Trump indicted on 7 charges in classified docs probe
  • Yeah, the fact that DOJ will apparently never ever bring charges against him for all the illegal stuff he did while in office because they really want the President/their boss to be above the law shows pretty conclusively that they don't really want to reckon with any of the deeper problems Trump's administration demonstrated we have

    So, while they make a big show out of going after him for things he did as a former president and dumbass January 6 rednecks, we're still just at risk of a wannabe dictator becoming President and using the unconstrained powers of that office to pursue personal and ideological vendettas and enrich themselves by funneling taxpayer money into their own pockets and selling US policy off to the highest bidders

  • The Unions and Workers Supporting Cop City Protestors
  • “Cops are the first line of defense for business owners and employers, so I think it makes sense for labor to be opposed to Cop City.”

    Yep, when a worker is accused of taking a few dollars out of the till the cops show up right quick, but where are they at when your boss commits wage theft by demanding you punch out early?

    Tens of thousands fewer women were incarcerated in the U.S. between 2019 and 2020 due to COVID-19, but as prison populations creep back to pre-pandemic norms, more children are being separated from their mothers, putting them at greater risk of health and behavioral problems, and making them vulnera...

    Can I keep the status bar visible while using Jerboa?
  • Nice, thanks! I've never had/made the time to learn any kind of programming, but anyone who does open source work is right up there with teachers librarians and firefighters in my book of "people I'm predisposed towards liking" (honestly more of a pamphlet than a book)

    Anyway, speaking as someone who doesn't know much about any of this yet, where is that at in the development process? I'm guessing people send code ideas to dessalines/their team, the code is reviewed and approved by them, and then it's sent off to the Google people for a review before it gets to the play store? I'm not in any kind of rush for this fix, so I'm just curious if it'll get to me eventually on its own or if I will have to have a bit more initiative (sideloading apps is on my list of "things I really should have figured out by now" (honestly more of a book than a list))

  • Prosecutors seeking Trump indictment on obstruction and Espionage Act charges
  • The guy making that tweet does not appear to be a journalist, and for the source for this he linked to this article on Just the News, who I've never heard of before and, based on another article from the same author on their home page that looks like it's trying to spin a lot of evidence free allegations about Biden being involved in a bribery scheme with Ukraine as evidence that Biden actually was involved in a bribery scheme with Ukraine, does not seem like a good source

    The Independent is a solid publication with a good track record of truth telling though, so I don't doubt this story (and thank you for posting it!), but these links look like some grifters trying to legitimize themselves by hopping on to a real news story while it's hot

  • Can I keep the status bar visible while using Jerboa?
  • Ah, that explains it, I'm running the AMOLED theme on Jerboa, but doing dark mode at the OS level (android 13 with one UI 5.1 also, btw) breaks a Galaxy Theme I've been using for a long time and really love, so I just go piecemeal app by app turning each of them to their dark modes, but sometimes that produces weird/unintended interactions like this one

    At the moment it doesn't look like anyone else has had this issue, I need to make a new GitHub account to make a post there but I'll try to remember to do that later when I have a moment

  • Can I keep the status bar visible while using Jerboa?

    Not 100% sure that's the right terminology, but it would be nice to be able to keep an eye on the time and my notifications and battery level while using this app without having to pull down the notification shade or go home

    Really small thing I can live without, but if there's a way to do that I'd love to know

    Edit; I think these two users figured out my issue in this thread, thanks to both of them!

    What daily games, like Wordle, do you play regularly?
  • Kind of spendy and maybe too absorbing, but I've found that the Android version of Dead Cells is a great way to kill anywhere from a little to a lot of time and the touch screen controls work surprisingly well (tho you're definitely going to want a controller for any of the higher difficulty runs)

  • Twitter US ad sales plunged 59%, and internal forecasts are grim, NYT reports
  • If that AI isn't open source, it will start spreading nasty rumors about you and making plans with your friends without inviting you unless you pay $14.99 per month and upgrade your "friend" level account to the "good friend" level ("best friend" accounts will refuse to talk to law enforcement about you and pretend to be various references on your resume for job interviewers)

    Court Weakens U.S. Ban on Gun Possession by People Convicted of Serious Crimes - "... says government can’t impose lifetime gun ban on man who lied about food-stamp eligibility"
  • I actually don't have very strong feelings about gun control (like, it might help prevent some mass shootings and gun violence, but it's a really imperfect tool that relies way too much on cops not being bigoted assholes who enforce things selectively), but the notion that lying about your food stamp eligibility constitutes a "serious crime" is outrageous

    Is there a way to save a post or comment for later viewing?

    Post title basically sums it up, but it'd be nice to have a better option than leaving comments like this if I see something I want to explore more later and I'm wondering if something like that exists already and I just haven't found it

    Unrelatedly, shout out to whoever added an AMOLED friendly black theme to the app, it looks great on my device

I can't seem to turn it up now, but I first found out about this guy through an interview with this DJ/producer when he said something along the lines of "My parents played Esquivel for me when I was a kid and I wanted to find a way to make that kind of a vibe in the 21st century," so shout out to Camilo Lara for helping spread good music
