TerryMathews,

These people also never consider that they’re measuring the wrong thing. If they’re taking the position that the effects of testosterone from birth in trans M-to-F kids gives them an unfair advantage due to bone density and muscle mass, then they’re failing to take into account that there are a number of natural health conditions that produce elevated testosterone levels in women as well.

I’m not saying this to be funny, but women with stubble especially around the chin often have elevated T levels, often due to PCOS. There truly are some women who are “built like a man” and they’re not trans - at least certainly not in the way we use the term today. They’re natural, their bodies just work differently.

Banning trans kids isn’t going to level the playing field in the way they say they want to. Measuring things that testosterone affects like bone density would.

TerryMathews,

Why?

BTRFS and moving /home to subvolume, in need of a sanity check.

So I installed Debian 12 with btrfs and apparently it only uses a single subvolume rootfs. I would like to have my /home in a separate subvolume (and possibly /var too I guess) and with a flat subvolume structure. I started figuring out on how to do it and I feel like I’m not entirely sure yet so I need a sanity check....

TerryMathews,

rm -rf /home/*

You need the directory for the mount point.

TerryMathews,

If you punch someone on the nose, you can’t expect sympathy when they punch back. This isn’t going to produce the result Hamas was going for.

TerryMathews,

They’re not unemployed or underemployed by any common definition of those words. If California wants to support striking workers, great, but it shouldn’t be under these programs.

And realistically there’s no reason why this isn’t a Union problem to solve instead of a government one. Dues are paid for a reason.

TerryMathews,

I’ll be the heretic here, but so far as I know you are only required to make source available when you distribute binaries. And for that matter, it doesn’t even have to be online just available upon request unless you’re using a derivative GPL that added online access as a clause.

I highly doubt the users of a web interface are required to be given access to source. There are multiple GPL-licensed web servers (I am well aware Apache is not btw) and I’ve never seen one embed a code link on every page.

Tl;Dr: Lemmy does it, but I believe it’s not required. Modify away if you so choose.

TerryMathews,

There really is nothing close to Google Photos outside of Synology. And it’s not 100% in terms of search but it’s getting there.

You can run the Synology software via a loader on commodity hardware or on a hosting platform provided the platform supports VMWare ESXi or the like.

TerryMathews,

You misread his/her comment. They were saying to park wounded soldiers at every presser, not to comment in violation of the Hatch Act.

TerryMathews,

yes the whole nation is in jeopardy because some warmongers arent getting their promotions

The whole nation is in jeopardy because these leadership positions are being held open until Trump is reelected in a rework of the Merrick Garland SC nomination. Which should be terrifying. Jan 6 failed in part because some of the military top brass (Miley) put oath before Trump.

Read up on Project 2025 if you haven’t. These “unconnected events” are anything but. It’s a strategy.

A key witness in the Trump classified docs case changed his testimony after switching lawyers, special counsel says (www.nbcnews.com)

A key witness against former President Donald Trump and his two co-defendants in the Mar-a-Lago documents case recanted previous false testimony and provided new information implicating the defendants after he switched lawyers, special counsel Jack Smith’s office said in a new court filing....

TerryMathews, (edited )

That’s a lot of words to be wrong, friend-o.

Saying “Are you sure you don’t want to revise your testimony, because we have factual evidence that it’s false and that may lead to an indictment for perjury.” isn’t extortion, it’s allowing this guy to not loyalty his way into a felony.

Imagine, the police/prosecution use their discretion and don’t throw the book at someone and idiots still take exception to it

TerryMathews,

This is bullshit. I’m not fucking buying this. You can’t testify to something directly in opposition to a prior testimony and have any value whatsoever, period.

Sure you can. Especially if he can bring receipts related to why he was lying. Threats, promises of compensation, etc. Is it ideal that he lied under oath? Of course not. And it opens a giant door for the defense to challenge all of his testimony but it’s not irrecoverable.

Much as you seem to wish it was.

TerryMathews,

I just don’t like that this entire process is pretty clearly a matter of politics rather than justice. It’s a political headhunt, and it’s very reminiscent of pre-collapse Soviet government. We’re trying to fill the gulags up in this motherfucker. I’m not really speaking in support of the defense, Im speaking against the witch hunt.

You have really jumped the shark, friend. This is anything but a politically-motivated protection. And your allusion to Soviet Russia is comical, in a world where Putin blew up a rival last month.

Trump brought us as close to the collapse of American democracy as we have been since the Civil War, and arguably closer. It’s hard to deny there were two plots to replace Mike Pence before the election was certified: a subgroup of the protesters wanted to hang him, and part of the Secret Service detail was ready to escort/detain him away from the capital. They didn’t even try to hide it - Grassley said he planned on presiding over the Senate. They walked it back, but it happened.

If this were truly a political witch-hunt, Trump would be either incarcerated for life already, or dead and buried.

