It's 2024 and congress still wants people to come in to the office to raise their hand.

because it probably can’t get less bulky and look less dorky,

Airpods are probably one of the ugliest pieces of tech ove seen in the last decade and yet somehow it doesn't seem to matter. Never overestimate apple's customer base.

Not just the attack, but he actively tried to secretly replace electors in states as well. We literally know he tried to cheat and are like, "it's fine".

The problem with a lot of originalist shit is that the people talking about it just selectively apply it where they want. The supreme court will happily apply common law right up until you point out judges in it being tried for corruption. Then suddenly their wars turn off and judicial immunity has just existed forever.

Tech needs to unionize. The only way to fight this is just to have the entire workforce walk out.

Walled gardens are inherantly designed to exclude communities and drive classism. Want to view this picture? Sorry you can't because you dsint pay the fee. Want to chat with this group? Sorry were going to make inconvienent to everyone involved that you didn't pay the fee.

The end goal is to split people up into have and have nots in order to drive desire for your product with little thougt given to the poorer communies it disenfranchises. Your attitude is the boomer "fuck you. Got mine" one.

I don't think people like the walled garden. I think they don't know what it is even. They assume they can't buy a competitors headset/watch/tv because it won't work, and often they're probably right because apple refuses use open protocols. But I don't think they draw the line between the two. It's not because of apple refusing to implement something it doesn't work. It's because "the competitor is bad", or because they don't have the "deep integration" between the two or something. It never occurs to them that if you just make the API public it suddenly "just works" for everyone.

Genuinely curious, do real people actually use ipads?

I thought this was disallowed by the app store.

Even that seems kinda half ass in this version. Like you think you'd be able to drag a window from your monitor outside the monitor. Instead, it just... Shows your monitor again.

I am not the target market for this device though. I'm not really sure who is, beyond the diehard apple people.

I do find it funny how quickly apple pr moves from the "when they do something they do it right" to "well this is first gen so we expect it has some flaws".

No one created those though. The supreme court just made them up. It's the same thing you've been seeing in these recent discounted trans lawsuits. Despite the constitution explicitly being amended to allow it, the supreme court literally has said "oh, you cant sue states for civil rights violations. You've just got no recourse there. Good luck!"

I'm super curious if they nominated Haley how it would go, but democrats didn't do much better. When there is a woman on the ballot the bar suddenly gets shot to the moon.

I dont think there's any need to give the benefit of the doubt to these people anymore. You might argue they believe LGBTQ people shouldn't exist, and I might believe you, but I tend to think their main motivation is just stirring up anger and resentment against the "other side".

If people were concerned about privacy or safety, the us would have single user bathrooms or at least stalls that didn't have 1in gaps around the doors (my 90s high school didn't have stall doors at all, and in some bathrooms didn't even have stalls, just a toilet next to the sink in the locker room). The same people aren't upset about those things, because they don't actually care about any of this.

Isn't the Florida case in alignment with the Chicago one? The courts ruled for the transgender kid in both.

I'm just shocked to learn that Siri has (had) a quality control team.

I get these pages from time to time here in Thailand on Google. I always think it's because of some nerfarious people here, but this makes me suspicious it's just a bunch of Americans using vpns.

I've heard it's just more of a burocracy thing. A friend there once told me he always puts the date wrong on the top of documents because there is a person who's job is to double check your work. They're judged on how often they find mistakes, so it's easier to put something blatantly wrong at the top that easily fixed so they can quickly find it and he can move on.

Cultures who use bidets and not the bum gun will always confuse me. Ones a robot strapped to the toilet that does a medicore job at one thing, then other is a cheap water gun you can use for all sorts of shit (pun intended).

He showed up at a pro Palestinian protest to try and dox the students there. They asked him to leave. He ignored them and was then escorted out. People did not say nice things to him.

I'm not sure there was a lot to punish.

I start d (slowly) reading this and... Is this how legal briefs are written? It seems like a reddit blog post. For instance in the examples section they write "SJp ... is one of the most vitriolic antisemitic networks on college campuses. SJP was founded by the chairman of American Muslims for Palestine (“AMP”), the leadership of which overlaps with the leadership of organizations that have been shut down by federal authorities, whose assets were frozen by the U.S. Treasury Department, or that were found liable in civil actions for providing material support to Hamas. SJP receives funding and training from AMP as well as from universities. SJP and its affiliates sponsor antisemitic events, host antisemitic speakers..." All of which I'm reading expecting a citation somewhere... Anywhere. It seems like easily verifiable stuff. But there is none. Is this how legal briefs are written?
