yes, lets further divide what's left of the US. /s

Not who you're replying to but its very easy to wish death (or the sudden thanos-ing) of objectively evil people.

Don't believe Trump is objectively evil? Here's what the man stands for and its not even a comprehensive list.

Trump stole money from kids with cancer [1] [2] [3]. Trump wanted to kill people despite evidence they were innocent [4] [5] [6]. Trump raped his wife and E Jean Carroll [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]. Trump lied about not knowing E Jean Carroll yet confused her with his wife [9]. Trump sexually assaults women [13] [14] [15]. Trump walked in on half-naked underage children [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22]. Trump was good friends with known rapist and child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] . Trump is a 34 time convicted felon [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35]. Trump sowed distrust by refusing to release his taxes like every other recent president has done since the 70's [36]. Trump betrayed the country when he subverted the 2020 election by falsely claiming victory [37], attempting to delay the certification process [38] and demanding Georgia officials to "find" votes for him [39]. Trump incited an insurrection in an attempt to stop the electoral vote count leaving five people dead [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45]. Trump appointed his unqualified family to top administration roles [46] [47]. Trump withheld aid to Ukraine unless they found dirt on Joe Biden and his son [48]. Trump was impeached for abusing his presidential power by using the office for personal political gain (pressuring Ukraine to dig dirt on the Biden's) to the detriment of national security [48]. Trump sided with racists by calling them "very fine people" [49]. Trump imposed a "Muslim travel ban" [50] [51] [52]. Trump lied about his inauguration crowd size [53] [54] [55]. Trump doubled fees at his resort hotel after becoming president to profit from the presidency [56]. Trump has no respect for veterans and disrespected prisoner of war John McCain [57] [58] [59]. Trump appointed Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon, to secretary of housing and development [60]. Trump spread misinformation by suggesting vaccines cause autism [61] [62]. Trump lied by falsely accusing Obama of spying on the Trump campaign [63]. Trump cut pandemic early warning program which likely made the pandemic worse when it broke out 3 months later [64] [65]. Trump cut corporate taxes to lowest rate since 1939, giving the mega rich a break while continuing to take from the poor - like a reverse robin hood! [66] [67]. Trump had protestors sprayed with tear gas so he could attend a photo op and take a picture with an upside down bible. [68].

Offline/internal network installs can be handled with flatpak create-usb - https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/usb-drives.html

One can distribute flatpaks along with their dependencies on USB drives (or network shares, etc.) which is especially helpful in situations where Internet access is limited or non-existent.

Cache/mirroring would be great for those who need it.

Edit:

Thinking about it, I wonder if there's enough "core features" with 'create-usb' that its just matter of scripting something together to intercept requests, auto-create-usb what's being requested and then serve the package locally? If a whole mirror is required, it may be possible to iterate over all flathub packages and 'create-usb' the entire repo to have a local cache/mirror? Just thinking "out loud".

Anyone following anyone interesting on Nostr? Tried it for a while and while the tech is cool I felt it was missing a good collection of people. All I ever saw was crypto scams and self referential memes/discussions about how cool Nostr is - which I agree - but that's not what I'm interested in.

Serious question, because I get a similar "TIL" on my mastodon thread and saw this and had a similar thought - would you prefer to see no "TIL" content posted by bots? I don't have any stake, but they do provide 3 benefits that I personally enjoy, as much as I'd prefer it was "organically" generated content:

1. Some posts are insightful, others I can just ignore/move on.
2. It provides a way to interact with the broader "fediverse" community about certain topics.
3. Helps avoid visiting sites like Reddit by virtue of having less content here and looking elsewhere.

More on topic - here's a pic of the couple, for anyone interested:

Never forget: The second-largest egg producer in the country - a family farming company of a Republican candidate for the US Senate- was found liable to fix the price of eggs.

In general, the majority of apps should work on a de-googled phone (lineage, graphene, calyx, etc). That said, there are a few apps that require a feature called SafetyNet to ensure the system hasn't been modified. Apps with this feature will not work and are generally limited to banking/financial type apps.

First I've heard of them, hopefully they can get back to it soon. I'm still keeping my eyes on the Aptera

People need to (re)discover adblockers and alternative apps.

• Firefox+uBlock Origin takes care of nearly all ads on the web.
• NewPipe Lets you watch YouTube without ads (and lets you download videos).
• Pixelfed is like insta without the ads (or people, lets be honest, but you gotta be the change you want to see)
• Mastodon is twitter without ads
• Lemmy reddit without ads

We have the tools and technology, its just a matter of people making the move, but that's hard because of the network effect.

To be fair, the man's running low on resources and has bigger things to worry about, like staying out of jail - lmfaooo
