The buyer of chrome could make bing the default search engine and re-enable whatever broke Ublock origin (the ad blocker)

They could also cripple gapps and gmail a bit. It would also be harder for google to unilaterally develop new web standards.

That would no doubt consternate a few at Google and knee cap them forcing web shit down our throats that only improves their ad business.

Me too but here's one useful function:

Perhaps you are aware there is an ongoing event, say for example a football game, or an election, or an outage of your email service provider. You go to one of these "scream into the void" social sites, search on the topic, and learn what people are saying about it. Maybe someone knows what's really going on, maybe some of those people have some interesting insights and you engage with them, not unlike you and I are engaging right now. Others can observe, perhaps contribute, and after the event has concluded, everyone goes their own way. Hopefully in the end the interactions are beneficial for all.

Those kind of things have to be done in every single district and costs millions of dollars. Unless there's a probable chance, it's probably better to save the cash and use it for something that could get results in the future

There was only one, we're all still copying from him or her.

I too cannot read "MTG" as anything other than Magic: The Gathering

Where's this yhwh library, can I install it with pip? Seems like it could have potential for some of my projects.

I think there are two answers to this. First, there is a long standing tradition in the US that the new guy doesn't put the old guy in jail.

Look at so many other countries and so much of world history to see how that style of governing is problematic to the transfer of power from one regime to the next and why it causes its own set of problems.

The second, and arguably the most important, is that the American people as a whole can elect whoever the fuck they want to be president, no matter what any mid level beurocrat, judge, lawmaker or even current president or other official says about the issue, even if said person is in jail at the time.

The law and its punishments should still apply to all, including the president and former presidents, however.

Especially if you did it only 45 times or so at $45 invested and got $26,500 back a day after the election

So Musk's investment in election interference of what, a million bucks a day? towards bribing people to vote now looks like an utter pittance relative to what he made back in just one day.

Of course these guys know that investing in elections has a good ROI.

I've never really spent much time with uv, I'll give it a try. It seems like it takes a few steps out of the process and some guesswork too.

Python developer here. Venv is good, venv is life. Every single project I create starts with

python3 -m venv venv

source venv/bin/activate

pip3 install {everything I need}

pip3 freeze > requirements.txt

Now write code!

Don't forget to update your requirements.txt using pip3 freeze again anytime you add a new library with pip.

If you installed a lot of packages before starting to develop with virtual environments, some libraries will be in your OS python install and won't be reflected in pip freeze and won't get into your venv. This is the root of all evil. First of all, don't do that. Second, you can force libraries to install into your venv despite them also being in your system by installing like so:

pip3 install --ignore-installed mypackage

If you don't change between Linux and windows most libraries will just work between systems, but if you have problems on another system, just recreate the whole venv structure

rm -rf venv (...make a new venv, activate it) pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Once you get the hang of this you can make Python behave without a lot of hassle.

This is a case where a strength can also be a weakness.

He seems to lack competence in many ways, but some of the guys around him are a whole lot more conniving and potentially effective.

It's also not likely Trump feels any urge to hire a somewhat moderate(ish) cabinet of professionalls like he did last time. I assume he learned his lesson given that they all eventually turned on him.

So let's see. I think he's spent the past 4 years surrounding himself with some bad hombres, to borrow a saying, and now he's ready to act with fewer guardrails.

You were told this?

Like the angry matrons in cookie clicker 🍪

This case is a pretty good example of how even though you might win a lawsuit against somebody for a lot of money, it doesn't necessarily mean you will get any money.

Getting a judgment is the first part. Collecting is like doing the whole thing over again.

Could build a reverse proxy to mask Lemmy links behind something that seems more legit

I really wonder how they get a representative sample these days. I haven't answered my phone for years and I'm surely not the only one.

Do they only call, or do they send DMs on TikTok or what?

And if you work for a company that supports causes you don't agree with... Move on.
