Basically it’s been demonstrated writ large that our governing body doesn’t have any actual teeth or intent to hold themselves accountable to the law. There are laws against this shit. It isn’t some milquetoast thing that needs to go through litigation. Putting this type of shit on government websites is explicitly illegal due to the Hatch Act.

But the imcompetence of our government is the point. They want everyone to give up on the federal government so that corporations have no watchdogs against their bullshit. You already see everyone calling for (but not taking any concrete action towards) revolution, rather than looking for ways to fix up what we have/had.

On top of that, somehow the majority of Americans have completely forgotten the art of effective non-violent protesting, the sheer amount of work and coordination needed for a successful movement, the work of managing the public face of a resistance movement, and being prepared to have the absolute shit beat out of you for a cause. I can only speculate that it’s due to long term manipulation of media and history curriculum.

The 60s weren’t so long ago that all of this knowledge should have been so entirely lost.

bestie, it is time to get tested

You’re going to get me thrown out of church for cackling.

There’s plenty of arguments for emotional dysregulation, forgetting what was going on, and impulsiveness.

“SHOW YOUR DEVOTION TO ME! KILL YOUR SON! Wait. Wait. Wait! Shit I changed my mind”

“Those bastards are using my temple as a market? I’m so angry I’ll… I’ll… whip you with my shoe leather! Fuckers!”

When the baby is that small, it’s the perfect time to do stuff like this. You have to be “on call” if they need you, but they spend 90% of the time sleeping. So just hold them or have them strapped to you and do your thing!

I got caught up on so many shows during the first few days when my daughter was still nocturnal, and I know my wife beat a few games she had on the back burner.

I’ve slowly built up the ability to feel accomplishment for some tasks, but it’s still far more fleeting than it seems to be for nuerotypicals.

It’s mostly spite driven too, which I don’t think is healthy. “Fuck you Microsoft! I’m better!” “Fuck you software vendor! I’m better!”

They may not want to fully wipe sda, there’s a mounted partition- sda4

More like “not looking at the community before you comment”

If you’re on PC, there’s a mod for that. Can filter by lifepath or character.

Yes, that’s something we all should be doing, but that won’t stop this from effecting you.

Google is trying to make a change so that all apps will have to have their creator show their identity to Google so they can be installed. This specifically applies to sideloaded apks. That means it applies to everything from sketchy random apks, to github, to F-Droid.

There’s no way to work around it (if it even can be) until Google rolls it out so custom ROMs can reverse engineer it to offer an option to disable.

Even if it can be disabled on the phone’s end, that now cuts your potential userbase so dramatically that it’s going to gut the open source software scene on android. Either give in to Google (so goodbye high school student devs, people from not ok countries, or people making shit Google doesn’t like), or enjoy your potential userbase of maybe a few thousand people who have the custom rom(s) with a workaround, resulting in an actual userbase of maybe one hundred.

Welcome to the new global military industrial complex, where Palantir masturbates using international militaries pitched against each other.

Republicans are traditionally, and on paper, the party of “small government”. “Fuck off feds, it’s none of your business” type shit. Some just wanted a small central government that let states and local government make their own choices, some wanted as small a government as possible at all levels.

Which is also why you see a minority of old school republican voters refusing to call Trump’s clown show republican. And why I personally got so upset watching all the republican pearl clutching about homosexuality. How in the fuck is that anyone’s business?

That capitalization style is meant to be mocking, because the current dipshits in power clearly don’t have any intentions of “small government”.

As someone who works as a sysadmin/systems engineer in a Windows environment, I find your analogy is a bit extreme. Not denying the issue, it’s a constant frustration and problem. It’s just that I find you can get a lot farther than most people think.

So less “hood’s welded shut” and more “Why the fuck are the headlights a single unit? I just need to fix the high beams! Why is the transmission welded shut? Who in the fuck wired the radio and power steering together? And why in the hell is none of this documented anywhere?” Maybe that’s worse, tbh. You can get very deep, but most of it is horrors.

I swear a huge part of it is the action economy. You have four people vs 12. If you aren’t taking out like one each turn you end up in a slow ass death spiral.

The game also expects you to do a shit ton of the side content, but doesn’t always sign post it well, and it also clearly has an idea of the order the side content should be tackled in that there’s no sign posting for at all.

I can see the bones of a great game, but I don’t understand why I don’t see more people complaining about the abysmal combat balance.

Isn’t the pebble watch getting a re-release? Might be neat to tinker with. There’s also a conversion kit thing for one of the classic digital casio watches. Both are tinkering friendly and open source.

Yeah, this Saudi deal was not a smart move to do when they finally have a competitor (inzoi) after decades of being the only game in town, so to speak.

Admins will still have ways to remove illegal content, right? I checked the pull request but it’s a little light on details for someone not involved with the inner workings.

Lol, exactly.

And for a completely unasked for ramble: Someone better call the cops because my wife is over a decade older than me. Causes some minor mess here and there in the relationship, but nothing major. Almost every relationship worth having will have some mess now and then.

Dead or Alive is the name of a videogame series, not talking about his status.

There’s also someone, or some people, clearly practicing their creative writing or something. Usually they make an account, post something weird to asklemmy or a similar community, and then delete it within 4 hours or so.

Usually it’s a “stupid” or obvious question, with some vaguely contreversial twist. Like “My boyfriend has problems with how many guys I’ve fucked… but I also used to be a sex worker”. Stuff that’s within the realm of possible, but not particularly common, or where you’d expect the asker to already be aware of the answer/reason.

They get a few hours of engagement, most of the time don’t engage in the comments, then delete the whole thing.

Regarding your edit, you can’t do both. None of the lemmy UIs or apps make it clear, but it’s URL or image, image takes priority, and then you can put whetever you want in the body text of the post.

No clue why it’s not been made clear in any of the web uis or apps. I spend too much time here and see it multiple times a day.

This is a common mistake that and it’s dumb that none of the UIs (or apparently any of the apps) make clear, but a post can only have an image or a link as its main thing and image takes priority, losing the link. They’re mutually exclusive.

You can do whatever you want in the body text, having multiple images and links etc, but only one or the other for the “main post item”.

OP needs to just put the link in the body text.
