It doesn’t really work to compare a human with a fae, does it?

Mr Socko would be unfairly punished.

800 dangerous gang members rounded up, yet I don’t recall hearing about any of them violently resisting. So weird.

Elon is running around writing checks left and right

Mostly right.

This reply was first written by me, using the spellcheck and auto-complete features of my keyboard, and then run through an LLM to optimize it for readability with explicit instructions to not change the tone. It does not contain any incorrect information, and is obviously not low effort, however per the rules this comment should not be allowed.

You owe me years of life.

Best I can do is an upvote and a hearty thank you.

Thank you!

I don’t think providing more meat for the grinder will suddenly make anyone change their minds on the subject.

The courts have ordered the government to return him to the US, and they are refusing. What good is a court ordering the government to pay this family anything going to do?

Oh look, it’s all of the states run by conservative governments… and most have been run by conservative governments for MANY years. So they’ve been running inefficiently all this time?

Do you mainly use Android or Linux now for that freedom?

I use Android as my daily phone, but I do keep going that I’ll have a Linux phone that meets my needs some day.

I used an iPhone for a few months last year and I had such a hard time with just how much it costs for apps. Everything is a subscription and you have no options for sideloading your own app or FOSS. I tried to set my alarm to a piece of music that was released under a creative commons license and the only way to do it was to spend $1 with Apple.

The bill would create criminal penalties for election officials who register any noncitizens, even if they did so by mistake

Creating a job that no sane person would ever want to take. The people who do take the job will be overworked, since their office will always be understaffed, and they will tend to err on the side of caution and deny registration as the default.

How about also creating criminal penalties for election officials who refuse to register any citizen, even if they did so by mistake? /s

Try being more direct, you can still write out your whole email with the full description, but put in a section somewhere that’s easy to see that’s labeled as “QUESTIONS” and then enumerate the questions you want answered. I often will have the whole section bold and further highlight important words in red. This makes it easier for people to answer inline on the reply and helps ensure questions weren’t missed.

The truth is, most people don’t like the ‘email’ part of the job and may only check it once or twice a day and I’d most likely just skimming through several messages and not fully devoting much time to each message. By making it easier for them to reply you end up with a better result.

You can also use this when you expect someone to take action from your email. Let them know precisely what you want them to do, and make it very easy to find ‘The Ask’.

EDIT: Or, you can just downvote any comments that actually offer suggestions and stay of the opinion that everyone else is wrong and only you are correct.

who the fuck just stands there like an idiot after a gunman supposedly tried to kill you

The idiot who looked into an eclipse?

They probably thought you were me, I got blocked above for making a similar point that you’d also made (although I think you did a better job of making the point).

Apparently pointing out that Peertube still has quite a way to go to meet YouTube’s feature set just shows incompetence.

Edit: I actually checked out their profile and we are lucky to have been blocked by them. Everything they post is either pompous, argumentative, dismissive, or some combination.

They are already there, and someone is paying for the storage and bandwidth for what’s already there. Asking for random people to start pulling videos from YouTube and uploading them to someone else’s server is going to very quickly make that server go away.

And yes, I have tried Peertube. My experience is when I click a Peertube link from Lemmy, 9/10 it is a dead link.

And who is going to pay for the bandwidth and storage space on those peertube instances?

I mean, I too want to get away from YouTube, but it is going to be very difficult to convince people to pay for what YouTube gives away for free.

Wasn’t that with the old administration?

We have a safe at work where we keep backups and ‘legal hold’ stuff. We hardly ever need to get into it. The first audit we had after I started and the guy who had been running things walks up to the safe and just opens it… without entering the code. The auditor looks at me, and I look at my employee and ask him if the safe is broken, and he said “No, I put the code in earlier so it would be easier to open for the audit.”

Needless to say, we got dinged on that part of the audit.
