"GIMME YER BELT!"

Voyager. Hands down.

"The Borg, Macroviruses, telepathic pitcher plants......the Delta Quadrant is a death trap" -Janeway-

When even the captain acknowledges it, it's bad. At least Picard had Starfleet support at his back.

Repairable technology with encouragement to repair things that break by designing them to be fixable.

Open source technologies becoming the rule, rather than the exception (this is already the case in some ways, but I truly mean EVERYTHING).

Open Standards that make interoperability easier by removing walled gardens (iMessage, G-Sync, etc).

I.....what? What the shit?

To be fair, Rocket League runs fine in Proton.

Also, to be fair.....agreed. Fuck Epic.

I don't trust any corporation. However, Valve has treated customers with respect and doesn't try to bend us over. For that, I'll keep buying from them.

However, I fear for the day Gabe Newell is no longer running the show.

Until we change our First Past the Post voting system in America, there are only two parties that can win. We need to change the rules to get out of this mess.

People who are this weirdly repressed and creepy about sex and reproduction almost always have something very dark in their past and/or present. I will not be surprised if we find out he has coerced teenage boys and/or girls into sex or something just as fucked up.

Donald Trump doesn't hate black people. He hates anyone that doesn't give him money or power. Black people just happen to overlap greatly in that venn diagram because we've been kicking Black people in the teeth for decades in America. Treating them like second class citizens with voter suppression, gerrymandering, red lining, racist cops, etc. has taken much of their power away.

What an absolute piece of shit.

They were:

1. Warned ahead of time they couldn't film there
2. Tried to do it anyway.
3. Got indignant when they were forced to follow the rules like a bunch of fucking children.
4. Then claim the service member had "mental health issues" like that somehow makes them not in the right, assuming it's even true (which it almost certainly isn't).
5. Claim they're going to release footage of the incident, but then never do (likely because it's exactly as bad as you'd think).

Our dead servicemen and women are not your fucking pawn piece for your shit stain campaign, asshole.

I look forward to seeing Kamala curb stomp his sorry ass in the general election.

Yes

A backup camera and an Android Auto/Apple CarPlay head unit radio that sounds decent. That's all I want in a car for "tech" that isn't a safety feature. Everything else can go.

I'm with you right until you said "Public Utility". I'd say just burn it down.

Don't forget about Hulk "the brain damage" Hogan.

And Switch. And anything Retroarch supports.

The Steam Deck is amazing.

Yeah I could see socialized rental housing. I think socialized rental with individual privatized ownership of things like Single Family/Townhouse Homes would work. Cheap housing for rentals while you save to buy a home.

Home ownership is an important part of building wealth in America, so unless there is a radical shift or we go significantly more socialist in many categories, it'll still be necessary for individuals to be able to buy a home.

I work for a company in Texas, USA. We actively discourage Windows being used in our organization and push people to use macOS or Linux.

In your mind, though, who would own and operate apartments, townhouses, and single family homes that are for rent?

I'm open to an opposing argument and curious about what solution you'd propose.

Landlords are fine. Corporations should be banned from owning single-family homes and be forced to stick with apartments. Apartments should have rent control.

West Nile isn't spread airborne, dumbass.
