An app that isn’t complying with any local law is the only app that you can’t actually lose. So if they do the right thing, humanity gains. Unless you want them to comply with the law?

thanks!

Government so incompetent that they can’t even kill people anymore. This of course means that the victims of said government get far worse then death.

The recycling movement really ruined any attempt at the federal government regulating/limiting plastic production. Which I have to assume was the purpose.

Why did she run the first time? Why was she selected as VP after getting zero votes in the primary? Why was she pushed as the only option after Biden finally dropped out? Why is she still being discussed?

The fact that this is happening is showing that real decisions are being made without the voters being involved and whoever is making those decisions will win either way.

Also can someone post the article, it’s paywalled.

Let’s not be antisemitic please.

I like the spirit.

No stop. Why does our world have to get increasingly absurd and shitty.

Fascists coming to take arms, tale as old as time.

Almost all police are part of some form of union, and they have the ability to say “fuck you, we’re not going to respond to emergency calls if you don’t give us what we want”

So fun fact, when the police did that in NYC for a few weeks during De Blasio’s term everyone was better off for it. Then instead of taking that leverage and cutting the NYPD budget in half, they went ahead and gave them everything they asked for anyway.

I have no idea what victory for the US even looks like in any of the conflicts they’ve been in since WW2. I assume some individuals won, politicians getting elected, federal contractors, etc. But as a country, what does victory even look like?

No ethical consumption under capitalism, yadda yadda.

There is almost nothing you can buy that doesn’t have people like the Saudi Princes involved especially if you are talking about electronics. Though I am glad that people are bringing these kinds of consolidations to light.

Boy too bad that strategic mineral reserve the US built during the cold war was auctioned off for pennies on the dollar to well connected single-person corporations. Though obviously it was for the best since the US would have just used it for it’s war machine, but hey maybe it could have used it to build infrastructure.

America is a one-party state, of course. But in typical American extravagance they have two of them.

I never got into the old 3d games from PS1/N64 era. After the “novelty” of full 3d wore off, the gameplay was dwarfed by the camera jankyness and slowness of the game. For example the much vaunted ff7 takes at least a minute per random encounter to resolve, assuming you one shot the basic enemies. If you bother with summons or it’s a boss, it’s not unusual for things to take 10+ minutes, whereas the same kind of battle in ff6, would be resolved in <2min or faster if your menu navigation is fast.

Zelda64/OoT were a bit better, but there was still a lot of fighting the camera which isn’t the most compelling gameplay.

That said native PC ports for these games is awesome and I still greatly enjoy Starfox64 and Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, so it would be cool to see what people can do with a recompiled rom for it.

If only there were a way to generate near unlimited amounts of energy without fossil fuels.

So what is the downside of this? It seems like a net-positive. Decreased demand for fossil fuels is great! It’s a shame it took a bunch of death and destruction, but now that it has happened, the silver-lining is quite shiny.

Isn’t the purpose of an immutable OS supposed to be for things like specific services that generally aren’t supposed to be logged into? For example a web-proxy, or log-forwarder or maybe some kind of LB front-end?

I didn’t think “daily driving” an immutable OS as a user who needs to invoke a shell was its purpose.

Reminder that Obama could have done this unilaterally while he was in office but laughed about it when it was brought up.

Fortunately for me, an American citizen, I fully understand that my democratically “elected” leaders absolutely have fuck-all to do with what I personally want, or even what the vast majority of people actually want. Of course this means my life is way worse then it could be, but morally I’m in the clear.
