  • Click the windowing mode icon (far left of the icons in the top right) and switch that bad boy to tiled windowing mode. Tiled windows will feel odd for a couple of days, but once you switch back to free-floating windows you’ll realize why I’m recommending tiled.

    Look up the PopOS keyboard shortcuts for moving tiled windows around the desktop and workspaces. It’s a game-changing way to use your computer.

    PopOS has been my daily driver for a year. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

















  • From a strategic standpoint, we are fighting a proxy war with one of the world “superpowers” without putting a single American soldier at risk. We are straining the resources of said “superpower”, exposing their military weaknesses, and thus indirectly strengthening our position of military power on the world stage.

    From an economic standpoint, the war being in Ukraine is fantastic for the US military industrial complex. This is a rare case of public support of increased arms production. It’s an opportunity to offload old weapon inventory, and gives manufactures the luxury of honing logistics of new weapon production without the threat of conflict to the United States. Weapon manufacturers currently have live-fire test zone in conflict with a superpower to test old and new weapon systems.

    It’s all red-state, support our troops, big-business war profiteering touted by conservatives for the last two decades safely bottled up on the other side of the world. Why would conservative-minded politicians not support the war?

    Every headline of “We gave $X of new aid to Ukraine” is windfall subsidy for one of the strongest sectors of the US economy - weapons manufacturing.
