We were forced to withdraw our application and turn down the funding, thanks to new language that was added to the agreement requiring us to affirm that we “do not, and will not during the term of this financial assistance award, operate any programs that advance or promote DEI, or discriminatory equity ideology in violation of Federal anti-discrimination laws.”
This was not an option for us.
Hell yeah, PSF!
And I just built a PiKVM -_-
If before you’ve even finished a project you’ve already decided part of it won’t be included in the original project unless the user pays extra, that’s the definition of scummy.
I believe it, only because that’s a pretty low bar lol. I’ll play it when I can 🏴☠️🦜 it.
The Pokemon game that locked features and Pokemon behind paid DLC released alongside the game revitalized the franchise? Fuck that. I’ve bought every Pokemon game since Red and every console to play them on, but it’ll be a cold day in hell before I give them more money when they’re just going to use to sue smaller developers and while letting fascists co-opt their music and imagery.
Love when a random song pops in my head and I have no idea why until it get to the lyrics that are extremely relevant to whatever’s going on at the moment. It’s eerie as hell, though.
"TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring an image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok” "
The violation notice from tiktok:
“Part of the joy of TikTok is coming across new and unexpected content. But the platform is not a place to intentionally shock, upset, or disgust others. We recognize this type of content may be triggering, cause psychological harm, or lead to extreme discomfort.”
No surprises here, Tiktok has long been a tool of fascism.
Wym? Stingray devices work and they’re being actively utilized against the public.
Please take it from me. I and many others have also carelessly bet on RAID as a backup and lost. I know storage is expensive but you’ve got to at least back up the important things.
Didn’t realize they announced before even starting production. Bold move, let’s see if it pans out. I’ve looked forward to way too many films that wound up suffocating in development hell.
Uhhh 2+2=22
There are no facial cues or vocal inflections with text only communication so dumb additions are generally helpful and no less cringe than an lol or emoji.
It’s just like the oversexualization of our natural forms. By taking away something that leaves those who have it with a commodity to sell.
What a shock that must be for him.
Many years ago I got banned from r/conservative for asking where exactly conservation came into play as part of their ideology. On its face, being conservative sounds awesome. I want to conserve this planet’s ecology. I want to conserve human rights. I have never seen any conservative American politician in the last thirty some-odd years try to conserve anything. It would be much more apt to call them regressionists, but they’re so much worse than that.
But since you willingly identify yourself as a conservative, and you’re here, what is your take?
Edit: After reading through your other responses… Never mind. I can see you are more a literalist when it comes to the definition of the word conservative, but that is not and has never been what the political ideology has been for or about. Your attempts to make it something it’s not may be noble, if not misguided when you could just associate yourself with the people who believe in the same things you do.
I’m not sure it’s possible to put it all back together again even if it’s possible to put dems in charge.
We crossed this threshold on day 3.
Negative. Had a Plex server and lifetime pass forever and I didn’t receive squat.
Are you alright?
