I was today years old when I learned that you can run a custom WM on a Mac.

That's like....the equivalent of a coca cola soda machine dispensing Pepsi.

And in terms of down votes, I don't really care too much. It evens out overtime.

I'm so fucking tired of hearing about a living wage.

I want a thriving wage! If that means that janitors and whoever the fuck conservatives want to shit on make $40-50 dollars and hour, so be it.

Wages have been so stagnant that I want a labor market and not a job market.

Switching licenses to future versions doesn't invalidate previous versions released under GPL.

I'm not a lawyer but I deal with OSS licenses for work and I don't know if there's ever been a case like this, that I can think of anyway.

Their previous versions, still being under the GPL, would require them to release a change to make it usable on desktops. Again, I'm not a lawyer here but there is a lot of case law behind the GPL and I think the user who made the issue could take them to court to force them to make the change if they don't respond in 30 days.

As much as I want to use F-Droid, my work blocks all third party app stores so it's either have access to my work stuff on one phone (via profiles) or dual wield two phones.

I lack the patience to dual wield again. It's very annoying.

I'm going to lower the bar:

If the government issues any sort of indictment in the next 3 weeks, I'll agree that they are taking it seriously. Even without bail.

Iirc, once reported, the project has 30 days to remedy or they are in violation of the license. They can't even release a new version with a different license since this version is out under the GPL.

May the Lord open.

This is honestly the only reason to buy a gift card especially at Costco. They often sell gift cards for 20% off their face value.

These are all good points but the biggest reason I HATE gift cards is because they offer ZERO protection.

Buy something with a credit card and you often get double warranty protection included. That something gets damaged or stolen? Also protected.

Gift cards offer none of that. Neither does cash but at least I can use cash to pay off the credit card.

I get that a gift card is more personable and it earmarks the funds for a particular store. If you like gift cards, then cheers and go about your merry way.

I've emphatically told my loved ones that I never want a gift card. You want me to use the money somewhere specific? Just say so and I'll do it.

But don't give me a script that I can only use in one place and might lose.

Fire can't go through doors. It's not a ghost!

I don't care if it's ugly so long as it's functional. I don't want a situation where they spent millions on a new truck that the post office has to use because it's built in 30 different congressional districts and the lobbyists are all shoving money down the throats of incumbents to keep it operational.

I know it's a meme but it's pretty good.

I could have sworn that there was a news story of Peloci being denied the sacrament due to her supporting an abortion bill.

Former Christian here.

This is it. Criminals have (theoretically) been proven guilty. Some crimes are worthy of death.

A fetus (ahem unborn baby) has cast no sin and does not deserve death.

Christians would also say that they would never get out to death because they would never do anything wrong but when you bring up the fact that Jesus himself said you should be willing to suffer even to the point of suffering on a cross, they start changing the subject.

I hate to say it but everything is fucking political now. Yes it sucks that it's tied to your identity but identity politics scores super easy points with conservatives because it's so much easier to point out vs the massive wealth disparities between people like Musk and you and me.

Oh no question. But even moron votes count (at least statistically speaking).

So at this point, I fully expect Harris to run a much tighter ship than she has been and Trump to increase his very violent rhetoric.

We're just a few weeks away from the election. The candidates have two different but important roles.

• Presidential candidate: keep the base in line while not alienating swing voters
• VP candidate: say things that the presidential candidate can't say

As much as you may want Harris to say something like "We will defend the trans community," it's going to alienate swing voters.

It makes no earthly sense the election is this close but it is. Kamala can't afford a misstep but Tim can.

Overturn RvW. He campaigned on this promise and he got it.

I'm not saying it as a gotcha but there are very much things he promised and he delivered on, many of which were done via very illegal and unconstitutional executive orders.

Other "accomplishments":

(Quick side note: I'm only counting policy based accomplishments. Things like hating on gays or hurting immigrants, while technically promises, I'm going to categorize as "legalized oppression".)

• deregulation of the Internet (Fuck Ajit Pai)
• "building" the "wall" and having Mexico "pay" for it, done primarily via tariffs that ended up hurting Americans more but his base didn't care (this one is a stretch but I'm counting it)
• simplified parts of the tax code that gave everyone a tax cut (ignoring the part that for lower and middle class this cut was often a few dollars while for the Uber rich it was thousands)

There are more but I need to get back to my date. 😅

It'd be like Triumph the insult dog. They could have segregated the exhibit so that if you're a pearl clutching parent you can avoid it but this could have been a great way to raise money.

Honestly, we'd do better with an Article 5 constitution convention.

The constitution was never meant to be a living document.
