  • ‘We can’t delay any longer’: Trump urges Bondi to prosecute his rivals

    Jump

  • Exactly. Just wanted to say I found this insightful. A key part of historical American success is that every branch, department, and individual completes their role in the same true reality. They may differ in political opinion, but they all have the same facts.

    Trump mucks it up by asserting a different, false reality every day. Nobody can guess for sure what it will be, except MAGA 🙄.

    Honest people, regardless of poltics, will eventually find themselves an enemy of the clown.

  • It's true that the supreme court often bows to Trump, but the DOJ has lost frequently this year in the lower courts. Even there, traditionally the DOJ wins nearly all their cases. However, Bondi's DOJ has been so incompetent that they've lost a record number. So many, that DOJ attorneys are losing their deferential rapport with judges.

    It's not perfect, and justice remains incomplete and slow, but the courts are jamming up the overreaches.

    One great source of information and hope is Marc Elias's Democracy Docket series which frequently covers these topics.

  • It reeks of desperation. He knows he's running out of time. We need to keep the pressure up on every front.

    I wonder how long before he fires Bondi. There aren't enough DOJ resources to chase every case he demands. And with virtually all of them being meritless, she has no hope of winning them. Sadly for Bondi, Trump hates losers. It makes me misty eyed to think of her future career 🎻

  • Disney Didn't Expect What Happened After Jimmy Kimmel's Cancellation - & Is Scrambling To Fix It

    Jump

  • Very much so. It's critical we sustain this pressure until the fascists cave. Don't give them an inch.

    Edit: 25.4 mm for our allies abroad. Thanks friends :-)

  • Disney Plus Subscribers Quit in Droves Over Jimmy Kimmel Axe

  • Cowards will be cowards I say, but us simpletons don't understand the high stakes and day to day pressures of a modern multinational corporate conglomerate. They have profit margins, investor boards, and mergers to consider. Heavens! What good is free speech if they don't make more money this quarter than they made last quarter? Please, good people of the Fediverse, won't somebody think of the shareholders?

  • New Poll Finds That Americans Loathe AI

    Jump

  • How many terrible books must I read to find the decent one? And why should I read something that nobody bothered to write? Such a senseless waste of time and resources.

  • In addition to cancelling, which is the MOST important thing:

    What about uninstalling their apps?

    App providers can see the number of installations on the different platforms (Apple, Roku, Android, etc). That count falling will further raise their disquiet. Leaving an app installed or continuing to use the service before the cancellation is processed could send an unintentional message that maybe this is all just temporary and we'll come back in a couple of weeks after the news cycle plays out.

  • Boycott Disney.

    Jump

  • Here's one idea: consider reading 1984. The parallels are uncanny and reading it sharpens the mind.

    "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right. The obvious, the silly, and the true had got to be defended. Truisms are true, hold on to that! The solid world exists, its laws do not change. Stones are hard, water is wet, objects unsupported fall towards the earth's centre. ... Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows."

  • Boycott Disney.

  • Good for us both, we'll get through this!

  • Want to turn the anger you're feeling into something productive? Make this moment count and pay the price for free speech: cancel Disney, ESPN, Hulu, and ABC. They're betting you'll trade your free speech for entertainment. Tell them what your priorities are.

    Timing is critical! Acting now sends the loudest message to these cowards. Make them more afraid of us than the clown.

  • There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time.

  • In 2003, it was my dream to play FF7 in Linux. In 2019, my dream came true. Thanks Proton, Codeweavers, Wine, Valve, et al for helping me finally put down Sephiroth right.

  • Recursion

    Jump

  • If we keep doubling, will I eventually be a person on the tracks? There are a finite number of people, so eventually I would be, right? So, passing the buck would be equivalent to handing my fate to a stranger.

    OTOH, if there are an infinite number of people, then this thought experiment is creating people out of thin air. Do these imaginary people's rhetorical lives even matter?

    Either way, it seems better to kill 1 person at the start.

  • optimal java experience

    Jump

  • Agreed, good tools can be used badly. Over the years I've written Java, C++, and PHP professionally, and I've seen excellent and horrible impls in each. Today, I mostly use Java and this thread is reminding me that I need to learn a new for-fun language.
