ulkesh , 1 day ago to Politics in Opinion | To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race

And look at that, AOC turns 35 in October (minimum age for presidency)! If only half of this country wouldn’t see her rise to such a stage as some affront to their white misogynistic identity, we could actually see real progress take shape.

But yeah, Biden should not have ran and should have let someone younger and more cognitively astute in-the-moment take the stage. He’s probably a good person and probably a good family patriarch, but he is past the point of needing to step down.

I mean, we do have recourse — Congress — who have the power of impeachment. The problem is that they are spineless and won’t get rid of the three lying pieces of shit that Trump got confirmed.

Congress is the authority over federal judges with respect to impeachment and trial. Since Congress is spineless, nothing will be done.

ulkesh , 13 days ago (edited 13 days ago) to Technology in Here's what's happening to ad blockers in Google Chrome (and other browsers)

Everything said in that article makes me very happy to have switched to Firefox.

Google can dress this up all they want, but a happy byproduct of this (for them) is that they can now purposefully ignore rules/filtering for their own sites, such as youtube, since it puts the real control of such filtering with the browser (and the company who created it) instead of the extension. Yes there is a trust concern with extensions. And yes, there is a performance hit with extensions vetting each network call. But that’s the price we, as the user, should continue to have the power to choose to pay, but Google is forcing us to go their way.

Thanks Mozilla, for providing user choice.

You are right. They can’t for every distro.

But fedora/rhel, Ubuntu/debian, and arch-based distros are the most commonly used. So they can provide official packages for those, and/or as the OP said, provide an official flatpak.

And to be fair, it’s a nice-to-have to have a better sense of trust, but given the unofficial ones are open source, it’s quite likely any maliciousness would be rooted out very quickly.

That’s a testament to Jones’s acting as well. I thoroughly enjoyed Action Saru in that scene.
