You’re not wrong, but so are Republicans. That’s the nature of a 2-party system and why it basically doesn’t work.

Yoo a lot of nostalgia for the Cybiko! My mom wouldn’t let me get a gameboy but my sister managed to find one of these somewhere. That was my only way to do handheld gaming for years! The games sucked but it was better than homework =)

Biden didn’t stutter when he was Obama’s VP and his brain was still intact. Seems like everyone but you cares.

(almost) no black people care about Kamala.

It likely won’t be done at scale, but let’s say you are wildly successful and are now in line for a high-value position, where vetting is common. Might look pretty bad if you fabricated your whole thesis. Recently, Bill Ackman basically bullied several schools into firing their head administrators on the pretense of not citing sources correctly in their thesis papers.

I’m no linux expert, but I think that issues like that are pretty common with a flash boot - based on BIOS boot sequences or similar issues, the drive likely doesn’t have as many permissions or permissions in the right order as a ssd would. As an intermediary step, you could try partitioning your drive first then doing a full install on a small partition.

Yeah, it can be very exhausting to manage your manager.

There’s a recent podcast talking about this if you’re interested - https://omny.fm/shows/better-offline/the-man-that-destroyed-google-search

TLDR; they fired the guy largely responsible for building google search and replaced him with the guy running google ads.

There’s a few separate threads of people responding to your comment regarding what marketing is, so it’s probably helpful to add what the guy actually said in the linked article (I know, who reads the article anymore🙄).

“Marketing is dead,” he said. “Marketing is dead. It truly is—I can back this shit up, man. There’s no channels anymore—it doesn’t work. You used to have marketing, communication, and PR. Marketing was essentially a retail theory—you were trying to get your box on the right point of the store shelf, and you have partnerships with retail stores. Those pipelines are gone. Now you’ve got the internet. Nobody is looking at ads anymore … all of the channels that we would usually market through are no longer really viable. So their function is also reduced by the fact that players just want to be spoken to. They don’t want to be bamboozled—they just want to know what you’re making and why you’re making it and who it’s for.”

I’ve got one of those guitars too! Super light, really fun to play, looks awesome.

Obviously no countries’ courts are sane then, because you have literally described protected “derivative works.” See here for definition in the US Code: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/101 and see here for the copyright owner owning rights to derivative works (17 U.S. Code § 106 (2): https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/106

Yet in a state where you WILL be shoved in a blue or red taxi no matter what (say, CA for blue), you could vote for a green taxi stand to be put there so at least next time there are more options - or at least the blue taxi will deliver you to 3rd street.

Correct. Anything other than full-throated support of the current Israeli government is anti-semitic now.

Does lemmy have a satire tag?

In my personal opinion, seems like a number of factors are at work. First, the second amendment has become more republican-coded, so republicans are probably more likely to purchase more guns than they would have. Second, the media’s sensationalism has constantly increased, so a lot of people consider a gun to be a prudent option - either viewing many cities to be hellholes, and the only way they would travel there is with a CCW, or seeing crazy people fighting over COVID supplies and thinking “maybe they’re coming for my toilet paper, better get a gun.” Third, a lot of firearm-curious people see the rise of the republicans arming up and feel like they have no choice but to also get a gun.

One concerning element in all of this is that even though there has been an increase in guns, it doesn’t seem like there has been a corresponding increase in gun ranges, so people are likely not achieving competence with their guns.

There are at least 2 other democrats in the running that could beat Trump that are polling >10%, but the DNC won’t allow debates. If the DNC believed in Biden, they should allow debates to show all of us that he’s competent.

In an ideal world, yes, we should build our own trains, but personally I think that’s putting the cart before the horse. Let’s get at least one portion of the track laid and functional before we start imposing more requirements. We can’t support an American train building industry without tracks to put those trains. Any investment in infrastructure increases the likelihood that others build on that infrastructure.

Yeah, I also assumed Beehaw was just checking for spambots with their prompt, so I just gave them a few words about wanting to see memes and they rejected me 😱 . Shitjustworks I thought didn’t approve me, but it was just that the confirmation email went to spam.

I mean, will it happen eventually? Yeah, no doubt. But could it take 15 years? Also yes…

Great if it happens, but not holding my breath.
