What the USA needs is impeachment, removal (with 100% approval from Congress), and then constitutional reforms to ensure that this never happens again.

Instead, what we’re seeing is several prominent Democrats already backtracking and making excuses for doing nothing. Then the pendulum will just swing back again.

No, there will be no forgiveness.

I’ll always be a fan of serif over sans serif fonts. I just find them a lot more elegant and pleasing to look at. Also, it’s much more common to see crappy sans serif fonts that make I and l look the same.

I’m not a doctor, but maybe it’s to make sure it’s safe for someone who is (or may be) pregnant?

Could also just be marketing too of course.

You never forget the people that leave you. But you do remember them very, very differently.

Maybe if you remove the 1 and the 0.

They have a bright future ahead of them.

When I want to, yes. I play for fun, not for some arbitrary badge of merit that the game authors decided I ought to live up to. Just because the game’s authors had their own ideas about what they think is fair and fun, doesn’t mean that they’re right. It’s my spare time, and I’ll use it the way I want.

Valheim, I’m looking at you.

I only play single player games though. I would never cheat in a multiplayer game. If I felt like I wanted/needed to cheat in a multiplayer game, I wouldn’t play it to begin with.

So they’re openly admitting that they’re using Reddit for astroturfing now? I didn’t click the link because fuck reddit, but no doubt they have armies of shill accounts boosting their PR image. They probably even have reps inside PR to manage all of it, and might even be paying them for that privilege.

It’s hilarious how both Reddit and Proton keep digging deeper into the holes they created for themselves.

Please remember something very important everyone: The company may have changed its policy, but the company that made the policy hasn’t changed. The people that made the bad decisions are still in charge, and the priorities that made them make that decision are still the same. They haven’t changed.

This is relevant not just for Proton, but about every time company pretends to step back from a bad decision.

Great costume work.

Except for the guys in the golf cart, what the hell were they thinking

Funny you mention that: https://www.panamericandispatch.org/p/meta-ignores-brazilian-court-order

Really hope Facebook gets pounded for their interference in Brazil’s election.

Great news, not just for Brazil, but for the whole world.

But winning the election is just the first step. The more important part is that he uses his victory to deliver the results that he promised. If politicians did this better, we would never see a far right movement in the first place.

Let’s hope we see it happen.

Just be grateful that you don’t have to pay for the privilege of watching ads… yet.

Cable TV, I’m looking at you!

I read a hilarious article, probably 2 decades ago by now, where a guy decided to try running Windows viruses on Linux in Wine.

If this really is a threat today, I would say that Wine has become a pretty damn impressive project. Here’s the link in case anyone else wants to read it: https://entertainment.slashdot.org/story/05/01/26/219201/running-windows-viruses-under-linux

The end may be peaceful, but he didn’t say how rough the journey could be!

wtf are you torrenting now, coffee pot???

I have a friend in Ontario, and it’s quite a nice place to visit and seems so beautiful!

Then I read about Doug Ford and… yeah.

Canadians are such lovely people though.

Not surprising at all. Spez made it clear that he wanted to kill the site during the API shutdown, we all knew that any exceptions to the rule would be short-lived, which is why I cut them off cleanly and never bothered going back. Alternative front-ends may well continue to exist the same way Twitter front-ends still do, but why swim upstream? Just let it die.

Fediverse is just so much nicer anyway. Reddit may have more volume, but most of it is shit. The discussion here may not be as big, but it’s just such better quality.

I’m tired of endlessly stressing out about money, so I would say somewhere with a lower cost of living (but still relatively safe and healthy) and with nice friendly people. If I had to guess where that’d be, I’d say Thailand/Vietnam, Costa Rica, or South America. Maybe even Spain too, but outside of the major cities? I’ve heard that the north coast or Extramadura can be really nice too…

It’s fun to dream about, but not something I think about seriously. All places have their pros and cons, all places have good and bad people. I would definitely love to at least travel there someday though!

You wrote, “A complete lack of specific action suggested.” so I provided some specific action. I don’t like being an asshole, but people tend to act like assholes if they think the people they’re talking to are also assholes. I’ll be more polite if you’re willing to do the same.

In any case, what I wrote is, “Do whatever you want, vote however you want, but real change won’t come until you throw out that stinking piece of trash constitution” and somehow, you assumed that it means, “don’t even try not even in the primaries.” I have no idea how you made that mental connection. You asked how to fix it, and I told you how to get it done. You wanted a direct example, and I posted several of them. I even found a guy that’s already started the process, just go and read the wiki link I posted on Lessig. What more do you want?
