  • Maybe I’m just picky, but I think Mint replacing the standard Firefox icon should lower its place on the list of distros for people coming from Windows. Out of their preinstalled applications, Firefox is the one a Windows user is probably the most likely to be familiar with, and out-of-the-box they’ve got it pinned to the taskbar with an icon that a Windows user won’t recognize. There’s so many other distros where a Windows user can log in and clearly spot Firefox.















  • Roberts made sure to distinguish this case from the previous one:

    Chief Justice John Roberts didn’t say much, but tipped his hand when he sought to distinguish Callais from his own decision upholding the VRA just two years ago. Back then, he said, the court “took existing precedent as a given,” since no party asked for its reversal. Now, however, both the court and Louisiana have put “existing precedent” in the crosshairs, giving the majority a golden opportunity to overturn it.

    Nevermind that the state only got on board with overturning precedent after the Supreme Court wanted to rehear the case this term with parameters clearly meant to head in that direction, the court and the state are on the same page now so he’s ready to go for it.
