Yep, Trump got so many union members to vote for him even though he’ll probably get Musk to run the NLRB. Maybe they should’ve shouted that message from the rooftops instead? Instead they didn’t even let the Teamsters boss speak at the convention (he was allowed to speak at the RNC).
The only potential silver lining is the end of the American Empire. They already pushed BRICS into dedollarisation, and another 4 years of Trump will hopefully cause the EU to finally go their own way too.
Then again, this was already going to happen anyway and I would’ve rather seen someone sane manage this decline instead of Trump.
Got called a Russian bot multiple times for calling out the blue Maga people. Criticising the Democratic strategy is apparently the same as wanting Trump to win.
Why not blame Democrats for not meeting voters where they are?
We need to go more to the right!
— Democrats, every time they lose
Yeah, Democrats are always doing Republican-lite, then they’re surprised that doesn’t peel off voters on the right that will just always vote for the real thing anyway.
Or they could use a distro that’s already been created by a European vendor, maybe even create a competitive tender. There’s no point in creating a new distro, add a new repository if you must.
Anyone still posting there is probably not going to leave. Either way, it’s not like this block was hard to circumvent, you could just log out or use a different browser to see the posts by someone that blocked you, so this doesn’t really change a lot.
It was already a challenge back in those days. I ran the Nokia N9 for a while, and within a year it went from being amazing at messaging due to its messaging app mixing different XMPP providers in one interface (Google Talk, Facebook Messenger, SMS, etc in a single interface) to everyone in the industry suddenly giving up on that and only supporting in-app messaging.
There were valiant attempts to create open source versions of popular apps, but those efforts were always intentionally sabotaged by those providers.
Maybe it’s got the effect to externalise any of the sources of whatever is wrong in your life. Fox gives you easy answers for all your problems, and it’s always some ‘other’. You don’t have to change or work on yourself to improve things, you just have to vote for the guys that will deport/jail the ones holding you back.
Not to mention the inflationary effects of shareholders skimming a set percentage in profits off everything that gets transported over rail. If the government ran it at cost, a huge drag on the economy would be removed.
Agricultural land specifically. Growing stuff in the city is just not a great idea from a land use perspective.
Maybe there’s a lesson there about not allowing individuals to amass that sort of power.
I currently have an ICE car, and with how much I use it, 15 miles a day getting added to the battery on average would probably cover most of my usage. And you can still plug it in for longer trips. You’re not forced to rely on solar alone.
Of course Trump’s disingenuous, but he makes sure that there’s soundbites out there that can be used to target specific low information voters in order to either make them vote for him or at least stay home. Having Clinton and Obama out there wagging their fingers definitely doesn’t help with that.
Yeah, make the logo a button or something.
Microsoft makes a lot of money hosting the platform that enables the efficient leveling of Gaza. They’re the new IBM in many ways.
Can’t wait to hear Bari Weiss’ take on this.
There’s probably already a bunch of forks people could move to, if needed, people could coalesce around one. That should be a drop-in replacement that the hosting provider could even do for you.
Yep, while it’s technically true that inflation is down, people still struggle with grocery prices having basically doubled, so unless you caused everyone’s wages to rise at least as much, you’re just going to piss people off when you say their lived experience is wrong.
It’s like the people running the campaigns don’t know any regular people.
Trump is similarly out of touch, but he somehow managed to say things that resonate, mostly because his schtick was always that ‘America isn’t what it used to be’.
