US is an accomplice, so of course they can’t admit to Israel violating international law.

We need to start using U.S. troops to make these food deliveries. These types of “mistakes” would stop immediately.
Alternatively: murder
Our chance was during the primaries, and we fucking choked.
What are they gonna do vote for trump?
They might choose to sit it out, abstain. This election is not a sure thing for Biden, and the polls are pretty clear that Biden needs to stop supporting Israel like yesterday. Hilary had hubris in 2016, and so too does Biden seem to have hubris right now.
War crimes and genocide. They are a terrorist state.
Getting called out for it was unintentional.
I’m not sure what percentage of workers could do their job from home if they were allowed to. It’s probably a small minority, though a quick glance of numbers from COVID would suggest 15-20%. I’ll use 15% for sake of argument but would welcome a more “confident” number if someone has it.
Reducing the number of miles is and important way to reduce impact. Additionally, even those who cannot work from home benefit from reduces congestion and reduces vehicle idling. Although idling has less impact on EVs (though they still have to run HVAC), ICE vehicles are still the majority of vehicles being sold today in most nations and will be in circulation for decades.
Not everyone can WFH, but it needs to be part of the strategy of reducing emissions from transportation. Not pushing WFH (for those who can) is leaving a lot on the table. This is not a replacement for EVs, rather in addition to.
My point is that if they were serious about protecting the environment, they would promote WFH (for those who can…not everyone can obviously) in addition to EVs. Instead, there seems to be a big push for return to office.
I went with a media center PC and haven’t looked back.
Will using the browser version with the usual array of ad-blocks help?
One of the interesting features about Matrix is that it supports some degree of interoperability. The Beeper phone app, for all the fuss about its ill-fated attempts to bridge to iMessage, can connect to Discord for basic no-frills text chat.
I refuse to install Discord on my phone but use Beeper for DMs and group texting.
I am a big fan of Matrix and glad to see it getting some attention in this post. But it is definitely a bit rougher around the edges and esoteric compared to Discord. For more technically-inclined people, it’s fine. But it’s a bit much for some people.
I’m no fan of Apple (and don’t want to divert discussion here), but part of their winning formula is ease of use.
I frequently use Jitsi w/screensharing. Been using it for quite a while this way with good results.
The resistance to allowing WFH really shows how bullshit the push for EVs “to help the environment” is.
I’m not anti-EV and do believe they are better than ICE. But even better than an EV-driven mile is a mile that isn’t driven at all.
That he is one of the richest men on the planet show that there is no justice, no fairness in the world. Ok, tons of other things too. But this is one of them.
A lot of big state university towns that are not part of major metros probably fit this. They are going to have a lot of amenities due to the university.
Mid-sized stand-alone city. Think 50-200K people.
If I explicitly have to choose between big city or small town, then it comes down to employment options. If that is a non-factor (e.g. remote work) then small town.
For those saying culture or whatever, I’m ok with commuting to a big city once a month or whatever for that stuff. I don’t need cultural attractions for my day-to-day life.
An obvious chipping away at old reddit. They are trying to get rid of it altogether.
I consider their new format to be unusable.
I don’t think I’ve seen one at the top…
I’d say bottom because I’d rather not have the cord coming towards me, rather than away, when I’m using the phone. Also it seems more ergonomic for me to put my phone in my pocket with the top pointed down rather than up.
