Maybe this will stop Congress from abdicating their duty to the Executive Banch and start passing updates to laws. The way we had it was that every change of president allowed more cronyism to change the rules.

Doesn’t anyone remember that Trump gutted the EPA and made them change how they worked scientifically? How the DOE decided that Coal and Gas production was the future during Trump? Did everyone forget that Trump allowed the Department of the Interior to sell gas lease for the Arctic Wildlife Preserve.

All those changes used a Chevron defense.

Yep. Just start burning the bodies of the weak and elderly every week. Then only the strongest survive. …

Now we just need a “Rat Thing”. That will solidify the world into a corporotacracy where the Liberterian ideal of Corporate Profits over everything and no pesky regulations to get in the way of profits.

Bring on the Franchise Wars…

Thanks. I will look up that distro.

Just like SSRI’s, Ecstasy does interfere with your hypothalamus and temperature regulation. So, small energy expenditures creat oversized responses.

You would still sweat heavily doing more than lying down with a fan blowing on you.

While reading this, I had a couple of thoughts.

John Brown really wouldn’t rest well with this.

Has the time come for a storming of an American Bastille?

All with the song from Les Miserables “Do You Hear the People Sing” going on in my head.

I think the time is coming to finish what the Abolitionists started and fulfill the purpose of the Civil War.

Is that advertising the new Buc-ees in Colorado north of Denver? If so it’s worth the drive away from AZ.

So nice that before this happened, the railworkers wanted to strike duets safety concerns and understaffed Railroads. All to keep them from taking days off and lowering profits.

Good old Joe Biden (friend to the working man) denied the strike request because interfering with Christmas shipping would be a problem.

I think the railworkers should have called his bluff and all off the job. Unlike Reagan and the Air Traffic Strike, the military can’t just take over those jobs. He couldn’t replace the entire unionized jobs like the AIR Force could take over flight operators.

It’s really all about having a way to get past encryption so they can spy on everyone indiscriminately. It’s pushed that it’s to save kids and unmask pedos, but the people in charge know the pedophiles are their rich donors.

It’s about controlling opposition and making sure the wealthy can stay on top. Imagine if no small business can hide their information from their competitors.

Sadly Bazzite doesn’t work well with Nvidia. But that would have been my choice.

Thanks for the info. I’ve noticed that having an Nvidia GPU may be my downfall. I would hate to have to switch my 3080 for my son’s 6800XT or even have to buy another GPU When I need to switch.

I have spent over 30 years doing IT work, so figuring out another OS won’t be too hard since I’ve worked through almost everything starting in the 90’s.

Sorry I’m late, but I would say that that case means a system should have rules to define when and where the majority of the files are at. Or at least a defined way to declare which system is one-way, and which is two-way.

The old Google Calendar system had that flag, so I find it strange that Apple wouldn’t, unless they really want to push the iCloud data Subscription model.

I have an old beat up version holding my Networking gear on Top with my NAS on the bottom. Those old Telephone tables are pretty useful once the home phone has disappeared.

In the US, there are multiple Supreme Court precedent cases that force profit-maximizing. Shareholders can sue the CEO and board to maximize profit seeking.

So yes, increasing shareholder value is enshrined in US law. Only private corporations can get around that rule. Also, a corporation cannot be forced to break the law to maximize profits, that’s just something most CEO’s are willing to do for fun.

Just add some Sodium Citrate to keep it from separating.

I think the issue comes that it only syncs messages one way and doesn’t sync on deletions. Apple should have messages that are removed from all devices when removed from the phone, but it didn’t remove messages when deleted.

Sure the guy is a moron for being a cheater and scumbag, but Apple should remove deleted messages. That’s a privacy problem with Apple’s sync. I don’t use Apple devices due to other Apple crap, but setting up iCloud sync should have a warning when items won’t be deleted and only will be downloaded to devices.

Wasn’t an entire stupid movie about the horrible sync pitfalls in Apple devices premiered years ago?

This is just horrible. Destroying environments for Silicon Valley to waste more electricity for AI is just bonkers to me. Joshua Trees are such an iconic plant that won’t expand means that there will just be a lot of extra dust lowering the solar energy output.

Plus, I really despite bis businesses that promise to protect the environment in other places if you allow them to destroy the environment. It’s still considered a net loss, but increasing wealth to equity firms is all that matters.

Yep, I will switch to Linux before I get another OS from Microsoft. Once 10 goes away, I jump onto a Linux distribution and use Proton.

I was hoping for a Steam Created distribution to come out, but I’ve been waiting for that for years. I’m just too lazy to switch over before I have to.

I had my first minor heart attack pushing carts in the snow for Toys R US at 16. That was a brutal job for $4.75 an hour in 97.

Yea. Bringing up meritocracy and incels to it, was way overthinking everything.

It’s one of the few narrative devices left in porn nowadays. It doesn’t take as long to setup, like all of the old porn narratives. The cable/TV/plumber has been crowed about for so long it breaks the mood.

Plus you can fit a quick taboo in small 8-10 minutes that works for online porn. It’s less about some big zeitgeist moment that shows some secret about our society, and more about how it is a lot easier to produce.

It’s both corporatism and enshitification all in one.
