The failing was decades and centuries ago that led to this. Power has been consolidating in the presidency since the constitution was signed as the legislature and courts are happy to give more and more of their power over to the executive.
We’ve only been protected by being lucky having presidents and their staff with genuine care for the intent of the constitution.
This was only a matter of time. It wasn’t our fault. This is America.
Why would an optional feature be a deal breaker?
It also seems like an issue that could be easily solved by whitelisting.
The man wants to make deals, right, so make a deal. (warning I’m an American and know just enough about Canadian government to be dangerous)
“Join” the United States of America under these conditions:
Please make this deal. Our governments are all too old to work great in this age but maybe we can forge a new design fit for the 2000s if we erase most of it and start fresh.
I think what is happening is that Ukraine believes that signing the deal will result in a range of outcomes from neutral to positive, depending how and when the US renegs on their side of it. But without the deal the outcomes range from neutral to very negative, so making the deal is the clear right move even if you believe it won’t do anything.
The protests didn’t make nearly any national news. Hope the next ones go better.
That’s part of their plan. They start by more aggressively tracking down, arresting, and deporting the people with the most severe criminal records who have probably been already already convicted of a deportable offense. They can go around saying how they’ve got these actual criminals that “Biden allowed to stay” and be telling enough of the truth that it works.
The next step is to start going after people with mild criminal records, maybe shoplifting or an assault charge from a bar fight. People who wouldn’t normally be eligible to deport. People who are here maybe legally maybe not.
Then they start revoking legal status from people by just accusing them of petty crimes and deporting them without due process. This is what the new law they just passed with Democrats support allows the government to do now.
Sure, but we aren’t quite at Cuban missile crisis levels of heat either.
I’m soooo sorry I didn’t specify that it would need to be invoked against a significant nation-state and that a concept like terrorism doesn’t count. I understand that could be very confusing otherwise.
It’s just the second cold war. You’ll know WW3 started when NATO invokes Article 5. Until then, it’s all just proxies.
In the first cold war there were proxy wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc. Now it’s Ukraine and Israel/Syria/Lebanon.
I’ve ridden Amtrak but I’ve also seen videos about how Via Rail is basically unusable. Amtrak has improved significantly in the past decade as well, while Via seemingly regressed (again, Via info is based on other people’s experiences, not mine).
Hooooboy is Via Rail going to impress you with how terrible it can be.
You better get out those tissues. They’re already starting https://www.lg.com/us/smart-monitors
Sony. I got last year’s open box for close to 1k. It runs Android so I have a ad free launcher called Projectivy and can sideload apps as well.
It’s got a compact view that is pretty much why I’d be using if I started. I think it makes sense to default to the “cozy” view, even if that is the most bass ackwards naming I’ve seen. The reason being is that “most” people prefer that view and are the same people that wouldn’t bother looking for a setting to change, they’d just nope on out because they got overwhelmed.
Default “cozy” in desktop mode
“compact” in desktop mode
I think compact looks decent in mobile view as well, but since the parent post is about desktop UI that’s what I’m showing.
I’m pretty sure “apple mail” refers to the Mail app on iPhones and Macs, not the email address. There’s probably tons of people using Gmail addresses with the Apple Mail app.
Don’t forget the current supreme court motto though: “rules for thee but not for me”. Only massive and rich corporations will be allowed around copyright rules, but you and I and indie and open source will be held to the letter of the law.
Plex has started to enshittify as well. I switched to jellyfin because Plex had features behind pay walls and kept going “oops I accidentally changed your settings so you have to look at the plex home screen with ads for our streaming service”.
Caltrian is not California High Speed Rail
No shot 4 SSDs will be the same price as a HDD of the same capacity yet. HDD is still the king of GB/$.
If I’m wrong… Can you send me some links? I could use some cheap 8TB SSDs.
Few people mean this literally. We all know covid is still around and will be quite possibly forever. What it means, depending on context is “during covid lockdowns” or “during covid restrictions” or really just 2020.
It’s not a pandemic anymore, it’s endemic now. Get both your shots every year now. Covid isn’t the new flu, it’s flu’s new buddy.