TerryMathews,

Why all the fucking lawyers (indictment of them)? Why a massive laundry list of false statements, false testimony, et al?

Because lawyers have a sworn obligation to enter evidence and testimony they understand to be truthful and argue in pleadings in a manner that they understand to be legally sound and in compliance with the rules of the court in the state of the filing. Trump used a number of lawyers - dating at least back to Cohen - who were willing and comfortable breaking both of those ethical obligations.

Put simply, lawyers do not have a free speech right to say anything they wish in court.

Nobody is being charged with what you’re describing. If that’s what they’re trying to prosecute trump for, then fucking charge him with it. The Twitter bullshit was sedition. The pence shenanigans was electoral fraud (maybe not pence personally, but the conversation was absolutely fraud on Trump’s part).

They’ve got to be able to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, and realistically he’s getting more deference on that front than any other American in history. The number of people who believe nothing he does is wrong, is astounding. I fully expect the Georgia indictment to add charges through discovery and witness cooperation deals. The RICO indictment gives them a lot of wiggle room to tie Trump to the crimes of others.

The charges reflect a fishing expedition. We don’t like this guy, lets dig some shit up…

Hard disagree. The charges reflect the stark reality that the normal institutions that should have handled this situation are broken. In any normal reality, Trump should have been successfully impeached during one of his two impeachments or impeached a third time for January 6th. Mitch McConnell’s argument that a trial was moot, was not founded in the law. As impeachment includes barring the convict from future Federal office they could have and should have tried him in the Senate.

I have zero doubt that the currently sitting Republicans will weaponize government against anyone who didn’t bend the knee including Biden. They’re not even waiting, if you’re following along they’re trying their best to remove or pressure Fani Willis in the middle of a perfectly valid criminal trial. That is the weaponization of government.

TerryMathews,

Unless you make it a point to procure an LTSC version, which Microsoft won’t even sell to you unless you have a site license.

LTSC is the only version of Windows that behaves like it’s still your computer, and I have uptime measured in months on a computer who serves Plex all day long.

TerryMathews,

Good.

TerryMathews,

Disney v. Florida GOP is the best example of the enemy of my enemy since probably WW2

TerryMathews,

Yes. If it’s a workplace injury, OSHA has the authority to come in and dictate mitigation measures.

Clearly this isn’t true.

TerryMathews,

So, I am an engineer/scientist. Products that I have developed/contributed to development are used by billions of people. Most likely you, the reader of this comment are using it right now, because some of the products I worked on are telecom products, that are widely used to transfer information.

You’re an employee, actors are (generally) independent contractors so the comparison breaks down. Most people who don’t understand the situation have been making this comparison.

The closer analogy for you would be if you, as an independent engineer, created a library that Oracle licensed instead of bought. Something they are bundling into their latest database server.

Should you, as a developer, take less per unit because Oracle starts selling through a new channel? Say the Windows app store instead of through their website directly?

I mean, it’s ok if you feel like that’s ok but I don’t think most people would agree with you when they really understand what’s going on.

The unions gave the studios a sweetheart deal in the infancy of streaming so that it wouldn’t smother in the crib. Now that it’s profitable, don’t the artists and writers deserve the same level of compensation for streaming as they get through other channels? Not more, just the same.

TerryMathews,

I mean this in the least condescending way possible, but you don’t understand how American politics works.

The absolute best scenario for Democrats is for the Republicans to split their ticket between Trump and DeSantis - or anyone else, but there doesn’t seem to be anyone else thus far with his pull on the national stage.

It’ll be Clinton-Bush-Perot but in reverse.

TerryMathews,

Yes. Trump has literally said he won’t adhere to the results of the primary and will run regardless.

TerryMathews,

This is definitely hitting the nail on the head. Until the technology trickles down into the lower-end models, it’s not anywhere near as much a cost savings when you have to buy way up in trim level to get electric as an option.

It’s also worth noting that electric economy is notably worse in cold climates - your internal combustion car generates heat for ~free, the electric heater in your Tesla does draw a fair bit of current.

TerryMathews,

Bad headline. Those that are upset with Florida treating slavery like it was a JVS are not the ones who are in the wrong.

TerryMathews,

If Congress lacks the authority to regulate the Supreme Court, then certainly they also lack the authority to fund the Supreme Court…

TerryMathews,

You got downvoted to hell, but you’re absolutely right. The fact that FDIC exists should be evidence enough to anyone with a functional brain that depositors in a bank are creditors and do not retain ownership of their literal deposit.

TerryMathews,

I don’t see how this would go anywhere after 303 Creative.

Corporations are people for the purposes of free speech thanks to Citizens United. Congress can’t pass a law depriving them of their free speech rights - and animal welfare would definitely fall within the scope.

303 says - among other things - that state or federal law can’t compel to to perform an act against your right to free speech.
