Oh! Wouldn't that be a nice resolution...

Put the President and Trump on an unsafe plane and sent that bitch on a nice long flight over the ocean.

Google has a pretty big history of mass-removing unfavourable reviews as 'fake'. Especially if the involved accounts review a bunch of the same types of places; or places they're obviously not at (someone currently in Vancouver leaving reviews for places in Toronto for example).

Plus very few people actually look at a stores reviews and those that do aren't the type to buy Tesla.

Trump has been throughly wiping his ass with the constitution since the day he stepped into the whitehouse.

It's just meaningless paper until someone actually steps up and enforces it.

Fuck congestion charges; ~~your~~ Americas new King just gave himself supreme executive power over every single federal office including the ones meant to regulate him.

So, if I'm reading this correctly:

By his own decree; The President has supreme power over every single government office, and has the power to unilaterally change/create/remove all of them at will with no oversite.

Any/all federal publications or regulatory actions must be approved by the:

Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within the Executive Office of the President before publication in the Federal Register.

No oversite, no external regulatory bodies, no checks and balances; just what Trump says goes....

Ten years ago when I first tried to play a game on Linux, with no experience, I was completely lost. I spent a few hours trying to get anything to run and eventually gave up.

Last year when I fully abandoned Windows and moved to Linux; I installed Steam, clicked play on a game, and it just ran no questions asked.

Since, I've run into a few titles that claim incompatibility; but when you enable the forced use of Proton to make it compatible; it fires right up, no problem.

Now, I could likely find and use the various compatibility tools without involving Steam; but this path has required 0 effort, it just works. I haven't had to install and experiment with several packages and mess with configuration and pull my hair put after hours of failure or any of that. Just click play.

Yeah; rising heat, plus the extra insulation of neighbours sharing walls. It's uniform enough that the walls/floor doesn't feel any warmer than usual, but it makes a difference.

Are you in a house or an apartment?

I'm on the fifth floor and pretty much never have to run my heat.

Little of column A little of column B.

I use pihole on the LAN, then upstream is cloudflared translating DNS to DOH using NextDNS as the primary and Quad9 as the fallback.

Looking at the last 24hrs; my whole LAN network has made 91k DNS requests, 14.5% of that being passed to the upstream (the rest is locally cached responses or blocked) so ~12.7k served by NextDNS. When/if that 300k limit is reached, cloudflared will just fallback to Quad9.

With this I get the blocking from NextDNS as well as whatever additional lists I want to use; plus pihole serves local only records for self-hosted services and fixed names for LAN devices (I find standard broadcasted hostnames unreliable at best).

It's really nice for random browsing/apps. Games, free tools, general web browsing; none of it loads ads.

Some mobile games will even attempt to load ads, fail, then give you the reward for 'watching' the ad.

It also stops devices from phoning home to upload telemetry and blocks known malware domains. (depends on the lists you use, heres a source for some lists)

They've added a bit more info to the query log, when you click on individual items.

It's still not a native feature, but; You can add DOH using cloudflared, incl configuring which upstream(s) to use (you don't have to use cloudflare itself, just the tool).

There's even a docker version.
