And to think, they stared with an app to identify if something was a hot dog or not.

From my reading of this, there were originally over 40 LGBTQ+ poison-pill typer riders in this bill far worse than this, this is the only one that remains; while it still isn’t great the others were far more impactful on people’s day-to-day lives, it’s only through September, and it’s pretty easy to bypass by draping it from the building, painting it on surfaces, placing them on desks, etc.

If it was so broken before that people who had earned it weren’t getting the benefit and now they are, that’s “more of the same”?

Wait, are you seriously contending that making significant progress on repairing something that’s fundamentally broken and affects a large amount of people for an extended time isn’t a massively positive thing?

Yeah, the article is pretty tankie on that point, the author’s far-left credentials are pretty well established though. I thought it was a good argument why people who are way left of the current Democratic Party still benefit from continuing to vote for democrats because it allows them to keep pushing for change.

Stare Decisis is for suckers.

Are you looking for a book reading app:

• Where if you throw an EPUB file (for example) at it you can read it within the app?

Or

• One where you can track information about books that you are reading or have read and can find out if new books are coming out similar to those you currently have shown interest in?

This and Operation Paperclip are basically open secrets at this point. I mean, they both have pretty extensive Wikipedia pages, and they made a movie about Wernher von Braun. It’s not some hidden secret.

!arctic@lemmy.world has good markdown support and if it’s missing anything the developer is pretty good at making sure the next update supports it.

Did I say he wasn’t a Nazi? Weird, I just re-read my post and I don’t see that there.

I think the implication that he was a full participant as Chief of [General] Staff when it was purely in an acting role for two whole weeks after a resignation and possibly was also involved in an assassination attempt on Hitler’s life remove important context from the full view of history especially at a time where Russian Propagandists would love for nothing more to smear NATO to further their own ends as they invade a sovereign nation.

But you do you.

Yep, and it got disappeared after the comments shredded the post as so misleading as to be meaningless.

I’m in this and I don’t like it. Reported.

There’s reason to believe that Chubb did offer but wanted real estate collateral and Trump was unwilling to do that.

Arctic was the first iOS app to get mod features, voyager wasn’t far behind though.

It’s my backup app. I wish it had a markdown editor, though.

It was already mentioned in another place, by !Arctic@lemmy.world is my personal favorite at the moment.

Are you sure? That could be a denim shirt.

I tried to go for quick reads. The top 3 recommendations (all novellas, but incredible) would be

Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman Or All Systems Red by Martha Wells (already mentioned by others too) Or A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers

And 2 honorable mentions that are longer: Thief by Margaret Whalen Turner The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins

Around 2018 when they were bought by IBT Media. They try to toe the line to seem less biased, but it’s not hard to see in the choice of topics covered and the rigor they apply (though their fact checking was never great).
