Either Oakland has changed wildly in a very short time or you have no idea what you're talking about.

I like to give a thumbs up to drivers who stop for me. Not because they're doing some huge favor, I just like to be encouraging.

Link for the lazy

Siri has run locally since iOS 15

The balls hang off the torso, kick for center of mass and you can't go wrong.

If it crashes the line would decapitate him

It was President's Day in the US, but I don't know why that would impact Lemmy.

I don't get what they gain out of this, doesn't it remove the sponsored results? Or will people pay to nudge AI weights to recommend their products?

That would mean all taxes are theft.

You're welcome to have that perspective, but it doesn't map well onto any modern legal framework for ownership.

It's not meaningless, it's about who controls a thing. What makes you think ownership must not have conditions?

I don't think taxes negate ownership.

If you rent you need permission for every modification, every pet, even for something like planting a garden.

Ownership can be conditional; you can own a domain, but if you don't pay the renewal fee it can be taken away; you can own a car, but if you drive it without paying your registration it can be impounded; you can own a business, but if you don't pay your license renewal it can be revoked.

Owning something doesn't mean it can never be taken away or that you don't need to do anything to keep it.

I don't think anyone claimed what Israel is doing was fine. Even Biden was critical.

When Ukraine surrendered their nuclear weapons the US promised to help protect them from Russia. It was our duty to help. To get the Ukraine funding passed it had to be bundled with assistance for Israel, or Republicans would not have voted for it.

Biden gave Ukraine $120 billion for defense against the invasion.

He gave $18 billion to Israel and $2 billion to Gaza.

Like 10% of all housing sits vacant, the lack of supply in the market is not just a lack of units, it's also a strategy by investors to keep prices high.

Both actually, as depressing as that is. The entire region started as the Oregon Territory just before the civil war, and ever since the beginning has had to grapple with far right nutjobs.

Over time the coastal west of each state became more and more blue and populous, while the east stayed rural and backwards.

Things are slowly changing though, Spokane county has voted blue for the past decade.

The Columbia flows through Eastern Washington, it's on the other side of a mountain range from Seattle. That's like threatening to cause an avalanche at Banff to hurt Vancouver.

In either case it's the environment that would bear the brunt of the conflict. If you want to hurt Seattle you could just raise our electric bill.

Basically every Unix-derived OS comes with vi. Emacs came out in 1976, macs didn't exist until 1984.
