@Lu with all due respect to #linuxmint #developers the #flagship variant should be based on #debian and for those who use #nvidia #gpus and need the #drivemanager ( #gui to install #proprietary #drivers ), could use the #ubuntu variant. LinuxMint as a #community #distro aligns with Debian and #flatpak #universal #linux #package #format compared with Ubuntu and its #snap package format. Also, Ubuntu as a commercial distro will eventually switch to an #immutable #system with all snap packages.

#Universal #healthcare and #education financing doesn't require the data that #Muskputin and his #DOUCHE minions are frantically deleting.

You're alive? You get care, you get educated, you get fed, you get housed, no bill for it. You're welcome.

"Department of Underaged Clowns Harming Everything" h/t to Andy Borowitz #DOGE

These stupid fuckwads are giving us exactly the ammunition we need to go full-on Free Everything for Everyone, once we take them to visit Madame Guillotine.

Just a brief #factoid to perhaps save other #electronics #hobbyists some time.

#BigClive frequently uses a particular type of crimp-contact-and-housing as a universal socket for LEDs and other leaded components. Not just any such connector will do; various #JST, "#Dupont", and others won't work, because they only grasp pins of one particular size and/or shape. If the lead is too big, it won't go in, and if it's too small, it won't stay in.

If you want to use these connectors - and note you can get the housings with more than 2 contacts, so you can use them for transistors or weirder things too - the magic search term is "KF2510".

The reason these work as universal sockets for leaded components is because the contact is a spring that pushes from only one side of the housing, pressing the inserted contact or lead against the far side of the housing, and therefore provides a friction fit for any size lead (within reason). Most crimp connectors instead have particular shapes for their contacts and will only "grab" something the right size and shape.

"As for the alleged border-crossers, why wld any migrant who's already safely in #Canada (generous to asylum-seekers, #guncontrol, #universal #healthcare, few crazies, & pretty relaxed abt race) want to sneak into #USA (deportations, medical bankruptcies, guns everywhere, #racism rampant, & ‘Christian nationalists’ in charge)? Only 23 years ago another #POTUS, GW Bush, actually invaded the wrong country"👿 #tRump

“Universal healthcare coverage in the U.S. would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives as well as hundreds of billions of dollars through the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new analysis.

Ok, so while all this is speculative on my part, it encourages dialogue between science & philosophy. Could the memories observed in cells extend to all matter? Future research may clarify whether these processes are exclusive to biological systems or part of a deeper #universal principle. This could radically expand how we understand memory, #consciousness, & #interconnectedness. (6/6)
