IMO this doesn’t pass the smell test for average joes, especially with wildfires increasing in frequency

Very interesting seeing how Pete Hegseth’s philosophy of “maximum lethality” ran its course, and yet…

• Iran has come out the other side with more leverage despite taking big losses
• Trump is desperate to end his (illegally started) war
• Conservatives like Tucker Carlson have turned on him for his statement on Easter and calls for genocide

Seems like a complete miss. I’m reminded of this recent Atlantic article…

Donald Trump does not think strategically. Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places. He does not consider the wider implications of his decisions. He does not take responsibility when these decisions go wrong. Instead, he acts on whim and impulse, and when he changes his mind—when he feels new whims and new impulses—he simply lies about whatever he said or did before.

The ingenuity and innovation required to make space travel possible (and efficient) is remarkable. Definitely falls into the category of “it’s not the destination, it’s the journey.” It’s important to continue challenging ourselves as a species.

People live in places that are pleasant. It’s why Silicon Valley billionaires threatening to leave California over the proposed wealth tax is ridiculous. It would take decades to move the industry and talent pool out of there. Plus the tax is based on where they lived on Jan. 1, 2026, so they’re already on the hook.

There’s also often a conflict of interest between the video’s subject matter and what classes they’re selling

Fireship is owned by private equity if you didn’t know

With green card holders actively being targeted now and birth rates low, we can expect U.S. population growth to dry up. This has a ton of negative economic impacts that will be felt long after Trump is dead. And it’s liable to be exacerbated by severed international relationships and an increase in movement away from U.S. companies

Any docs/guides for that?

Yes, it was soft rebooted for S6-7 because of a major event at the end of S5. About half the cast turned over, though they return for appearances. Ending was pretty satisfying, didn’t feel too forced. The DVD box set is pretty nice, though I don’t have a lot of those to compare against

The Mentalist (2008-2015)

Top games: Maze Mice, Inscryption, Slots & Daggers, Megabonk, Is This Seat Taken?

I have all my games on my SD card and still filled up the 64 GB internal storage. Yes you read that right. I guess shaders have to go on it (and OS)

Perhaps Teams has changed, but in the past I personally found it more efficient for text communication because it forced everything to be a thread. With Slack there’s too much variety (messages & threads in channels, direct messages, huddles, canvases) which consistently leads to visibility and findability issues since everyone uses it differently. Though I understand technically they’re very similar and the emphasis is mostly visual

Hey! To clarify the maintainer appears to have split their own development. The Play Store is receiving updates and new features that F-Droid is not getting. Can’t say I’m a fan of this

Yes, I used to use it! Good launcher, but not minimalist as outlined in a different comment

Ding ding ding I think this is the answer

Edit: It looks like this is functionally a paid app. You have to pay to get more icons on your home screen, which is pretty ridiculous. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind paying for apps. But it’s not worth $75 in my opinion

Heh, a little too minimalist for me! But thanks for sharing

I tried it out. Seems like a nice one and does have backup & restore! But it’s not minimalist as described above. I didn’t see an option to hide app icons

Tried these ones: Olauncher, Oasis, minimalist phone, Indistract, Minimalist Launcher, Productivity Launcher

I think it’s a relatively defined launcher category at this point. Typically they’re monochrome and text-based. Often have features to limit notifications and track phone usage
