As we push more average Windows users to Linux, we need to be prepared for these users to download and run completely untrusted code.

Wait…is this how I’m learning that another conservative asshole died?

Yup

1000 single family homes is a lot. That doesn’t include multi-unit buildings like apartments.

Corporations shouldn’t own any single family homes.

I don’t want to make perfection the enemy of good here so if say this is a step in the right direction to introduce some level of control. But it needs to go much further than simply restricting the totally number of houses they can own.

She’s still a bad billionaire. The only way she stops being a bad billionaire is to stop being a billionaire.

I’ve met some cis women who exclusively shop in the men’s department because the clothes are cheaper and sized sanely.

They don’t care that their buttons are “on the wrong side” so long as they have pockets.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

Honestly, civil forfeiture has as much legal protection as qualified immunity.

I want to see democratic AGs actually do this.

Yes, they are using a similar model to Microsoft and open sourcing Firefox code under the MPL while distributing the executable under a new Terms of Service.

Firefox (the executable) is no longer considered FOSS since they can revoke your license at anytime. I posted a comment that details my personal view of this change.

TL;DR: they would have only done this if they planned on farming user data. And last month announced that they intend to do just that.

I mean…Firefox has gone from open source to source available. Other alternatives exist for Firefox that still hold the user as the customer and not as the product.

I personally use Waterfox.

1000% agree.

If you’re in your 20s, start building good habits now. Your future self will thank you.

Finish cops probably don’t have qualified immunity.

They aren’t lying per se. They are seeing what kind of narrative they can get away with.

The lies are not for us.

They are for their base.

A lot of GOP guys that want to bang AOC are thinking that as a conquest and not out any feelings that sex would require.

In other words, if given the opportunity to assault her, they would.

It goes perfect with the conservative mindset: I get what I want and get to suppress and treat you like shit.

Do not confuse “useful idiot” as “faith”.

I’ve said this in other comments but bares repeating: we have a lot of people willing to fight for democracy, but very few people willing to die for it.

I won’t share anything specific on what the group does (or doesn’t do) but the biggest thing that anyone within the US can do right now is to get politically involved, especially if you are white and cis.

• Find immigration attorneys and volunteer your time and talents with them
• Find LGBT+ groups and be their ally
• Volunteer at local homeless shelters, legal aid centers, etc.

You can do all of those things anonymously if you fear for your own safety. But get involved. I’ve done all of those things I listed above and I can tell you that the needs are huge. The more you make yourself known, the more people will trust you and you will be come part of the resistance.

I do. I’ve joined a collective of armed leftists. I was legit surprised that they existed.

If you own a gun, and you conceal carry, consider finding your local group and get involved.

It’s like 24, and instead of a crazy counter-terrorism guy you have a more charismatic House guy.

I’m going to push back a bit here. Because people say a lot that there is no resistance and, to your point, there isn’t any impactful resistance where it matters.

There is a world of difference between people who want to fight for what is right and people who are willing to die for what is right.

The reason we are here is because we have plenty of the former and very very little of the latter.

I do not say this lightly because I fear we are reaching a point that unless people are willing to risk their lives, we will lose our lives to fascism.

Because companies don’t serve customers. They serve shareholders.

AI is the hotness right now and every boards of directors wants to know what the company plans to do with AI.
