The firearms industry routes guns through the U.S. to Mexico, the rest of Central America, and South America. This contributes directly to people from those countries fleeing gun violence there and seeking asylum in the U.S. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2024/12…

in reply to Heidi Li Feldman

Actually it was the Obama administration that did that during Fast and Furious. The firearms industry does not control where they go once they have been legally sold to an American. Yes there ought to be more action against obvious straw buyers, but that is at the level of individual dealers.


I am trying to do some work from the motorhome for TROM and WebApe...I eat GB like a blue whale eats plankton. :D - I've put 100GB on my phone, using it as a hotspot. I have 50GB left now. After a few days...

This is why when we come back in January and start to live full time in the motorhome we will probably put a satellite internet with an unlimited plan. Mobile plans suck - only available per tribe....and in Europe, living in a motorhome, makes 0 sense.

We've also ordered 260W more of solar panels. We already have 260W on the roof that we put ourselves. Plus a new 1280W lifepo4 lithium battery. We decided to have enough power and be fully broke. It is what it is.

But feels great to get back online bit by bit. Doing my "normal" work. And doing it from here:

Another day, another Microsoft scandal #fuckmicrosoft #linux


Maybe fun to know - using #MS365 means that the US government has bulk access to your data, which matters if you are a government yourself. Supporters of Microsoft will tell you you can easily use "double key encryption" to protect your MS365 data against US government snooping. This is how easily you can do that. Hint, it involves GitHub and compiling code: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purv…



#NerdQuestion: how do I edit root files with #Kate on #OpenSuse? Yea, yea, I know: #vi and #vim. But we all also know the joke about the random text generator. In #Manjaro you simply edit the file in kate and it asks you for password on save. I would be delighted to replicate this behaviour on #Susie.
