You literally just described American healthcare. I don't know where people get this idea that you don't have to wait to see a doctor here. I've had to book doctors appointments months out. And specialists can be 6+ months of waiting.

I think the Americans that say otherwise actually don't try to go to the doctor on a regular basis. And if you press them on why, they'll admit it is a fucking hassle and worried about the bill if they need to actually get something done.

Aren't all of the misogynists already voting for Trump? I think just being a younger woman candidate could energize the younger voting base.

So they say, but they also just said the president had immunity for official acts. If Biden did this while at the same time urging Congress to pass judicial ethics laws, who could stop him? Hell, expand it to the federal court system and tell the committee to move fast and prioritize the most unethical judges in key positions and either the Republicans have to play ball with Democrats on passing judicial reform through law or the remaining sane judges reverse a few key decisions to unfuck our current judicial quandary.

I'm no legal expert, but could he possibly form a judicial ethics committee to investigate supreme court justices. On any evidence of violating ethics, he could sign an arrest warrent to remove them from the court.

I don't have V-Rising, and I'm sure a lot of this stuff is hardware dependent, but according to a couple of reports on ProtonDB, there might be a kernel bug causing issues with it.

I just installed bazzite on my LCD Steam Deck this week and it has been pretty solid so far, but obviously the hardware support for it is top notch thanks to Valve. I didn't have really any issues with regular SteamOS either and just wanted to try something a bit more customizable.

And really Linux gaming on the Steam Deck feels like cheating, especially compared to trying to run games via wine before the proton days.

If you are trying to mark something sensitive out, make sure that you are deleting the actual text or convert the PDF to a flat image after. PDFs can store information in text and images, so if you just draw over some text thinking you are marking it out, there is a chance that the mark out is just a image layer sitting on top of the sensitive text. A way to check this is opening the PDF in Firefox after and toggle Reader View (button in the address bar or F9) to see if you can still see to marked out information.

You can use Bitwarden to store passkeys. Not sure if the self hosted solution has support for it yet though.

Couldn't you place the copyright for the work in the public domain without doing the same to the trademark on it? If not then what about having the works licensed under creative commons licensing?

I don't buy the dilute the pool agreement. We live in a time of nearly endless media out there for people to consume and blockbusters are still coming put and making money.

Why not allow or maybe even force things like this in favor of destruction for tax write off purposes? I mean I know its probably because the way these specific tax codes are written, but what would the downside be if the law was changed to accommodate allowing works to be in the public domain? The company would still realize zero profits while the public would benefit from the tax write off too.

I have a Lucky Line 71101 keyring that I got 5+ years ago. It flexes to unlock, which makes it very easy to add or remove things to it. Despite it being easy to unlock, it has never come undone without me intentionally doing so. And it still looks and acts the way it did when it was new.

I think there will always be ways to make anonymous calls regardless of regulations, especially since telephone systems are on the internet, so are vulnerable to hacking and exploits. But if police can be held responsible for the death and injury they cause, then maybe they will stop going in guns blazing and remove the incentive for swatting in the first place.

Its crazy to me that people think its the telephone companies that need more regulations here and not the police. SWAT teams shouldn't be going in guns blazing on anonymous calls and any injury or death should be solely their responsibility. By all means try to prosecute the people calling in the first case for misuse of emergency services, if you can identify them, but we all know who pulled the fucking trigger. Police can't both get to decide that they get to selectively enforce the law and then take no responsibility when the injure or kill innocent people.
