Its use of a single letter app name did, too, and we see how quickly they bent the rules to accommodate the name change.

Turnout matters, though. Biden in 2020 won more votes than any presidential candidate in history, but the second place winner was Trump in 2020. There will be similar loyalty to Trump on the right in 2024, and if Biden can't match that, he loses. So I'm not afraid of the youth vote either, but I am afraid of the lack of it.

They don't want this! Control comes with responsibility and is expensive. Twitter is already there, has been there for a long time, and still has the users and the mindshare. It's still the logical choice for organizations wanting to reach the widest audience.

Fortunately that last bit does seem to be changing. It's not happening as fast as many of us think it should, some prominent organizations have left X. Hopefully more will continue to do that, but calling the stragglers fascists, as was done earlier in this thread, is not a productive way to engage.

Trump is the victim again. See how badly he needs our support? (/s, just to make it explicit.)

At this rate he's going to end up hanging himself just to demonstrate his full MAGA credibility.

I'm 100% trying this on my 9-year-old next time he tells me he's bored. It'll be a gentle smack, of course...

My goodness, Dennis Hastert doesn't even make the list?

Every enlisted knew it would go to shit, because eventually everything breaks. And if the people on it only knew how to press buttons, no one would be able to fix what broke.

I think you've just summed up modern civilization right there.

It's not discontinued. They backed away from that plan in favor of a battery tech refresh. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/07/gm-announces-a-new-ultium-based-chevrolet-bolt-during-q2-report/

What about 73 billion dollars in online sales in 2022 says "offline" to you?

VMs provide a meaningful security boundary between applications. Containers (docker, etc) do not.

I used to work for Mozilla. They are funded my many sources, of which Google is only one. Google does not drive Firefox's feature set or roadmap in any way at all.

Want a new law? Repeal 2 others.

Mindless platitudes like this accomplish nothing but to trivialize the legitimate complexity of the large scale organization.

It's a perfectly reasonable career. The fact that you're even saying this just shows how successful the American right's undermining of the government has been.

Hiring non-profesionals for a job is not a recipe for successful execution of that job's responsibilities.

That's what we said about Roe as well. They will always find some new way to manufacture outrage even after they get their way.

But the term is his, and it's what he's using to rationalize his plans. He's not declaring that he/Trump are declaring a post-constitutional doctrine, but that we're already living in one and thus he's justified in his radical reinterpretations of it.

People on lemmy really seem to spend a lot of time thinking and talking about reddit. Why is that?

How much does their paid staff cost?

State government doesn't operate on a volunteer basis.

Yeah, hopefully. Musk loves pushing boundaries. Eventually you wonder if he pushes too far. As other comments here suggest, though, the one thing he really highlights is the arbitrary nature and general inconsistency of these boundaries. The rules may be written down, but they don't apply equally. It's helpful to be reminded of that sometimes.

Maybe you should poll people outside your social circles?

I doubt it. When companies lay people off, they want to be able to choose who they let go. They don't have that choice here. No well-managed company will value "works in the office" over "gets shit done".
