  • After reading the article it seems likely this is still the case. They said operating system links still open in edge even when you have another browser configured, so Microsoft is still putting Edge in a privileged position. I guess we just have to wait and see how privileged it ends up being.

  • Closed source software has the exact same bullying issue, the difference is instead of the bullies being random people on the internet, they are managers with power over you. They are at least as likely to make you do something dangerous as the randoms, but they don't have to try as hard to hide it.

  • No, I think they mean that people interacting with a skip ad button is one of the only ways to tell if someone is actually watching what is being streamed. I think even that is flawed, but also the incentive to have a script click through ads if you're not actually watching is pretty low.

  • For me it was fish that I couldnt stand, and I tried to hide it behind the laundry machine since the standard punishment for not finishing dinner was sit in the laundry room until it was gone.

  • Hmm, sounds like maybe he shouldn't have bypassed Congress multiple times to sell arms to israel. Or avoided structuring transfers to avoid congressional oversight

  • Its a good time and seeing the beavers doing their cute little thing never gets old. That is sadly a double edged sword because if you're bad like me it is quite possible to have your beaver community fall to famine

  • Once watched a non-technical manager destroy two flexible OLED prototypes in a row. At the time they were combined worth more than my yearly income.

  • Little Girl: "Yes" Schrödinger: Drives off cackling about how it is finally either alive or dead

  • I'm honest enough I worry about people finding me online, but I will occasionally shift the dates of things happening to me if I'm worried it will be too revealing and I've told some other white lies before as well. The only one that is coming to mind at the moment is I told a dead by daylight streamer I had used Zanshin Tactics to help learn Artist, when in fact I hadn't got the perk yet. I had heard a few times that it was a good offbeat pick for her to learn to predict shots though so it was a lie to make the anecdote more personal to me.

  • April 20th isn't that far off either, and is conveniently before the election too

  • Really just sounds like he took Roosevelt's speech and just gutted it. Roosevelts 4 Freedoms: Speech and expression, worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. Bidens: Freedom to vote and have your vote counted, freedom of choice, freedom to have a fair shot, and freedoms from fear.

    Freedom of worship -> freedom of choice is fine, they're not really equivalent and the latter is way more relevant atm.

    Fear remains unchanged.

    Speech and expression -> vote and have your vote counted also kind of not equivalent, but if we're generous and assume he means having actual democratic power thats fine. Don't necessarily believe thats what he's going for but there will be a lot more to the speech I imagine.

    Freedom from want -> Freedom to have a fair shot is really pathetic. This is so watered down. From you have the right to abundance in your life to you have the right to get rolled over by a corporation and live in servitude as long as you're equally as likely to get fucked as your peers.

    Also the fact that this article mentions him linking the conflict in Ukraine to freedom but not Palestine is horrific.

  • The article is about how Republican politicians are just openly doing absolutely nothing for their constituents and that this act is more insulting than political speech about them can possibly be. The article is arguing the opposite of what you seem to think. It argues that we are paying too much attention to the what conservatives say and how we talk about them and not enough to the actions of their politicians and how brazenly they disregard their voters' needs.

  • Anarcho😏primativ😏ism

  • I posted this in another thread but I think this topic is closer to what I was thinking. Every day that Biden doesn't end support for Israel we are building up more and more records of communication with Israel on this matter. Considering Biden repeated out loud the decapitated babies lies and other propaganda there is virtually no chance those communications don't look absolutely awful for Biden.

    There is another 8 months to the election, how much do you want to bet on those communications staying private? Do you want to bet your democracy on it? Thats what we are currently doing.

  • Something about Gaza and the election I think people need to consider is that eventually the government documents and intelligence on this is going to become public. With how much of what the IDF has said has already been shown to be outright fabrications, I can't escape the conclusion that the U.S. Government communications on this are going to be incredibly damning. Every time a US official uncritically accepts IDF propoganda we are adding explosives to the ticking bomb that is the public exposure.

    Not pressuring Biden on Gaza is gambling that this all remains sealed until after the election, or that there isn't anything in there that will destroy his chances in November. Supporting the genocide is both unconscionable AND an extreme electoral risk.

  • Considering they got our governor to say that voting uncommitted in a primary was going to help trump I doubt the campaign is looking to listen sadly.

  • Repeatedly murdering the same small group of heroic individuals on ritual meat hooks at the direction of an eldritch being

  • Some of these people are my coworkers, and libs from other States keep dumping on them for their dissent. Its disgraceful.
