One thing I hope everyone takes from reddit, the troll’s main weapon is downvoting in droves. I’ve seen 6 upvotes happen in under a minute on Lemmy and we don’t have that kind of user base. Some posts don’t even get federated that quickly. If the question was in good faith and downvoted, it was probably trolls. I hope you don’t take that personal.
See, I didn’t vote for trump either and also, they cheated. Trump said he was going to cheat and Elon is now saying they cheated. I believe them.
Who voted for Elon? I don’t think anyone did. :)
How do I get in on this?
FYI, Trump is pissed that Elon is shitting on his “big beautiful bill” and threatened to cut his contracts this morning.
Trump says Musk went ‘CRAZY,’ suggests cutting government contracts for his companies
This is Elon’s open handed slap back.
Let’s scream at them until they do.
Don’t forget, Democrats can now override the parliamentarian. Just saying:
Senate Democrats Have Been Handed a Tool to Stop the Big Beautiful Bill—Republicans went nuclear by overriding the parliamentarian
It’s refreshing in a way that we no longer have to spend much time thinking about the Senate parliamentarian, the shadowy figure whose rulings supposedly decide what the chamber can and cannot do. Republicans put that to bed last week by overruling the parliamentarian over whether a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution could nullify the Environmental Protection Agency’s waiver allowing California to set its own air pollution standards on vehicles.
California was given authority in a carve-out to the Clean Air Act in 1970 to set higher emissions standards than the national rules, with the EPA subsequently granting waivers more than 100 times. The state was prepared to use its latest waiver to effectively ban gas-powered auto sales by 2035. But the Senate voted 51-to-44 last week to cancel that waiver, as well as two other waivers to tighten emission rules on diesel trucks and allow zero-emission trucks on the road. The House had already voted for the resolution, so it can now be signed by President Trump.
Reference to the event:
Senate Republicans pushed forward with a simple-majority vote late Wednesday to undo an electric vehicle mandate set by California, which Democrats and the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office said should be subject to the 60-vote filibuster rule.
The general ambience is raining.
We also say:
Before you mistake the move as an act of resistance by those within the agency who are trying to keep the project alive, Direct File getting open-sourced was always part of the plan. The code was published in compliance with the SHARE IT Act, which requires agencies to share custom source code (though, of course, the Trump administration is not always motivated by following the law, so this wasn’t a given).
In a report published last year, the IRS explained its reasoning for making the code available publicly: “First, it would enable public scrutiny of that code and invite independent groups to assess its accuracy and report potential issues. Second, other tax administrators, both in states and internationally, could build upon and contribute to the IRS’s work, improving the robustness of the software over time and providing additional public value.”
Nah, Al Jazeera went batshit a few years ago imo. It’s also partially owned by the Qatar government, so it probably sways with them.
This might be the one time I’m okay with this. It’s too hard on the humans that did this. I hope the AI won’t “learn” to be cruel from this though, and I don’t trust Meta to handle this gracefully.
We always refer to it as a penis.
Here are some descriptions and photos of what most small towns look like: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/trip-ideas/washington/slow-paced-towns-in-wa
A really small town is like what you’re calling a village. I think most people outside the US think that rural is closer to urban areas than it usually is. It typically starts a half hour outside a major city and then can be 7-10 hours to the next major city depending on what state you’re in. The upper east coast is probably closer to Europe. Rural encompasses a huge swath of the US land, and most are very isolated physically and mentally.

I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Everyone should be forgotten in the culture wars and we should focus on the class wars.
Culture wars that are especially distracting and polarizing are:
This isn’t her cartoon, but let’s add this to the bucket of amazing pics:
Who would downvote this? It’s so cool.
Thank you for the explanation, so it’s as bad as I thought. How do I know what apps and programs have access to my network?
can effectively use it as a VPN to access your private network
I’m dumb. I still don’t know what that means. When they can access your network, does that mean they can make copies from your printer or does that mean they can access your hard drives?
For sure, there are a lot of lurkers. The speed in which they upvote obvious trolls is unnatural.
