  • Doge-ish comes to Florida: a DeSantis loyalist is going after ‘waste’ in Democratic cities

    Jump

  • Remember what happened when Brownback experimented with heavy tax cuts in their experiment? It was an unmitigated disaster and led to them electing a democratic governor the next term.

  • Trump’s Texts to CNN Host Renew Health Speculation

    Jump

  • His corpse will be paraded around long enough for Steven Miller et al to implement as much fascist bullshit they can to sieze enough power. Then trump will be worshiped as the second coming of Reagan for the next 50 years. Republicans love idolizing those you cause the most lasting damage to the county.

  • U.S. shutdown enters Day 6 as Trump dodges on Obamacare funds

    Jump

  • Half of all days in which the government has been shut down have occurred while trump is president.

  • More Outer Banks homes fall into the sea as Humberto, Imelda churn offshore | After five homes collapsed Tuesday, officials warned more collapses are possible in the coming days.

    Jump

  • Hily shit, when did the transfolk take control of the Jewish space lasers?

  • Members of Congress still get paid during a government shutdown

    Jump

  • If government shutdowns shut down everything (no usps mail delivery, no social security, no ice, no border crossings, no Medicare authorization, no air travel, etc) then they would never exist because it would become significant degradation in everyones quality of life.

  • WoW dies with the Lich King

    Jump

  • I quit in bfa when my guild stopped raiding, came back for shadowlands, and while having a miserable time in the middle of a LFR I thought to myself "why am I playing this?" Then quit because it was just a checklist of chores I didn't really enjoy.

  • Five States Are Urging SCOTUS to End Marriage Equality

    Jump

  • It's only getting legislation introduced. I'm sure you could find a nut job state rep in every state that would be willing to go along with forcing their religious extremism on the rest of us.

  • FDA limits toxic lead in some baby foods

    Jump

  • Well, if they can't use ancient sweeteners they'll use the newer ones.

  • Musk helped kill a congressional spending bill. But much of what he spread was misinformation

    Jump

  • It's been fairly well documented that elmo is a fake news superspreader on the xhitter.

  • All the other brands went along

    Jump

  • Going forward, this is the way. However, there is a massive amount of usba legacy hardware like mouse/keyboard dangles, headsets, hubs, chargers, and other less universally available products. Just think about how long PS2 and VGA ports existed on montherboards.

  • All the other brands went along

    Jump

  • RJ45 connectors are commonly a folding down connector. HDMI can be replaced with a micro HDMI and is often replaced with additional USBC to utilize display port alt mode.

  • Trump team warns Republicans to support Cabinet picks or face primary funded by Musk

    Jump

  • Seems like there isn't any reason to play along with his horrible appointments unless you're 100% on board already drinking the kool-aid. If you're up in 2 years then bad picks will exacerbate the problems trump causes making '26 a referendum on trump which would be bad for any republicans. If you're up in 2 or 4 years you'll outlast trump and his ire won't mean too much.

  • Microsoft wants $30 to let you keep using Windows 10 securely for another year

    Jump

  • Powertoys and fancyzones in particular has been amazing with the proliferation of large monitors. Saves so much time and effort to configure windows. Don't understand why it is an optional utility and not built into the OS.

  • Bernie Sanders: Vote Harris because Gaza is ‘not the only issue’

    Jump

  • Put it a different way: if both candidates are willing to turn a blind eye to genocide, who do you think you'd have a better chance lobbying to change their stance? One support a cease fire and a two state solution. The other doesn't think a two start solution could work, and that Israel needs to do whatever they need to do to get the war over with.

  • What happens if there’s a tie in 2024? Be ready for a ‘contingent election’

    Jump

  • Of all 59 presidential elections there hasn't ever been a tie. There have been 3 contingent elections where no candidate got a majority of electors in the electoral college:1800, 1824, 1836. The last one being unique because Van Buren got enough electors in the general election but Virginias' electors were faithless and wouldn't vote for him leading to it get shoved to the house where they handedly voted him in.

  • US presidential election updates: Republicans in damage control after racist Puerto Rico comments at Trump rally

    Jump

  • The rumor is that he was going to call Kamala a cunt but the Trump campaign vetoed that, yet approved the badmouthing of Puerto Ricans and black people.

  • Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it

    Jump

  • I'd guess that major UI revisions are a big reason for average users. People don't like having to relearn how to do something or find a setting. If M$ implemented a legacy UI setting that by and large mimicked the interface and controls in W10 they'd clear a major hurdle preventing less technologically inclined users from upgrading.

  • No country still uses an electoral college − except the US

    Jump

  • Not entirely. An act of congress is all that is needed to repeal the Reapportionment Act of 1929 and allow more members of the house to be seated. Increase the number of house members from 437 (approx 750,000 citizens per rep) to 1093 (2.5x increase yielding approx 300,000 citizens per rep). This is roughly the same ratio of house reps to citizens when this bill was passed nearly 100 years ago.

    A capped house significantly broke the balance between populous states and small states further in the favor of the small states. Ending this imbalance would move both the executive branch and the legislature to more accurately represent the will of the people.

  • Does anybody here still wish the Fediverse just had more people?

    Jump

  • Nearly every niche community I've joined has essentially died due to not having the critical mass of users to support that community. Hell, even look at the large states like California or Texas: they're communities with only a few hundred active users and maybe a couple thousand joined. Feels like the lemmy is mostly us politics, star trek, Germans, and memes.
