Read the section "Stock trading case and conviction"
Disagree.
72% of demands to censor books were initiated by pressure groups, government entities and elected officials, board members and administrators, reported the American Library Association (ALA).
These are all roles frequently populated by control freaks. That makes them different from typical parents. I think it's an important distinction.
Can't believe nobody noticed this article is a year old. 🤔
openHalo provides the capability to migrate MySQL to PostgreSQL with ZERO code change and provides much more better performance than MySQL!
I hope their coding is much more better than their English. If it's not their first language, then maybe have it checked before posting?
...so your apps that were originally written for MySQL can work with openHalo with zero or fewer code changes.
I mean... c'mon. "Zero or fewer”?!?
Yet somehow doesn't age a day.
Then who's employing Mega Man?
Musk took his money already, so he ain't gonna GAF. He'll play up the "persecution" so Trumpers will buy them en masse in "righteous support." Fuckwads, the lot of 'em.
You think you're gonna get a useful assessment from people enlightened enough to be on Lemmy? Seems doubtful to me...
Looks like C64 DPaint.
Erm... Just look at how much of those rocks are covered by water between the two pics.
Uninstall Tusky, share a shot to get things back to normal, reinstall Tusky & be careful not to select "always" should you ever share to Tusky again.
Disclaimer: never used Tusky. This is just what I did in a similar situation with a different app.
Yep - of course they're safer when they take at least 2-3x longer to get anywhere.
Maybe an old pair of Air Jordans would do?
Just FAFO working it's magic.
I wish I had that kind of time. Takes too long to hang all that stuff.
They won't have homes to keep them in.
Small animals. Don't you know how many squirrels & such die each year falling short attempting to jump between buildings?
Raw doggin' it.
Okay, that just about made me hurl - can we not add any more ingredients, please?

James Wynn takes rare step after two trial court judges do the same, prompting conservative complaints
Sorry these guys have to put off their retirement, but thank goodness they're willing to.
www.theguardian.com With his pardon of son Hunter, Joe Biden delivers a heartfelt hypocrisy
President and supporters argue Hunter Biden would never have been charged if not for his name. But this exercise of power also looks like validation of Trump
IMHO, the only "hypocrisy" is with the conservative-owned press holding Biden to standards LONG since tossed aside for Trump. The people have made it clear they only respect a government who fights dirty, and WAY effing past time they get what they asked for. In the scheme of things, this is positively mundane - but they'll try to attack anything that Dems do that they'd gleefully make excuses for Trump doing since that pisses off Dems. I congratulate Biden for finally saying "fuck it," and doing the same thing they would do.
www.theguardian.com Trump officials to receive immediate clearances and easier FBI vetting
Exclusive: president-elect’s team planning for background checks to occur only after administration takes over bureau
It blows my mind that there are no legal blocks in place to prevent this (yeah, I know it's because this shit was so unthinkable that nobody prepared for it). This yahoo is on a mission to destroy EVERYTHING America was supposed to stand for. SOMETHING has to be done to stop this shit!

This live coverage has ended. Thanks for following along. You can read our full story on the latest allegations against Matt Gaetz below:
Frankly, I hope Elon wins this one. His handling of Twitter demonstrates his incompetence, and his inability to keep his mouth shut will be helpful in preparing to fight whatever BS they're up to next. The other guy might be too smart and sneaky considering his involvement in the fake elector scheme.
Is it possible to use an Android device entirely verbally - i.e. as a "black box" (without touching or looking at it)?
Google's "Voice Access" is decent for controlling the device through verbal commands, but you have to be looking at the screen to get results - it won't read anything back to you.
Google's "TalkBack" will read things on screen to you, but you have to interact with the screen physically (never mind the significant change in how interactions work - which I understand the need for - but it's still a serious mental PITA to switch between the two interaction methodologies frequently).
Is there no way to just interact with it entirely verbally? A (very) simple example of what I'm looking for:
- "What are the current Google News headlines?"
- Starts reading each one aloud, along with the names of the sources.
- "Read the article about Trump caught making out with Elon from AP News."
- Proceeds to load the article & read it aloud.
(Yeah, I know there are podcasts for this - it's meant to illustrate the basic idea of completely verbal interaction with the device, not be
BI: AOC asked voters why they backed her candidacy and Trump's reelection. They said the economy and Gaza.
I've often assumed Harris didn't want to insult her boss by going against him, because I got the impression she was planning to give Netanyahu what for once she took over - especially with him escalating things further and further. Did anyone else get that vibe, or was it just wishful thinking on my part?
OPINION: Think you know how bad Trump unleashed will be? Look at the evidence: it will be even worse
www.theguardian.com Think you know how bad Trump unleashed will be? Look at the evidence: it will be even worse | Jonathan Freedland
The last time was awful, but now that seems a mere dress rehearsal. From a public health crisis to the end of Nato, the threats are clear, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland
www.theverge.com Violent threats against FEMA swirl on social media
It “poses a credible risk to public safety,” report says.
People are calling for violence against FEMA on TikTok and X, new reports say.
I seriously don't understand why these people aren't immediately tracked down and arrested for terroristic threats. This BS is way beyond any reasonable "free speech" limit.
