I completely agree. Unless Google is forced to install more than one app store by default, or forced to have multiple app stores downloadable on Play Store, three is no realistic way to install a third party app store on a phone. In both cases, Google’s cooperation is required.
the man […] had called on French people to seek out and shoot people of foreign origin.
This happened near Fréjus, on the Cóte d’Azur, one of the most touristy places on the planet. It’s crawling with Brits and Americans and Germans and Poles and any place far and wide. But of course, to a diseased mind like this man’s, it’s only “foreign” if it is the particular shade of skin he doesn’t like: Middle-Eastern.
UBS Group AG analysts said in a recent note that investors’ shift away from US assets will channel €1.2 trillion ($1.4 trillion) into Europe’s stock market over the next five years.
I have a sense American oligarchs will regret their support of this administration for a very, very long time
It’s so weird that we have to go through hoops and loops to get rid of this stuff! I was sick of my Android responding to a long press of the power button, meant to shut it down, with a Gemini prompt. Took me an hour to figure out I can’t get rid of the function, but I can switch back (for now) to old style Google Assistant.
If you have to force functionality down your users’ throat despite them not wanting it, you already lost. Gemini is Google’s Clippy, just less iconic and more also-ran.
If you get within earshot of a Republican, chances are you’ll hear complaints about “damn taxes” within five minutes. So to a certain set of people, definitely everyone they talk to is constantly complaining about taxes.
When I was starting out and making little money, the taxes I paid were definitely cutting into my ability to live. I think instead of “standard deductions” we should have real minimum incomes. If you are under the minimum income for your location, you don’t pay taxes.
Now that I am at the end of my career, I think it’s stupid that my taxes are not higher. If I could have given young me some of the money I am keeping now, I would have had a much better life overall. I obviously can’t do that now, but I can give someone else the same breathing room.
I used to have a Canon Pixma, and the SANE drivers recognized it and scanned from it with no issues, down to the ADF feeder. It was really surprisingly simple, zero setup configuration.
I basically just used the preinstalled software, Skanlite, and it showed with the scanner pre-selected and ready to go.
Of course, YMMV.
Purdue Pharma and the entire Sackler family. I’ve witnessed so many horrible things done by Oxycontin-addicted people; knowing that history, I want to puke my guts out.

It’s sort of ironic that the one thing countries used to be most adamant about had to have their sovereign stamp of approval, national defense, is the one where the UK seems to be most accepting of joint efforts.
At this point, it feels like anyone who gives up something of value for a deal with this administration is just cruisin’ for a bruisin’.
Great summary! That’s basically what they say. On both ballistic missiles and drones, Europe is nowhere near being able to shut down a major attack.
Of course, Europe under attack would not respond with the same forced restraint as Ukraine, that for the longest time wasn’t allowed to strike within Russia.
The amount of trade between EU countries forces them to have an equalized exchange rate. That has been true since long before the Euro was even implemented, and the constant pressure on a particular currency that had a hard time keeping the fixed exchange rate frequently brought turmoil. If you don’t believe me, just look up Black Wednesday 1992.
The Euro is just the financial manifestation of that forced equalization. A manifestation that gives consumers greater price transparency in cross border dealings. If it really had had a major role in the rise of the far right, countries that use the Euro would have seen a greater rise than those that do not, and that really doesn’t seem to be the case.
I think that’s what the Cybertruck is for, to appeal to Conservatives. I live on the edge between blue and red counties, and down in red territory the Cybertrucks are everywhere. (Meaning I saw at least four different ones.)
The field separator is declared to be the colon, with -F:, so the fields end and start at colons.
