The Bonnfire of the Vanities

Yeah, those American workers get kind of pissed when they get handed a 1099 at the end of the year and owe Taxes, Social Security/Medicare, and fees. A US citizen gets injured & starts to seek benefits because of it the state or feds probably likely to review if they are not just classifying employees as contractors.

I'm fine with Musk splitting the Republican/Conservative/Libertarian vote up further.

I like the Nextcloud suggestion.

Still if you're open to hosting or can find hosting service, then Odoo Community could work. It's a ERP/CRM suite with several useful modules, including:

• Discuss (Slack-like messaging with file attachments)
• Calendar, To-Do, and Project for task management
• Website & eLearning modules for additional functionality

Its unfortunate that some modules & features are withheld for selling people on Enterprise. Could be soltuion to look into but is proably overkill. Similar to Odoo, ERPNext doesn't do feature lockout but I don't know if they have similar modules or not.

The Church had been in the US Refugee Resettlement program under the State Dept with l2-13 other faith based groups. Trump stopped all assistance and funding after taking office. These groups have been self-funding the program but from the US side its been shuttered.

Then Trump admin demanded that the Episcopal Church's org because they received federal grant money will have to accept these admin described "apartheid" victims when the Church was involved with helping to challenge the real actual apartheid government.

The Church finds that insulting and also working with the refugees the Trump admin abandoned. This state program has helped with refugees from across the globe including the Episcopal Church.

Have you considered just having like a local group organized around something like pro-labor or just the community in general.

Elect officers or organize how you think best. Call meeting invite guess to speak to issues you all like. When elections come around try to solicit questions to all the campaigns. Have the organization vote as a group on who to endorse or not at all.

If it's worth the effort, work the campaigns for the folks you all endorse.

More people did that stuff then starting a third party in state would be easy. From there you go forward. If you do well or brand then you may have others in their region wanting to do the same. National two parties are federations of these groups with more binding Charters.

Many States have these hurdles for recognized political parties but they can't stop folks from just organizing how they want.

Maybe not voting hurts the chances of not having more proponents in government. Think we found the problem.

Compete with Mexico? What are you a tomato or Avocado grower. I was fine with selling my Wheat to Mexico. I don't see why orange moron should steal from my business to line his and Tim Apple's pockets.

They sat out the election so they could do this instead.

Destroy the country to "own the libs". What a world and they wanted this so they can make memes instead of trying to do anything.

It took me a lot of fits and starts to finally make the switch to Linux. The Fediverse was a little different, but it was the same kind of thing—I just decided I had to make the jump.

My current VPN is helping by blocking Reddit, and honestly, that’s been a big help in keeping me here. It forces me to come here instead, which I probably needed. I still have some roles with local groups that keep me tied to Facebook, but I’m working on changing that.

I know it's often joked about, but the command line is genuinely fun. I enjoy discovering games, apps, and commands that I actually like using. With the great desktop environments available, it doesn’t feel forced—but if you’re curious, there’s so much out there to explore.

Still Firefox is an option if you Adjust Built-in Privacy Settings & tweak some settings or go with one of its forks with that done already for the time being.

Beyond that we are at the whims. Upside maybe Europe will help accelerate some projects.

I said maybe (I said maybe) Terminal gonna be the one that saves me (That saves me)

Does she mean Democratic National Convention or Democratic National Committee the later being the common thing referred to as DNC?

The National Convention is almost five thousand delegates with a plus one or two. Its not exactly a rally its the body that confirms or votes for the party's Prez candidate. They have guest, speakers, other elected Democrats(who aren't delegates), and invite the Press.

If this law ever went national then former Representative Trey Gowdy would be severely affected.

Still doubt they will let anyone fly them with programmer socks.

They could have handled this much quicker. Now that I've configured my Neomutt, I'm just too invested.

Some developer must have gotten frustrated reading Infinite Jest and decided to make an app that also ended up working for academia.

You have to remember that during Trump's first administration, there was a terrible U.S. ambassador who committed a hit-and-run in the UK, killing a cyclist. The victim’s family traveled to the U.S. to seek justice, hoping the president would revoke her diplomatic immunity since she had fled the country.

The moronic president, treating it like a reality TV stunt, had the ambassador unexpectedly pop into a meeting with the grieving family—on live TV—to say sorry. This is just how his broken brain operates.

Am I missing something on Servo Browser? Because when I went to check it out and seems more like next-gen browser engine that looks to be an improvement on Firefox's Gecko. If so then we will need to wait for a browser team to adopt it.
