Van Hollen and Booker showing how representatives in government should be working for their constituents. I hope their aim is to be as annoying as possible until something good comes of it, but I worry Bukele will just arrest them and further erode the numbers we have in Congress.

They are talking about striking in the national media, a conversation started by an Alexander-Hamilton-moderate-conservative. This is it, it has hit the mainstream media and word is getting out to the people that aren't necessarily in the 50501, and like organizations, loop.

Nearly 300 academics have applied to a French university’s offer to take in US-based researchers rattled by the American government’s crackdown on academia, as a former French president called for the creation of a “scientific refugee” status for academics in peril.

Some FOSS programs, due to being mantained by hobbyists vs a massive megacorporation with millions in funding, don't have as many features and aren't as polished as their proprietary counterparts. However, there are some FOSS programs that simply have more functionality and QoL features compared to proprietary offerings.

What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their non-FOSS alternatives? Maybe we can discover useful new programs together :D

I'll start, I think Joplin is a great note-taking app that works offline + can sync between desktop and mobile really well. Also, working with Markdown is really nice compared with rich text editors that only work with the specific program that supports it. Joplin even has a bunch of plugins to extend functionality!

Notion, Evernote, Google Keep, etc. either don't have desktop apps, doesn't work offline, does not support Markdown, or a combination of those three.

What are some other really nice FOSS programs?

edit: woah that’s a whole load of cool FOSS software I have to try out! So far my experiences have been great (ShareX in particular is AWESOME as a screenshot tool, it’s what snip and sketch wishes it could be and mostly replaces OBS for my use case and a whole lot more)

Summary

Gary Shapley, best known for blowing the whistle on Hunter Biden, was forced out as acting commissioner of the IRS after just 72 hours.

Sources said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent “complained” to Donald Trump that Shapley was “installed without his knowledge” and “at the behest of billionaire Elon Musk.”

Bessent claimed Musk and his DOGE acolytes had “done an end run around him.”

The Times does not list any specific actions that led to him getting sacked. Shapley will remain at the IRS as a senior official in its criminal investigation division.

Is it only ornamental? And why are they usually webbed feet (or at least they are in my experience)?

Fancy cupcakes are 70% icing, really not that nice and a waste of money

This is both upsetting and sad.

What's sad is that I spend about $200/month on professional therapy, which is on the low end. Not everyone has those resources. So I understand where they're coming from.

What's upsetting is that this user TRUSTED ChatGPT to follow through on the advice without critically challenging it.

Even more upsetting is this user admitted to their mistake. I guarantee you that there are thousands like OP who wasn't brave enough to admit it, and are probably to this day, still using ChatGPT as a support system.
