Gun control means: mandatory background checks, waiting periods, bans on previously convicted violent criminals owning guns, potentially magazine limits or limits on fully automatic licenses to specific users (like you may need to demonstrate you have proficiency and be a member of a gun club). None of this goes against “the right to bear arms”.

It does not mean nobody can buy guns or that guns are taken away - this is the fearmongering always pushed by the very conservative, very pro-Trump NRA.

We did it Reddit Lemmy, we found a pixelated mess and made up a story about what it is.

April 23rd will be the first day that his administrations charges for obstruction of justice are delayed / postponed because [made up reason so the judge doesn’t have to do their job].

Just like happened last time.

And the time before.

And the time before.

First, they came for the “terrorists”, and I said nothing, because I am not a terrorist.

Then, they came for the “illegal immigrants”…

While this is definitely an escalation, and a dangerous one that should be called out and fought. I want to point out that American citizens have had NO due process and NO rights on Guantanamo Bay ever since Bush Jr started disappearing people and flying them over there under the guise of terrorism accusations.

These are US citizens who were abducted, taken out of country, and not even allowed a lawyer or told what their charges are, beaten and tortured - that the courts decided that was all more or less acceptable for, and further that it was also acceptable to be detained indefinitely.

Trump is a symptom, he is not the disease.

In my experience people primarily get annoyed at thread necro when it’s to ask/discuss something tangential to the initial thread. Just start a new one in that case, instead of potentially bumping notifications to several people for your barely-related issue/discussion.

OTOH if it’s relevant info for a long dead thread then by all means add it or ask your query, that info could be valuable to someone with the same issue or it could be a pertinent update to an old discussion with new info.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with necroing a thread though. Automated archiving of threads is mostly counter-productive. Like when I find a closed and locked thread on GitHub that I have a fix for I just go “oh well guess they can find the fix themselves”.

I hate influencers too so I get it, but I figure its mostly kids and young adults who grew up watching him, so I put the blame more on the systems and communities they grew up in.

Those kids should have been protected by say… A strong consumer protections board, or parents controlling their screen time & curating their viewing, government banning phones at school, or outright banning social media for kids, or a quality education teaching them media literacy - but all of those things are demonized as bad things that those socialist European countries have.

“Worries users” - is the USA an operating system now?

Is AI writing these posts? The statement makes sense in context in the full post, but the headline absolutely does not - leads me to believe yes, AI slop.

I agree. I mean he’s lied about delivering so many things over the years, why don’t they just point out that it’s another failure.

Instead they twist it into something he didn’t say - and lose credibility. Stupid.

I’ve never seen one in Australia. They don’t meet the ADR (Australian Design Rules) so they literally cannot be sold except for use on private land - a farmer could drive one around their field if they so desired. When asked about international sales Musk said he didn’t want to design it for a global market because that would “make the design worse” which is really saying something.

This article is from last year but still applicable. Given sales and events since then I think the title can be updated from “any time soon” to “ever”, and that warms my heart a little. https://www.drive.com.au/news/why-tesla-cybertruck-not-coming-australia/

Most importantly - the time and people = money.

My last job had a dev, UAT, and prod environments because they knew it was important enough to the business to pay for them.

I dont pay me anything for running my home environment - so, there is only production. And lots of backups.

He’s one of the highest profile openly gay Republicans ever.

Given that context, I don’t think it’s surprising at all.

Nope sorry, corporations can only be ‘people’ legally if it endows all of the benefits but none of the risks.

I’m told this is a cornerstone of capitalism.
