I’m still rocking a 7-year-old Galaxy S9+. A few years ago my headphone jack wore out and the gapped hole no longer retains my earbud cable. Since then, I’ve been using a USB-C adapter, but the combined earbud and charging use is starting to take it’s toll and the port is beginning to feel loose. I’m convinced that if I was limited to USB only over the full life of this phone, I would have lost wired headphone and wired charging capability a long time ago. I wish you well with your singular bottleneck port.

Par for the course for cm0002 to drop a devisive clickbait “meme” for engagement and disappear. I understand we want Lemmy to grow, but is this actually the kind of content we want churned out?

Clearly they weren’t asking that question in good faith, but you countered by cranking the bad faith up to eleven.

I also have concerns with central banks; however, I still appreciate you making this newsworthy OP. Don’t stress if everyone doesn’t share the same opinions. This would be a boring place if everyone was just reiterating why they agree with each other. ✌️

This is why you shouldn’t use complex two-or-more column layouts. Single-column resumes import fine.

Now SI units are getting pegged? When’s my turn?

Up about 16% today. During yesterday’s earnings report, the board announced that they approved the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies with their $4.7-billion of cash on hand.

Andy Yen might not have the same publicity as Bernie Sanders, but the history is there. This article covers actions and statements from Andy and Proton going back about ten years from what I can see in the timestamps. Some of the highlights include Andy personally:

• announcing programs to support girls into tech that may be considered DEI by GOP standards
• announcing fundraising for Ukraine after the Russian invasion
• criticizing the termination of Credit Suisse’s first and only black CEO, Tidjane Thiam, as racism
• praising Biden’s choice for FTC chair, Lina Khan, after she initiated lawsuits against big tech
• collaborating with Lina Khan in an antitrust report submitted by a Democratic party majority in the Subcommittee on Antitrust
• and outlining new privacy concerns resulting from Trump taking control of the NSA on the official Proton blog.

Yet, despite Andy’s history of actions that run contrary to Trump and the GOP platform, I’d charge that the greater false equivalency is equating Andy as Proton. While Bernie can clearly speak for himself, Andy is not alone in controlling Proton. Proton is a non-profit foundation governed by a board of directors and is headquartered in a country with laws against complying with US subpoenas. As as greater entity, Proton has donated to left-leaning organizations such as Fight for the Future in the US, Access Now, and Women Who Code. Reviewing Proton donations, I don’t see any right-leaning contributions. Most of it is toward privacy and freedom-of-press focused organizations that align with my views. You may have made up your mind on Andy, but I refuse to throw out the entire positive history of Proton in response to this one tweet.

Are you aware that Bernie Sanders praised Trump late last year for his proposed credit card interest rate limit? Perhaps it’s time to turn against him too!

For real. Even Bernie Sanders has praised Trump on a single issue before. Are we going to turn against him too?

Donald Trump Gets Unexpected Praise from Bernie Sanders: ‘Good Idea’

S&P500 closed at an all-time high yesterday. It’s not just up relative to a downturn.

I’m still rockin an S9+! The only issue is that my headphone jack is now gaped and will no longer retain any headphones. I’m currently using a USB-to-3.5mm adapter, but it was nice to be able to distribute the load when they were both available. I’m not sure a single USB-C port would have held up for 7 years if it was doing both jobs full-time.

I’d have to travel to Turkey and get a hair transplant first ☹️.

Libertarianism and authoritarianism are opposite ends of the same spectrum. If two hypothetical societies are heavily authoritarian and equally so, then they are both authoritarian. Libertarianism emphasizes personal autonomy and individual freedom. It is by definition non-authoritarian. Libertarian concepts extend from the left to the right.

I’d personally rather align more with libertarianism than authoritarianism. But hey, different strokes for different folks.

I don’t understand why you think that is a contradiction. You both agree there’s a spectrum between the two. Technically, if you’re not 100% authoritarian you have a greater-than-zero alignment with libertarianism.

Now, if you’re trying to say landing somewhere in the middle of the spectrum means you’re neither, then I tend to agree with you (labels suck). However, I’d take it a step further and say that nobody is going to be the 100% perfect embodiment of either end of the spectrum, and therefore, no true authoritarian or libertarian exists. I think, to say either one of you is wrong is just arguing semantics.

How do you know Hestkuk’s jacket doesn’t come in 8 colors?

Ooh neat

E: looks like June was a Pink Pilates Princess Hollywood Pop kinda month for me.

It was Nashville, not Uvalde.

You mean scrambled porn, right?

From your source:

{The upper flow is faster and from Bernoulli’s equation the pressure is lower. The difference in pressure across the airfoil produces the lift.} As we have seen in Experiment #1, this part of the theory is correct.

Sure, it might be more complicated and there are other forces at play. Also, top and bottom air molecules may not reach the backside of an airfoil at the exact same time, but that doesn’t diminish the effects of this pressure differential on lifting force.
