Greater Idaho movement: 13 counties in eastern Oregon have voted to secede and join Idaho (ktvz.com)

On Tuesday, voters in Crook County passed measure 7-86, which asked voters if they support negotiations to move the Oregon/Idaho border to include Crook County in Idaho. The measure is passing with 53% of the vote, and makes Crook County the 13th county in eastern Oregon to pass a Greater Idaho measure.

Look at lemmy. Same country, different laws per instance and different laws in the communities.

The country is Lemmy the software itself.

It could become independent with sufficient funding. I think that’s part of the idea.

Though, being able to use other indexes is likely still helpful.

Do they actually require it or do they “require” it.

A lot of things that are browser based “require” Windows or Mac but don’t actually require it.

You should be worried about being on any Windows computer connected to the Internet that Microsoft is no longer patching period…

Thoughts on American Giant?

Is there a website that collects Donald Trump's most incoherent speeches and tweets?

Sorry if this is the wrong community for this. I’m looking for a compilation of Trump’s most rambling moments (e.g., “Look, having nuclear”; Gettysburg being beautiful; etc.). Does anyone know of any sites that would have something like this? Thank you!

www.washingtonpost.com/…/trump-claims-database/

This is the best database I know of but it’s also old now… And more oriented on lies

It is

You can almost feel the paranoia that some folks have about a little bit of dirt or a couple of bugs in their house forming in 20th century advertising.

I’ve heard dishwashers dull blades. I don’t understand the science (assuming there is some) behind it.

Some of those apps are optional but advertised as if they aren’t. For instance, I’ve yet to encounter a router that actually needs the app to set it up, but most will tell you to do that rather than trying to give you the “old school” instructions.

I mean, the purchasing model was fine. It was like any other game store. It’s just it was a new service and lots of people already had existing libraries they wanted to take with them … which just isn’t how that sort of thing normally works. Particularly with the way Google had it designed so that you could play purchased games without a subscription.

Trump floats idea of three-term presidency at NRA convention (www.theguardian.com)

Donald Trump flirted with the idea of being president for three terms – a clear violation of the US constitution – during a bombastic speech for the National Rifle Association in which he vowed to reverse gun safety measures green-lighted during the Biden administration....

Trump can’t be both “different from everyone else” and “everyone’s worries about the guy are unfounded, he’s just another politician.”

While I know you didn’t say he’s the same, per se, you might as well by comparing alarms that Obama or Romney are going to be forever presidents to the guy literally “joking” about being a forever president that’s taken possibly criminal steps to subvert the results of an election already.

It’s not just the fringe paranoid folks saying “this could be the end of democracy as we know it if Trump wins.”

The reason the US and Canadian governments are doing this is to stop that $10k car from destroying the auto motive industry in North America resulting in layoffs that make the recent tech layoffs look like peanuts.

I agree we need cheaper EVs in North America, I want one too… There’s an Ars Technica article where Ford basically goes “we thought everyone wanted expensive trucks … we made those electric … we realize we missed the mark, we’re going to work on smaller, cheaper, EVs.” So, they are coming hopefully within the next couple of years.

I’m not sure how important manufacturing still is to the Canadian economy, but for the US economy … trying to protect domestic production is important (and we should’ve done it years ago instead of letting cheap Chinese imports destroy a large amount of the factories in North America).

That reduces a lot of relevant context, like why they needed the 08 bailouts in the first place, how many times they’ve been bailed out, and the fact that China has heavily subsidized these cars to the point that even if they were making the same vehicle, it would be significantly more expensive.

Well… That sucks. It looked like a decent update on Dirt Rally 2 as well

This reminds me of the new game Andrew Gower and his brothers have been working on, Brighter Shores. It’s a pure passion project based on a from scratch game engine that was created to make programming (even massively) multiplayer online games much easier.

The goal isn’t profit but rather, to have fun, and make a cool enjoyable game. He’s said they’ve made more than enough money from the sale of Jagex and RuneScape back in the day (which FWIW, he regrets that sale and a lot of what has happened at Jagex/to RuneScape).

I love to see game developers (and people in general that … “make it” and then go “you know what, I do have enough”).

That sounds like a really cool title for a game if nothing else!

A different angle of attack might be … why isn’t it capable of restoring your tabs and is that fixable?

Particularly relevant since this seems to be IT enforced updates.

@Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg avatar

Did you read what OP wrote?

I don’t know why two of you are replying to me saying “but it restores my tabs?”

I’m asking OP "what’s going on that it doesn’t restore your tabs?’

I think their point is legality is relative … surely what China is doing is legal in China. “Unreasonable” would be a better term than illegal.

I’m opposed to the idea, we’ve got enough people that think their ideas need to be broadcast to everyone in the world.
