This is an interesting inversion of the fascist doctrine that the enemy are both really strong and also really weak. Only here Trump and co are applying to themselves -- they're both super powerful and the only hope and also completely weak and ineffectual and always being led astray by the deep state or poor guidance from their own lawyers.
I wonder if this will work as well on their followers.
For example, I only buy/use old high-end (for their day) business class laptops and put linux on them. They work for everything I need to write and surf....
The screen on my X just cracked and we’re hoping it holds together long enough to get the new usb-c model. Since we plan on keeping it that long again I’d like to get everything to the same cable.
this is important. e-bikes displace regular bikes and pedestrians.
they could displace cars & motorcycles. but that would take a cultural shift in addition to a technical shift.
for example in my neighborhood tons of kids are now riding ebikes around. instead of regular bikes. and they're dumb (read: young and haven't bashed their head enough yet) kids so they make the existing walking and bike paths dangerous with their "three up and reading texts while riding too fast" behavior. (I'm not joking; true scary event while walking the dog). They are mostly smart enough to avoid playing in traffic (drat!) which means they're causing pain for pedestrians and not cars.
As far as I can tell (small sample size) once one of them gets a car they switch and drive their car at speed while still looking at their phones. Presumably the rich kids get electric cars.
I'd vote heavily for more and better bike lanes on all the surface streets. Or a city ordinance that lets them ride their ebikes in traffic like mopeds. Perhaps stricter speed limits on the cars to make this safer. These would be cultural (legal) shifts that help ebikes displace cars.
I assume the problem is a lack of alternative they can unify around. If Meta ships something definitive enough, especially for teams that already have a FB presence, there might be a mass migration.
Curious about if there is any discernable difference anyone can see if they may have popped in to Reddit today? I know it's probably naive to think there would be a big difference first day....
I thought I’d be checking to see if it was still running, a burning crater, or unaffected (nobody left Reddit). I’m happy to see an uptick in conversation.
In a way I like that this is all openly public vs just the devs and admins being able to see it. Either way somebody was going to pay attention but now it’s obvious to users.
An unnamed witness has said "Rust" film armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed "transferred a small bag of cocaine" after returning from a police interview on the day of the "Rust" fatal shooting, according to a motion filed by prosecutors Thursday.
Weird that she didn't just destroy it. I mean, somebody fucking died and there was absolutely going to be lots of investigations and finger pointing. And here she was in possession (and probably using) cocaine and in the center of discussions of who might be at fault and who might be making bad decisions.
And her priority was to try and save her cocaine for later use rather than just get rid of it? That seems a really really bad decision. It suggests that she might think keeping (and probably using) her drugs is more important than anything else going on around her.
Which would be a powerful suggestion to plant in the jury that is going to be deciding her guilt.
I think it depends on us users. If we can make a community work here in the federated space well enough to draw users then reddit might really go away.
But if they manage to kill off 3rd party devs, APIs and etc quickly before these alternatives are baked enough to work for their users and these existing federated tools aren't good enough -- then they'll just maintain via the network effect.
I was wondering how the pre-reddit lemmy members feel about the influx of ex-reddit. Have things got worst or better? Is there any lemmy etiquette that we are missing?

Days after requiring users to log in to view tweets on the web, Twitter has silently removed these restrictions.
Any change today?
