That's disingenuous.
The point is to seem like he's got a plan for the migrant crisis by bussing them out of state.
And if he sends them to Blue states where services are better for undocumented migrants, isn't that better for the individuals? Or would they really be better off in Texas?
Regardless, my point is, if you don't try to understand why your political opponent is doing something, you'll never be able to fix anything.
Sure it does.
It makes teachers wonder why, yet again, they're being forced to bear the brunt of the culture war, and they're going to eventually quit.
Then the schools won't be able to find good teachers, the education system will be further deteriorated, and private schools will become the only schools worth attending, further eroding the future prospects of working-class Floridian children and America as a whole.
I don't think that's the grand strategy at play, I just think the people in charge don't care if it happens, as long as they get enough praise from their voters.
That's generally how it works.
Just pick a mid-sized instance and there's a 99% chance it's more stable than Lemmy.world right now.
Look at users who don't sound insane and see where they're posting from.
I think it's good for USB standards to move slow.
Finally just about every device I buy has USB-C now. If they release a new connector that'll just mean using 2 different cables for everything again.
If it does get crazy, we're all going to suffer as the government cracks down hard on domestic terrorism.
And just like in 2001, "domestic terrorism" will mean whatever they want it to mean.
We had decades of low union activity that gave corporations the chance to show how well they would take care of us on their own.
And they super fucked entire generations of workers.
Now people must unionize, or their dirt salaries will lose them their rented homes and starve their kids. So we're seeing a blossoming of union activity in many sectors.
It's time for workers to have a tiny slice of those mega-profits corporations have been earning off our backs.
Unionize America!
Soldiers were sharing nuclear secrets in flash card apps.
Just because someone has a secret clearance, doesn't mean they've ever been told that the entire Internet is siphoning their data in any way possible.
But Google takes their security super seriously, and the only person they're sharing our data with is the government.
That's not a good thing, but if you need a chat app that pretty much everyone already has installed, for non-sensitive conversations, you could do much worse than Google Meet.
House arrest in Trump's giant resort mansion.
It makes sense, but it's more than a little unsatisfying.
Personally I'd love to see Trump in ADX Florence.
It's definitely been in their back pocket since the early days at Google.
This proposed change has been discussed in congress, but big tech is fighting it hard, as it would make moderation of social media very expensive and/or restrictive. Basically, certain parties want to hold platforms legally responsible for the content they host, even if that content was posted by users.
It would make it nearly impossible to legally operate a FOSS platform like Lemmy. Fortunately for us, it's one of the few areas where the interests align for both big tech and the common man.
Base64 encoding is not a legal loophole, it's a method to avoid automated content filters on platforms like Reddit and Discord. Encoding a link in base64 offers no legal protections.
