No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•My friend is buying a new PC and he is deciding between air cooler and AIO, which should be get?
7·4 months agoI’ve had an AIO for years and had no complaints, but I just bought a fan since AIO can fail more easily over time. There are more parts that can fail and water can eventually evaporate or break down the materials.
I think it depends on what the use case is. I’m using my PC as a sever that I want running 24/7. As such, I don’t want fewer points of failure and I’m concerned about potential failures when I’m not home. Whereas, if it was just a gaming PC that I only turned on while I’m playing, I might care less as I’d be able to monitor it in person easier.
Food for thought.
Says it was filed in 2020. Was it previously under seal? What case is this from?

politics @lemmy.world•Judge dismisses cases against James Comey and Letitia James after finding prosecutor was unlawfully appointed
3·6 months agoFair. But even though this is clearly a politically motivated prosecution, I’d rather see the system operate the way it’s supposed to. The prosecutor shouldn’t be able to cut corners, and the judge shouldn’t take liberties.
If Halligan is the caliber of lawyer that Trump can get to bring these cases, then I think James will be fine.

politics @lemmy.world•Judge dismisses cases against James Comey and Letitia James after finding prosecutor was unlawfully appointed
10·6 months agoDisagree. The answer is to dismiss without prejudice. The issue before the judge was, at its heart, whether the prosecutor had the legal authority to bring the indictment. The answer was no. As such, it’s not up to the court to tell the government they cannot bring the case again in a proper manner from qualified prosecutor.
The beauty of the decision is that – by issuing the order in this manner – the government is screwed anyway because (unless they successfully appeal this decision) the statute of limitations has tolled on Comey’s case,so even if Halligan or some other prosecutor were able to bring charges, the window to do so has closed. Case dismissed.
This is essentially dismissing with prejudice without prejudice. The case is over, at least for Comey, unless government is successful on appeal.

37·6 months agoTrump admires this. He doesnt see Putin as an enemy, but an inspiration. Same reason MBS was welcomed the way he was at the White House, while people like Zelenskyy are mocked and scolded when they arrive.

4·6 months agoPOTUS has a lot of power to manage relationships and status with other countries. My question is what are these investments and does Trump personally benefit?
Good mix of usability and learning curve. You will need terminal, but that’s never been easier with AI assistants to learn how. Plenty of support for applications or open source workarounds. It also is familiar enough to use rather quickly, but not so much that it feel like a Windows clone. Highly recommend starting with Ubuntu.

3·6 months agoThe thing is, they’re not making any promises anymore. They don’t have to. They don’t answer to anyone right now: not voters, not courts, not Congress. It’s blame Dems for the shutdown, while Trump builds a ballroom at the White House and gets gifted a crown by foreign leaders.

79·7 months agoThey haven’t had a health plan in more than a decade. Trump has claimed since he came down the escalator he’d be releasing his health plan in “two weeks.” The plan is repeal Obamacare. That’s the only plan.

News@lemmy.world•Users vow to boycott Spotify after streamer runs ICE recruitment ad
5·7 months agoNavidrome/Airsonic with reverse proxy is best. There are lots of Android and iOS apps that stream music from you server. Rather than a reverse proxy, you could try connecting via tailscale maybe? I think at minimum, this would require your phone to be connected to tailscale whenever you want to listen to music. Not sure if this would work or be practical.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why in western democratic countries Zionism is not banned like Nazism?
2·7 months agoNazism isn’t “banned” per se, at least in the U.S. as the First Amendment does not allow for viewpoint discrimination, however repugnant a viewpoint might be. But the First Amendment does not protect against cultural, social, or other forms of non-government backlash for those who support disgusting ideologies like Nazism.
So there is no “banning” that could take place of the Zionist viewpoint, if we were to consider it on par with Nazism. By and large in the U.S., Zionism and Nazism are not seen as equally repugnant viewpoints in the cultural landscape, hence the difference in how supporters of these views are treated. Hope that makes sense.

News@lemmy.world•Trump cannot fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, court rules
2·8 months agoCan’t imagine what Frankenstein interpretation of the law would allow for that. If you believe in the unitary executive, then it should unitary.
That said, Gorsuch in 2019 gave his full throat endorsement of unitary executive in Gundy. Kavanaugh also joined the court at the time and while he didn’t take part Gundy, he later signaled his support of Gorsuch’s take.
Which begs the question… it’s been six years and they haven’t put their money where their mouth is. Maybe they’re ready now — but I agree with you, it’s felt a little like they might be worried about the consequences of what a unitary executive would mean.
