Sorry, I wasn't able to find a way to do what DeArrow does. I found some code for one here: https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/Community#Bookmarklets

But when I tried it, I got "server refused to generate thumbnail." Not sure how to go about fixing it, I'm a bit out of my depth :(

 

Very handy for posting videos to Lemmy, when you need to specify the Thumbnail URL. Found here: https://gist.github.com/huphtur/5557258

Look, Nintendo is bullshit, bullying innocent creators for stupid, paranoid reasons... but c'mon. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

🤦

Trump supported congressional Republican repeal-and-replace efforts, but they ultimately failed. One example is the American Health Care Act, a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act subsidies and regulations that the House passed in May 2017, but failed to pass in the Senate. In June 2020, Trump’s administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block the law, but the court dismissed the case.

The reason he failed in his first term is because the legislation died in the Senate, and the legal challenge died in the Supreme Court -- which are both now overwhelmingly Republican.

But you knew that. In which case you're being disingenuous. Or you didn't. In which case you are lazy and ignorant. In either case it's pretty clear that your only goal here is to waste my time. I'm through teaching Civics 101 for the day.

Trump again calls to 'replace' Obamacare, reopening a fight Republicans tried to close.

House Speaker Mike Johnson criticizes Obamacare and promises 'massive reform' if Trump wins.

Insurance companies aren't the ones in charge.

You may continue to believe one person's suffering is more important than another, and you can try to shout down anyone expressing any fears you personally don't "vibe" with. I'm not going to tone police you. But someday, you might find yourself needing to speak out, and I hope you meet someone like yourself when that happens. I'm sure you'll feel grateful to them.

You are going to be fine

You can't know that. If you don't want to hear people's despair, that's fine, block it. But don't pretend that has anything to do with some supposedly "fine" future -- just be upfront about the fact that you don't care. Might as well; uncaring people are doing pretty well for themselves these days.

My mother and sister will lose access to healthcare after the Republicans repeal Obamacare.

They will lose access to food aid when the federal entitlement programs are gutted.

Suffering is not a competition. Your broken leg doesn't heal my broken arm.

You find our laments annoying? Hold on sunshine, because we're just getting started.

women tend to care more about the POLICY

Clearly the case with white women -- 52% of whom voted for Trump in 2016. He got 53% of white women this year.

They like his Supreme Court nominees, his support of abortion policy chaos with bans in some states threatening prison time for doctors and patients, his policy for separating migrant children from their parents, they seem to really love his pussy grabbing policy especially, and his offer to protect them whether they like or not, and I WISH I was trying to be funny here, but this is all literally true. White women love Trump.

I mean smug, condescending, and insulting his opponent worked for Trump. "She's a very stupid woman. Very low IQ."

Thank you President Seymour!

The majority has chosen hate. WE are the obstacles.

That's right. We're surrounded by +70 million bigots who would rather elect a rapist than a woman.

 
 

I'm just a newb when it comes to high grade keyboards, but these things look wild, and I kind of want to try one.

On a recent trip to the law library, I opened LexisNexis and typed “AI” in the search field: 1,777 results popped up in the New York Law Journal. Pro se litigants are up against district attorneys equipped with A.I.– enhanced research and motion drafting tools at their fingertips. We don’t even have Microsoft Word.

 

It will support PS/2 keyboards and VGA. Intended to be a learning platform for RISC-V coding, it's only got 2k of RAM. (I tried finding a 3rd party source for this announcement but I struck out, so I'm linking the actual olimex webpage. Not affiliated with them, just thought this looked neat.)

 

Posthumous divorce’s technical but less popular name is a “notification of marital relationship termination” (inzoku kankei shuryo todoke) which means one is officially severing ties with the family of a deceased spouse. What’s particularly strange about it is that it doesn’t really serve any purpose for a vast majority of people aside from a government-approved official statement that someone finds their in-laws unbearable.
