A lot of the stuff posted here is too interesting, IMO.

They're not even "white supremacists!" They're "demonstrators in white supremacist attire," because Politico is just that goddamn chickenshit.

Good news: we already did that! It's called "tort reform" and it...

aim[s] to reduce the ability of plaintiffs to bring tort litigation (particularly actions for negligence) or to reduce damages they can receive

...oh.

It's a shame, because I care a lot about this issue and want more people to know about it... but this isn't about car-centric infrastructure and is therefore off-topic. Please don't post things that make me sad to have to remove them. : (

I want an EV and I like Hyundais (having owned one in the past), but reading comments like these reminds me that having a "modern" computerized car would drive me nuts. And that's on top of the surveillance and lack of right to repair being deal-breakers.

Hiding your face because you oppose the state and hiding your face even though you have the backing of the state are entirely different things.

In the general election, there were only two choices. That's how the game theory of our election works. You can talk about making the obvious better choice in the Democratic primary all you want and that's fine, but if you bitch about voting third party in the general election you are objectively a fucking moron who doesn't have a goddamn clue.

Either that or a pro-fascist concern troll spreading disinformation on purpose. One or the other.

The fucked-up part is that there are various networks of croudsourced weather data, but I think most or all of them are proprietary, or at least centralized (which means enshittification could put consumer API access at risk).

We need a service that's peer-to-peer (or at least federated) and open-data-licensed. And also not affiliated with the National Weather Service because Trumpism puts even that one at risk.

• https://www.weather.gov/cle/CWOP (US government (i.e. Public Domain), centralized)
• https://www.wunderground.com/pws/overview (proprietary, centralized)
• https://weathercloud.net/en (proprietary, centralized)

We already had a thread about this, which I almost removed because it's about 95% off-topic: https://lemmy.world/post/48943512

Being equally almost off-topic and also almost a duplicate (different article about the same event), this one is over the threshold for removal. Sorry, OP.

On you, not "to" you.

Dumb terminals don't need much RAM. Unfortunately, the minimal RAM would come with maximum rentiership and exploitation.

There was a headline yesterday or so that the FBI was sending 250 agents to "investigate" Fulton County GA (i.e., Atlanta) for nonexistent "voter fraud." They are definitely gearing up to try to disenfranchise Atlantans.
