  • By law he can only be Governor of California for two terms, so somebody has to replace him. On a quick glance, no Republican has won a state-wide election here since Arnold Schwarzenegger, and I found only one other since the 90s. A more conservative Democrat is a possibility, but I'm not worried a Republican would win here.

  • Personally being found guilty of a crime isn't the standard the Constitution lays out in section 3 of the 14th amendment though. Did his actions give aid or comfort to Enrique Tarrio or the other J6 insurrectionists who have been found guilty of seditious conspiracy? To my reading, that triggers disqualification.

    The courts can't disqualify him either, they can recognize him as having already been disqualified (or not).

  • I feel like a lot of it is really trivial stuff. Like if he shilled for homeopathic flu "medicine", then told people to wash their hands regularly during flu season, that's a 50% hit rate

  • Employees of the federal government generate IP that generally goes into the public domain. States can decide whether their employees, or municipalities ' employees' IP goes into the public domain or not. By default, it does not, and from briefly looking into it, it seems most states accept the default, and very few put it into the public domain, or allow for broad use of state-generated IP.

    It makes sense, and it isn't a rule narrowly targeted at mugshots, but I'm not sure how to interpret it as a good thing. More government workers' IP going into the public domain seems like it would better serve the public interest. Even if it allows Trump to do nonsense like this.

  • Lawful doesn't necessarily mean following the laws of a state, but adherence to order and hierarchy. Buying politicians to bureaucratically stack the deck in one's favor is compatible with lawful evil, for someone upholding a hierarchy in which they're (supposed to be) on top.

    If it's more driven by greed than ideology, it's probably more neutral evil.

  • It's not even totally fair, the companies have lots of data on habits, economy of scale, peering, while the pirates have a questionable reputation, risk of law enforcement action, technical hurdles slowing adoption, and delayed access to media. Pirates' only real advantages are lack of pressure towards unsustainable growth, and lower costs.

    The companies fighting against each other are losing an unfair fight tilted in their favor. It's kind of embarrassing for them.

  • What needs to happen for you to be confident you won't get in legal trouble, and thus unblock them? Change on the db0 side? Lemmy.world admins getting legal representation/advice? Something else? I'm curious how you all see this playing it out in the future.

  • The worst part is how they make it nearly impossible to create a local user account. It's fine to have alternative account types, but that's not what I want on my own machine.

  • My preschool class took a field trip to our local children's museum, which was a very tactile experience, so they really emphasized that you could touch anything there. My three year old brain wanted to know what happened when I touched the fire alarm. I understand shortly after they changed that emphasis: you could touch almost anything there.

  • Muscle is like 15% denser than fat, and you might also be building muscle in different parts of your body than where you're losing fat. Depending on the job, I assume this is either in your arms or lower legs. You can take a few extra measurements to check this if you're interested.

  • I (mostly) returned to working in the office as soon as I could. For a few months it was great; almost zero traffic, relatively few distractions while I worked, with all of the upsides and few downsides. And I'd see people once in a while, and catch up. It was great. Now with people being expected to come in more, traffic and distractions are way up, fueled in large part by people who would rather be working more from home.

  • Just like writing it in pure CSS and JavaScript would be showing OP's ability to use those tools, and showcasing how creative they are. (Or aren't, I guess.) Everything is built out of something, and the point of a portfolio is to show off what tools the creator is good at using to make things. Whatever it is they want to show off, they should use that skill to make a cool portfolio.

  • Designers want to get promoted, or get good bonuses for having impact. Product Managers are similarly incentivized to make changes, to improve some metric that they believe helps their business. If these structures exist, and the people making changes don't understand what the users want, or their incentives are misaligned... it's inevitable

  • The question was whether voters in moderately-red Ohio would vote to curtail their voting rights to practically ensure that abortion rights wouldn't be enshrined in their constitution. I'm glad to see the answer is "No, and it isn't close".
