Scoop: At least a dozen House Republicans mull defying Trump on tariff bill
Summary
At least a dozen House Republicans are considering backing Rep. Don Bacon’s (R-Neb.) bill to limit presidential power over tariffs, directly challenging Trump, who has threatened a veto.
The bill would require congressional approval for tariffs to last beyond 40 days and allow Congress to repeal them anytime.
Senators from both parties support a companion bill.
Some GOP lawmakers cite harm to farmers and constitutional oversight duties as reasons to support the measure, though others hesitate due to Trump’s influence and veto warning.

Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours and didn’t mention Gaza once. That’s no surprise | Judith Levine

Tue 8 Apr 2025 08.00 EDT
"Seven and three-quarters hours into his 25-hour speech on the Senate floor, the New Jersey Democrat Cory Booker uttered the word “Gaza”. He was not talking about the war. He stepped nowhere near the 50,000 Palestinians killed by the Israeli armed forces since 8 October 2023, or the US’s military and political support of the genocide.
Rather, Booker was searching for a particularly ludicrous lie from a presidential administration that has told thousands. “There are lies about USAID, like, I don’t know, 5 million condoms going to Gaza or something outrageous,” he said. Considering the other outrageous things Trump has said about Gaza – such as his plan to “clean out” the strip to make room for luxury resorts – the remark felt trivializing."

Photos, not algorithms
Hey everyone! I’ve been posting daily on Pixelfed for a little over a month, and now I’m bringing those photos here too — starting with this one.
I’ve been a photographer since I was a kid, mostly working in photojournalism and documentary. I believe it’s important that photographers share their work beyond physical borders — and the fediverse feels like a great place to do that.
Pixelfed has been a refreshing alternative to Instagram — calmer, cleaner, and more about the photos themselves.
Curious to hear what you think. Excited to be here and see everyone’s perspective!
What is the best setup for Wayland + Nvidia/Intel Laptop (Alternative to Reverse Sync)?
Not sure if this is a good place to ask for help, but I have scoured the internet and no one has a solution, so hopefully this question helps me as well as others.
I'm trying to get my computer to run at its best when on Hyprland.
I have an MSI Raider GE76 which has an Nvidia GTX 3080 Mobile and an Intel Tiger Lake CPU with integrated graphics.
I typically have an external display over display port, an Ultrawide 3440x1440@60Hz, and the internal laptop display is on eDP at 1920x1080@360Hz.
Note tho that while I often have the dual screen setup, I do need to be able to go to just the Intel display.
The Nvidia GPU drives all outputs (DP, HDMI, Thunderbolt) EXCEPT for the eDP which is connected to the Intel card.
On X11, I could use reverse prime sync to use the Nvidia card for everything and just have the Intel card draw whatever the Nvidia card renders. This worked well.
Unfortunately there isn't anything like that for Wayland, and I don't have a hardware switch to put the eDP on the nvidia side of things.
This means that I have to use the default prime modes to run stuff on the nvidia card which makes the second screen incredibly laggy.
Now, I can disable the i915 module and the external display becomes buttery smooth, but I can't use my built-in display (which means I also can't use the display when I'm not connected to the external monitor).
How can I get both to work well on Wayland?
Can I run the external display exclusively on Nvidia and the internal on Intel with Prime?
That could work, but idk if that's possible.
What's the optimal way to set up an external display on Wayland with and Nvidia hybrid-graphics laptop?
Bc right now I'm thinking of just going back to X11 and praying it gets enough support to live until I can get a decent Wayland config.
I don't have such a laptop, so I can't really speak for experience, but I can tell you what I know.
You definitely can use prime to render a program on the dgpu and display it on the igpu, this requires basically no configuration at all on wayland, I even did it on my desktop computer when Wayland didn't run on Nvidia. But I don't know if you can or why you would use the dgpu for everything instead of only selected programs (games).
What you really need is a compositor that properly uses both GPUs and can use the ports of both at the same time, hyperlaneld might just be bad at that. Gnome should be in a better position so you can start from here and see if gnome behaves better.
Also, are you sure you want to use a tiling compositor on a gaming laptop? Wouldn't it be a better experiment to just go with gnome? It's visually polished and goes well with trackpads.

