Sheriff's deputies said the suspect was later killed in "a lethal force encounter" with authorities. Tributes continue to pour in honoring the victim, Lauri Carleton.
I really loved @FixedFun 's idea for the kbin mascot, so I decided to refine it a bit and make some color alternatives. All credit to them for this wonderful idea! I merely refined it. Note, the circles beside the logo are just a color pallete swatch, not actually meant to be apart of the logo....
Of course, the moment the constructive criticism is only coming from the outside will be when it gets labeled as foreign manipulation to further cement tribalistic mentality and provide fresh out-groups to hate and fear.
Maybe I'm becoming too cynical, but the raises these unions have been settling on don't really cover inflation over the periods where they received no increase.
These articles just feel like the media wings of these megacorps are trying to stroke our egos. "Yes, so much bargaining power!"
I can't find the article I'm thinking of where someone used a bunch of privately sourced data to peg the average annual inflation at 7%, but this article shows how economists don't even agree on what metrics to measure for calculating inflation.
They'll be moved by force if it gets large enough. Homeless people reaching critical mass is something cities actively "tackle" by loading them onto buses and sending them elsewhere.
Users on TikTok searching for “WGA” are met with a screen claiming that the phrase “may be associated with behavior or content that violates our guidelines.” No videos return. Users are also unable to search for the “WGA” hashtag....
Suppressing the timely resolution of this strike allows new media companies that don't follow the same rules to fill the demand. I'm sure TikTok benefits from that to some small degree, but they probably suppress protest footage and related as a default to preserve "social harmony".
Over the past year, the Israel Defense Forces’ spotters situated on the Gaza border, all women, warned that something unusual was happening. Those who survived the October 7 massacre are convinced that if it had been men sounding the alarm, things would look different today

I don't know anything about the Netherlands' civic structure, but if it's anything like the model spread around by the British, then they were probably staring down the barrel of a no-confidence vote, which would effectively end the same way.
I'm worried that what they'll do is just set up hundreds of instances on various domains (not even necessarily *.facebook.com, or similar) in order to connect and scrape. Banning them would require resources and time people just can't dedicate in the way a megacorp can.
A Senate bill that would require Canadians to verify their age online before accessing porn is moving through the House of Commons without the support of the Liberal government.
I wrote my MP once in 2021 regarding the reversal of the wholesale broadband rates. Specifically, about how the Vice-Chair of Telecommunications sat down with the President of Bell Media for some beers at a sports game to discuss things after the 2019 court rulings upheld the existing rules set by the Commission.
The result, of course, was a change to the rules.
You're not going to get a real answer from your MPP, just a staffer tasked with boilerplating out an email that could conceivably be construed as an answer to your question/complaint.
This week, Sen. Percy Downe went public with his views amid a downward trend in the polls, economic unease and rumour mills churning about potential Liberal leadership contenders readying to replace him....
If I had been in his position, given the results of the survey, I wouldn't have changed the system, either.
It was a dead split among the possible choices, and any selection would've been attacked for it's strategic political consequences, so he did the only fair thing which was nothing.
Also, "counting promises as equal" is value projection. The severity or weight of each promise is subjective to each of us (single-issue voters are still a thing after all), so an unbiased, matter-of-fact counting is not a way of equally weighting them.
Copyright won't help here. Extending it to allow the protection of concepts as well as literal implementation is what Oracle tried to do, and would've resulted in a few megacorps demanding licensing for core concepts that no one can really make quality, functional software without.
Of course, software patents are also stupid, even if the general intent of patents seems reasonable.
Canada will be the first nation to start printing warnings directly onto individual cigarettes in a bid to deter young people from starting smoking and encourage others to quit....
I can't wait to overhear people sharing conspiracies about it, like they did with Tim Hortons and nicotine-lined coffee cups.
"The government is printing circuits in the warning messages so they can spy on you while you talk during your smoke break!"
"I heard it's full of chemicals to make you compliant!"
"I bet the only reason you really get cancer from these is because of the ink!"
Seems like a retaliatory move for Threads. Might need to be careful of this for the same reasons, too. "Publish articles" screams threadiverse to me, so maybe he's also trying to move in on this gig before the communities finish establishing themselves?
I made the switch to Manjaro in January, haven't needed Windows once for gaming.
Most difficulty I've had was with Cyberpunk 2077, but that's because GOG broke some shit on their end that requires a workaround hack to stub some phone-home code that checks what DLC you have or whatever.
What, you don't like smoothbrained out-of-touch takes about an entire generation based on the transparent dictate of global property holdings companies?
Old Souls in Young Bodies™ my ass. People are going low-tech to escape pervasive panopticon and the endless stream of fake fucking people and conspiracy peddlers.
Any time I read these broad-brush generation articles, I have to hold my eyes still to avoid setting my skull on fire with frictive heating.
