Generally, I’m a believer in evidence over allegations, and the timing is very suspicious, but if there are actual documented conversations alluding to this behavior from years then it’s a bad look. I think Politico ought to come forward with more of the evidence so that voters can get a full picture of what was said about him and the timeline of events and statements.
But great news for Susan Collins and Donald Trump either way.


Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.


Fuck that. No bailout of AI fraudsters.
Some anticheat games, yeah.
The vast majority of games, including most multiplayer games (and many with anticheat) work just fine on Linux today thanks to Proton, and even MacOSX is starting to catch up with GameHub.
For the few games that don’t work right now, I can easily imagine someone filling the gap with a Windows dual boot partition (or even just a PS5).
I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that Linux is closer to being what we need it to be today than Windows is. Windows has a lot of work to do, and even then it’ll never be quite as open or computer geek-friendly as Linux. I don’t see a good path forward for Windows, especially as casual users more deeper and deeper into mobile ecosystems.
