If the censoring is at the DNS level, can the admin please replace the domain name in the url with the ip address to which it should resolve? Thank you.

Your country's broken internet is your problem. If you are having DNS queries censored then change your DNS resolver on your client side. If you still get intercepted look into DoH.

Now if they'd only fix the CarPlay issues, I really miss working navigation in my car.

I have called and opened tickets, and I keep hearing it'll be fixed real soon now.

It broke my carplay too. Updating my infotainment system' fixed' it.

Nuts, definitely. Bonkers to jump to that conclusion? No, especially with this US administration. Mexico itself is concerned enough about the possibility that it's made statements to make it clear it wouldn't be acceptable. Mexico thinks it's nuts, too, but not bonkers to think the US might do it.

She's on the Cartel payroll. Of course she would say that. You can't be a simple mayor without cartel involvement in Mexico.

> nothing works completely

Such as? Everything has been working for me the past >20 years.

As for X vs. Wayland: you do not have to care about it. Just install a distro with X.

Steam works on Linux, and lots of games run under Linux now thanks to Proton.

Starting with the very basics: hibernation & track pads.

Aple software has gotten so much worse over the past few years. I'm back on Android.

I suggest Weawow, which has both Android and iOS apps. Ad free.

This is extremely disappointing. Absolutely turned off applying for or working for any YC companies now.

>The truth is Americans do want this, they just don't like that they want this.

The truth is Americans mostly don't like this, but have little means to do much due to the political structure of how our government works. Our legislature is silently approving and it is clearly costing the seats, even thought it is still 10 months before the next cycle of elections for those seats. But that's 10 months away, and while tensions were strong for months this happened in a single day. It's so much easier to tear down than to build up.

And the truth is that most of us aren't going to try and perform a violent upheaval against a trillion dollar military complex. We lack the skills, resources, and even geography for that. I can't even afford a plane ride to DC at the moment.

I'm not a particular fan of the "you critique society yet you participate in it" argument. This assumes a lot of agency in the individual that doesn't exist without collective bargaining.

>As though the issue were being honest with what we are doing.

Every country has inconvenient truths it tries to hide. It being brazen about the evils it commits is the truly surprising part. The whole point of propaganda is convincing your people that they are the good guys, and there was none of that pomp here.

I just checked the American approval of ousting Maduro. It's surprisingly lower than I expected. About an even 33/33/33 split for yes/unsure/no.

Mine does this too. I wonder if it’s exclusively an iPhone 13 mini thing because I don’t understand how it shipped.

There are so many bugs in iOS 26 I've personally experienced. I'd believe anything at this point.

I keep opening my phone "favorites" section and it erroneously reports no favorites. They either eventually load after seconds+ or I have to force close to get them to show.

Fully this. Every Ace or Do It Best I've been to in Washington has had at least one Rugged Grandpa ™ on staff who could have given me a PhD-level essay on whatever I asked them about; at Home Depot I'm lucky if the folks there have any idea what an impact-rated bit is or why I specifically need one and NO please stop trying to sell me this other crap if you're sold out of the impact bits, they are NOT the same!

(It gets worse the further from the power tools section you get, I find. I had to explain the difference between a three-prong and four-prong 240V plug once at HD and promptly told my friend to stop asking the staff for "help" finding things.)

I am buying an impact driver for someone for christmas. Any recommendations on a fastner/drill bit set?
