You mean Flex?

I’ve never seen ETA in this context until this thread and it would confuse me.

What does ETA mean in this context? I only know it as Estimated Time of Arrival.

less about advertising and more about being cut off from payment processing networks. And that is being driven by anti-porn lobbying group Collective Shout

Having it regulated instead of illegal means you can sue the house if they cheat. It means house profits are taxed. It means you can go through bankruptcy court instead of being found dead in a construction site.

Maybe don’t be intentionally ambiguous, then.

I can watch a Blu ray that’s uncompressed and it’ll link better than a “4K stream” but again there are other factors at play.

4k/UHD content on Bu-ray discs is totally a thing, and the PS5 disc edition supports it. Obviously a disc with uncompressed 4k content would look better than a compressed 4k stream.

His appearance on That Pedal Show was how I learned he does music. was good episode for fans of both Matt Berry and guitar gear.

doesn’t get more perfect than that!

Why say it in a vague way?

Because being vague in that context is the point. So that they can recontextualize it later, when quotes in a different group/setting. People who see or hear that speech or sound it’s can simply perceive themselves as part of the referenced community and feel included and spoken for.

That was the shit for a long time, but it doesn’t give you Linux containers.

sure, he’s bad guy. but he’s not bad guy.

Guess they were just eliminating the competition.

If following official brand accounts is important to you, BlueSky will be better than Mastodon or other ActivityPub services.

Are there right-wing/nazi/fascist rage baiters on the platform? yes. But you can effectively wall them off. BlueSky has good community moderation tools (make sure you actually look at who is maintaining a block list and the people included in it, because block lists can be created in bad faith). User-level blocking just works: the person you blocked can’t see you, at all, so they’re not posting replies to you that everyone but you can see. Quote-posting is well controlled: you can detach someone else’s quote from your original post. And you can mute/hide individual replies to your posts.

Have you been voting in the primaries? That’s when your policy based principled vote has the most impact, as most states have primary turnout under 40% even in presidential election years.

Preemptively - every state had primaries in 2024, though two didn’t have the presidential race on the Democratic primary ballot.

why can’t you?

But did you vote in any the primaries?

The election rules are stacked against third parties. There hasn’t been a single EC vote for a third party presidential candidate since 1968, and Perot won 19% of the national popular vote in 1992. There are only 3 independent members out of >530 in the US Congress. And fewer than 100 in the more than 7,000 statewide legislative seats.

But if you look at the primaries over the last 20 years, you see the Republican shift from neoconservative to Tea Party to MAGA all happening in the primaries from 2008 to 2016. And on the Democratic side progressives gaining ground in primaries from 2018 to present. This year has been really good for DSA-aligned candidates winning primaries in opposition to status quo neoliberal AIPAC candidates.

The primaries have really low turnout, like 45% turnout is really high.

So your vote in a primary carries a lot more weight than it does in the general election. The status quo wants you to not vote. It wants you to vote third party. It especially wants you to skip the primaries. Focus your effort on supporting better candidates in the primaries, there where the real change is going to come from.
