So, would official acts as president be legal by definition?

yes, and further that any exercise of constitutional authority is an official act.

Would there be such a thing as an official act as president that may otherwise be criminal?

in the prosecutable sense? no. the president is no longer bound by congressional authority.

And how does the ruling protect against treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors (specifically, the past part)?

courts won’t do shit about it, congress will have to (lmao)

How is this ruling not in direct contrast to the constitution?

the constitution is toilet paper and always has been. scotus just wiped some diarrhea with it.

it’s been broken for 50 years

I’d put Grant at least terrible – he was still a genocidier but at least he tried to push through a real reformation in the South after the civil war. worst? I barely know where to start, there’s so many good choices.

mate, I know his legacy has been thoroughly whitewashed by the media but seriously, look up what happened in East Timor, Nicaragua, Iran, and Afghanistan and I’m definitely forgetting some coups/counterrevolutions. there’s plenty of blood on his hands. there are exactly zero US presidents who haven’t conducted or allowed genocide. you don’t get to be emperor then clutch pearls at the awful shit people are doing, following in your footsteps.

vegan archbishop also sounds pretty cool but then people are gonna assume you’re catholic

nix overall is a much better solution to this problem.

proper earbuds will block out most everything. get ones that actually fit into your canal and play something you’d rather hear. when I put mine in, I literally can’t hear anything but my music.

kids are people, but yeah, point stands

To those passengers who got mad, you know what I think: Fuck you!

lmao what a flex

basically, the first pill blocks the bodies production of progesterone, which is necessary for pregnancy. the reversal pill is attempting to restore progesterone in the body so pregnancy can continue but in a way that can’t possibly work.

taking progesterone orally doesn’t make any sense – progesterone is metabolized very strongly by the liver. all of the progesterone taken this way will be converted into metabolites within hours of ingestion. there is no way this pill is supported by the science.

ufw allow 22/tcp comment ‘Open port ssh tcp port 22’

is this a typo or is port 5522 actually not open on your firewall?

yep stuck on Xorg forever gang

dear god if I could just run xmonad and dmenu on windows or mac I’d hate employers that tried to force me to use one or the other so much less.

when you say “something is not properly supported” what do you mean? like nvidia/amd haven’t released graphics drivers yet for linux? or some peripheral isn’t recognized?

basically, by buying new hardware just after it launches, you’re effectively one of the very first people to boot that hardware with linux. you can usually make it work but most hardware manufacturers don’t work with the linux devs to make sure support is in place. so devs have to get ahold of the hardware retail and then fix whatever is broken. the exception to this is AMD and Intel - both companies have people working on linux so they will merge support for new hardware into the kernel before that new hardware is even announced to the public. so if you stick to cpus and video cards from those two manufacturers, you’ll make your linux life easier.

even then, though, the support might exist in the latest version of the kernel, but the last Ubuntu or Mint release is still several versions behind. so you’re effectively forced to use a distro that releases updates much faster (ie rolling release), or be willing to make modifications to the system post-install to get it to work.

tl;dr: you’ve got a constellation of requirements that can’t all be met at the same time. either give it 3 to 6 months after release of new hardware or be willing to learn how to make it work. expecting software to work with hardware it hasn’t yet been designed to work with is always going to be a recipe for failure.

more stuff just works, if it doesn’t, you might be able to fix it but it’s rough.

it’s sunk cost bias. I have this trying to use windows or macos, after using linux exclusively for half my life - everything feels foreign and frustrating, with an obnoxious amount of UX patterns you’re expected to know in order to find anything. ugh, I could rant for hours on how obtuse macos is (mainly because I have to interact with it for work right now - if you force me to use windows, I’ll rant about that too)