Also, are you sure you want to use a tiling compositor on a gaming laptop
I can't go back to moving windows around by hand. It's so tedious. I can't stand it anymore. Even on Windows which I use for work I always install FancyWM to achieve some sense of tiling. It's just imo a superior way to use a computer.
That said, GNOME has the fantastic Pop Shell 2 which functions similar to Hyprland or i3, so that's fine on GNOME. Honestly, I'm hopeful for COSMIC and plan to try it out once it gets out of Alpha.
The problem I have with GNOME is I always end up breaking it in a way that I can't restore it. Some extension or GTK theme tweak or something, even when uninstalled, always seems to get it stuck in a bad state. It doesn't like customization. KDE does, but it doesn't have as good tiling support (there's Polonium, which is... okay).
Perhaps I'll try it again tho. I've used GNOME for several months at a time before, but I had problems when switching to Wayland a couple years ago initially (which I'm sure are fixed now).

A couple years ago it could never have worked properly, Nvidia drivers didn't support Wayland. Because Nvidia refused to implement drivers that followed the Linux semantic (which admittedly was outdated). About a year ago, after many years of work, they published a new semantic that Nvidia was willing to implement. Alongside that, a new Wayland protocol was added so that compositors could opt-in the new semantic when the driver supports it. So, to use Wayland with Nvidia you need both a recent enough Nvidia driver (I think anything after last July) and a compositor that implement the linux_drm_syncobj_v1 protocol. I'm not even sure hyperland supports it, so you should also look into that before continuing.
P.s.: gnome's mutter, and kde's kwin (which are the name of their compositors) both supported that protocol since the very day after it was released, so those are guaranteed to work if they are recent enough, unless if you are on Ubuntu lts which stripped it out for a pet peeve about adding features to lts releases.
Splitting the thread here. I personally used i3wm for more than a year and became white fast with it, then I had to use windows for a month and when I went back to i3 it was a pain, I couldn't do shit. It was at that moment I decided "why can't I just stop forcing myself to this PITA and just use the mouse faster?" And I never used a tiling VM again, personally I use kde on desktop and gnome on laptop.
But, I can see the appeal of automatic tiling, so I raise you this: scrollable compositors. You get both the benefits of automatic positioning and oc moving things in and out of the way, without keeping track and managing 10 virtual desktops
why can’t I just stop forcing myself to this PITA and just use the mouse faster?
You know that i3 has support for mouse, right? Really good support in fact.
I use the mouse all the time in tiling window managers, not exclusively keyboard shortcuts, especially for well, window management. Win + Right Click and drag to resize and Win + Left Click to move a window into place. However, unlike traditional desktops, when I move the window, it snaps to a reasonable and consistent tiling location instead of just left/right snapping, a random place it can get covered up, or tiled using some awful extraneous system like KDE's tiling system or some of the Windows little GUI popups. I also sometimes use floating windows.
The nice thing about tilers is they can do traditional usage well whereas traditional desktops cannot do tiling well. Heck, dynamic tilers can't even do tiling well.
I often make use of very complex layouts like this:
--------------------------------------
| Win A | Win B |
| | |
| |---------------|
|--------------------| Win C | Win D |
| Win E |---------------|
| | Win F |
--------------------------------------That many windows with different priorities and visible at once is just not possible to do in traditional desktops or even in dynamic tilers like DWM or KDE's Bismuth plugin.
I need something that makes window organization EASY, and that is manual tilers.
I'll have to look into the scrolling compositor. That does sound interesting.
without keeping track and managing 10 virtual desktops
Also, I don't understand what you mean here. I'm very curious to what troubles you had with workspaces.
What is there to manage? Do you not use virtual desktops at all anymore? I use them even in traditional desktops (including Windows).
It's just a place to put more windows when you run out of room on a screen or when doing a different task, what's the difficulty there?
Did you always use all 10? I don't usually need more than 2, and if I do, then I don't usually need more than 4

