I'm a little split on which icon theme I should complete first. Both are good IMO. The first one (picture 1) is called "Angel" and the second one is called "Forest". Both are icon themes for Cosmic DE. So I'm asking the community to air their opinion on which one to complete first.
SOLVED. Apparently there is no Tor for arm.
I am a total beginner on Fedora. How do i install Tor Browser? I don't know how to create a repo file #tor #torbrowser #linux
This is Belgrade, Serbia tonight. Well over a hundred thousand people on the streets demanding an end to Vucic and his government.
Donald Trump said Vladimir Putin asked for a meeting with him as soon as possible.
The US president-elect did not confirm whether the meeting would take place, but reiterated that ending the war in Ukraine is one of the things he wants to do “quickly.”
A U.S. Congresswoman disappeared for the last six months of her term. Nobody noticed.
Turns out she's in a memory care unit, & her staff (and apparently other people?) covered it up even though she was somehow propped up for an event [a month ago]
Yes, Trump is an authoritarian. But the specific danger he poses is the chaos caused by his lack of discipline, not a triumph of the will.
The New Republic reshared this.
Outgoing senator Joe Manchin will be succeeded by West Virginia GOP Gov. Jim Justice -- a flipped seat that will give Republicans control of the chamber, along with a GOP majority in the House.
Asked whether he’ll miss the Senate, Manchin said, “I don’t think so.”
The senator, who once famously said the chamber “sucks,” said the sentiment stands but contended the House “sucks worse.”
“Those poor guys. I feel so sorry for them over there,” Manchin said. “They can’t move. They are in dead heat.”

What Rough Beast: a new podcast about what's possible now.
Will be patient! ☺️
Episode 1 is finally out! Virginia, I needed you back for Trump II so bad. I could not have made it through Trump I without Trumpcast.
Stephen Metcalf is the PERFECT cohost to ask the deeper questions we need to ask this time around. Gallows laughter, indeed.
When will you have Jamelle Bouie on as a guest? That is my triumvirate.

After being diagnosed with a cancer that he didn’t actually have, Olson dropped out of college, moved back in with his parents and began his doctor's prescribed regimen: four straight days on chemo, four weeks off.
Olson endured this for nine years.

Call me pleasantly surprised if we do.

in reply to Wonder of Science • • •That is not just our science, but our capacity to creat, assemble and build.
The above is just as true for our society, _poverty is now fake, a _construct, built _around people. It _costs EXTRA to maintain poverty.

in reply to Wonder of Science • • •Ummm, you mathed wrong - it was 53 years apart and we are now that far along from the second now as the first was from the second.
All we have to show for it is the iPhone. Our early promise has rewarded us with good stuff - no doubt, but the scope of human progress since the moon landing is a tepid cup of tea at best by comparison.

Planes are a little safer and a little more fuel efficient. Low Earth orbit is more cluttered. Other than that, not a big change.

The missing piece was their skill as bicycle manufacturers to bring the weight of the components down.
There are stories of unthethered flight before Caley, but as the saying goes: inventor is the one who invents something last (eg. writes their method down and demonstrates use worth copying the method), not the one doing something first.

in reply to Wonder of Science • • •This reminds of something that's been on my mind lately.
During this period of rapid development of aerospace tech we believed that we'd have colonies on Mars in years. Yer shortly after the progress seemingly stalled. Problems have become more difficult.
In the recent decades we've seen similar progress, but with information tech. And it is obvious that the growth we've seen is over. All the easy problems have been solved. And the recent crypto and AI bubbles are just copium.
