"Solidarity" is a four letter word for some people

Hell yeah, I'll never not be mad that our garbage justice system let him skate for this long, but it's great to see he's getting one step closer to the jail/prison cell where he belongs (though I'm just going to get mad all over again when they give him lenient bail; also, where's the felony murder charge for pushing a violent coup that was the proximate cause of multiple deaths?).

Honestly, biggest surprise for me is seeing the Independent of all places get this scoop. They're a fine publication, but they're pretty U.K. based and not even as big as something like the Guardian, and normally when anything leaks out of DC circles it goes to NYT WaPo or PBS/NPR, so it's weird to see them get this news.

It was also a really good and safe space for discussing trans stuff

The guy making that tweet does not appear to be a journalist, and for the source for this he linked to this article on Just the News, who I've never heard of before and, based on another article from the same author on their home page that looks like it's trying to spin a lot of evidence free allegations about Biden being involved in a bribery scheme with Ukraine as evidence that Biden actually was involved in a bribery scheme with Ukraine, does not seem like a good source

The Independent is a solid publication with a good track record of truth telling though, so I don't doubt this story (and thank you for posting it!), but these links look like some grifters trying to legitimize themselves by hopping on to a real news story while it's hot

If that AI isn't open source, it will start spreading nasty rumors about you and making plans with your friends without inviting you unless you pay $14.99 per month and upgrade your "friend" level account to the "good friend" level ("best friend" accounts will refuse to talk to law enforcement about you and pretend to be various references on your resume for job interviewers)

I mean, I once worked at a gas station and never robbed the place, where's my credit?

“Cops are the first line of defense for business owners and employers, so I think it makes sense for labor to be opposed to Cop City.”

Yep, when a worker is accused of taking a few dollars out of the till the cops show up right quick, but where are they at when your boss commits wage theft by demanding you punch out early?

Ah, sure, that makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to explain your thinking!

Ah, that explains it, I'm running the AMOLED theme on Jerboa, but doing dark mode at the OS level (android 13 with one UI 5.1 also, btw) breaks a Galaxy Theme I've been using for a long time and really love, so I just go piecemeal app by app turning each of them to their dark modes, but sometimes that produces weird/unintended interactions like this one

At the moment it doesn't look like anyone else has had this issue, I need to make a new GitHub account to make a post there but I'll try to remember to do that later when I have a moment

So I do! Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for

Ha, only because I wasn't using it. Thanks for pointing it out to me, just played around with it a bit and that's exactly what I wanted.

It's no reddit is fun (I miss my AMOLED background and simple interface that made navigating quoting linking and collapsing comment threads all such a breeze), but a) it's better than any app I've ever made (I've never made an app), b) it will get better, c) I'll get better at using it (I'm maybe 10 minutes in so far)

Kind of spendy and maybe too absorbing, but I've found that the Android version of Dead Cells is a great way to kill anywhere from a little to a lot of time and the touch screen controls work surprisingly well (tho you're definitely going to want a controller for any of the higher difficulty runs)

I actually don't have very strong feelings about gun control (like, it might help prevent some mass shootings and gun violence, but it's a really imperfect tool that relies way too much on cops not being bigoted assholes who enforce things selectively), but the notion that lying about your food stamp eligibility constitutes a "serious crime" is outrageous

Nice, thanks! I've never had/made the time to learn any kind of programming, but anyone who does open source work is right up there with teachers librarians and firefighters in my book of "people I'm predisposed towards liking" (honestly more of a pamphlet than a book)

Anyway, speaking as someone who doesn't know much about any of this yet, where is that at in the development process? I'm guessing people send code ideas to dessalines/their team, the code is reviewed and approved by them, and then it's sent off to the Google people for a review before it gets to the play store? I'm not in any kind of rush for this fix, so I'm just curious if it'll get to me eventually on its own or if I will have to have a bit more initiative (sideloading apps is on my list of "things I really should have figured out by now" (honestly more of a book than a list))
