Olay on YouTube put it this way: you vote for your weakest adversary. Harris may be shit on Palestine but she probably won’t tell cops to just start murdering protesters.

Hopefully the absence of an algorithm pushing engagement at all costs will dispel some of it.

I’ve thought for quite some time that software companies in general, and game developers in particular, are a natural for worker-owned co-ops to break from the stereotypical realm of co-op grocery stores and coffee shops. Start up costs can be kept low, and marginal cost of distribution is negligible.

This seems like a great move.

Do you have any insight into getting Linux to play nice with the different components of fusion drives? I have an old iMac and Mac mini both with Fusion Drive and after installing fedora or Ubuntu the SSD is seen and mounts fine but while the HDD is seen it doesn’t mount at startup despite setting it to mount at startup. I’d like to use these machines for some archiving and media hosting but that’s difficult if I can’t reliably access the much higher capacity drives.

Also, the tenor of commentary is different than it was this time in 2020. A lot more “someone should do something” and a lot less “I’m going to do something.”

Yeah, and Capitol police will probably be much more willing to default to lethal force considering they lost a few people the last go-round.

If you want a group to preemptively round up and detain, let’s talk about youth pastors and church youth group leaders. At least there’s evidence of a trend there.

This goes back a long way. There are posts on neo-nazi BBS systems from the 80s where they are talking about the strategy of making a racist comment, then playing it off as a joke if there’s pushback, and noting that a given audience may be receptive to more extreme and overt racist messaging in the future.

He was also a big part of…The Story of Everest!

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Glaciers formed over millennia. If they melt, they’re gone, even if we drop CO2 to pre-industrial levels. The Antarctic ice sheet is millions of years of snow that fell at the rate of a few inches a year and just didn’t melt. If significant portions of that fall off and melt, it’ll be millions of years more for the water it adds to the oceans to cycle back to the ice sheet again. The changes we have made will not be reversed automatically or in many cases at all.

Because it won’t work? That’s what I got from the article. I’m not sure what else you’re implying.

Not really. If Trump wins and returns the favors Musk has done, Musk benefits enormously. If Harris wins, for Musk things largely remain status quo based on previous democratic administrations. Hundreds of millions in cash don’t mean much to him one way or the other.

This is a short video about how one law makes it more difficult to build denser housing in the US and Canada: https://youtu.be/iRdwXQb7CfM?si=fLJ6qcVIOzHEFOvU

Gender chain-melted state? Gender superglass? Gender string-net liquid?

The question was “what word or phrase annoys you,” not “do you understand this phrase.”

I know what the phrasing means, it still bugs the shit out of me.

“Not me” doing something.

Just say you’re doing something, and accept that it may be a bit hypocritical or shameful that you’re doing it.

How is this calculated? Presumably you could directly measure all but the T-Rex and pliosaur, but how are those bits forces calculated?

Counterpoint: it could happen to nicer people, and it’s great that for once it didn’t.
