Oh shit. Nobody tell congress or else they're gonna ban linux

On the hardware level, it will take a while. In the software level, I don’t think it will ever happen.

I'm no computer engineer, but this seems like a silly take. Hardware requires supply chains and some of the most closely guarded technology in the world. Software requires programmers and time.

the Linux Kernel, the GNU stuff, the systemd stuff, the Freedesktop specifications, Xorg if they still use it, wayland protocols and wlroots, are all developed by people from The West,

Literally anyone can download those things and fork them. And I wouldn't be surprised if there's already chinese contributors. And if China really wanted, they could even ignore the GPL and not publish their changes to the source code 😲

Not everyone can download extreme UV lithography.

Because of propaganda, people find it easier to imagine the end of the world before the end of capitalism. Just the same, theres lots of commenters here that could imagine the end of the internet before they imagine the end of advertising on the internet.

Pay executives less. Focus on grants and PBS-style 'underwriting'. Subscription services like email and VPN.

Getting into advertising is just jumping into an intractable conflict of interest.

Lol. Normally Elon just posts cringe that isnt funny in any way. But this is hilarious. "I love your transphobia, but have you tried thinking about literally anything else?" Like he wants her to start posting great replacement shit

Wtf I thought this was the button that turns you into a girl

The passive (or exonerative) voice in that article is infuriating. Police tackle the suspect, but the bystander was just "shot in the head". By whom? Hard to say when you're licking boots.

But have they not been updated in 8 years? Do they suppress the horrible screeching feedback?

Lol. Reminds me of the reentext that went something like:

Move to new city while taking MtF HRT. Dress a a man, and Tell people you're a trans man. After a year, start dressing like a woman and tell people you're detransitioning. People now think you're a cis woman.

These aren't commie blocks, and they usually aren't replacing single family homes. They're most problematic when replacing older multi unit buildings, because they're taking low income housing and replacing it with housing only upper income people can afford (plus a couple low income units to say that they're trying). And they get tax breaks to do this gentrification, after years of neglecting the upkeep on the older buildings it's replacing.

It's already well known at work that I don't just not like gore videos but that I hate them and actively avoid them.

What the FUCK is going on at your work? I know this isn't always an option, but I suggest you run away. A workplace where you're considered the weird one because you don't like snuff vids? I really doubt a complaint could fix that environment, it sounds rotten to the core

The main thing you're missing is that the words of the court are meaningless. They'll always be able to use the next ruling to bend the outcome to the conservatives' whims.

This is a government of men, not laws. Always has been.

That's why I was specific in calling them "Biden Democrats". I'm not including all Democrats here, nor am I including all Biden voters. "[Name] [party members] " is a shorthand way of talking about either the wing of a party, or a voters whose views align with [name]. This genocide is decades in the making, and Biden's wing of the party has been complicit the whole time.

If you vote for Biden, that doesn't make you a "Biden Democrat". Many people currently protesting the war and taking part in actions will end up voting for Biden this November. I won't Shame them for doing what they think is best.

However, this is Biden's legacy. This is what it means to be a "Biden Democrat". Go ahead and vote for him, but for the love of Blåhaj, don't embrace the fascist policies that he's been pushing for decades.

This is why I'm on Lemmy

I hate Biden as much as every other leftist here. But I'll still vote for him because Trump is worse. If there's a single bone in your body that cares about the lives of your trans friends you will too.

I'm a trans person. Here's what I'm most concerned about: the dehumanization of Palestinians and immigrants. Biden has gone along 100% with the dehumanization of these groups

how the fuck am I supposed to trust Democrats that claim to support trans people when this is how they support Palestine? This is a president thats supporting an ongoing genocide while persuing draconian immigration policies. Am I supposed to just throw those groups under the bus for my own personal gain?

You've made it abundantly clear that if Biden was pushing anti-trans policies, you'd still support him. You've made it clear there is absolutely nothing Biden could do that would lose your support.

Fun fact: the constitution talks about supreme Court justices having immunity just as much as it talks about presidents having immunity

Very Cool, I didn't know about these. Maybe just keeping readers out of landfills is the way to go.

This shit ain't nothin to me, man

It's Definitely not just a US thing, although the scale of incarceration in the US is immense. it's just a handful of European countries that actually treat prisoners ok.

GOOD EGG!

It's also so fucking funny when Trump turns on someone. Can't wait to see it happen with Vance

Dude is an American who has been spouting vile homophobia since before the soviet union dissolved

From the game, UK or Florida?

Nah Skylar's response is just "cap"

You do realize under the Biden Administration this is the first time the US has ever even abstained from a vote on the security council against Israel?

That's because in the past, when the US finally thought Israel went too far, they would directly pressure Israel to stop. Carter did it. Regan did it. Biden could have done it, but he didn't - either deliberately or through incompetence, it doesn't matter. He continued sending arms to Israel and vetoing enforceable security council resolutions without using ANY of the enormous leverage the US gov has over Israel.

Do you not see the absurdity of rushing arms to a country committing genocide and claiming you oppose the genocide because you abstained from a resolution with no real enforcement possibility? It's a sick fucking joke

I've tried to run Ubuntu, mint, Debian, and couple other distros without the terminal to see if I can actually recommend it to non-geeks. And every time, I conclude I can't because the fucking "software center" (or whatever it's called) is always garbage, and it's easier to just use apt.

The only time I'll recommend Linux to a non-tech person is when the hardware is so old that it would just be junked without Linux.

She killed her abusive parents when she was 18. I wouldn't condone that, but I also wouldn't call her a monster. People in extreme circumstances do extreme things

In September 2023,, did you think you'd be supporting a candidate that you acknowledge is committing a genocide? Because my expectations for liberals in 2023 were already very low. But this is some Nazi Germany shit that we're living in now.

I have parrot-stuffed gourd every day and I'm fine

Average krokodill enjoyer

I hate that body language vid so much. Pigs and their pseudoscience. You gotta wonder how many lives that advice fucked over - neurodivergent people, people from different cultures, and also just unlucky neurotypical Americans (the people it should work best on, but it's still a pseudoscience)

I love this graphic, but it's a little outdated. that arrival of humans in NA can be pushed back to at least 20,000 ya. And we're probably already past the "best case" temperature shown here for 2100 (depending how you take averages, and how hot '24 is)

Yeah you're right, genocide is not a deal breaker. /S

I just want to add: this isn't only a leftists thing. This is a Michigan thing. It's Muslims and Arabs who are watching their brethren slaughtered.
