So idealistically (I know, there are regional, logistical, financial, and other challenges, but idealistically) the people on strike are actively pooling and distributing their resources to help the people who are put out worse by it. That hopefully sustains people long enough for the strike to win out and for people to return to work with their problems remedied.
Honestly, just about anything in the web application hosting vein. httpd, nginx, redis/memcached, varnish, etc. You could make an argument that MS-SQL outperforms Postgres sometimes, but in my book, the cost of entry isn’t worth it and I’ve only ever used Postgres since I left an explicitly Microsoft shop many years ago.
I am a daily Gnome user. There are many things which I actually dislike about Gnome, but I have solved them all through extensions. Fine, I’m not bothered because it can be customized.
But every time they introduce something like this, it takes me a while to get a functional desktop back. It takes time for those extensions’ developers to respond to these things. They have to research the change, implement it, test it, go through extra work to stay backward compatible, etc. These people aren’t being paid for this, so it takes some time.
I’m just frustrated about this. I know someday I will run updates and suddenly find all my extensions broken.
When will the media stop calling it “X, formerly known as Twitter”? If people don’t know what X is by now, it’s because the brand change was always a stupid idea executed poorly. Stop doing Musk’s work for him.
“What is it with liberals that want to control every damn aspect of your life?”
The party of Don’t Say Gay and Abortion Is Murder expect me to think that it’s the liberals who want to exert control over my life?
one of the first things they wanted to do was ban gas stoves
Not true. Cruz is (probably intentionally) conflating two different Republican talking points here. The New York State issue mentioned here involves preventing the use of gas stoves with inadequate exhaust that leak illness-inducing gasses into upstairs living spaces, and even then people can get exemptions for this. The changes at the federal level are for making stoves more energy efficient. This can only help consumers.
They’re trying to go after and regulate ceiling fans.
They’ve proposed more energy efficient ceiling fan criteria for manufacturers. This can only help consumers.
now these idiots have come out and said drink two beers a week, that’s their guideline.
These “idiots” are an organization built around reducing alcoholism. I don’t think they’re idiots for suggesting that drinking more alcohol leads to more alcohol dependence. I also think it’s probably not fair to categorize this org as liberal. It was created by Richard Nixon in 1970. It also has no executive or legislative capabilities as far as I can tell. It only reports information to the government and citizens. A “guideline” from the NIAAA is not a law and does not represent any amount of control over people’s lives.
Ted Cruz is a liar of the highest order. Newsmax is raw, uncut fascist propaganda. The only way to believe this shit is to be completely braindead, unwilling to do the 15 minutes of basic googling that I just did to form this comment, and unable to accept that the world they believe they live in doesn’t align with reality.
I was specifically referring to Biden’s own words. “Nothing will fundamentally change” is a campaign promise. https://www.salon.com/2019/06/19/joe-biden-to-rich-donors-nothing-would-fundamentally-change-if-hes-elected/
Nothing will fundamentally change
That was an upgrade, imo
Yeah, this headline might read, “Guilliani required by law to surrender”. Not news.
Detection of a WiFi signal does not mean you are detecting a specific machine’s signal. Mike’s drones will pick up the signals of every Wi-Fi hotspot in range. I seriously doubt these places are so isolated that the only signals around would be certain to belong to voting machines. Votes are often held in schools, libraries, city centers, etc. surrounded by hundreds of Wi-Fi signals. Didn’t the Fulton County tabulation happen in State Farm Arena? Their website says that building has a capacity of over 15,000 people. It also says the building is equipped with Xfinity WiFi spots.
Even if you could confirm that an actual voting machine was connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot, that does not mean it has outbound or inbound Internet access. Even if you could tell that a voting machine was connected to a Wi-Fi signal with a route to the Internet, you would still have to have software on the machine that manipulated the data. If the concern is that some outsider is getting in, there would have to be open ports on the machines.
I wouldn’t complain if our voting machines’ software underwent static code analysis (it probably does, but I don’t really know that) or if its source code was open. If these machines connect to a network, maybe some packet analysis is in order. But you’re never going to snoop this traffic from a drone. This is the stupidest wardriving.
the presence of several hundred parasitic eggs suggests they [the pooper] were riddled with intestinal worms.
If Behind the Bastards is still running when he dies, I hope they do a series on Guilliani, et al.
I’m out here in 970. Not too far.
It is a rule of English grammar that city/state names are followed by commas. https://style.mla.org/commas-place-names/
There’s a really good book about this topic called Unmasking Autism by Devon Price, PhD that I’d recommend. It’s very validating and offers some solutions to this.
Lawyers of Lemmy, let’s say he gets stuck with a fine or some trivial amount of jail time or something as a result of these charges. Is there anything about these crimes or punishments that would prevent his presidential candidacy?
The way I do this is to start with leftovers from a pot of pinto beans. You strain out a bunch of the beans. Keep the jalapeno, onion, and tomato all in with the beans since they add so much flavor. Put some bacon grease in the bottom of a cast iron skillet. Heat/melt it and then add the strained beans and veggies. Smash it as it cooks with a fork. And smash it way more than OP has smashed theirs. That’s way too lumpy. Should be a lot smoother than that, like a bean dip.
As a staunch antitheist, I really can’t disagree. The unitarians are pretty great. I personally know a minister and he’s very big on community outreach, supporting other local support programs like our independent food rescue, and preaching a very positive and inclusive message with minimal woo. And he has never once asked me to attend church.
