It’s a handful of addons (open source, available to be added via files) rather than the whole browser that are now available in Russia. Seems better to cut loss there and remain available as long as a workaround exists I’d think?

increase of distraction and time wasting inefficiencies.

Yea fuck having fun

We’ve already established that Tiktok Tok is not the CCP. That’s what the whole first “gonna ban TikTok” fiasco was over. It’s why they don’t store US data in China but continue to do business in the US.

That would be a business using the 1st amendment right (which everyone gets, not just citizens) to free speech to use it’s platform to ask it’s users to do something directly beneficial to them. Nothing illegal about it unless you want to reevaluate that “TikTok is the CCP” claim again.

Lemmy really seems to generally think that TikTok isn’t massively overall popular. Lemmy would have someone thinking it’s a niche app only being used by teenagers.

The iPod was throwing me until they blew me away by actually making it so I have to spin my finger on the pad. If I hadn’t been on mobile idk if I ever would’ve got past thinking “Did he fucking feature with someone? I don’t fucking listen to Sufjan Stevens…”

First off, source? Second, the npr interview I heard mentioned specifically that China has to approve the sale because the algorithm is proprietary to a Chinese company. So anyone “buying TikTok” is buying a name and none of the actual bones of the social media platform

Where was anyone other than Trump paying anyone hundreds of thousands? Can you provide a source on that one because I’ve heard that nowhere about the Wade/Willis thing.

It’s jerkey, specifically dried meat, pretty sure they’re silica packets

At least this authoritarian will have a big ol (D) next to their name! That’s what’s important right guys?!

God I can’t wait for HiroCheeto to croak so I can go back to hating on Dems without immediately getting some schpeel about solidarity. Yes, I’ll vote Democrat, but fuck do I want an actual progressive party.

Yea, bigger problem is how fucked our ports of entry are at the moment. Not enough space or staff to process everything that crosses.

If this really is an invasion like the GOP wants to claim, let’s move some of that national “defense” budget into more ICE agents and more lawyers/judges in our immigration courts to process people. Let’s weed out these supposed invaders. (Psssst I’m willing to bet a lot of money that there won’t be any)

I think the problem here really is that people are using discord to fill a niche that they wouldn’t otherwise occupy if other options were as simple “make a server” (yes they aren’t actual servers but that’s not the point).

I will concede that it’s still weird to see any FOSS communities on there.

I really don’t get this argument regardless of which way things “should be”.

Even and independent Activision-Blizzard under Microsoft would have overlap with HR or something. I can’t imagine leaving them “independent” wasn’t going to entail some trimming of fat.

I haven’t seen that part disputed? To my knowledge there was a very good reason Lee was the superintendent at the US Military Academy and was even offered a Union command before Virginia seceded, and this pattern holds with his underlings too. A lot of Confederate victories were beating odd against bigger Union armies.

Should say “sentient steamed ham”

It’s legislation. The dem governor will veto it, and the courts would laugh at it.

I’ve been seeing this on Lemmy lately, why are people going to roman numerals? Do we hate Arabic now? It’s not saving keystrokes unless I’m crazy?

Nah, those are white. He doesn’t like brown people.

That’s cuz it’s Stellaris rules sooooo >_>

Of course the fanatic spiritualists oppose Al, it’s a blocked tech path for them.

Its not though. This isn’t a community of dumbfuck libertarians. They expect to haul water. They’re poor people buying cheap housing in the desert, they’re single houses not 5 house developments, and then suddenly having the price of water double on them, it wasn’t poor planning, it was Scottsdale, a haven of rich fucks you REALLY shouldn’t sympathize with, bumping costs to buy water. Fuck I’ll find the NPR story on this exact community later.
