Republicans, they’re not sending their best.

That’s been pretty clear for a few decades.

I’m hoping he can burn both to the ground

99% of everything I have ever seen on Threads is pure distilled engagement bait,

That sounds exactly like XTwitter…

In most states, it’s legal to walk around toppless.

However that doesn’t atop some Karen type from calling the police to come and harass you. And there’s no guarantee the cop that shows up won’t decide you are disturbing the peace or something.

Nor does it stop immature bros from being idiots about it and making the person feel unsafe.

The risk of the payment system getting shut down and people being unable to make payments for a while is real. And it is one good reason to be less reliant on digital payments.

Exactly.

Part of the card processing system goes down often enough due to various technical failures that it should just be good business sense to always be capable of accepting cash.

Stores where I live have had to go cash only a few times a year when one or another issues shuts down their ability to accept cards.

You would think any functioning capitalist would have a backup method of taking your money.

And who carries enough cash around to be useful any more?

I do. Maybe not physically in my pocket, but between my wallet and my home there’s enough cash to buy a tank of gas and a few days of groceries.

Parts of the debit/credit processing system are fragile enough that I’ve seen them down randomly for signifigant portions of a day.

Cash has got me food when other people have been stuck without the ability to pay more than once in the last couple of years.

If anything he’s being a bit generous.

Libraries rent out ebooks too

Libraries loan out ebooks and other media.

/pet peeve.

They also argued that there’s a “substantial market” for older or classic games, and a new, free library to access games would “jeopardize” this market. Perlmutter

And if that market demand isn’t being catered to, or is being actively refused to be served, is there any wonder people are finding other ways to get that stuff?

All they’re doing is hoarding this old software and preventing its use based on the speculation that they might eventually figure out a way to profit from long gone developers work.

could’ve sworn that the browser was also called just Mozilla at one point

If I remember correctly, at one point Mozilla referred to itself as “the godzilla of Mosaic” or something like that.

Mosaic being the first widely available web browser.

But think of the shareholders

I have many thoughts of the shareholders.

Most of those thoughts are quite violent.

I got nothing to hide.

I’m willing to bet that they have curtains on their bedroom window…

Some pictures make me want to cheer for erosion.

Yes, but it’s easier to enforce EU regulations when the headquarters happens to be within the EU.

My kids only knew Linux from the first day they used a computer.

They didn’t have any difficulty transitioning between that at home and the chromebooks or windows desktops the school had.

Has been for as long as I can remember.

For those use cases, there’s very little actual learning to be done.

Not familiar with the current US situation, but AFAIK, in my country the governments have a stake in the operation and maintenance of nuclear facilities.

I love that Edison Motors jokes that they chose their name because “we stole Tesla’s idea and made it better”

.

For those that hadn’t heard of them, Edison Motors is building electric (and hybrid) semi trucks after putting down a deposit of Tesla’s semi truck and not seeing any follow-up in more than 3 years.
