Interesting; granted it seems to be a campaign advisor's opinion stated as-if it were fact so I'd wager that's probably more bad reporting than it is a campaign promise.

That being said, he ran as the adult in the room to get us back from the right, and was NOT expected to run for reelection.

I don't know where this idea started, it's certainly something I expected him to do.

Not representing a majority in policy and having a super low approval rating isn't a reason he can't be a good leader? Is there any reason my neice can't be a good leader? Also, it is not normal for the president to be this old.

The approval rating polling is questionable not to mention so many people just blanket disapprove of the guy they didn't vote for in the current political climate.

Not representing a majority in policy is almost definitely a lie, especially when you consider the wide margin the Democratic platform wins in terms of the popular vote.

Much of what Biden's admin has actually "done" to the extent that any president really "does anything" is pretty popular in my view, infrastructure investment, domestic manufacturing investment, alliance building, defense of Ukraine, reduction of dependence on foreign energy, debt relief, etc

court takes away bodily autonomy from 51% of the population

government does nothing to pass a law to fix it after Biden campaigned on fixing it

And this is where our civics competency completely fails us. There is very little Biden can do here by himself, we have a Republican controlled house. What is he supposed to do? He has no legal authority to do anything at the federal level.

Monarchy... Really...? This is not even remotely close to a monarchy situation.

This is the real answer. People didn't care enough to pick better in primaries. Democrats didn't have one (largely from tradition) and Republicans actually voted for Trump to be their guy.

Dead by Daylight and that genre in general.

"Let's all play a horror game where someone running is like a person casually browsing the mall."

Java and Python projects can be based almost entirely on the standard library because there's so much in there (or packages with minimal/no third party dependencies).

C++ it's not uncommon for the entire code base or the majority of the code base to be internal (and maybe make use of the standard library or a library under the boost umbrella).

The "every language" is largely a "languages that became popular in the NodeJS era" issue.

They acquired standard notes... There will probably be notes through that at some point through proton accounts (similar to how it works with simple login).

Maybe they'd go as far as to make standard notes just be proton notes and rebuild the UI to match Proton's look and feel but I kinda doubt that.

If you want more than two options vote for Democrats in primaries that support ranked choice voting initiatives. As it stands, you realistically have a binary choice and until you have ranked choice voting that will continue to be true.

Because if enough people do that, it actually can result in that state not "doing what it always does."

Assuming voting for X is going to result in Y getting elected over Z "anyways" is not a good strategy for getting what you want.

The fediverse as designed is actually pretty inefficient. If it ever were to go to Reddit scale it would melt down.

That's because there's effectively no batching for federation currently ... every single vote from an instance is forwarded back to the instance hosting the community and must be processed individually. So if you get 500k votes on something even if it's from 200 servers, the servers hosting the community have to be able to withstand the flood of votes and store the associated data... And that's just votes.

Worse yet, those votes then get replayed to every single one of those 200 servers one by one. So every server needs 500k vote entries and all the associated traffic ... even if half of the servers are just 1 guy looking at cat videos once a month.

Federating actually is way more expensive than just adding another user as designed.

I'm really glad AT&T and Verizon decided to step in and start competing. At least in my area it's changed everything, Spectrum (formerly the only cable provider) is now offering much more competitive pricing and better service (though AT&T has earned some loyalty because the fiber and symmetric speeds have been really great.

Following the Biden admin pricing transparency regulations I was able to get a better price as well.

That's really interesting! I'd heard the white flight explanation for downtowns falling apart, but this adds a new layer to it

Old School RuneScape potentially fits this description

Depends on the particular telling I think. DC has IIRC gone both ways with that.

They always are ... they're a scam and should be illegal IMO

I don't think it really takes a side ... just kind of points out that it's super weird that it's more socially acceptable in one direction than the other.

I do hope the author intended for what I said to be the point though.

I would argue the top picture is also a big no no.

IMO, it shows security is not a priority for them. Just because you're on LAN it doesn't mean encryption is insignificant. There also isn't really "LAN" there are just networks, so this necessitates using some sort of server even in the case where you have an IPv6 or IPv4 address that would otherwise allow you to directly connect to your peer.

Seems interesting. I'm a bit concerned that they don't see encrypting direct traffic as an issue though https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/wiki/FAQ#i-only-use-rustdesk-for-a-few-devices-on-my-local-network-with-no-internet-connectivity-can-i-still-use-rustdesk-with-direct-ip-access
