The Tariff Transparency Act, sponsored by Assemblywomen Annette Quijano and Rosy Bagolie, was advanced by committee last week to bring clarity to the checkout line by requiring retailers to disclose how much of a product’s price is driven by tariffs and import taxes. youtube.com/shorts/u8ZRb...

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.
A screenshot of repo web page that reads:

Title: Remove Windows Ai

Why?
The current 25H2 build of Windows 11 and future builds will include increasingly more AI features and components. This script aims to remove ALL of these features to improve user experience, privacy and security.

I considered creating an interface between my bsky feed and a LLM so I could fact check suspicious posts. But after looking at my feed I realized I don't need such a service. My bsky feed isn't riddled with bull 💩 slop content.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The image shows a living room scene with a calico cat lying on a beige ottoman. The cat has a black, white, and orange coat and looks at the camera with green eyes. On the ottoman, there is a black box with a transparent lid, possibly containing headphones, and a brown smartphone with a case. In the background, there is a brown sofa with a floral pillow and a white blanket draped over it. A fireplace with a white mantel is visible on the left side of the image. The room has a cozy and comfortable atmosphere, with a patterned rug on the floor.

The image shows a calico cat with black, white, and orange fur sitting inside a small white shelf unit. The cat is nestled on a pink cushion with a textured surface, peeking out from a cubby hole. The shelf has a woven scratching post on the left side and a stack of papers on top. The cat's eyes are wide open, and it appears to be looking directly at the camera. The background includes a carpeted floor with a gray stuffed toy and a cardboard box. The text "You're kidding" is overlaid at the bottom of the image.

I think what’s most fucked for young people right now is that no one in power cares what happens to them. There’s a real callous disregard for the fact that young people can’t find jobs, or have little hope of starting families or buying homes. There’s even a sense that they deserve it.

Happy #Caturday ! #Cats #Felines #LosGatos #LeChats #DieKatzen #CatsOfBluesky
Happy Caturday !  The image features a calico cat sitting on a patterned rug. The cat has a predominantly white coat with black and orange patches. Its face displays a distinctive black patch over one eye and a black nose, with orange and white fur around the other eye. The cat's ears are pointed and alert, and its eyes are a striking green. The cat is sitting upright with its front paws tucked under its body, looking directly at the camera. The rug has a beige background with leaf-like patterns in shades of brown and red. In the background, there is a wooden piece of furniture and a glimpse of a dark-colored object, possibly a piece of furniture.

Open your Linux terminal and type the `inxi -G` command to list installed GPU on your system. It is simple as that. You need to install inxi using your package manager
