If only. The local government’s got a lawsuit coming. The sheriff himself may be slightly inconvenienced.

Pearl River Police Chief Jack Sessions watched the demonstrations along with around a dozen other law enforcement officers, including some in tactical gear with binoculars, who observed from nearby gas stations’ rooftops.

“We stand for the First Amendment. We don’t have a problem with that,” Sessions said, looking out at the crowd. “As long as you stay civil,” he added.

Tactical gear to deal with 30 peaceful protesters holding signs and a police chief deciding what people are allowed to say. I guarantee all the Maga trucks sporting “Fuck Biden” bumper stickers were just given a nod of approval.

We live in a fascist country.

[But Tulsi Gabbard] rather than allowing NSA officials to distribute the information further, she took a paper copy of the intelligence directly to the president’s chief of staff

Simple explanation: One Russian asset, Tulsi Gabbard, is warning Trump, a Putin stooge and Russian asset, that the NSA is detecting their activity. Everyone in this administration should be charged with espionage.

I haven’t tried to set it up, but It looks like Tidal Connect is alive again and there are several ways to use on Linux, including WINE. When my Spotify subscription runs out I’m going to give it a try.

Clearly another attempt from the child rapist to distract from the Epstein files.

I looked at a tital a year or so ago and it wouldn’t work for me. Will look again, maybe they’ve improved it.

My “Made for You” has occasional popular artists but most of the songs are from people who are relatively unknown. The only way I listened to a podcast is if I clicked on one by accident.

Good. I hope he is made unwelcome everywhere he goes for the rest of his life.

Even the Spotify shuffle feature is built to maximize profits and to hell with the user experience.

I have almost 2 thousand songs on one playlist and Spotify plays the songs from minor artists (who don’t get paid much) constantly, while songs from major artists (who get paid a lot more) are never played. I’m actually surprised to hear those songs when shuffle is turned off.

They’ve also recently added “Video Episodes for You” to my home screen with no way to turn it off. It takes up 1/3 of the screen with helpful titles like “Session 105, Hillory Duff”, and “Reinvent Life from Rock Bottom and Become Unrecognizable.” I have never watched a video or listened to a podcast on Spotify.

When it comes to enshittification Spotify’s got it down.

Maybe someday one of the other music services will create something like Spotify Connect.

When ICE can murder people on the street, why would this be a problem?

Never forget who this Nazi is.

Huge price increases across the board due to Trump’s tariffs, massive number of DOGE firings and resignations, skyrocketing medical expense and insurance costs, food prices and electric rates. An extended government shutdown, sudden defunding of multiple government programs, a huge reduction in food assistance, firing of scientists and researchers.

Who could have imagined the child rapist’s policies would have any impact on the economy?

We haven’t even begun to see what kind of recession/depression Trump has already caused.

In the past few months our electric rates went up 14.5%, our heath care costs more than tripled, and grocery and necessities prices have shot way up.

Guess what we’re cutting back on? The kind of stuff Amazon sells.

We’re just starting to see the Trump economy.

You mean like denying Due Process?

I have both running right now. Mint on my laptop and media server. Debian only because it was previously required for Home Assistant support, (support which they’ve now dropped.)

Both distros are extraordinarily reliable, but I much prefer Mint. Debian is more focused on security and some of the design choices focus on that over usability. My LAN is completely locked down and only accessible via Wireguard and the physical systems are only accessible to me, so IDK how much better security it provides in my situation. Mint has every package I’ve ever needed prebuilt while I have had to build some packages for Debian.

Bottom line: As much as I like Mint, for me there is not sufficient reason to switch from Debian to Mint or visa-versa, but if I were installing from scratch I’d choose Mint every time.

Le said that the government was “overwhelmed” by the legal challenges to Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota, and that trying to get ICE to comply with court orders has required nonstop work for an office depleted by resignations.

Exactly the child rapist’s intent.

Pedophile’s Pack, Rapist’s Rabble.

Probably is an accurately limit as you say.

I just looked and my LG washer pulls 7 watts when not powered on and my Onkyo receiver pulls 2 watts in standby. I save a whopping $19 dollars a year by powering off the washer completely via automation when it’s not in use. Not much, but better in my pocket than the electric company’s. (I have a sensor on the laundry room door that turns the washer plug on when the door’s opened.)

You could work around it by sending an immediate notification when the washer starts. If you don’t get one you know your washer’s messing with you again.

Edit: Just looked again and after a few minutes the washer’s down to 10MA in standby. Power button on pushes it to 7W. Not saving any electricity after all, but hopefully the washer will last a bit bit longer if it’s powered completely off between uses.

idle wattage is measured as 0.0

That’s odd. I have multiple Third Reality smart plugs and they measure at least a couple of watts of standby power for everything that has a power button.

Not to be that guy, but I can’t see this ever holding up or getting approved in the first place.

Agreed, but the GOP’s ICE Gestapo doesn’t give a fuck about the legality of their actions. It’s time to put some serious roadblocks in their way and force them to fight it out in the courts with the Due Process they routinely deny everyone else. At the very least it should send a chill up their spines.
