So after driving the world's largest economy off a cliff, causing precipitous declines in the stock markets for two days, what did Trump choose to do?

He took another long weekend off to cheat at golf, of course. Why should his lifestyle be affected by the chaos and destruction he's unleashing?

Note: when a billionaire [1] says there may be some short-term pain due to his economic policies, he means pain for you. Never him, or his buddies.

And finally, on his way back to D.C., he made a few remarks about the economy and markets, claiming everything was fine. The chilling part is that his words made absolutely clear that he does not understand the difference between a trade deficit and a budget deficit.

I'll repeat that for those in the back: THE MAN IN COMMAND OF THE MACHINERY THAT CONTROLS THE US ECONOMY DOES NOT KNOW THAT A TRADE DEFICIT AND A BUDGET DEFICIT ARE DIFFERENT THINGS.

After understanding that, if you still believe that his actions are going to result in a stronger US economy after some "short term" pain, I have a bridge to sell you.

[1] I don't think Trump was actually a billionaire before the last election. He had lots of claimed-expensive assets, but was leveraged heavily on almost everything. His net worth was probably low hundreds of millions, max. But he's grifted massively since then, and probably is now..

Microsoft thinks you should recycle pcs that can't be upgraded to windows 11...

Please do not do this. Try linux or give them to someone else who will, or donate them to charitable organizations.

Goblins need spare computers everywhere!

#question
Can we have a #hashtag on here for people who wish to discard perfectly good computers, so other people on here who are less fortunate can get them and use linux or something?

Any opinions on a best hashtag for that?

*edit @generationX mentioned a hashtag, #computertruhe (which is a group or the german equivalent to this paying it forward of computers or related parts, and is active on mastodon!) This may translate to #computerchest and is the best lead on a relevant hashtag for this purpose so far!

*edit edit A lot of passion for this! :)
Other suggestions for hashtags now include
#takemytech to be established for this purpose!(@Cyclist )
#retux (for games?)
possibly #upcycling

@PCsfueralle for Austria, like computertruhe for DE

I will try to clean up these edits as I understand better. Thanks everyone!

#Debian 12 Bookworm made installation and GUI much easier than previous versions, including nonfree repositories for proprietary driver support! Debian 13 Trixie drops later this year. It is upstream and al about open source, as a Linux option.

this article reads- Microsoft's Emergency Alert: 240M Windows Users Should Stop Using Their PCs. Microsoft is preparing millions of PC owners for the unprecedented device cliff edge that hits on October 14, when support for Windows 10 ends. According to Windows Latest, the company is advising users to discontinue the use of certain devices and to “recycle Windows 10 PCs” that are unable to upgrade to Windows 11. -from lawyer-monthly, which runs bad scripts.

How is it that people can trust #science enough to #diagnose their children to find out if they have #measles, and when that suspician is confirmed, distrust science to have been able to fix or prevent it?

One point is missing. When tariffs go up and down stock prices go also down and up.

While anyone outside not know when it is, MAGAs know and they get richer with buying and selling stocks.

Noone can clearly say they broke or it is part of tactics.

For free nations it only works out without them.

Tech mogul #ElonMusk, who has served as a close advisor to President #DonaldTrump, on Saturday broke with the president's decision to impose expansive #tariffs on most foreign nations, saying that he hopes to see a "zero tariff situation"

> "I hope it is agreed that both Europe and the United States should move, ideally, in my view, to a zero #tariff situation, effectively creating a free trade zone between Europe and North America,"

White House fires NSA & Cyber Command chief—raising national security alarm bells

General Timothy Haugh, head of both the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command, has been abruptly fired by the Trump administration, according to CBS and the BBC. His deputy, Wendy Noble, has also reportedly been removed.

This high-level shakeup comes after Trump met with far-right activist Laura Loomer, who called the officials “disloyal.” Trump denies she played a role—but earlier told reporters, “we’ll let go of people we don’t like.”

Lawmakers and cybersecurity professionals are deeply concerned:
・🧠 Removing top cyber leadership undermines national stability
・⚖️ The decision appears politically motivated, not performance-based
・🔐 At a time of escalating cyber threats, the U.S. just lost key defenders
