"We don't" is the short answer. It's unfortunate, but true.

Piracy is a service problem.

A big part of detecting bullshit is having the experience of getting burned by bullshit.

A more accurate term would be that they ransom the functionality of the product they sold until you pay the ransom.

They're about to find out that gen Z has horrible penmanship.

5 Your breasts are like fawns, twins of a gazelle, grazing among the first spring flowers. 6 The sweet, fragrant curves of your body, the soft, spiced contours of your flesh Invite me, and I come. I stay until dawn breathes its light and night slips away.

It's aboutta get spicy in Oklahoma

When Donald Trump first claimed the election was rigged. The Republican led Michigan state legislature, prior to deciding electors, invited him and his cabinent to present their evidence at an open session of their legislature; with the implications that if indeed there was legitimate evidence of widespread fraud in the state of Michigan they would use their Constitutional right to choose electors to modify who they sent to Congress.

Trump didn't show, he didn't send a representative he sent zero evidence. He was 100% hot air then, he's 100% hot air now.

Florida used to be a legitimate swing state just a couple elections ago. If Georgia can have a Blue election Florida most certainly can.

Maybe the home of Wall Street, the world's largest market, isn't Communist.

Can't raise a family in Texas. Too many millennials are just now at 35+ in a fiscal position to have kids and there's elevated chances of complications at that age. Texas just passed a law that says they'd rather you die than receive the care you might need.

China built an economy that's like 50% based on bullshitting to your superiors about how much infrastructure you built.

Lemmy needs a middle logical layer to really take off. If a local server moderats it as such, the default view for say /c/technology shouldn't be slit across a dozen instances. Instead it should be merged into one view.

Without it you have a bunch of largely stagnant communities.

Mark it as spam.

Just because they accidentally made ransomware doesn't make it not ransomware.

This is almost the exact playbook that got Abortion unbanned in Ireland (which is heavily Catholic). The average American conservative when polled, is against elective abortions; but they're generally fine with abortions for medical reasons. And for 20 years the Pro-life crowd has garnered their support by claiming "nobody wants to force women to die in childbirth". Now that that's clearly a lie that's the truth that needs to be pushed. And I believe it will be effective.

Vaping should be limited to 18+ consumers just like "standard" nicotine products. But we shouldn't pretend, like the WHO and other organizations do, that Vaping hasn't been used by many (myself included) to effectively quit nicotine. Personally I kicked a 2 pack a day habit because of vaping and today I use no nicotine products (including vaping) because of it.

I mean Andrew Jackson committed Genocide. That's got to be worse.

Maybe it's time to consider alternative cloud providers at work. AWS is pretty good but they're going to alienate a ton of talented engineers by doing this.

We need to reapportion the House. And make reapportion something that happens every 10 years with the census. That would fix most of these structural issues with voting.

The professional thing to say here is "spam prevention".

Of course. Sometimes it doesn't work. Often times it's an honest mistake that a cashier themselves may have made. And now WalMart is treating you, a paying customer like a criminal.

Jobs at the TSMC semiconductor factory in Arizona could require long hours and total obedience.

They want slaves.

Will reopen your last closed tab.

It doesn't help when the government in the region digs up infrastructure to construct weapons with and makes hype videos about it.

Or more accurately, total classified air flights. There's a reason so many reports happen near US military facilities.

How many primary debates did the DNC hold this year?

In California, America's largest state by population, our #1 selling vehicle is the Honda Civic. And driving on our roads, Civics, Corollas, Accords etc... dominate the roads. And even the biggest selling SUV the CRV gets like 30+ to the gallon.

Small cars sell in places where small cars work.

Check out some maps of Israel-Palestine over time and tell me whether fleeing Palestinians will ever get their homes back

Did you notice how the Gazan border in 1967 was the SE as it was in 2005? What did the map look like in 1990? Is the reason you didn't include that map is that it would have shown a return of land in the Gaza strip done so without a war by Israel to demonstrate that peace based on the 1967 borders could function. I also noticed your maps ignored the Sinai, another example of where Israel has shown a willingness to give up land for peace.

If there was a realistic shot that return land won in warfare would lead to lasting peace, Israel would do so.

And sometimes it will even work!

Gaza hasn't been an Israeli colonization target since 2004 when they evicted every Jewish settler from the territory and re-established the 1967 borders in the name of peace.

If convicted, would the secret service continue to protect him as a former President, even in prison?

I grew up pretty Christian. That particular section (or book) has some pretty spicy stuff in it. There's also other questionable sexual stuff in other areas. Like you're supposed to impregnate your brother's widow if they die without an heir, polygamy etc ... It's a book that's incredible forward thinking for it's time, but it's time was like 6,000 years ago.

It's not like Hamas hasn't been caught using ambulances to smuggle military goods around before.

Even at smaller scales, utility-scale solar plants are $1 per watt.

Solar is being built at 100% speed. We're utilizing all the solar panel manufacturing capacity in the world building and deploying solar right now. There's simply not enough rare earth metals to increase production more. Wind, Hydro, Nuclear and Geothermal are all needed of we want to replace coal and LNG power plants.

Claiming customers damaged things that were manufacturing issues is fraud. Tesla should likely be shut down for that action alone. But that would never happen.

Biden won 92% of the black vote last time. The question is will this change the minds of the last 8% to vote Harris or the next 8% to flip to Trump.

For some of the hostages. Not all of the hostages.

The programs in question were incredibly effective at ending child poverty in the US. Their ending will increase child poverty.

Ironic as I went the other way. I was a Communist when I got into FOSS and as I got older I realized I could never defend the historical record of Communism.

Honestly, it's hard to imagine that the aid we give to the Middle East wouldn't be better spent in the Caribbean and in Central America.
