And never this sweeping: like when Japanese car manufacturers were threatening Detroit, the president negotiated with Congress and the response was targeted, not a random shotgun on other countries and industries.
True. I have not ordered a single product from the Heard Island and McDonald Islands since the tariffs were levied on them. I am champing at the bit for these to be reduced.
Haha, but every coffee, tea, snd chocolate provider I buy from has announced their prices going up and it’s not like there’s an American industry those taxes are supporting. Hawaii doesn’t have enough land to grow even a fraction of our domestic coffee consumption.
Yes: that’s kind of a textbook example of using tariffs strategically — there’s a valid argument that automobiles are a strategic industry worth protecting (just for military capacity alone) but they didn’t threaten to heavily tax coffee and chocolate from other continents at the same time or under the pretense that it would make those crops viable in the United States at scale.
I get ~weekly crashes using an Nvidia card with arch/hyprland, but honestly it's less problematic for me to deal with than windows updates. I can format and rebuild my machine from scratch in less time than windows takes to download and perform an update.
Flawless experience on non-nvidia hardware though.
That's why I keep using Gentoo and X11 to handle my three GPU setup. An Intel iGPU, an AMD dGPU on the same package as the Intel CPU and a RTX 4060 Ti eGPU connected through Thunderbolt.
Only have issues with it on my machine with an Nvidia card. Understand that it can be unstable and accept that when it happens - but with AMD/integrated graphics I don't have the same problem.
Either way, only serves to further the point that Linux is in a pretty good place and the experience should only be better on more stable options.
I don't have that problem with Arch+COSMIC, which has the tiling you get with Hyprland but without the overly complex configuration. You can also switch to floating windows with one button if needed.
It's genuinely gross what US/Israel is doing by co-opting real grievances against the Iranian government to push their own puppet to lord over Iran.
> "You have a very strong prime minister in Israel who is clearly on our side. I think that [US President Donald] Trump, unlike his predecessor, is definitely on a different path vis-à-vis what’s happening in Iran today. And you have Marco Rubio at the State Department. I believe he’s perhaps the first secretary of state ever since the Iranian revolution who truly gets it," Pahlavi said, praising the political echelons in both Jerusalem and Washington.
During the BLM protests, plain clothes DHS officers were kidnapping people from the streets.
During the Philadelphia MOVE movement, the cops bombed a block of houses.
I can keep picking examples like this. Would these examples mean that the American government is at risk of lynching by Americans? Would you say it should be given the atrocities America has done towards its own people?
I respect your point of view, but as was mentioned earlier, most governments will try to prevent its premature end. Whether or not any government, US, or otherwise, will live or die will depend on who is running the government, and the collective, elected, will of their people. Just like your opinion, mine is based on sources of news that bombard me on a daily 24/7 basis.
Let's be clear, the US is a Republic, not a Democracy. Just like you, I too, can keep picking examples, but if you want to go deeper into Maduro and Venezuela, this story may shed some light on certain unknowns that don't usually make the news rounds, but again all depends on your believes:

AFK: Becoming dangerous here @ Null Island (0°N, 0°E).
The Alpha's engines are finding it hard to fight the currents at this depth :(
Takes too long and too much effort to figure out which men are rapists and which aren't. Time to forget about due process and just assume they'e all the "worst of the worst".
I'm happy Airvpn is rarely mentioned in mainstream vpn lists and don't typically mention them myself (sorry airvpn folks, but here's my apology) because I suspect its relative obscurity is in great part the reason it works so well. Not only reputation - it's technologically good too, supports all the payment methods, good prices, lots of exit points, no nonsense. I've been using them continuously for several years.
> Funny that we’re using this example when the ICC has issued a warrant against someone who isn’t the US head of state
The ICC seems to have no problem issuing arrest warrants for government leaders of countries allied with the US involved in conflicts located in territories where there are no fully UN recognized State Parties to the Rome Statue. Additionally the ICC has ongoing investigations into US personnel directly. The ICC has arguably given the US sufficient justification for some form of retaliation(i.e. sanctions) for jurisdictional overreach.
> If roots rotate often then we build the muscle of making sure trust bundles can be updated
Five years is not enough incentive to push this change. A TV manufacturer can simply shrug and claim that the device is not under warranty anymore. We'll only end up with more bricked devices.
> 1. These might need to happen as emergencies if something bad happens
Isn't this the whole point of intermediate certificates, though?
You know, all the CA's online systems only having an intermediate certificate (and even then, keeping it in a HSM) and the CA's root only being used for 20 seconds or so every year to update the intermediate certificates? And the rest of the time being locked up safer than Fort Knox?
The thing is even the most secure facilities need ingress and egress points.
Those are weaknesses. It’s also that a root rotation might be needed for completely stupid vulnerabilities. Like years later finding that specific key was generated incorrectly.
