There is no such thing. If you think Gates, Buffet, or Cuban is on your side, you've fallen for the propaganda.

Well, they sent me a letter a few years back saying the loan had been forgiven since I'd owner-occupied the home for a decade, so now the only other entity that might claim to own it is the creditor for my regular first mortgage. And the state (in the sense that my title is 'fee simple' and not 'allodial' so I'm still subject to things like taxes and eminent domain), I guess.

Yes, I also read it as the attack on Gaza being the thing described as incompatible with Jewish values. I almost downvoted the guy's comment before I realized he misread it.

The oligarchs can't win on the merits of their policies, so they desperately resort to identity politics to try to divide us.

That sounds less like clickbait and more an object lesson in the importance of copyleft to me.

The only danger is if one of them pulls an RFK and drops lastinute to endorse the other.

100% chance, IMO.

despite because of

FTFY.

I'm concerned about either that or another right-wing domestic terrorist assassinating him.

I'm disappointed that Pornhub is apparently capitulating instead of blocking access entirely in protest, like they've done in other jurisdictions.

I mean, sure, that's very funny, but please don't help feed the right-wing lie falsely equating democratic socialism with communism.

Apparently, Atlanta is doing it.[1]

I'm an Atlantan and this is the first I'm hearing of it. Neat!

Reading the article, though, it's really just that the city is subsidizing a private business (and in one of the two cases, acting as its landlord) in order to create an incentive to open in a food desert, not actually getting into the business of operating a grocery store directly itself.

I mean, I got a loan from Invest Atlanta to help with the down payment on my house, but that doesn't mean the city owns my house or that it's some kind of 'government housing.'

My fiance is a K cup.

Eww, how can you stand to be with someone that consumerist and wasteful? You should dump her for a French press. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

They believe "constitutional" means that thing they do on the toilet each morning.

Not caramel; butterscotch. That stuff can be made to harden the same way the chocolate coating does.

Even the vanilla versions of those things have a chocolate shell coating on the top, not just inside the cone. You would've known what it was about way before you got to that last part.

(If that isn't true for the ones you buy, I want to know what weird, obscure brand you're talking about.)

To be fair, though, coating the cone with some other flavor (butterscotch, maybe) could be a neat idea.

Side note: lemmy doesn’t tend to censor the word suicide, or kill themselves. It’s okay to use actual terms if you want. Not saying you have to, just that it’s allowed.

I would go so far as to say you should use the actual terms, in order to counter the societal chilling effect of the other platforms' censorship.

Practical use: if you didn't know other characters' or NPCs' sexual orientation before (and couldn't just ask them and trust the answer for some reason), you could find it out by casting the spell and checking for rainbow eyes.

EVs were a political issue long before Tesla was a thing. It goes all the way back to the GM EV1 and "Who Killed the Electric Car".

I thought they were for preventing people from being able to see into the hatchback area without having to cut the cargo capacity in half with a parcel shelf.

I want all my programs all in one place, and all in the start menu, listed alphabetically. I want a center where I can push a button to update them, or mod them, or uninstall them, or even open them (if for some reason the start menu wasn't working for some reason). I want it all in one centralized manager app. Call it whatever the fuck you want. But it should handle wine exe installs, flatpaks, sudo apt-get install, AppImages, and.....sigh, yes, even snaps. If you can install it, this manager should handle it, including being able to click a checkbox that says "add to start menu". You can uncheck it if for some reason you DON'T want a program on your start menu, but it should give you the option.

Should it also handle RPM, pkgtool, pkgsrc, nixpkg, Portage, Homebrew, PyPI, NPM, CPAM, CLTN, CTAN, .jar, and software installed from source via ./configure; make; make install?

On the other hand, instead of putting all the responsibility on the GNOME shell devs (and the devs of every other application launcher) to support every software packaging format under the sun, maybe it would be better to put the responsibility on the people packaging each application to conform to the Freedesktop.org desktop entry specification.

I'm not saying your complaint isn't valid, BTW. Linux's lack of a central authority to dictate how things should work does inherently cause some problems that we basically just have to suck up and accept in the name of freedom.

But the point I'm trying to make is that, while Linux may not do something the way you would expect coming from Windows, that doesn't mean it doesn't [try to] solve the problem in a different way. The more you can let go of your Windows-familiarity-based "intuition" of how things should work, the better off you'll be.

(Speaking of which: one reason you can't find the equivalent of "Program Files" is that the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard collates programs' files by type—executables go in bin, configuration files go in etc, and so on—instead of collating per application with all of its files together in a single directory. This has advantages and disadvantages that you may or may not care about, but one design isn't necessarily clearly superior to the other in all cases.)
