You’ve nailed my family’s experience as well. I’m a sole earner, high COL area, student debt, groceries and other bills going up.

Stupidity of the US health “system” aside, there is never a situation where a pay raise “spilling over” to the next tax bracket leaves you in a worse position in terms of take home pay.

I’d love for you to explain why you think a self hosted Codeberg is problematic and implies they don’t know how to use git.

This is just wild ignorance or revisionist history. Turning Point USA had professor watchlists where students could report professors with “leftist” views and then TP’s supporters could send the professors death threats https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/sep/17/turning-point-usa-professor-watchlist

I believe the audio streaming issue on flatpak is resolved as of a month or two ago. But I’m typically with you, system packages for the most up to date experience in most cases.

Closed my entire Amazon account in February

Yes, but it’s not relevant to the point I was making

Intentionally, I think.

She has been a good evangelist for the fediverse, IMO, based on my reading of her posts on Mastodon the last couple months.

BlueSky is another corporate microblog platform, which could end up going the way of Twitter. I’m not saying it will be bought by a fascist billionaire, but they will be beholden to advertisers at some point in the near future.

I would highly recommend finding a Mastodon, Akkoma, or GoToSocial instance that aligns with your values and use that instead. If you are concerned about the network effects of not being on the ‘biggest’ platform where all the celebs are, there is a Bluesky->Mastodon bridge available.

So this is just a shortcut to Google or DuckDuckGo with a prebuilt query?

Wouldn’t the state have to present its case for each charge? Like wouldn’t presenting evidence and testimony to show its murder 1 undermine a murder 2 charge?

it’s too late, this country is cooked

Great questions

Love this. I don’t agree with the sentiment that Trek is being overdone - I’d rather have a slate of options and sit through the “bad” than have to wait years to get anything close to good.

Like, I enjoyed parts of Picard, but on the whole, it didn’t work out (maybe given the serial nature of each season, or cramming pretty ambitious ideas into 10 episodes each season). But I’ll take that any day over having to wait a week at a time for a “filler” episode.

Still hoping for a Klingon focused show… would love anything where a federation vessel isn’t the primary setting!

This dude is literally from my town. What a king

Am I missing something? Rubio is set to be Secretary of State. Haven’t heard much about Rick Scott except he is defending all the shitty picks

The mighty Kira Nerys.

Her and my daughter share a middle name for a reason.

This is the first good news I’ve read all day

You sure sound gleeful that a bunch of people’s lives are about to be ruined.

The Dems could have done much more to prevent this. Letting a Muslim American elected democrat speak at the DNC would have been the smallest bone thrown.

Stop voter blaming.
