Nextcloud as a Drive replacement? Libreoffice for documents? There's a ton of options for hosting email yourself. But IMO you're not just paying Google (or other services) for the software but rather for them to host it for you. I use FOSS for almost everything and self-host many of my own services, but I pay a company to host my email and it's money well spent.

The US Supreme Court has some tough choices to make. On one hand you have a piece of the constitution that, at least to this layperson, would seem to clearly disqualify Trump - but absent any clarifying law from Congress it's really hard to figure out how to implement it. Do you let States do it? What if a Republican state official says Biden is an insurrectionist? How would Biden challenge that? What court would hear that challenge? If it's the state supreme courts, then what if one court disqualifies him and another doesn't? Do you allow for some states to disqualify candidates and others not, or does the Supreme Court have to take up these cases each election year? What's the threshold for insurrection? Should it require a criminal conviction? What if Trump were charged with insurrection and later acquitted - can he now run again?
Maybe they might punt it off to Congress and say that it's Congress' responsibility when counting electoral college votes to decide if a candidate is qualified or not, but now you've just given cover to Republicans to reject presidential election results they don't like if they happen to win enough seats in Congress.
Tl;dr - from my perspective they have to either ignore the constitution and invite the chaos of another possible Trump presidency, or acknowledge the constitution and invite (additional) chaos into the election system. If Congress functioned maybe a decent law could be written but fat chance of that.
Boy am I glad Canada has medical euthanasia, because some of the prion diseases kill you in the worst possible way.
Not even just AAA studios, but I've seen a lot of indie studios that used to provide Linux builds aren't anymore in their newer games. Two games that come to mind are Everspace 2 & Talos Principle 2.
Not a lawyer, but bankruptcy laws sometimes won't apply to criminal penalties / restitution.
Is the mom referring to a record player when she says "78 rpm?"
I've got to say, as someone that's generally been supportive of Israel during this conflict seeing their government completely reject the idea of Palestinian statehood and take steps away from peace has been very demoralizing, and makes me seriously question how truthful they're being when they say they avoid civilian causalities, etc. Anecdotally I've noticed fewer pro-Israel comments on Lemmy which I think is demonstrating just how badly Israel's government has burned / is burning their international credibility and goodwill.
I'm pretty pro AI but I think their point was that the generated images were near identical to existing images. For example, they generate one from Dune that even has whisps of hair in the same place.
I have pretty decent savings, but I also live in a country with public health care. With some health incidents in the last few years that required the ER, I suspect that in the US I'd be broke.
Sometimes a game just takes off like this and then dies back down to reasonable levels. Remember when Valheim was released? It dropped out of nowhere, everyone and their friends played it for a month, and then it decreased down to a lower level. Sometimes a game just scratches an itch people didn't know they had and explodes for a while, which can explain why no one hears about it until the day it releases and people start telling their friends to play it too.
Found on HackerNews. Kind of scary that merely ordering toddler stuff on Amazon can result in criminal charges.
The article mentions that the landlord is 80. Isn't one symptom of dementia having way less inhibition? Let's hope that this guy wasn't preying on women his whole life.
To be crystal clear, I'm in no way defending him. She had to close her shop because of this and should be paid damages, and regardless of why he's acting this way he should no longer be in a position of authority as a landlord as he's abusive to his tenants.
