The 2nd is most definitely a recommendation that they tread pretty damn lightly with this one.

The problem is that undocumented (and also illiterate) people rarely have enough power or money to fight back.

But… The Bill of Rights protects everyone, including undocumented immigrants.

On first glance this guy has a whole lot of ideas that sound unhinged.

What do his supporters think? That we can trust what we can’t test more than what we can?

Congress can take the power to set tariffs away from the president. But will they? Highly doubtful.

Yeah yeah, I know this is a meme community but I assume you’re here like me because you identify.

So try this:

Step #1: Disconnect away from brainrot and “the algorithm” (few hrs or a few days - completely disconnecting takes about a week) so the cursed feeling of “I should be doing something but I’m not and I feel bad” goes away.

Step #2: Rejuvenate: do an activity that will actually make you physically and mentally healthier. Go outside, learn something, be social, accomplish something, write something, etc. You know you, so do that thing…

After you get into step 2 can you’ll begin to recharge so you can deal with stuff again.

Access to the domestic American market is what made most of these guys billionaires in the first place.

But the laws don’t require them to return the favor.

A sensible solution would be to find a way to make the loopholes more expensive than returning some of those spoils in the form of some kind of tax.

Ideally that tax would create a positive feedback loop such as free higher education or other benefits to humanity that would continue to make the USA a better place to live and survive.

If the tax is too high or is used in a way that seems frivolous to the rich they will fight it so hard that it could never succeed.

I say eighteen six fifty.

agree, the ‘standard’ is inconsistent. Perhaps we need to make a new standard.

Op delivers: the venerable 40135 with a banana for scale

bonus: 40135 with girlfriend for scale (I think she’s impressed)

If anybody is interested I’ll post a 40135 next to a banana for scale

Here in Bangkok they are allowed on all the trains if they can be folded.

Usually the ticket guard makes you fold it up on entering but afterwards you can reopen of it’s easier to roll around that way. Makes getting around the city really easy.

This. Your data is stored in .md text files so even if Obidian somehow stopped being the best your data is so easy to move around.

Also add to your list mega.nz works for syncing Obsidian across many systems.

TIL, thanks for the insight. This is as it should be and Google can deal with it no problem.

I think most search engines are not optimized for this. I’m sure it’s changing but might take some time.

Google historically penalizes duplicate content and selects one source as canonical, usually whichever domain is the most authoritative. When it comes to lemmy, whichever instance hosts the community should probably be the canonical source.

Fascinating… I knew some of this and it is indeed troubling.

It seems that Brave’s mission is actually about generating revenue by any method possible (including manipulation of end users) more than anything to do with privacy.

If you’re cool with all that then Brave is for you I guess.

I used mailspring for about 6 months because I love the idea and it looks beautiful. But when you check the forums you see people are complaining about major bugs that seemed to remain unfixed for eternity, developer never comments.

Is this pronounced:

Photo-PEE

Or

Harvard has something like 52 billion dollars in endowment. It could afford to pay for all students tuition from just the return on the endowment.

I know we’re in a meme community but this did get me thinking… Not only is the Earth spinning but it’s also in an orbit around the Sun which is also orbiting around the center of the Milky Way which is moving through space relative to other galaxies and so on.

Do we have enough information to calculate a position in space in the future for Earth without a fixed reference other than current point?

Because spinning disks are a bit cheaper than SSD?
