Kid_Thunder,

We'll see what actually happens. I'm cynical in thinking any significant time warranting the crime will take place. I wouldn't be surprised if the woman identified only gets 10 years for all of the death and despair caused when people have done much less harm and certainly in a smaller scope gets more years.

Kid_Thunder,

Sorry I didn't realize I had replied with I deleted my comment. I understand some editors allow you to set tab and you can set actual spaces, like in vi. However, personally I feel like hitting tab gives me the whitespace I want for readability already.

For programmatic parsing it is simple because it's just looking for an HT.

Kid_Thunder,

I apologize. I didn't know I had replies when I deleted my post. Yeah I know you can set that behavior in some editors. And other than what I just replied with on another comment, I like tabs because I also don't have to worry about styling guides that some set down as '2 spaces' or '3 spaces' or '5 spaces' or whatever. It is basically just universally a horizontal tab.

Kid_Thunder,

The problem is that there is that ad networks and ad placements are just bad actors in the consumer space. Not only has malware been passed time and time again with ads but also false ads to malware. When that happens suddenly the content creator/website/whatever 'isn't responsible' for it. Then there's the issue of ads being placed everywhere slowing down websites but even worse, getting in the way with auto play audio and video, videos autoscrolling over the content you're trying to read or whatever, etc.

As a consumer, I should not and ethically do not need to worry about another's business model. If the business model fails simply because I don't allow something that model depends on to traverse my network then it is on them to figure it out. If the ads get in the way of the content, then I just want consume the content anyway.

Some news websites use Ad Admiral or whatever it is called and I haven't bothered trying to bypass the adblock wall for them. I just simply consume the content elsewhere.

If ads were ever responsibly used or perhaps could be argued that there is compromise where consumers wouldn't mind, then there'd probably be a lot less ad blocker usage. It's like anything else. When it takes less effort to install an adblocker to have an OK experience, then ad blockers will be popular.

I was around before ad blockers were very popular and even before pop-up blockers were around. Ads kept getting worse which is why ad blockers became more popular and more sophisticated. The Internet had ads for years before ad blockers were the norm.

Can homeless people be fined for sleeping outside? A rural Oregon city asks the US Supreme Court (apnews.com)

The scenes were emblematic of the crisis gripping the small, Oregon mountain town of Grants Pass, where a fierce fight over park space has become a battleground for a much larger, national debate on homelessness that has reached the U.S. Supreme Court....

Kid_Thunder,

Theft, overcrowding and assault are some reasons I've heard many homeless people say in CA as to the reason why they avoid shelters unless it becomes worse outside than inside.

Kid_Thunder,

I'm a millennial and worked since I was legally old enough in my state. I did use a small loan for my first car and paid for my own insurance policy and gas. I went into the military as soon as I could, worked hard and bought a house.

I bought my house during the housing bubble burst and couldn't really afford rent in a one bedroom apartment. Rent kept raising every year as did housing prices. I was very worried about food, electricity, water and rent every month. I made too much to get any benefits. I moved to a shithole in a small meth town and then the bubble burst and buying a house was cheaper than rent.

I was lucky. Very lucky. People now aren't so lucky and are working hard but calculating grace periods every month to pay some other critical bill. Going without, skipping meals, living on the bare necessities and this piece of shit that has zero perspective because 'he made it' in time just says "they aren't working".

All while unemployment has been at a historical low all while there is a housing availability crisis. He has to be very willfully ignorant and thus dishonest.

Kid_Thunder,

Yeah but they specifically talk about that in their methodology even back in 2017 (I didn't go back far or anything).

Bloomberg News editorial policy is to not cover Bloomberg L.P. As a result, Michael Bloomberg, the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg L.P., isn't considered for this ranking.

Kid_Thunder,

I can post some sources but this is a bit misleading. There has been a significant drop in registered Democrats and Republicans over the last decade. There are more Independant registered voters than before. As a matter of fact the percentages flipped from being just under 30% as registered Independant to about 45% or so.

The "leaning" Democrat and Republican have stayed about the same and fairly even split but they aren't "shifting to the Republican party".

Since it looks exactly like the chart in the sources I've cited in the past here in the Fed, I'm sure the article (I didn't bother looking at an archive to bypass the paywall) cites the same source that will show anyone that looks the truth.

Kid_Thunder,

Looks like the graph from Gallup that I cited a few months ago in this post, though this one is updated. Though you should also combine that with Gallups data here around the same period where you can see though people as a part of that survey were identifying as Dem/Dem Leaning or Rep/Rep Leaning, specific parties affiliation shows a different picture (I cited that one here).

What I took away from that, that people that were Dem Leaning/Rep Leaning weren't necessarily considering themselves as a part of either party but between 41 (2020) and 45% (2023) considered themselves Independent instead of identifying as an actual member of either caucus: Reps 30% (2020) and 27% (2022) vs. Dems 28% (2020) and 27% (2022).

Kid_Thunder,

The MAGA cultists keep saying there's going to be a civil war and it never happens. Certain MAGA politicians keep threatening a 'national divorce' and it never happens. Texas is threatening to cede from the Union and that's obviously not going to happen.

It's all just threats and no action, just like the GOP's 'governance' in Congress where they can't even pass meaningful legislation with a majority.

