Pete Hegseth probably blocked aid on his own authority without asking President Trump first. This is a correction of that decision. Unfortunately, Trump prizes loyalty even above being in sync on policy issues.

Exactly.

We will know late August, when the CCP meets and the shakeup is supposedly going to take place. IMO, the time between now and then is dangerous as Xi might make an extreme act to hold on to power.

Will a .onion site work for you instead? No registration, no cost, and easy to self-host.

The Chinese government is paying huge incentives for every car sold. This is their way of gaming the system to subsidize their industry and undercut non-Chinese auto makers.

If they moved the nuclear enrichment, that would have destroyed the process too. No way to keep the centrifuges spinning at a constant rate while moving them.

I’m testing this app now, just between me and my wife before we give it to the kids. Right now we can only send location updates when we open the app. I’ve tried all the typical things (background battery, always on GPS permissions, etc) without luck. Suggestions? Did you get it to work well for you?

Presumably it is to discourage Iran from attacking US assets in the region, knowing that the US have weapons that they can use to counter-attack. Any counter-attack needs to be against Israel alone, not the US. That’s what the US wants.

My payroll company came out with a be version that won’t work in Linux. They wouldn’t accommodate me and I was too deep into their ecosystem to change companies so I ended up having to buy a Windows license so I could run a virtual machine every time I had to do payroll.

Edit: My mistake was getting too dependent on a company that doesn’t care about Linux users.

Not this far from the front lines. This was in the Russian rear.

The roots were more substantial. The political leadership in Moscow took offense when their religious leaders in Kiev (Kiev was the religious capital of their brand of Orthodoxy) went to the Council of Florence and agreed to union with the Catholic Church. Corrupt secular leadership in Moscow feared accountability to anyone so they deposed the Metropolitan (a type of bishop) of Kiev and then ordered the bishops of Moscow to elect their own patriarch. That’s how it got started. And the Russian Orthodox are insane. Many go so far as to say that the Catholic Church has no valid sacraments at all. They frequently get in the way of restoration of union between Rome and other Eastern Orthodox but I feel like we’ve hit a break point where others in the east have had enough. It is time to say “NO” to Moscow. Your political organization masquerading as a religion has done enough harm. Go to the pits of hell where you belong.

The Russian Orthodox are in schism from most other Orthodox. You’ll need to get more information to get an answer to that question.

Russian Orthodoxy was established from it’s foundation as a fake religion that exists to keep political power in Moscow. This is very different from other Orthodox.

The article needed translation: “Please don’t invade me.”

Immigration that supports his party politics. Same as Orban.

Soldiers for more war in Libya. They won’t have a say, it’ll be mandatory.

How much of the VPN market goes away after enforcing this law?

Even with tests, don’t most universities have library computers or a computer lab that’ll suffice instead of using your personal Linux machine?

Can I be anti-everyone involved?

I feel like this was an ELI5 moment.

Just because nobody’s mentioned them yet and they are worth trying out: Solus & Void. Both are independent and rolling distributions.
