Can I install linux on this?
  • If you can give a reference to any such book, I'd be very interested to see it.

  • We’re Releasing Our Full, Unedited Interview With Joe Biden From September
  • Definitely not sarcasm.

    An issue still remains for me though: this interview is almost a year old. And the state of the union address (which was also very good) was almost 7 months ago. If he has another strong speech or interview soon, I will be completely reassured.

    A strong second debate would be awesome too, but I see no reason now for Trump to agree to another one.

  • Can I install linux on this?
  • Most of what you said is exactly my point. It's true the word Linux, used properly, refers to a kernel and not an operating system. But that's not the way the word is used in practice, and it is not what OP meant when they used it. They meant " an OS with the Linux kernel and GNU userspace utilities." When the word Linux is used that way, Android is not Linux.

  • Can I install linux on this?
  • they are operating systems that use the linux kernel, just like GNU/Linux (aka "Linux") does.

  • Can I install linux on this?
  • kernel != operating system

  • Can I install linux on this?
  • For better or worse the more correct name GNU/Linux did not catch on and is universally shortened to Linux. Android uses the Linux kernel, but is not GNU/Linux, and therefore is not Linux.

  • We’re Releasing Our Full, Unedited Interview With Joe Biden From September
  • Everyone who, like me, felt sick from the moment he opened his mouth in the debate, should watch this interview. I wanted him to drop out, now I'm completely reassured.

  • faux literally translates as false.

  • ‘The Movement to Convince Biden to Not Run Is Real’
  • You have to, if your horse literally can't make it across. It may not go well, but you have no choice.

  • Can Biden be replaced as Democrat nominee? Who could replace him?
  • It didn't work for Florida though. Desantis was running for the nomination, not for president. Had he won the nomination, he would have had to resign as governor.

  • Supreme Court overturns Chevron decision, curtailing federal agencies' power in major shift
  • Dred Scott?

    Sometimes precedent is plain wrong.

    ETA: not in this instance though. This was a time they should have respected precedent.

  • What's up with all the "___punk" stuff?
  • Hah! Ya got me!

    But of course I'm talking about the adjective punk, as in " punk rock," which is an entirely other word than the noun puncke, (or, more modern, punk ) which Shakespeare used.

    ETA: I don't mean to imply they're not related They just aren't the same word. And one of them was created in the 1970s.

  • What's up with all the "___punk" stuff?
  • I agree that the word punk came to be associated with aesthetics, almost exclusively. But that is very far from where it started, and it is frustrating for those who started it to see it coopted like this. The association of the word with anything other than anti-consumerism is just " branding" at its worst.

  • What's up with all the "___punk" stuff?
  • I was a tween when the first version of "punk" came around (yes, that makes me old). I think I can say with authority that the ideals were: anti-corporate, anti-consumerism, and anti-commercialism. Ever since then people have tried to sum it up (and marginalize it) as "DIY." But that falls well short of what it really was.

    Of course, the second it showed any sign of viable popularity, the forces of capitalism, well..., capitalized on it. The obvious examples are bullshit, high production, made-for-tv bands like Green Day getting sold as punk rock. But does anyone remember Urban Outfitters? Holy crap, the open, unashamed corporate pandering!

  • "Getting paid more money is for fools"
  • Sure, but my point is that it is possible to make more money and then actually have less money because of taxes. It's just not for the reason in OP's post.

  • "Getting paid more money is for fools"
  • I don't think you've understood what my claim is. Please see my edit.

  • Why aren't ghosts allowed to review movies?
  • I disagree. Dad jokes are most often puns, and puns always elicit a groan, whether they're good or not. Dad jokes can be witty and/or clever, and that's what makes them good. This one is not.

  • Why aren't ghosts allowed to review movies?
  • Nope. This time I can't abide. There seems to be a culture here of mutual encouragement, that leads to upvoting everything no matter what. But this joke is simply awful. No good. Terrible. Very bad.

    The 'Pro-American’ digital marketplace has had a surge of interest as brands like Target and Bud Light have faced backlash for pro-LGBTQ products and marketing.

    What happens to downvotes when instances have different policies?

    My instance has downvoting enabled, but I've learned that some other instances do not. Do the vote totals look different to users on different instances? It seems like some users on instances that don't allow downvoting are unaware that it's not the same lemmy-wide. It would be pretty confusing for them to see their vote go down.
