📰 Ubuntu Snap Prompting Improvements
If you haven’t tried Ubuntu’s ‘Permission Prompting’ feature for a while, there’s more reason to do so in the latest release. Canonical’s Oliver Calder has shared an update on recent improvements to the security feature, which sets out to “empower users” by letting them decide what software can access on the rest of the system at runtime rather than retrospectively.

💸🇺🇸GOP MEGABILL EXPLODES DEFICIT BY $4.1 TRILLION — CBO CONFIRMS BIGGEST DEBT BOMB EVER
🔹 House Republicans' "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" adds $4.1T to deficit over 10 years, including $718B in higher debt service costs 📊
🔹 $5T in tax cuts mostly to wealthy/corporations vs only $1-2T in spending cuts — math doesn't add up for middle class 💰
🔹 Drives up borrowing costs nationwide: higher mortgage rates, auto loans, credit cards as federal debt crowds out private lending 📈
🔹 Moody's cited this bill for recent US credit downgrade — GOP "pay for itself" claims dismissed by independent analysis 📉
America's fiscal time bomb just got $4 trillion bigger 💣🔥

📊💰ECONOMISTS: TRADE DEFICITS MADE AMERICA RICHER, NOT POORER
🔹 US has run trade deficit every year since 1976 — but that created wealth, not drained it 💵📈
🔹 February 2026 deficit at $57.3B, down 54.8% from 2025 as Trump policies reshape global trade 🇺🇸⚖️
🔹 China deficit drops 32% annually while US achieves first goods surplus with Switzerland since 2012 🇨🇭✅
🔹 Imports bring investment inflows and boost American consumer power — not economic loss says George Mason professor 🎓💡
"Expanding imports brought greater wealth to U.S. shores" — challenging conventional wisdom 🤔📰
Trump's trade war might actually be working this time 🔄🎯

Ci aprono una procedura di infrazione per deficit eccessivo? Dobbiamo saper rispondere #sticazzi! E lo dobbiamo fare in scioltezza.
L'#Italia deve ritrovare orgoglio e dignità: non avremmo dovuto subire l'ingorda prepotenza di qualcun altro e di certo non possiamo permetterci di continuare a farlo.
Non esistono soluzioni facili: non bastano due leggine per risolvere i nostri annosi problemi.
Molti di quei problemi ce siamo creati da soli, accettando per stupidità o per servilismo assurdi compromessi.
Basta.
