Bankman won't be Fried

I agree with your comment generally, but note that Dell's $699 competitor they announced this week has has a slightly larger screen than the Neo with similar resolution and brightness but better color coverage.

Any site I visit regularly gets a user stylesheet via Stylus that I use to hide anything like this.

Thanks for the tip! I've never heard of Stylus, but am checking it out.

I can't imagine browsing the web without user stylesheets. (I guess I can, but I don't want to.)

I know that if you want `fd` (https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) you need to `apt install fd-find` and which installs the binary `fdfind` (!).

Hearing this in the news reminded me of William Langewiesche's great piece in vanity fair about the cause: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/business/2014/10/air-france-...

That piece is an insightful pairing with season 2 of HBO’s “The Rehearsal”.

Sustainable means those sources of income will continue, not that they are positive for users.

There's plenty of legal gambling in Minnesota. To quote the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library it includes

"horse racing, a card club at Canterbury Park, Indian tribal casinos, charitable gambling, and a state lottery."

(https://www.lrl.mn.gov/guides/guides?issue=gambling)

There might be a couple more, but there is far less legal gambling in MN than anywhere else I've been in the US (though I have not been everywhere in the past 5 years, and I assume laws have changed enough to ignore experience older than that).

Indian tribal casinos are only legal because they are in a separate country as far as the state is concerned. (they don't bother, but each reservation has a good case to join the UN if they wanted to)

A case for it, maybe, but I think the way you've worded this is a bit of an exaggeration. As you said, they're separate as far as the state is concerned, in some respects (even that's somewhat case-by-case and debatable). Comparatively, it's much more generally recognized that federal law does apply to tribes. The US calls tribes "domestic dependent nations," which is short of independent sovereignty, and the UN would generally only admit members who are recognized as independent and sovereign. Native American tribes are "separate countries" like states are separate countries-- in principle, kind of, but in practice, not really anymore. Individual states can work with UN bodies on projects (like California recently joining the UN health network), but they can't be admitted as members.

All of that said, gambling is, of course, a very well-known thing that's allowed to happen on tribal lands.

Excluding tribal casinos like Mystic and Grand Casino, MN has Canterbury, Running Aces, bingo, pull tabs, and the state lottery. Horse racing and poker rooms at Canterbury and Running Aces, IIRC no limit betting is not allowed in poker.

Tribal casinos are a whole different situation given their legal sovereignty.

If you're talking Minnesota its scratch offs and bingo all the way down.

American Foreign Policy Is Being Run by the Dumbest Motherfuckers Alive

Contrary anecdote: I've installed and used Linux, mainly Ubuntu desktop (GNOME) on a dozen or so computers in the last ten years, including several older MacBooks, a Surface Go for my son and an HP I special ordered without Windows. I come from a Mac background and use the terminal, but I've never need to do so to get them to work. Sure I've tweaked them, but only cosmetic things like locales and default fonts. For install and use I haven't done anything special. Old MacBooks need wi-fi drivers, which usually Ubuntu will find. Besides that everything has honestly just worked for me.
