Yup, there-abouts. Someone said the last ships from China will reach the east coast on the 8th (that one takes longer). So, starting on the 8th, there will be NO import from China in the US.
Prep for some spicy times.

You're talking about "a country", the guy in the OP talks about "a nation". Pretty vast difference between the two.
Hey, thanks for your comment! Someone on Reddit was able to help out, I posted the solution in the OP.
If I remember right, no. If I clean boot, load sddm, immediately type my password and log in, then I have to wait a while for the mouse to start working.
But if I clean boot, load sddm, wait the same 5-10 seconds, then the mouse starts working on the login screen and then just continues to work once logged in.

I think it's important to note that the method you linked to only works for Nvidia GPUs.
This guy is not the president of the United States.
It’s a common way to say someone was dupes by something, “they bought it” meaning they fell for it.
Mate, are you OK? I know what the phrase means and I'm struggling to see which part of my reply gave you the impression otherwise...
there was antitrust brought under the Biden admin. [link]
What is your argument here, exactly? That Trump appointing an anti-Big Tech person to lead the anti-trust section of the DOJ was... a bad thing... because Biden did stuff for anti-trust...? Hmm?
The point being GOP was only anti big-tech in rhetoric (...) He is either lying, or not paying attention.
Sigh...
Don't take it the wrong way, it's not an attack, just a statement of fact: people like you are the reason democracy is failing.
In most countries democracy has a 4-year turnover. One party comes in, says "we'll do X", gets to do their thing for four years, and then... It turns out that "X" takes 6 years to implement so people like you go "they lied to us, they didn't do X!". Now, the other party sees that and says "oh, trust us, we'll do Y" and "Y" is a bullshit non-issue or a non-solution to an actual issue, but it only takes 3 years to implement, which gives them a nice boost and a potential for re-election.
This creates a vicious cycle of parties becoming more and more populist, saying they'll "solve poverty by increasing minimum wage" (where the actual solution is massive changes in regulation and policy that would take a decade to implement), or "kick out immigrants to give back jobs to true XYZ" (where "true XYZ" don't want to do the jobs that immigrants take, and the solution, again, would be proper regulatory (and executive!) action, but that takes a decade or two to implement). Etc., etc.
Now, back to the point - yes, you're right. A lot of stuff happened during Biden's tenure. But A LOT of that stuff was started by Trump's administration, or the actions of the Trump administration opened the doors for a lot of what Biden did.
Here's a list of some of it:
DOJ Antitrust Lawsuit Against Google (2020)- Focused on Google’s deals with Apple and others to maintain default search engine status, thus harming competitors.
FTC Antitrust Lawsuit Against Facebook (December 2020)- To potentially break up Facebook by forcing it to divest those companies.
DOJ Antitrust Review of Big Tech (2019)- Laid groundwork for later actions, like the 2020 Google lawsuit.
FTC Tech Task Force (2019)- Re-examined acquisitions like Facebook’s of Instagram and WhatsApp.
Trump’s Executive Order on Section 230 (May 2020) to weaken legal protections that shield social media platforms from liability over user content and moderation decisions. - didn’t get much done as actual change would require Congressional action. But it intensified scrutiny of Big Tech.
Other indirect actions: Trump supported conservative-led Congressional hearings and investigations into Big Tech’s political power and influence or pushed the idea that companies like Amazon were harming small businesses and exploiting USPS
it is trivial for a person to move to an instance who’s ruleset better aligns with their wishes
How?
Can I just move my existing account to a different instance? Or do I need to create a new account on another instance?
The problem with this, is if he was paying attention AT ALL, it’d be clear that the republican stance “against big tech” was always a lie.
Nobody ever suggested otherwise. I specifically mentioned that myself.
The fact he just bought their BS is enough for me to not trust the company.
He didn't "buy" anything. He didn't become a Republican, WTF are you people talking about? He literally said, that at the time GOP was more anti-Big Tech and pro-consumer than the Democrats and that a specific appointment was a good choice.
Since when does stating facts mean you're "buying someone's BS"?
Unfortunately, yes.
Maybe they're going to go hungry for a month or three, but at least they owned the libs!
