  • With Trayvon it was a random crank who got explicitly told by the 911 operator to stop following him who then went on to change his story about what happened multiple times. Now it's just standard procedure.

    I worry about this shit because my younger siblings are mixed race and about this age. If ICE targeted my city like they're doing Minneapolis I would tell our parents not to let them go anywhere alone because this could 100% happen to them even though they're all citizens.

  • How did his phone have connection? Does the nuclear sub have wi fi? Why wouldn't the nuclear sub wi fi block social media (or at least uploading files)?

  • First time I ever voted the Dems got a supermajority, possibly the best thing they could get via voting, and proceeded to checks notes pass Romneycare and drop bombs on weddings.

  • My first thought is that they did it to avoid automod or something.

  • I mean in terms of general usability. I switched to Linux like two years ago, at that time I had a mid-tier AMD machine with no brand new parts, and I still had to spend many, many hours troubleshooting issues that I simply wouldn't have had if I was on Windows. Even now I'll unexpectedly hit things that I expect to Just Work and end up spending all day figuring out why they don't.

  • I mean they do both suck in their own special ways, but as a Linux user myself it's still a night and day difference between the level they're at and the level any given Linux distro is at. The only Linux devices that approach the level of "it just works" that MS and Apple devices do are locked down ones like phones, Chromebooks, and the Steam handheld.

  • I agree, but I also feel like the current level of fascism is "locked in" until further notice, so the best thing Trump's death can accomplish is putting a pause on the escalation.

  • love that my work order says that the BOH computer update should finish in 15 minutes but the computer itself says to come back in three hours

    I'm going to lunch

  • Every Linux distro basically runs into the wall that is "all of these little problems require large institutional money to solve" which means that hobbyists and even the professional Linux distro teams like Red Hat stand no chance because they're being compared to Microsoft and Apple. They can get a product that works really well don't get me wrong, but the amount of time and effort to QA at the scale the major companies do for their OSes is on another level.

  • looks like the NYC DSA needs to

  • Looks like it's made out of turf and steel wool.

  • every video game dev team should be forced to ask themelves, "would our game be better if we cut out the entire tutorial and just dropped the player into the map with everything unlocked at the start?" before releasing. i want to like Pokemon ZA (got it for Christmas) but it's doing everything in it's power to prevent that.

  • it's the thing where the bad guys believe the same thing as the good guys but they think it's based and cool

  • The industry has spent millions on hiring psychologists to figure this shit out instead of making games more fun.

  • introducing my new ETF NSDR

    it exclusively trades on suspicious stock market activity by government officials.

  • cyclizar evolution where it grows a sidecar

  • CA has an approved pistols list that they use as a catch all to keep this kind of stuff out. Would be very funny if it were allowed though, it'd pair perfectly with my Garand.

  • American spaceflight isn't going anywhere, it's just in the process of being privatized.
