First ten minutes were the worst, after that Biden started to make at least some reasonable points.

Random tangent, but what is the magazine on the lower right? ‘Quilty’? It’s a bit funny that was placed there as a joke of some sort.

On a small scale yeah. The sun heats rocks and they’re able to store heat for up to an hour or so. Cats can attest to that.

Same with large bodies of water; the ocean, lakes, pools, etc.

I just consider any comment after Jun 2023 to be compromised. Anyone who stayed after that date either doesn’t have a clue, or is sponsored content.

The entire premise of the article is the exact opposite - that Trump did better when turnout was high.

A new poll suggests it’s Republicans who should be rooting for higher turnout.

That has nothing to do with elections and everything to do with the direction news media has taken. Outrage sells, reasonable politics not so much.

Voting 3rd part has the opposite effect. Republicans voted 3rd part in 92 to shift policy and lost the presidency for 8 years, and the appointment of 2 lifetime supreme court justices.

UN Security Council passes resolution calling for Gaza ceasefire 2 days ago By Raffi Berg,BBC News Watch: Moment UN passes Gaza ceasefire resolution

The UN Security Council has called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, after the US did not veto the measure in a shift from its previous position. It also demanded the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. It is the first time the council has called for a ceasefire since the war began in October after several failed attempts. The move by the US signals growing divergence between it and its ally Israel over Israel’s offensive in Gaza.

Seems like action to me. Yeah a lot more needs to be done, but his words and actions are meeting.

It’s unusual this was down voted. I took your statement as to say Trump is better at messaging, and it’s something Biden needs to do better.

Everyone seemed to take the tone as support for Trump, which doesn’t appear to be the intent.

I dunno if you know but the US has 2 branches of govt that are democratically elected… One could argue the legislative branch is actually far more powerful than the executive.

very deceptive title from the source author. OP please insert [, the privacy partner, Onerep’s ] in place of “its” to make it clear Mozilla didn’t do anything wrong here.

Mozilla could do something wrong, but I entirely read this as Mozilla’s CEO had ties to data brokers and ditched Mozilla’s privacy partner because of that.

so are users, are you volunteering? Moderators don’t get paid, they’re literally just users who occasionally hit the delete button when some makes a post that in general summary looks something like “FCK U ASRHLE, U SCK BLLZ!”, stuff that doesn’t contribute to the public good.

How does a person who knows nothing about programming edit a code base? I wouldn’t know where to start. I could edit a text file, that’s about it.

for better or worse LW is the largest instance, so joining another instance always poses the ‘risk’ of being defederated.

the federation model definitely has some weaknesses

I believe they do use just as much RAM as current tabs, it’s just computers are better at handling it now.

Mozilla makes reference to them eating RAM, but I’m not 100% sure.

Use fewer tabs

Each tab requires Firefox to store a web page in memory. If you frequently have more than 100 tabs open, consider using a more lightweight mechanism to keep track of pages to read and things to do, such as:

Bookmarks. Hint: “Bookmark All Tabs” will bookmark a set of tabs. Save web pages for later with Pocket for Firefox. To-do list applications.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-or-cpu-resources

This is a good thing, but just as a pet peave - why do people keep so many tabs open on desktop web browsers? Every new tab uses more memory. Computers were not designed to have 100s of tabs open. There is no way anyone actually actively uses 100 tabs, and I see people all the time with so many tabs you can hardly even see what is there. There is a thing called bookmarks and folders for storing commonly visited sites on a computers hard disk rather than temporary RAM…

But I do think it is good firefox is adding the capability, as grouping can be useful if done right in moderation. But it’s just kind of funny the person asking for the feature admits to having huge amounts of tabs open.

It’s due to the war (obviously). War does that to society. Look how much Americans and Germans hated each other but 70 years later there is not one bit of hate between the cultures.

It will take time but if the war in Ukraine ever ceases, a few decades from now people in Russia and the west will eventually make amends. That is of course if a non authoritarian government succeeds in Russia. Which doesn’t seem all that likely.

It is 100% Russia’s divide and conquer strategy, the same one they used in 2016 to control the outcome of the presidential election.

A light blue “flawed democracy” is a more accurate description. Whereas Russia is a dark red authoritarian regime.

Things are rough in the US but they could get worse. Or better. It depends on whether or not people vote in every single election. Apathy breeds authoritarian regimes. Saying the country is a farce breeds apathy.
