A new analysis finds that tech giant Palantir Technologies paid $0 in federal income taxes last year, despite raking in hundreds of millions in taxpayer money to build out a mass network to surveil Americans in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Palantir, which has landed multiple massive contracts under the Trump administration, made $1.6 billion in net income last year.
It grew so much last year that it joined the list of the 20 most valuable U.S. companies, with its stock more than doubling in value in the first half of 2025 alone. In a report to shareholders, the company said it was “crushing” expectations in terms of growth, with revenue growing 93 percent year over year at the end of 2025.
Dunno about the other guy but I’m both.
I am definitely both, and I’m probably mostly tired because I just got my linux desktop running and have been up too late on it.
One of us One of us One of us
Its fucken dope (at least can confirm with AMD cards). You’d be surprised how many games you dont even need proton for if you’re not gargling AAAs. Linux is totally ready right now.
Right? After I switched a few years back, I was kicking myself for not doing it sooner.
It feels like what using a personal computer was always meant to be like
Come here brethren, stay awhile
I’m a bitch and reverted back to 10 for playing stalker gamma and modding games. I will probably revert back to Mint once gamma is moved away from using wrapper and Nexus releases a Linux mod manager that gets around some of the weird issues. Like how Baldurs gate 3 just doesn’t work or how NVSE64 doesn’t work for Linux.
Found modding older totles easier on linux
Oh absolutely. Also games that had mod managers out the gate worked fine, such as Rimworld. The problem is that I’m not playing Daggerfall or Oblivion all too frequently, hell even New Vegas required a metric fuckton of black magic fuckery and then broke for no reason though that may have been New Vegas being New Vegas. Regardless given how much I mod games and how little support Linux gets from larger mod managers it’s probably better for me to deal with Windows 10 and just wait.
Frankly I’m kinda annoyed at having to do this since I actually rather enjoy Mint. I was able to customize that shit more than my Tacoma and that somebitch looks quite a bit different than when I got it, except for the paint.
Is actually my benchmark. Runs better on linux. Getting mods running was slightly easier. Game was moderately less unstable. Was the game i was playing when i switched, so even though it took forever to get working and crashed constantly on linux, id just been through that nightmare on windows, and had close points of comparison.
Like I said it may have just been New Vegas being New Vegas. The problem wasn’t getting it working, it was it ratfucking itself about 70 hours into my playthrough for no reason.
I have like zero experience with them, but don’t games like Fallout have Linux mod managers nowadays?
The only native Linux mod manager I found was Limo, which didn’t fucken work for me. Didn’t recognize any games besides Dragon Age Origins for some reason and even then it didn’t recognize Nexus download links. Also the damned thing felt like some weird hybrid between the old Fallout Mod Manage and the old Nexus Mod manager. Ended up using Steam tinker to run Vortex which was also less than optimal.
