Market share is growing with the existence of Proton and the incoming presence of Microsoft Recall. I will be deleting my Windows OS when they do that. Dual booting the same files didn’t work so I never made the full switch but I only use Windows for gaming

I heard a good argument that while these justices are appointed for life to be judges, it doesn’t specify which branch. Reappointment them to a lower court and appoint new justices. They voted for this let them reap the consequences. Outline enforceable ethics standards.

“Trump’s return” Let’s not do facism please

Say a dissolvable spring is compressed with a bolt and nut that do not melt in a sulfuric acid solution. The spring has quite a bit of potential energy at this point since it is compressed. Assuming the spring dissolves perfectly (no breakage, just complete disintegration), what happens to the potential energy of the spring?

In my town it is a city utility like electricity and water. Gigabit fiber up/down for $70 with net neutrality

With the addition of ads for paying users, is there anything subscribers can do to protest? I hate ads with a passion.

Maybe separate all shipping items to cost them more? I’m not seeing many options other than cancellation

Everyone knows this isn’t suicide but they are so brazen because there are no consequences. What do we need to do so that there are?

This is insane that it’s even being considered. If they rule presidents have absolute immunity then Joe Biden could just throw Trump in jail and not have to answer for it, which I would not want any president to have the power to do

SCOTUS has no more legitimacy. Full stop. They are declaring the constitution unconstitutional. The 14th amendment exists for a reason. A jury found Trump liable for insurrection. They are upending a jury's decision as well as violating a constitutional provision

There are laws in place for service workers related to minimum wage. The employers have to make up the difference if tips don’t meet the rate for hours worked. It seems to me that’s not sufficient for the times.

Hypothetically, if everyone were to stop tipping in the U.S. would things be better or worse for workers? Would employers start paying workers more?

Now will there be any sort of accountability? PII is pretty regulated in some places

The party is overall shitty I agree with that. I also don’t think people should be able to own more than one home just to get rental income and have someone else pay their mortgage. This depletes the housing supply and takes away wealth building opportunities for families trying to build their own wealth.

That being said, this could have been handled better. If tenants could pause rent then the banks should have paused payments on mortgages that qualify as well, or just all mortgages.

I believe the answer is yes. Most vegans are vegans because they don’t want to exploit or harm any other creature. Picking your own nose implies that you consent to that activity and are not being exploited

If you buy the hardware you should be able to turn it on. Jail breaking is fully moral in that situation.

The self driving is software that uses the hardware so should be paid for IMO. You should also be able to use your own software that’s open source on the hardware you own
