I'm laughing to myself because corporations have often been behind the curve when it comes to identifying trends in society. The whole service sector (including international air travel) is one massive conglomerate of enterprises that do not work all that efficiently. Yet, somehow, they coordinate with each other to offer car rental services, air travel, hotel stays, and the like.

This is what I would term "arriving late to the party."

Whoever spearheaded this effort took the bare minimum amount of effort. Nothing more and nothing less.

Trump is a pest on the world stage who cannot be effectively dealt with at the international level. The US President has used the military to assert his right-wing dominance. Now, pivoting to immigration, the trump admin is warning the major airlines about sanctuary cities abroad and all they can come up with is a polite rebuttal.

The insinuation the trump admin is making is that any airlines offering flights into cities who officially protect what the host country call the "illegal immigrants" is wrong and that they will be scolded or reprimanded in some financial sense. It is nothing more than an insinuation on the world scene. Donald Trump will not be in the White House forever.

Ionos is an internet registrar. The company is a real piece of crap in incarnate form.

Half their website steers their users into signing up for stuff that they don't need or have any use for. The website's #layout is terrible.

Never again, Ionos.

100% — I had a good mentor in my early twenties. Having teachers and mentors is a crucial step whenever one takes their initiative to learn new things that can benefit them later. It is vital that leaders understand that there is now a wide deficit overall in North America in the area of technical commerce and technical design specifically.

The system needs to release the chains and free up the youths so that they can keep on breaking the system down.

Something must change pretty soon. The patchwork system we all use made up of corporatocracies around the world is not nearly sustainable enough.

I am going back to screen blanking on my M1 with #Asahi Fedora.

Suspend does not work for all of the reasons. Nonetheless you have tried and it was a noble effort, Asahi developers. The Force will be with you, always...

The owner of Notepad v1.0.4 for macOS took the Notepad++ for Windows creator's identity and made it their own brand before changing the name of the software to Nextpad. There's more.

#Nextpad is buggy as all get out on macOS Sequoia (v15).

I had two text windows open in Nextpad for macOS and pressed Command-N to open a third window and the program crashed.

What do you know? There are no recovery options. I have not used Notepad++ for Windows extensively and cannot remember its quirks at this time. IDK if there is a restore or restore save state in *that* program.

That's my red flag. It's not just the name or brand rip-off by the author of Nextpad. I always test software and if it's too buggy then I will leave it be.

Keep it up, Trump. See where your craziness takes ya. I'm going to keep my head down. I hate that guy so much:

Oil Prices Rise as Trump-Xi Summit Yields No Clear Breakthroughs on Iran War

Hopes for an end to the war in Iran faded after President Trump failed to secure a commitment from China to help persuade Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

About not much in particular: It's funny that I can cite purely anecdotal findings here on Mastodon and no less than two outliers/foreigners come at me telling me what is up.

I actually know what's taking place in technological circles — thanks, Gen Z. Your generation is confused about a lot of things right now including fitting in, finding work, and your identities.

I'm hoping these undecided Moms, disenfranchised and conservative soccer Moms, and college ladies vote for AOC in 2028 or another potential leader that wants to make single-payer healthcare real. Legalize the process where it's allowed to become fairer within healthcare. Stop wasting time, Democrats. Rich Luigi was violent. Luigi didn't have to plug healthcare CEO Brian Thompson late at night, but he did it anyways. He did it for all of the reasons. Some of those reasons weren't about Luigi M.

Women and all the other blue voters have "moved towards the center" as much as can be done. We're done with the idiots in charge who are making far too many compromises in fully financing child care and single-payer on a permanent basis.

You could put me in charge ... (?)

When I saw this meme online it made me think of some kind of role-playing game where #Trump is a weird character who takes on different personalities; similar to stats for a character's strength, intelligence, their dexterity, etc:
