If you look carefully you may notice that 16.4 - 10 = 6.4 which is not zero, so our original poster was off by at least 64%.

Yay I can do math too!

Good ideas absolutely do die all the time even in open source. If the original dev doesn't want to play nice, it's actually pretty difficult to create a new fork that everyone will agree on. Hopefully these federated apps have enough inertia to prevent the userbase from splintering when the original devs move on.

The court documents do not make clear whether Maland was struck by one of Youngblut’s bullets or a shot fired by a fellow agent.

Fuck... so the women who survived was the only one who shot at the agents, she got two shots off, and the agent who died may have been killed by friendly fire. The driver, who was killed, was a german national with an expired visa, he had a gun and may have reached for it but didn't actually fire any shots. What an absolute cluster fuck.

I've been using Tutanota and Mullvad for like a decade now without any issues.

Tutanota in particular, feels like it's gotten a lot better in the last year or so. The inbox loads a lot faster and you can show sender info in the notification.

Lol the airline industry has some pretty good terms, my personal favorite is "wet lease".

The IMEI number on the phone is essentially locked to the device, swapping sims won't change it. So a phone activated under your real name on one network could technically get traced back to you even when using a different SIM card.

Also, carrying a phone with both SIMs active is completely unprotected from correlation attacks by anyone with access to the cell tower data. It'd be blatantly obvious that the location of one SIM is the same as the other all the time.

All depends on the threat level you expect, but if you're worried about a VOIP account being compromised to get your real number, you are talking about pretty sophisticated actors.

Educating yourself on topic is a good idea BEFORE you plan on arguing about it online.

I just had a purple line appear on my pixel 8, google offered me $490 on trade for a 9. The line is intermittent so I just rated my phone as good condition for the trade in. There is an extended warranty on the problem so if they try and give me any shit about it I'll just reference that. If you do trade it in, make sure to uncheck the box that says you'll accept less on the trade if they decide the condition isn't as described. I have no actual evidence, but given my fairly extensive history dealing with googles customer service I think they may try and screw you over on the trade.

Yup, I say it in every thread of this sort I see pop up, you definitionally can't force organic engagement.

There's probably a microsoft engineer out there somewhere sitting in a cubical who has the solution already written and tested and they just can't figure out how to send it to their boss. They've tried outlook, teams, github, skype, and even one drive but they're all so broken that it may just be faster to print the code out and mail it.

I get what you meant but what you're proposing is just losing democracy all at once vs bit by bit. At least one option gives us more time to find a solution. This isn't just a philosophical question for a lot of people, maybe it can be for you and that's great, I'm glad you aren't concerned about a Trump presidency.

I mean I'm not American so my plan is to watch either way

So you don't really have a stake in this.

Y'all need a way to get the DNC back on track and you need it fast, because this is a version of the gambler's ruin where instead of money you're gambling democracy and, to make matters worse, lose democracy even if you win the bet.

No, you're the one gambling democracy because Trump winning right now would guarantee an attack on all the institutions we have in place to try and maintain democracy in the US. If you're confident those institutions will hold and be able to curtail Trumps plans to subvert democracy then sure, none of this matters. But if you aren't confident in the US Supreme Court and Congress then it's foolish to think Trump will just leave after 4 years if he wins this time.

What's your plan when Trump wins this time? Why won't that plan still work in 4 years if another Trump does surface? Unless you don't have a plan and just want to rip the band aid off to get it over with. I don't like how the DNC operates and we need to work to change it but if Trump gets elected with no plan in place to control him he will just wipe Gaza off the map and build a golf course where it used to be.

Not only caught on tape, he was found civilly liable for raping E. Jean Carrol.

Because you're a pool?

Your right, no one has any rationality at all which is why we live in a world where so much stuff actually gets done.

Why is someone with deep wisdom and insights such as yourself wasting their time here on lemmy?

I think many racists do in fact say Native Americans are throwing racist tantrums when they work towards gaining even the most basic of human rights.

I mean, that's like calling a Native American racist for disliking European (white) Americans. Like sure, technically, but aren't there some underlying issues at play that make the feeling more justified.

It also pays artists a larger cut than spotify.

I think they kind of were honestly, the goobers didn't even last two years before getting busted.
