Guy who didn’t finish the movie:

I don’t think it’s the direction normies would go. I think they would see that video and have it guide their choices. Otherwise who is the video for?

What do you mean pull out or California? Linux is an open source kernel, not an operating system sold by a company. You install it yourself. Who would be “pulling out” and what would they be pulling out exactly?

This article is a year old and the video is two years old for anyone thinking it’s recent

Can we please replace the congressmen who don’t understand what their job description is?

I always wonder whether people who talk like this are employing ineffective rhetoric or if they genuinely believe Ted Cruz just doesn’t know Congress holds the power of the purse. He understands what his job description is. They all do. You’re the one playing the wrong game. They want authoritarianism, they want to concentrate power, they want to destroy democracy, they want you to suffer, they want people to die. This isn’t hyperbole, they’re just evil. Stop whitewashing what they believe and call them out for the demons they are. Ted Cruz wants the President to have unchecked power. He wants Trump to cut hundreds of billions of dollars from taxes without Congress. He wants it to be easier to do bad things and harder to do good things. We cannot afford to be this fucking smug about the people putting us in camps.

These things have so much fucking sugar in them it’s actually crazy. I had one for the first time ever about a month ago (apple flavor I think) and it was so sweet I don’t think I was able to even finish the thing. It’s insane. I had no clue they were this over-sweetened based on how often I’ve seen the brand and I genuinely don’t know how anyone drinks this stuff.

Every car you’ve ever seen on the road is electric and has digital components. Electric vehicles just use a direct drive motor powered by a battery instead of powered by gas combustion. Your 2026 lifted F250 is just as digital as your 2012 used Nissan Leaf.

The killswitches in question would apply to all new vehicles, not just electric ones. The US version of the law makes no provisions for remote shutdown, only for something akin to a passive breathalyzer. “Obviously once that’s in place it can be used to manufacture car accidents” your brain is conspiracy poisoned and you’re listening to talking points from the likes of Ron Desantis. Please take a break from the internet and go enjoy your local park.

You say they’re going to, but EVs already exist and are pretty damn popular, especially hybrids. What makes you think that EVs are going to monitor people beyond what regular license plate tracking already does? What kind of killswitch? This sounds like fearmongering.

Blocking is not petty. The feature is there to hide people you don’t want to see and prevent you from interacting with them. I LOVE blocking people it’s awesome.

We have a touch button glass stove with a lock and I always lock it when not in use just in case one of the cats does something like this. Glad everyone is fine and it’s only a lost plastic container and some cleanup work 🤍

LibreOffice works great for me. One of the most useful FOSS softwares I’ve used for school. Do you want to actually elaborate on what about it doesn’t work for you and potentially get help, or just complain into the void?

Good to know! Thanks for the recommendation 👍

I mean she’s fully bought out by AIPAC and her messaging is weak at best from everything I’ve seen. I don’t love Talarico with all my heart but I cannot imagine any world in which he’s a worse choice than Crockett.

I had no idea about it being abandoned until you said something. I just looked at the play store reviews and lots of people are saying the developer is mia. Guess I’ll keep an eye out for another app with a ui I like in case Sync ever stops working for me. Luckily I haven’t had any problems so far.

Sync for Lemmy

Okay this is entirely separate yeah. Almost two years old so I wonder if things have changed since then, especially with the rebrand into Stoat. I definitely care more about this than the internet drama blog posts I found before.

This does work, yeah. The parentheses weren’t getting percent encoded so they interfered with the markdown. This should work now:

Tldr at bottom

Your link is not working for me. That domain has a blog where the author talks about their Revolt account being terminated (this was over two years ago), but the drama seems to be about one lead contributor banning the author across several servers they moderate. The author gives no explanation for what they actually got banned for and only includes a few dm screenshots that don’t really explain anything. The author links (incorrectly formatted) to this callout post where the author of that complains that the hobby programmers who maintain Revolt in their free time are hobby programmers who maintain Revolt in their free time (as opposed to unpaid developers who dedicate their life to the project). The author literally complains about who they describe as a teenager “playing video games such as Beat Saber VR, Minecraft, Fortnite, Among Us, and Valorant instead of focusing on the product”. Brother it’s not a product you’re not paying for anything. Skimming through the rest of the takedown post, this is your generic right winger “I’m being cancelled for my beliefs, so much for the tolerant left” nonsense that losers do when people stop giving them the time of day they feel they’re owed by others. kate.pet referencing that callout post does not lend credibility to their own claims, I must say.

Tldr there was internet drama two or three years ago that affected like two people, both of whom include screenshots so closely cropped that I feel like one extra message above or below each screenshot would change the context of what’s being said. I would hardly call this a controversy. If you want to avoid it that’s your prerogative, but to me this hardly seems worth writing off the whole project over.

I personally disliked the first episode of Starfleet Academy, but I’m glad I watched past it. So far in this show, the point (and it’s very explicitly stated) is that Starfleet and the Federation are NOT supposed to be like that, and that change starts with the youth.
