, you wouldn't have standing unless someone's activity had provably harmed you, but by waiving this the door is open for the trans person's use of a bathroom to be judged harmful in itself. So, a bounty on trans people.

harmful to trans people.

And there's the true intent of the Republican legislators.

When voters are asked whether they are more inclined to support a candidate who backs transgender rights or one who opposes them, voters overwhelmingly choose the candidate in favor of transgender rights, by a margin of 21 points. This trend holds true among Independents, with a 19-point preference. Even 22% of Republicans indicate they are more likely to support a candidate who favors trans rights—a significantly higher percentage than the share of Democrats who would back a candidate opposing them.

Furthermore, voters showed frustration with the wave of anti-trans advertisements. When asked if they thought political attack ads against the transgender community have gotten mean spirited and out of hand, far more voters agree than disagree (+28 points). This finding holds true for independents (+23 points) as well, with even 31% of Republicans finding that there were too many political attack ads.

Those operatives, in turn, secretly employed the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians running for Congress and the White House, a ProPublica investigation has found.

The clandestine sharing of gun buyers’ identities — without their knowledge and consent — marked a significant departure for an industry that has long prided itself on thwarting efforts to track who owns firearms in America.

At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington, Marlin and Mossberg, handed over names, addresses and other private data to the gun industry’s chief lobbying group, the National Shooting Sports Foundation. The NSSF then entered the gun owners’ details into what would become a massive database.
