Don’t think it’s intentional. It’s challenging to try to take a better picture of a bag of shit

Seconded for manjaro. It’s the only distro I tried recently (fedora, endeavor, Ubuntu, opensuse) that got the Nvidia drivers correct right away without any trouble. Solid distro

A few years ago, I devoured the Ascendant series by K Arsenault Rivera. Basically a soft magic universe based on Mongolian and Chinese mysticism set in a different world, but the parallels are pretty obvious. The main focus is the sapphic romance between the two leads, but It does a good job of mixing world building, epic battles and military maneuvers, demons and magic, and relationships. I highly recommend it.

AP is now reporting gas canisters and fireworks were stuffed in truck. I still feel like waiting for evidence instead of reacting is a good lesson to take from the explosion expert. We are going to have A LOT of events like this in 2025 with a fascist actively encouraging stochastic terrorism in charge. We need to find a way to understand in a way that won’t drive us insane.

I asked a retired EOD mate and he kinda shrugged and said not to trust any of the knee jerk takes until a forensics team has had a chance to investigate. Explosions happen faster than your eyes can see and anything at this point is just a guess.

‘Terrorist’ is a label only for crimes that do not give the ruling class a hard on.

I found it interesting that people are filming a bright, glowing thing seemingly intentionally designed to be visible at night and think, “SPY drone.”
