Newsweek was unable to independently verify at the time of publication whether the people on the boat were from the antifa movement.
Oh, fuck off. I’m unable to independently verify whether the people on the boat were Newsweek employees.
Well they’re still blowing up kids with these things so idk if it’s the most brilliant targeting technique
I recall this recent quote from him at Bedminster when asked about his campaign strategy: “All I have to do is define her as a Communist or a Socialist or say she will destroy America.”
I think there’s different meanings in different contexts. You don’t want to be the “creepy weirdo” kind of weird, but then there are people who are into weird art or have weird kinks and they are great
Win or lose, I’m not worried about how it looks in hindsight. The way I see it is we’re doing the best we can with the information we have at this time. It wasn’t looking good for him.
The effects of this change will also be much bigger than this election alone. It’s a jump-start in rebuilding the identity of the party into something that might actually interest voters.
It seems like such a lazy non-solution. Essentially telling shooters “Hey, from now on, you can only use ALL THE OTHER GUNS” as if that solves something.
First thing that came to my mind. This is probably not meant for general use in every situation.
I might even find it useful for language learning if it’s multilingual. Sometimes it’s exhausting having to constantly translate things, but I might be able to work my way up gradually with something like this.
I’m glad they’re adding support, but I also feel like this is a hard one to sell to the general public. If it creates a better experience, word will get around about it, but going on stage and talking at length about how there’s a new messaging protocol would have been a challenge for non-technical viewers
I just read they decided to default it to off. They should remove it entirely imo, but with this move, it costs IT departments $0 and 0 hours of their time to worry about.
I think business + government + education usage is more important for them than personal, and as long as this costs them nothing, I doubt it makes a dent in anyone’s plans. Could have been an apocalypse if defaulted to on though.
I don’t think Steam supports any sort of sliding scale system and they have a price parity rule which would be broken by offering it elsewhere
(for demonstration purposes only, please don’t think I’m like this)
I think these are fair points. and I can’t say I blame anyone for wanting Meta/FB out of their life entirely. I see value in both options - the option of having maximum connectivity to others, and the option of having only parties that are considered to be in good ethical standing. And I’m glad the fediverse can offer both options to everyone. For me personally, having communications cut between users based on who is hosting their instance is a last resort.
I don’t need any sort of isolationism pushed on me. I wouldn’t sign up for an email provider that blocks GMail because “we’re not corpo bootlickers”, or a phone provider that only lets me call the coolest fellow comrades. If an instance wants to be its own little island with its own ideology, I’m cool with that, but it’s not for me - I’m looking for an instance that behaves more like an un-opinionated public utility.
I think it shows some of the strengths of federated networks. If the owners of a small proprietary social network ghosted their project, it would take a huge effort to try to replace it, which would be insurmountable for many communities. But in this case, a community can fork onto a new server pretty quickly and seamlessly.
I could be wrong, but I don’t see a path forward for Biden, and I think the Israel/Palestine conflict is a big part of it. It’s so polarizing among Democrats/leftists. Biden will either be viewed as a genocide supporter or an anti-semite, and it’s very difficult to find any sort of middle-ground. I don’t think Republicans are as emotionally invested in it - they just don’t want to see too much money sent away.
This can certainly be done as long as we stick to the five core values - take ownership, take the leap, act with integrity, put the customer first, and dare to innovate.
Millenials were the original “avocado toast” generation targeted by boomers. We’ve been conditioned to protect our young from the real babies in these older generations. But there are good ones and bad ones in every generation.
It feels like the punchline is that a certain type of person doesn’t know how to fill out a form. Idk what the hell happened to Lemmy but I’m out.
