  • I know it's overly pedantic to say this:

    The sun can't go supernova because it hasn't finished fusing hydrogen. When it does finish, it will swell up to a red giant. This has to happen before it can explode, and the swelling process will take a very long time (in human terms).

  • Elements certainly do have defined temperatures! In this case it's the freezing temperature that matters, which for helium is... not.

  • It totally works for media. Just need a law that says, if a work is published, anyone can distribute it for the same fair licensing fee. That's the way "cover" music works - any cover band can play any other musician's work. Nobody can refuse them that right. Then the venue where they perform pays a flat fee to an agency for the license. This doesn't work great in music, but we could create a better model for streaming. it's not impossible.

  • As I read the first sentence of your comment, I thought i was still reading the article summary. My jaw dropped! How I wish we would see professional journalists laying out the hard truth like that!

    Thank you.

  • This is a rare case where it matters that Linux is not an operating system.

  • That may be an excuse they used, but I doubt that was really their motivation.

  • I think she was talking about removing the system of monarchy, not removing a king. The former is much harder.

  • So, you're admitting it's not about his age. It's about his wealth.

    If that's what you're saying I'm with you. Ageism is as wrong as any other bigotry.

  • The problem with Bill Maher has nothing to do with his age. He sucks, it's true, but lots of guys exactly the same age as him do not suck.

  • Because of a different Lemmy post, I'm just now trying out Orgzly. It looks terrific so far, and I think it meets all your needs. It stores everything in plain text, so you just have to sync the text files.

    edit: as noptys points out, Orgzly Revived is what you want to use (and what I meant to recommend).

  • Isn't that not supposed to happen?

  • Thank you sooo much, good bot! I use a vpn (as everyone should) and you make it possible for me to get news through Lemmy. I appreciate you so much!

  • He's not the only one, but they are few. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger come to mind.

  • Nope. He didn't manage that.

  • This article was pretty much exactly what its headline said. It is mostly extensive quotes from Shawn Fain, which could aptly be described as "slamming" Trump.

  • Indeed, dems screwed themselves. But he was impeccably honorable, and resigned because he couldn't possibly be effective any more. Not his fault, but also nothing he could do to fix it.

    Menendez keeps saying he is innocent, but that is irrelevant. He is no longer useful as a senator, and he should resign.

  • Innocent until proven guilty is about whether he goes to jail. He should resign from the because he can no longer fulfill his duties effectively.

    Take a cue from Al Franken, ffs.
