  • This isn't true, the best by dates are not regulated by law. They are entirely voluntary.

  • Do they just think about the same fuckin' thing forever?
  • Is there anything that a bee would sting that it's barbed stinger wouldn't get stuck in? It seems like most anything would result in stinger detachment

  • They don't have empathy. The crying lady is brown, they're ecstatic.

  • Bluesky already doing enshittification
  • It's not for bsky to log clicks...????? They can already do that without doing this bounce link because you're using their app??????? Like folks are we really doing this?

    It's for external websites to know that the click came from bsky. (E.g. if you click the link from the bsky app, without this trick it would like you just typed the URL in, since apps don't provide a referral header)

  • You've missed out on the last several decades of Republican rhetoric, tears of "their enemies" is exactly what they want. They know they're the bad guys and revel in it.

  • Having a baby? Use this one weird trick!
  • It's actually unique to americas - older countries are less likely to do this.

  • Debian is Ditching X (Twitter) Citing These Reasons
  • Safe is a very broad term. Its not being used hyperbolically here. It's not referring to physical safety.

  • Those who live outside Europe. What are things Europeans are not ready to hear.
  • Just to counterpoint: you do know why, exactly, it is that the south has more black people than the north, right? (Hint: it's not because they were so much more accepting)

  • Did the recent Linux drama change your views on how you perceived Open Source projects?
  • I don't understand why you think "avoiding prison" equals free work for companies. The individuals contributing to open source are subject to the same laws we're discussing in this thread, and are the ones that would actually be getting consequences.

    No one exists without a government, and that's not even a pipe dream, it'd be societal collapse.

  • Did the recent Linux drama change your views on how you perceived Open Source projects?
  • The usual consequences to not following the law are not in your favor.

    If your goal in contributing to FOSS is to go to prison, there are a lot better avenues to achieve that.

  • The myth of black capitalism

  • Everything important should be done on a monitor.
  • What's worse is it's also usually more expensive than just doing it at the moment

  • Ford trying to patent system that reports speeding vehicles to police
  • fwiw, the roads are constantly littered with accidents and the US has the highest pedestrian fatality rate out of all "western" nations

  • Drunken driver who snapped photo going 141 mph before deadly collision imprisoned for 17 years
  • Ironic considering in the USA this person would likely have a much more linent sentence for this specific crime

  • Neighbors looking out for each other.
  • Nah, just next time you're stealing a cat, use floodlights and hi-viz, no one will even look at you.

  • Just a reminder
  • That's your prerogative, just recognize that if both options support genocide and block strikes, so you chose to vote for a non viable candidate, or to not vote, you're effectively disenfranchising yourself.

    Your last point is very valid though. The DNC is very good at shooting themselves in the foot because they should know very well that people do get demotivated and just stop voting, yet continue to distance themselves from their voter base, resting on their laurels as "the only sane choice out of the two".

    Supporting local candidates, where your vote also is more heavily weighted, is one of the ways to shift policy - the US govt isnt just the president, it's representatives and senators and state governments.

  • Just a reminder
  • Voting for someone in an election in the US is not an endorsement of that person. You have effectively two choices in many of the elections due to how the system is designed. You vote for the best choice of those two.

    Not voting, or voting for a non viable candidate, is a signal that you Do Not Care who is in power.

    Voting is a tool, and a civic duty. It's one of the few ways US society allows direct input from citizens.

    If you actually are against facism, don't use misguided idealism to encourage people to throw away the little political power they have.

  • L.A. County wants to cap rent hikes at 3%. Landlords say that would push them to sell
  • There's an average renter turnover. If the market would usually see a 5% increase yoy, and average stay us 5 years, this 3% policy means you'd have tenents "underpaying" by about 13%. So, to compensate, instead of new leases being 27% more expensive, they'll be 40% more expensive after 5 years.

    The root cause of all the raising home prices and rents is always the same: nimbys and lack of housing supply. Rent control works for people who are already in a home, but makes the problem worse for everyone else (who move, or become adults, etc)

  • Harm Reduction
  • that doesn't matter when they roll the national guard and start dropping bombs (which, btw, has happened before)

  • Harm Reduction
  • Lookup the history of gun control in the US. Now look at how cops react to white people with guns vs black people with guns. The cops would happily use the presence of guns as an excuse to commit massacres.