Kid_Thunder,

A 30% cut for steam games sold on steam and a 0% cut for steam keys sold by the publisher wherever they want with the caveat that they must give steam users the same sales at around the same time. They get their games hosted on Steam's industry best CDN, a page with support for images and videos, an API with features users like, workshop API for mod hosting and delivery, and other SteamWorks API stuff for stuff like multiplayer, patch management without charging a fee for it, forum hosting to hit the highlights. Pretty much all of that drives engagement and is mostly turn-key though you do have to programmatically interact with their API when it makes sense.

Steam provides a lot of benefit for a 30% cut of what is sold on their store front and a lot more benefit for getting all of the above for a 0% cut if they sell steam keys outside of steam.

Kid_Thunder,

Uh violating First Amendment rights? The parade organizers are a private entity not the government. It's too bad a representative in state legislature doesn't understand the Constitution.

Also

Basabe responded, writing, “You have no right to exclude me, not as an individual nor as an elected official, nor may you attempt to set me up again with a bogus ‘public safety claim.’ I have always attended this parade peacefully.”

So he's saying the security/safety claim is bullshit.

He also accused organizers of allowing “extremist” protesters “to agitate the crowds and incite violence against me for political purposes” during last year’s parade.

Now he's saying it isn't.

I thought the GOP was all about private entities refusing service to whoever they want and in a bigger sense less regulation from the 'nanny' government. I guess that only applies when they are being 'discriminated' against.

Kid_Thunder,

They're pretty successful at trolling tbf.

Republicans Worry They Could Lose the House—Before the Election (time.com)

When Republicans gained control of the House in November 2022, many in Washington wondered how they would be able to govern effectively with one of the slimmest majorities in history. Some Democrats even speculated if they might be able to take back the House before the term ended....

Kid_Thunder,

many in Washington wondered how they would be able to govern effectively with one of the slimmest majorities in history

Through diplomacy and compromise I'd imagine.

Kid_Thunder,

I think another issue is that Tesla isn't seen as an innovator in the EV market or even the automotive industry as a whole anymore. There's also the production quality issues. Musk doesn't seem to be spending enough attention on solving even these issues over the years.

If the Tesla Semi-Trucks fail (and I think that they probably will fail after the initial orders are met) Tesla is going to have a serious problem if Musk remains at the helm and at least the big investors are probably thinking the same thing. It'll just be another Cybertruck fiasco.

I suppose it could also be argued that Musk tends to say things that may alienate his demographic while embracing those that are more likely to want to drive rolling coal modded trucks but I think that's just a smaller piece to the bigger problem. Another piece is probably that people are starting to see that he isn't some genius.

tldr;
The big problem, I think, is that people just don't trust Tesla and they don't want to pay a premium for shit quality EVs that have nothing to really write home about versus the competition and Musk just doesn't seem to be trying to put a lot of energy into solving that.

Kid_Thunder,

Hilary diplomatic and not being an elitest shitty person again. /s

Stephen A. Smith at least coming back with some sanity.

Kid_Thunder,

Share price has never really been a representation of company health. Shares are traded at what people will buy them for. There also may be a lot of short selling going on waiting for the plummet.

Kid_Thunder,

You can tell this was probably illustrated by an older person or for older people because what kids actually watch TV and what kids even know what rabbit ears are in the US? And that screen is poking out like it's an old CRT with it's big ass hanging out like its trying to exhaust enough heat to cause the heat death of the universe by itself.

If someone told me this came out in the 70s or 80s I'd believe them.

Kid_Thunder,

Depends who owns the car or who has the loan out against the car. If you own the car and hire the driver, you insure the car and put them on the policy as the primary driver.

Kid_Thunder,

Until it is routine that police are routinely held accountable for unreasonable actions, this will not change.

It is also telling that there are many in power that are against unions except for the police unions which constantly shield these officers from even going to trial for things a regular citizen would be.

Kid_Thunder,

It is likely someone using the same VPN service using the same server or server on the same subnet was scraping data or similar and got blocked. Therefore you are too.

Kid_Thunder,

Because money.

Kid_Thunder,

Reminds me of when Bank of America foreclosed on a home they didn't own and the homeowner owned free and clear of any other bank.

There's more backstory to it then just the video of the aftermath of when BofA failed to pay the judgement from the court but essentially every checkpoint along the way rubberstamped the foreclosure process without actually doing what they were supposed to do. This seems to be the same case here.

How do I turn off Windows 10 & 11 automatic updates? (www.hystou.com)

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 offers less UI control over the updating behavior of the operating system than previous versions of Windows. There is no option to turn off Windows Updates using the Control Panel or Settings app in Windows 11 & 10, it checks for updates automatically and install any updates they find, whether you...

Kid_Thunder,

But compared to windows all dependencies are packed into one

That's not really true. That's why if you have a Windows PC you probably have a bunch of Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime packages installed. As another example of required dependencies would be stuff like different .NET libraries or even DirectX version updates.

On most Linux distributions, the difference here is that similar library dependencies are installed and known to be there due to being a dependency of something else installed by a modern package manager. So when you remove program X that requires Y and Z dependencies and no other program requires them, when you remove program X, then Y and Z dependencies are removed along with it. In Windows, Y and Z would just stay unless they are packaged directly with the application itself and they have an uninstaller that you are using will actually remove them. But what if it removes them but something else now requires them? Well you'll break that which is probably why most uninstallers just leave them if those dependencies are installed for every use, like those installed into System32.

In Windows whether dependencies are bundled and those dependencies are removed is purely on the shoulders of each and every entity putting out their own programs.

Just as an aside, in Linux someone can also package all of their software dependencies into their own build if they wanted to and this is true of Windows as well, however, in Linux with the advent of package managers, that isn't a necessity in most cases.
