So the only qualification is enthusiastic, unquestioning loyalty to the stupidest man in the USA and his fascist program. Education and thinking will count against you. That checks out when you look at the people already working for him.

It is. My phone has been warning me. It's only password autofill that they're removing (for now), not TOTP stuff.

Hard drives are also relatively cheap and fast enough for many purposes. My PCs use SSDs for system drives but HDDs for some data drives, and my NAS will use hard drives until SSDs become more affordable.

I guess the idea is you'd still do that, but have more data in each array. It does raise the risk of losing a lot of data, but that can be mitigated by sensible RAID design and backups. And then you save power for the same amount of storage.

Right-wing conservative historian and euroskeptic Karol Nawrocki has won the Polish presidential runoff by a whisker. The result is a bitter blow for Donald Tusk's pro-European government.

Poland's State Election Commission announced on Monday morning that the right-wing conservative historian and euroskeptic Karol Nawrocki had received 50.89% of the vote in Sunday's presidential runoff, putting him marginally ahead of his liberal-conservative, pro-European rival, Rafal Trzaskowski, on 49.11%.

Nawrocki will be inaugurated in August, succeeding President Andrzej Duda, who, after two terms in office, was no longer able to run for president.

Nawrocki, a 42-year-old historian from Gdansk, was nominated by the opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party. PiS presented Nawrocki as a non-partisan, independent "citizens' candidate" although his campaign was paid for and organized by the party and his program aligned with that of PiS.

Be a sociopath and/or an extreme narcissist. Drugs can't overcome personality disorders.

Still, it's a good thing if it means energy savings at data centers.

For home and SMB use there's already a notable absence of backup and archival technologies to match available storage capacities. Developing one without the other seems short sighted.

Especially when the USA keeps making clear that it is one of the two countries most likely to conduct hostile actions against Canada.

Even Buddhism has the philosophy of suffering in this life will be repaid in the next.

Not all Buddhism. Zen Buddhism, for example, is very clear that it's all about how you live right now, not later, and has nothing to do with reincarnation myths. Unfortunately, with Buddhism, Christianity and all religions, the dumber varieties tend to be the loudest and most popular.

how hard Trump’s allies have been working to expand the MAGA brand across the globe,

You can't really call it MAGA when it's outside the USA. It's just generic fascism.

When you're a Nazi, like many in Trump's administration, everything looks like a stronghold of the left.

Dixon, who’s had legal permanent status in the U.S. for 50 years, had been in ICE custody since late February, when she was detained after coming back from a visit to the Philippines.

They could say it, but I think they realize Trump acts on feelings and not reason, and could cut off their access to funds, so they want to appease him and make him feel good. Basic dictator and appeaser stuff.
