Supreme Court allows White House to fight social media misinformation

Disagrees with whatever administration is in office. You can't be short sighted with SCOTUS decisions. The Justices aren't.

If a party receives 5% of the popular vote, they start to receive funding from the FEC. That hasn't happened in a while for a third party.

FOSS In government use
GPL says you can sell the software for whatever price you want too. I could take any piece of sodtware licensed under GPLv3, bundle it up, charge people for that software (while telling them that what I am selling them is GPLv3 software and informing them that they can request a copy of the source code including any modifications that I have made to it). That's totally fine. But why would someone pay for the software if the seller is not adding any value to to product? cough windows app store cough

Is it possible Lemmy's API changes the way reddits did?

Old reddit was just the old UI. IMO, old UI was way better than new UI.
The reddit open source stuff was only a portion of the website and algorithm. I believe Voat and a few others might have glanced at that code. Last I looked it was still up on GitHub. https://github.com/reddit

The original intent from the Constitution was that the winner was president and the second place was vice president. Since the vice president also is the tie breaking vote in the Senate, that doesn't sit very well with the president. So they changed it to the running mate system.
The group your talking about would essentially be the cabinet? Right? They get approved by Congress. So indirect approval by the people.

The DoD has a list of approved drone companies now. Some have similar features of distance sensors and such. Others try to cut costs a bit or put the money else where such as nicer motors or better GPS. Some of them even run the open source autopilot Ardupilot. https://www.diu.mil/blue-uas-cleared-list
If those DoD options don't seem to be the right fit, there are still many commerical off the shelf options that use Ardupilot (no calling home at all) or PX4. No calling home, and (with Ardupilot at least) you'll be able to update the firmware on your own. This can gain you bug fixes and new features without waiting on the company.
If those don't seem to have what you are looking for, we're down to DIY! Which is fun in its own way. There have been a ton of advancements in the DIY space since DJI became more mainstream. Lots of cool frame options and some very powerful processors by comparison to DJI.
I'll leave a link to the Ardupilot and PX4 docs which list a lot of information about the last 2 options. https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-rtf.html https://docs.px4.io/main/en/complete_vehicles/

I went to the zoo yesterday. This was my favorite picture that I took from the whole day.
I think that's in Fort Worth, right? I saw the little one when it was about half that height. Did you stop by the cats?

Arch has some serious pull with the wiki being nicely fleshed out for gaming. Ubuntu works great. The hardest part is enabling flatpak to get Steam.

I bought used in December 2020. 6 months later, the dealership called me with an offer $3k higher than the sticker price I saw. It was madness for a while!

They made a forum feature. Heck I've used slack at work as a sort of community knowledge base. Discord does have some features thread conversations for topics.

You don't. I had a few issues because I'm not using LTS. There were just enough differences that the flatpak was the way that worked easily.

Looking for a Linux-Compatible Alternative to Descript for Podcast Editing
Wine or a KVM might be options. Blender can do everything except the transcription. There's probably other software or a plugin that can do that.