A post from /r/BuyFromEU got my blood boiling. I don't have an account there any longer, so I have to vent here:
Personally, I am not buying into this idea that you should support a certain business just because it is based in your vicinity. I will buy the product that comes at the best price for the quality I desire. If it is Japanese or American or Chinese, so be it.In my opinion, the BuyFromEU movement will fail unless the governments of EU countries make a serious attempt to understand the reasons why businesses struggle in the EU and address the structural issues preventing them from scaling up.
Essentially, it is the government's job to fix the reasons why people weren't buying from EU in the first place. Unless the government cuts down on regulations, unless they makes it easier for people to grow their wealth by working hard and not having to pay 50% of their paycheck in taxes, unless they make electricity and gas cheaper, unless they fix the housing shortages in all major cities of Western Europe - this movement will FAIL. Buying Paturain instead of Philadelphia cream cheese is never going to help your economy grow strong.
My choice to not buy Nike and buy Adidas instead will only help the top bosses at Adidas. I am going to still be taxed at 50% of my income, so I might as well buy the cheapest product. The government should give me a serious incentive to buy European, then I will.
The Reddit OP shows a perfect example of:
* Deflecting towards the government instead of taking personal responsibility
* Complaining about taxes and greedy cooperation, while only looking for a personal financial benefit
We as as Europeans must be willing to be uncomfortable again. We ARE the system. So to change the system, we are the ones that must change. Stop whining, start winning.

Has anyone thought about a Fediverse bot platform/app?
Is it just me, or has anyone else thought about the potential for a dedicated bot platform for the Fediverse?
Think of something similar to how Discord has two completely separate apps for managing Discord bots: Bots for Discord, and Bot Designer for Discord.
Users can find, customize, and run bots in Discord servers, all in one place.
Now imagine that, but tailored for the Fediverse.
What I’m envisioning is a platform/app where mods, admins, or individuals can create, browse, and easily deploy bots across different Fediverse platforms.
For example:
- A Lemmy community could add an Automod bot to enforce rules, a "Fact of the Day" bot to post fun trivia, or even character bots (e.g., Harry Potter/Albus Dumbledore/Voldemort/etc. bots for a Harry Potter community, or Link/Zelda for a gaming-themed community, etc.).
- A Pixelfed bot could automatically feature stunning images or run photo contests.
- A Mastodon bot could post breaking news updates or even serve as a Q&A bot for a popular hashtag.
- Peertube bots could promote trending videos or notify communities of shared uploads.
- A Bookwyrm bot could suggest popular books or create fun reading challenges.
- A bot for Calendar-based events, like reminding communities about upcoming holidays or events based on their interests.
- A bot for gamified engagement, such as awarding badges for engagement or posting interactive polls.
- A bot for memes and humour, generating community-specific memes using AI.
- A translation bot to help users bridge discussions across different languages in a multilingual community.
- A bot for feeds, pulling external data (e.g., weather, stock updates, or sports scores) into relevant communities.
- A welcome bot to greet new users and help them onboard into the community.
- etc.
It could work by letting mods/admins/users select which Fediverse platform they want to use the bot on (e.g., Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube, etc.), choose their bot type, and tweak settings for functionality—all from one hub.
The potential for creative and engaging bots is huge, and it could genuinely enhance many Fediverse communities.
I’d honestly love to work on something like this, but unfortunately, I don’t have the time, energy, or knowledge to make it a reality.
So I wanted to toss the idea out here to see if anyone else has thought about something similar—or if this concept already exists and I’ve completely missed it.
What do you think?
Could something like this benefit the Fediverse and its various platforms?
