I just installed Ubuntu on my mom's laptop. I also considered Mint, but Ubuntu seems to me to be the distribution with the least risk of any major issues.

Either way, the point was to finally get away from Windows, especially since my mom doesn't use any applications for which there isn't a reliable Linux alternative anyway.

Donations to LibreOffice and so on have also been transferred - in the amount of the license costs for Windows 11 and MS Office for now.

Denke, ihm dient die Wiederwahl als Parteivorsitzender und damit die direkte Regierungsbeteiligung eher als Sprungbrett in einen gut bezahlten Aufsichtsratsposten oder eine ähnliche, bestens dotierte "Anschlussverwertung" - da ist Finanzminister und Vizekanzler in einer neoliberalen Koalition um einen Kanzler, der mehr Lobbyist als Volksvertreter ist, doch genau das richtige.

Glaube kaum, dass sich ein ausgemachter Opportunist wie Klingbeil mit einer schnöden Pension zufrieden geben wird. Wenn es ihm auch nur im Entferntesten um seine Partei gehen würde, hätte er nach der vorausgegangenen, katastrophalen Wahlniederlage selbstverständlich seinen Posten räumen müssen.

Hat er aber nicht und so schafft sich die SPD nun eben selbst ab, um die Karriere der verbliebenen "Schein-Genossen" zu befördern.

Dass Lars Klingbeil nach dem mit Abstand schlechtesten Wahlergebnis, das die SPD jemals hatte, weder zurückgetretenen ist noch abgesetzt wurde, sagt eigentlich schon alles, was man wissen muss...

Has the Dow fallen enough now for the DOJ to start prosecuting pedophiles?

/s, but in itself almost not, because Bondi apparently was serious about her absurd statement in front of the the House Judiciary Committee.

I think the problem these people face is more about how to implement the directive to funnel most of this absurd supplementary budget directly into the pockets of a few, preferably conservative, cronies of this criminal regime...

The Drifters ("Under the Boardwalk," "Save the Last Dance for Me," "This Magic Moment") have been more of a product than a band since the mid-1950s, when manager George Treadwell bought the name. Since then, there have been several incarnations of the Drifters with different lineups, and at times, different lineups have toured under the name at the same time.

The Drifters had three "golden" periods: the early 1950s, the 1960s, and the early 1970s (after the Atlantic label period).

The lineup included more than 60 musicians in total. Nevertheless, the band is in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame - with different lineups:

The first lineup (founded by Clyde McPhatter) and the second lineup (with Ben E. King) were inducted separately into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame - once as "The Drifters" and once as "Ben E. King and the Drifters."

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee package includes members from several incarnations: four from the first lineup (Clyde McPhatter, Bill Pinkney, Gerhart Thrasher, Johnny Moore), two from the second (Ben E. King, Charlie Thomas), and one from the post-Atlantic phase (Rudy Lewis).

The German philosopher Hannah Arendt asked herself a very similar question when, during the trial of Nazi official and war criminal Adolf Eichmann, she attempted to understand how a human being could be capable of such monstrous atrocities. In this context, she coined the expression "banality of evil."

It is worth taking a look at her book "Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil," because her observations in it are, unfortunately, once again highly relevant today.
