Our taxes should be paid directly to Musk instead of going through the government.

You don't think it's more to do with his proximity to power?

My company did that too, then they replaced us with cheaper labor from overseas.

I'm curious, do you recall what hardware issue you had? I've been using Fedora-based Aurora on my 13 and 16.

If it makes you feel any better, this happens in the UK, too.

That did make me feel better, thanks! 😃

I'm betting hard that microplastics are actually good for us

Isn't she the one who wrote homophobic stuff on her blog and then tried to pretend she didn't like we're all stupid?

I don't think we disagree about that at all. It's just a weird point to be making. I haven't seen anybody try to say that what he was doing in his capacity as CEO was illegal.

Yeah, I wonder what might might cause the American people to be inured to crime and violence. We see oligarchs making a mockery of the law almost constantly, not to even mention the ridiculous appeals to "rules based international order" abroad.

I don't know why you think people cannot be blamed for the role they choose to have in society. That's very weird. And if that's not the point you're trying to make I'm not sure what it is.

I was answering the question you asked, which was about whether or not he had committed any crimes. And like I said it's beside the point, which you seem to agree with.

I definitely wouldn't stop working, but I would have more flexibility to try things like taking a risk on something entrepreneurial or choosing to work in a field that aligns with my values, salary be damned. That cannot be allowed.

Any measure that reduces the leverage employers have over labor will not be simply given to us. People fought and died to get what little control we have, and it's been whittled away for decades.

 

I was made moderator of the /c/TrueAnon on the lemmy.ml instance a while ago, and none of my actions have ever federated to lemmy.ml, so I gave up. Thought I'd try again after this upgrade and still no dice. The response I'm getting back from the API when I try to add my lemmy.ml account to moderator status is "not_a_moderator." Is this a transient federation issue or are there more fixes required for this scenario to work correctly?

 

Looking forward to this machine. The only thing that would preempt my purchasing a Framework 16 might be the System76 Virgo laptop, but that seems to still be in early dev.
