Republicans Are Moving to Cripple the Judiciary So Trump Can Do What He Wants
Rep. Darrell Issa's
"No Rogue Rulings Act" (NORRA),
amends Chapter 85 of title 28, United States Code by adding a
"Limitation on authority to provide injunctive relief."
"Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no United States district court shall issue any order providing for injunctive relief, except in the case of such an order that is applicable only to limit the actions of a party to the case before such district court with respect to the party seeking injunctive relief from such district court," the legislation states. twincities.com/2025/03/25/cong…

Yes, it's been *super* cool and validating to be featured in Make Magazine.
But it hasn't resulted in any financial contributions.
So this right here it gets done. Non-gross, informative post after post after post.
I'll keep reminding people through this spring, I know it takes persistence. And we're doing this, there's no stopping us.

Thank you all!

My name is Blake Gendebien,
and I'm a dairy farmer Democrat running in the special election to replace #Elise #Stefanik
💥and flip NY-21 blue!
Whether you live in the North Country of New York or not, I still need you to care about my race...here's why:
1) This will be one of the FIRST special elections since Trump took office,
and we need to prove that Democrats are fired up and energized.
ALL eyes will be on this district!
2) Republicans already have a razor-thin House majority.
Flipping NY-21 is step one to flipping the House blue!
This campaign isn't gonna be easy,
but as a farmer, I'm used to rolling up my sleeves and working hard to get the job done.
And with your support, I have no doubt that we'll be able to flip NY-21 blue.
So please, will you give $21 to flip the 21st District blue?
Donate before midnight! >>

They want us to hate our government, and mistrust our neighbors:
"On social media, Musk alleged that more than 20 million Americans over age 100 receive Social Security checks, derisively describing it as ‘a lot of vampires collecting Social Security.’”
The reality:
"They found 1,294 Americans older than 100 who were receiving benefits … 202 dead people appeared to be improperly collecting benefits, not 20 million."
The image shows two individuals engaged in a conversation. On the left, a young woman with long, dark hair is wearing a striped shirt. She has a bindi on her forehead and is looking attentively towards the other person. On the right, another individual with blonde hair is wearing a green top with white polka dots, facing the young woman. The background is a domestic setting, possibly a kitchen, with blue cabinets and a white countertop. The text at the top of the image reads: "Teen Warned Not To Accept Group Chat Invites From National Security Advisors She Doesn’t Know."

Zorin OS 17.3 Released with New Default Browser
The new Zorin OS 17.3 release is available to download and it includes a number of major changes – like a new default web browser. Based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Linux kernel 6.8, Zorin […]Joey Sneddon (OMG! Ubuntu!)
Zorin OS, now supports, Nazis.
Imagine being a wealthy CEO who spends his time claiming women belong in the kitchen and should not have control of their own bodies. Or that same CEO claiming black lives do not matter. That same CEO claiming love is only love between a man and woman. That same CEO saying, both LGBTQ+ and trans folk suffer from mental illness. Furthermore, claiming that COVID was a hoax, vaccines kill people, and is a firm, Donald Trump supporter.
You probably think, I am talking about Elon Musk, and you likely support the idea of Tesla going bankrupt, as not to support a Nazi. But who I am actually describing is Brendan Eich, the founder and CEO of Brave Browser, but when you tell people that is the case, people will argue "that is different". 🙄

I've been using it since #WhatsApp got bought by Facebook / Meta, so more than 10 years! It's been really good, with a few flaws like not being able to keep your data if you change from an iPhone to Android (or conversely), and the call quality is sometimes not ideal, but it's nice to have end-to-end encryption.

I have a Sony Trinitron which on the back has R+G+B+SYNC inputs, and I *think* buttons to switch the RGB inputs to YPbPr.
I have an SCART cable that plugs into the back of my trinitron. I like my SCART setup.
I have acquired an S-VIDEO device.
I am in Toronto, Canada. It is March 2025.
What is the easiest, cheapest way to plug S-VIDEO into my SCART adapter, or to run the S-VIDEO directly into the Trinitron?
@pikhq imagine taking an RGB cube and rotating it, then squishing it so it fits into a new cube in its new orientation; call one axis Y (make that the one most correlated with brightness), and the other two U and V
Y/C puts U and V together on a single wire (using QAM), while YCbCr gives all 3 axes their own wires
SCART is sorta like 1980s USB-C, it carries a ton of stuff over the same cable, so it's hard to say whether a particular doodad will do the job without knowing what signal is being output and what signals the display supports.
I dislike the whole SCART thing because of this (and price) and prefer to make the right cables myself.
the Sony YR-421, Extron CD 400, Kramer FC-4044, and Kramer VM-19N are all contemporary professional video products that do similar things but are rare and expensive nowadays (....to be fair, still much cheaper than they probably cost back then)
