CEC. Typically works well. Sometimes buggy.

Throwing all the taking points into a bucket. I bet those prisoners are also learning critical race theory.

His fans will say he won and looked powerful. He didn’t, but they won’t care.

Wish he’d been pressed more about killing the immigration bill. Every time he complained about it, remind him that he killed the immigration bill.

Wish Orban wasn’t a diplomatic conflict. Trump saying Orban endorsed him should have been a liability but you probably can’t outright call him a wannabe dictator.

I doubt it changes the mind of too many people who already had a preference, but maybe a few hopefully. Somehow there are undecided people, I hope they saw it plainly. I don’t think there was much that will hurt Harris from it. She performed very well.

Hard to know without more context.

However, one thing people have not mentioned yet is exchange rates and foreign trade. The republican candidates have reportedly been talking about devaluing the dollar in order to increase exports and reduce the trade deficit. A strong dollar makes US exports more expensive for people overseas, and imports cheaper in the US. Devaluation runs a big risk of creating huge inflation domestically even if it props up exports.

Tech bro at a non-startup isn’t just like that, but can be very similar. It’s also living in a bubble though. The trick is to find a place with most of the benefits without the crunch.

“As many devices as they could” with Google at the center of nearly all of it (and if you want all the features, you want the Google one). This isn’t done out of altruism.

Not that surprising. Google Jibe is the largest player in RCS. Samsung created their own RCS alternative to Jibe and there are a few others, but Google is hands down the dominant platform. Apple had their own thing already, not exactly jumping to integrate Google Jibe or create another product isn’t surprising.

This is true, Google has cared less about the hardware and more about being the platform to run all of it. Not all that different than Android in that regard.

I’m still not sure why people are so quick to jump on board though. You can degoogle Android, it’s much harder to degoogle RCS.

(So are Google’s extensions to RCS)

That’s because almost everyone on an Android phone is using Google Jibe for RCS, they even turned it on through software for carriers that didn’t support it. It’s not surprising that a Google competitor didn’t jump to implement Jibe.

Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T all ditched their own RCS, they also use Google RCS. They’ve positioned themselves central to the entire stack.

A lot of RCS is using Google Jibe, it’s one of the ways they were able to roll it out so fast not necessarily with carrier support. I can’t fault them too much for not immediately embracing it. Based on the Toms Hardware link it looks like they are depending on carrier hubs. For me that means I may not get support for a long time as an MVNO user.

Tech bro at a non-startup life right there.

That’s more or less American capitalist propaganda. Those are not the only options, and there are prosperous nations with regulated capitalism and strong workers rights where people have stuff and also have time to live life. They just don’t spend most of their money on the military.

Only an instance admin can prevent somebody from logging in to that specific instance. Their activities can be ignored by other instances though.

Normal moderation actions in communities such as deletions and community bans are federated.

It only blocks communities from that instance.

And AOL. I’d say it sounds more AOL before they allowed access to the open internet, even.

Yeah this guy’s nuts, everyone knows it’s self-cleaning.

I’ve never seen it with the x equals up front. It works much better when it starts with -b.

Because people learn how to write as young children in a place that typically has no experience with a proper technique for left-handed people, and re-learning how to write is not as easy as thinking to yourself that a different way would be better.

It’s probably good you don’t say the “you know” because that would be dumb as fuck.
