Now fire the drunk in the pentagon
The problem is the people who use the library don’t have access to the money. They’re just some dev trying to build something and your library is one of their 500 dependencies. The idea of needing to pay for a license means they have to stop building and get other people involved who may or may not approve, which may not be an option if they have a deadline. They will probably just try to find some work around to avoid this.
I wonder if a better approach is to move hundreds of libraries into some kind of joint bundle (a humble bundle). Let companies buy access to them all with one procurement, and also you’ll have more negotiating power and pull if you have a bigger group.
Like 70% of Ukraines rare earth minerals are on land occupied by Russia. If the US wants those, it needs to get Russia out of Ukraine entirely. Also, it’ll take probably 1-2 decades before any operation to extract the minerals is underway. Future presidents who aren’t major pieces of shit can rip up the deal.
Israel will not stop war until Palestinians displaced from Gaza and Syria partitioned, minister says
I think the word is sarcastic
Israel will not stop war until Palestinians displaced from Gaza and Syria partitioned, minister says
I see — As long as the democrats suffer, it justifies the actual genocide that will take place on account of their decision.
It’s good to see the left punishing people who agree with them on 50% of things over people who agree with them on 0% of things. That is a recipe for success. Go team.
Israel will not stop war until Palestinians displaced from Gaza and Syria partitioned, minister says
There they are!
You say I deserve Trump… like I’m the one suffering here. Question: do you honestly think Joe Biden would have permitted the removal of all Palestinians from Gaza? Would that even be a conversation right now? How about turning Gaza into a real estate opportunity for the sitting president?
I’m not the one suffering the brunt of consequences for your decision to elect Trump over Biden, it’s the Palestinian people who are. All of you made a choice based on principles that you don’t have the political power to support, and the result is one that is far worse for the actual people affected. That makes the choice morally inferior. And, it’s a shame to see what is happening to the people impacted by it.
Israel will not stop war until Palestinians displaced from Gaza and Syria partitioned, minister says
So you’re saying the current president is supporting Genocide? It’s weird, I don’t hear anyone on the left yelling about it. It’s almost like they don’t actually care.
Israel will not stop war until Palestinians displaced from Gaza and Syria partitioned, minister says
Well, at least Joe is out of power, now. Phew! Crisis averted.
Is this just a bad translation?

Where is the “I won’t support Genocide Joe” crowd now?

Just figured I’d share this here for informational purposes.
I like the idea of a coop. Workers own everything, feast or starve based on their own success.
There is the Labor party, the Democratic Socialists party, now you want to start another one? You need to consolidate people into a single one. Or, more effectively, we could takeover the Democratic Party given the challenges of having a third party in a winner take all system.
I hate to say I told you so, but 7 months ago people like me were saying:
I’ve been saying this. Netanyahu is going to keep the war going until after the election, hoping the bad press drains support from the democratic candidate. Netanyahu would rather see Trump in office anyway. If you’re still blaming the war going on in Gaza on the democrats, just wait until Trump gets in office and gives his support for the total and permanent occupation of Gaza. You’re behaving just as Netanyahu wants you to by not voting for the democrat in November
Go away

Facebook now allows attacks on immigrants and trans people, and posts like “Mexican immigrants are trash!” and “I’m a proud racist.”

We had a brief respite from 2021 to 2022
Mods on c/politicalmemes took down a post I made saying that it was not a meme (spam was what they called it, it was not spam). When I pointed out that very few of the posts in that community are memes, they banned me.
Anyway, be careful out there.
Edit: “report abuse” was the reason they gave for banning me. But, it was me reporting a few things that were not memes, like was done to my post. Rather than evaluating whether the reported posts were memes or not, they went on a power trip. Anyway, no idea why the mods of c/politicalmemes follow me around Lemmy. I didn’t even tag them here, and they show up. Powertripping, I guess. But, my point stands, don’t report things for not being memes, only the mod decides what’s a meme, even if they do a poor job at it. And, if you draw attention to that, they’ll ban you and stalk you on Lemmy.
I keep my hands on my laptop and use my thumb on the track pad. My hands don’t leave the keyboard. I actually never use extra mice or extra keyboards.
That’s exactly what Putin wants. He wants the US to behave as he does so that he can say, “see? The US is no better than me.”

What makes the average Lemmy user smarter than the rest of the population?
I’m always surprised by the quality of comments on Lemmy and the analysis provided, often by experts in their field. It gives a sense that the average Lemmy user is a lot smarter than the average member of the public.
Also, when it comes to politics, I think the average Lemmy user is pretty perceptive of what real power dynamics are at play and what interests society should be looking to promote.
It's been a pleasure to be on this platform with you all. Where do you all come from? And why is it so hard to find people like you in the real world?

Anyone shop on Temu? What are your best finds?
There can be a lot of junk on Temu admittedly, but it’s kind of fun to find a few deals.
Found a pair of Leatherman Raptor shears ($99 USD) for $12
Also found a Benchmade Follow Up Fixed Blade ($120 USD) for $16
Bought a drone for $15. It’s not high quality, but it’s a drone, for $15. Fun to mess around and learn with.
Anyone else find some deals? Or, got another suggestion besides Temu?
