It's because he did a good thing, which basically made him not a cop anymore...

It's a final battle between Waffle House and Popeyes and it isn't even close. Waffle House wins.

That's a reaaaly odd way of saing "Isreal admits it's soldiers killed Hind Rajab in a car"

I find laundry to be zen. But you better empty the fucking dryer or I'm not doing shit.

That shit better be sandboxed and air gapped.

Woah woah woah. What are you thinking? We need all the pop tart revenue we can get. The line doesn't keep going up all by itself!

Did you read the fucking dissent? That's a sitting SC Justice saying that quote, not some arm chair IANAL basement dweller:

“When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune,” Sotomayor wrote.

If one of the dissenting justices thinks it likely, we better pay attention. The whole "They were very clear that non-official acts are not covered." is a pillar built on sinking sand - what defines non-official becomes subjective real fast. Biden could assassinate every conservative justice on SCOTUS and get his own in there to make it all legal. Threats of the same to any in congress who won't play ball.

And if someone can't imagine Biden doing it (I can't), I'm thinking that there are quite a few citizens who believe Trump abso-fucking-lutely would pull that shit. With a majority on SCOTUS already he could just start going after political rivals and keep SCOTUS themselves in check with threats of the same. If SCOTUS has done anything they've painted themselves in a corner and only Congress can unfuck us with impeachment (as unlikely as that seems!)

Some perspective from a user who's been on Magic Earth for well over a year:

• It works very well. With a few quirks, it's like 90-95% as useful as Google Maps for a majority of personas
• It's a mature app, finds most addresses (with possible exception of recent changes like a business moving)
• Does surprisingly well with being current on traffic conditions
• While not FOSS, they seem to be open about what they sell of your information and it's in aggregate, so I'm much less worried about location data being tied to other online dossiers I've left in my digital paper trail.

I found that Organic Maps and OsmAnd+ just couldn't cut it at all for finding addresses, routing wasn't super great (or intuitive), and otherwise rated very low on family acceptance as a replacement for Google Maps. I used Acastus Photon for addresses and frankly it's not that much better and the workflow was janky and pretty useless when you want to plot route waypoints. Magic Earth was the bridge between fully de-googling and having a livable acceptance factor. So far I haven't seen them doing anything they don't claim (not getting in trouble privacy-wise), so I'm good.

I would say "privacy friendly" is accurate in the title - but this is not FOSS. Even so for those looking to de-google without losing utility, I recommend it and am glad it exists.

Edit: I wish some apps (looking at you Starbucks!) would use a default mapping engine like Magic Earth instead of expecing Google Maps on Android phones (Graphene, Lineage, Calyx)

Here we go with the "Free Speech Absolutist" --> This is what he's planned. $50 Mil a month is a pittance compared to the $44 Billy he spent swinging Twitter/X hard toward the Radical Right.

I look forward to more shenanigans from the muskrat.

Fuck Oprah. She's an out of touch Billionaire who's commitment to junk science set Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil loose on the world and gave Jenny McArthy a platform for her anti-vax autism bullshit. She's absolutely not who we want running for president.

Solution if approved? Demand a Satanic Temple charter school RIGHT FUCKING NEXT DOOR to every single other offering. If it's not allowed, then it's de facto descrimination under the 1st. Use State tax dollars to fund it equally.

The group said the costs “simply cannot be absorbed by the business model.”

They can do business, just not be as profitable if they can't pay slave wages. The problem here is in the quote... they don't want to change the model where the franchisee's earn a little less and their crews can actually afford rent.

He meant remove Democrat politics, not GOP ones.

Which is it? A "peaceful protest by MAGA infiltratded by A Deep State/BLM/Antifa instigating a sedicious Riot" or "Need to blur faces to protect from the non-government retaliation". If it's the former, surely the GOP would not desire protection of the latter.

Or should I just now start saying that the GOP led Congress is protecting Antifa/Deep State/BLM traitors? I'mma run with that one....

No manager competent enough to write that well is going to put anything like that down in writing. Totally fake.

F-that! Take pride... Mint is ridiculously good. Well managed, stable, "just works" and yet has all the capabilities you want, including auto-running near the edge for current kernels (backed down to stable) without doing jack. You can run at the bleeding edge if you want to manage it yourself.

And for any haters - here's my take: I've been working with Unix for 30+ years, I installed Slackware off of floppies when 16MB of RAM was god-like. I have built, compiled and managed nearly every distro at some point certainly the upstream giants. I've been there for the birth of all of them. I've also professionally worked on AIX, SunOS/Solaris, HPUX. Yes there's a lot of fun in maintaining and running things to your satisfaction, but when you hit a certain inflection point of balancing your real life and maintaining distros across multiple machines and decide "This is the way" - Mint just fits the bill on so many levels.

Mint is the bomb and I'm done pretending. Fight me (not you, OP, you're cool)

“undermines the integrity of elections by increasing the opportunity for individuals to register to vote even though they are ineligible to do so.”

The quote is false on it's face - they already know that ineligible registrants won't get processed or be on the roll to vote. They want to keep disengaged voters disengaged - nothing else, here except for maybe the dog whistle of "illegal immigrant voters!"

If anything, this gives me hope still in 2024 that the GOP are STILL trying to suppress voter turnout because they know they will lose the popular vote because their policies are fascist garbage and so are their politicians.

The enshitification will continue until revenues improve...

Glad I built my own OMV

I choose to believe that this is active resistance from within.
