Followup question, if you don’t mind! What still needs to be maintained on the Win32 system on behalf of the Fedora maintainers? If everyone has moved on from 32bit, and the old stuff doesn’t change, where is the maintenance requirement? Could we not find a “final” version and leave it static, but still available in the package manager?

Is it that packaging requirements change for different systems to keep up with hardware drivers/new package managers/kernel removing deprecated features/security vulnerability patches?

IIRC, Netherlands tried to limit long term airbnb in multiple cities, but the data has shown that long term rental prices still increase over time. Some cities’ airbnb regulation has actually raised rent prices due to the further limited supply.

More housing needs to be built. Granted, I haven’t looked into if there are any limits on corporate ownership of housing, regulations that make contruction more expensive, or what the percentage of communal housing cooperatives/rent-to-buy is, which could also make a difference compared to other countries.

I read in another comment that there is a type of rubber bullet that has a steel ball inside- if those are shot at the floor and bounce, the ricochet can result in something like the reporter that needed calf surgery. Either way, it is fucked. Bring a cup like you’d use for football to protect your groin, and I read that skateboard helmets tend to offer more protection from the side and back of your head. I wouldn’t bring a kid if there is a chance of armed civil enforcement.

That didn’t address any of my concerns, but okay…

Let me ask you this. How many significant “third parties” have gotten a significant number of votes in elections, in the 250 years that this country has been sovereign?

There was Roosevelt in 1912 with the progressive party that got most of his voters after splitting from republicans (supported largely by the north at the time). The [white supremacist] American Independent party in 1968 split off from the democrat party (at that time, supported largely by the south) The Independent party in 1992 split off from the republican party, and even though they got nearly a fifth of the popular vote, they didn’t get any electoral votes.

Historically, a third party has only gotten significant traction by infiltrating and then splitting off from a major party. Why would we not want to fracture this broken democrat party into something useful? We have the opportunity, and I firmly believe that the youth (once they start voting and getting on their feet enough to stand in this sea of shit that we find ourselves in) will make that move to split and reform the party to be something better.

I can understand not wanting to vote for someone who endorses some of the things you oppose (and some things that you might even be okay with!), but I do not understand still withholding that vote when the other option is someone whose actions repeatedly endorse ALL the things you oppose, but orders of magnitude worse.

Already in the social labor party, but the restrictions of a 527 organization seem so… broken? The political party can’t endorse any specifc candidates, pay for campaign expenses, etc. You’d need a PAC for that.

After all of those hurdles, the idea of a third party being viable across all states seem very far away, and with FPTP systems it is very unlikely that it would be able to do anything before people are put in camps for being LGBTQ+ or calling out fascists for what they are.

This alternative implies finding actual progressives to support and bankrolling their campaigns against the mega pacs/billionaires that support the DNC and RNC. This grassroot support structure has worked for politicians like Bernie! I want to do this, but I don’t know if the kind of support he recieves could be spread across the amount of localities we would need to push forward a third party in the first past the post system. IMO We need to do a coalition with dems so that circumstances for the unprivileged don’t actively get worse, and take over the DNC with time. Support progressive candidates even if they side with the DNC, and if the DNC candidate is not progressive but defending a seat from a hyperfascist, they should be supported for that seat. Primary them ASAP to replace them with someone better, obviously- and constantly ring their office asking for a more progressive push from their end anyways. If we can get rid of FPTP then me and many more people would opt for your method! Since we don’t have that luxury, witholding votes and allowing hyperfascists to take more seats will just lead to further removal of rights and greater harm.

I saw this recently and sent it to some folks as a joke (been trying to get them to switch) They did seem more receptive to it, though. https://gitgud.io/wackyideas/aerothemeplasma/

You forgot the most important part!

I can’t say that I’ve tried this for python, but have you looked into multi-root workspaces? That is how my current C++ and cmake setup performs, so Python might have something similar.

We need the people who don’t go online, or orly watch corporate news networks and only use corporate social media to notice, get interested and join in. We don’t need to tell people in the echo chamber about the shit that is happening, we need to tell our neighbors, coworkers, and local politicians- to let them know that there are people who notice and want change. We won’t beat corporate funded media in their game.

Would love to share the source for the turnout estimates around, if you have it handily!

I’ve been using the fork Outertune, which seems more compatible with youtube music sync across devices, if you care about that

Make sure to enjoy Blue Shift as well, it is in the workshop!

In places like the Netherlands, dual-direction bike lanes allow the smaller-built emergency vehicles to move freely. But, the Netherlands also loves to employ only a single driving lane in each direction and has opened up the median lane for public transit like busses and trams. This results in no car traffic for the public transportation, and freedom of movement for emergency vehicles. As well as reducing car dependency, because if there is one guy going slow on the road, you are stuck behind him. We would need to flip the car-centered narrative in the US to allow something like this to be implemented. Cities like Portland actually have implemented dedicated transit lanes and even overpasses for busses only, but the designs swap right back to the American ones the second you leave the “urban” part of the city. People need to be educated to see the alternative view and how it can help them. We can show source after source to educate people that bike lanes are better for their lifestyle, local businesses, safety, noise, travel times, and kids but people need to have the willingness and openness to learn. I think videos like this one are better to spread around and convince people with because you wouldn’t even think this is rush hour! But then you imagine if every single person was in a car, and you can imagine how large of an intersection ths would be, and how loud.

Real RTCW is available on steam for free with a bunch of user-made campaigns (+ other mods) on the workshop, too!

Obligatory notice that they rescinded the memo, but not the action. There is still a pause. The EO on federal funding still remains.

Not home so I can’t try it but do you need to be so specific to match the whole markdown syntax?

You might be able to get away with

s/#(\w+%20)*\w+\.\w{2,3}/\L&/g; /#(\w+%20)*\w+\.\w{2,3}/ s/%20/-/g

basically, matching #this%20is%20LIKELY%20a%20link.md as opposed to matching whole markdown link

lowercasing that entire match, then on a search matching stuff that looks like that, replace the %20 with a hyphen (combined into a single sed command). this only fails when an http link falls within the same line as a markdown hyperlink

As far as I understand, the training data is closed source. But, the methodology of training is open source which allows independent parties to recreate the model from scratch and see similar results. Not only can you download the full >400GB model using huggingface or ollama, but they also offer distilled versions of the model which are small enough to run on something like a raspberry pi. i’m running it locally on my machine at home with perplexica (perplexity.ai lookalike with searching capabilities)

Important information sharing from https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/12627783 !

Someone on reddit pointed out there’s an OPM rule that makes max payout at something like $25k. Let me go dig it up real quick.

Because that means a lot of people wouldn’t get paid the full amount and Trump is absolutely the kind of person who would use shit like that as an excuse to not keep paying out. I wouldn’t trust this deal because based on stuff like this it doesn’t pass the sniff test.

Apologies for (slight retch) a reddit link:

zedextol:

Per OPM, the federal government can’t legally pay more than $25k, pre-tax. This is another scam. Trump is the literal master of grift. You think he’s gonna make good on this debt after years of not paying his bills?
