There are communities across the US where citizens are requesting data centers. These forums are open to the public and often recorded. You can do a simple search and find countless articles and then from there find minutes and voting records.
I would start there
Learned about it from this episode of the Team Human podcast
But what is happening in Hong Kong is they come up with a slogan, which is translated as Do Not Split, which is, we know that some people are willing to be confrontational with riot police.
And when they are, that’s going to cost the state in terms of not only resources, but it’s going to cost the state in terms of political capital and support. And we know that there are some people who are not willing to do that. And we are going to abide by the protocol of Do Not Split, which means that we’re not going to criticize them openly, and they’re not going to criticize us openly.
If we’re the pacifists, we’re not going to have them criticize us for being sort of like, I don’t know, limpid or flaccid or not courageous or whatever. And we’re not going to criticize them for being more confrontational. And the thing is that the support is also tacit.
It’s not like they have to come out and tell the media, oh, we approve of our more sort of confrontational colleagues. They just keep quiet. They just keep quiet.
Understanding that a range of tactics is probably going to be necessary. Nobody really knows what’s going to work. But if everybody’s pushing back against a particularly violent state, then everybody’s really on the same side.

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?
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”.
MOD ACTION: I’m locking this post. It’s gone off the rails a bit.
This is it right here.
Though of course they don’t think this way.
Conservatives want to oppress. They believe everyone is equal until it interferes with their desire to oppress others. They would rather suffer themselves then lose the ability to be openly racist.
