Love watching these spineless worms try and wiggle their way out of liability.

It won't work, fuck around and find out. Hopefully they pay similarly to Fox News.

I wonder if a government can actually do better at security. Not that corporations are amazing and infallible, but it isn't like governments are known for creating the best software systems either.

This will make the 3 people who actually used Cortana mildly disgruntled.

I for one hope he is healthy enough to live the rest of his life in pain over years, and forced to step down and lose his power. This man has inflicted terrible damage to this country and its citizens. This is a man who put corporations and profit over anything and has sold our democracy to the highest bidder while empowering radical religious fanatics and fascists.

He's partly responsible for so much pain, suffering, and excess deaths in this nation via his support for gun lobbies and removing healthcare rights of Americans, for his support of Trump, and the excess deaths resulting from his administration.

I hope he gets exactly what he deserves.

Even with all that disabled there are still ghost profiles of you built. If you shop online at all you are building a fingerprint without the need of trackers.

This is a bit more local than US News story, but didn't know where else to post. The footage is crazy.

Four people suffered minor injuries, but no one died, according to New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

The crane operator is also reported (on FDNY Twitter) to be OK

There is absolutely no argument that can be made in good faith to continue the bloated military budget. We grossly overspend. Of course the US should strive to have a strong military and national defense, but so much of the budget is used to line the pockets of political "donors"

And the Republicans response will be to make it more difficult for college students to vote in their college towns instead of being less radical

Sorry if my posts to the community come off spammy, just want to build some content here for any new members looking for an Expanse community on Lemmy.

Chris Danelon, one of the VR designers from The Expanse television show has released another video with more very interesting content from Season 1 of The Expanse that I have not seen. The video includes interviews with the cast about their characters and their relationships.

He shows the hard to find clips from the Season 1 marketing material and then gives some additional commentary from his experience on the show.

If only he didn't try to undo the results of the 2020 election, then maybe nobody would be investigating him for trying to overturn the 2020 election. Really makes you think.. if it can happen to him, it can happen to one of us who tries to overturn an election. And what kind of a world would that be?

This is my great grandfather's Elgin pocketwatch circa 1917. My dad gave it to me when I took an interest in watch repair and I repaired this from a slightly rusted and non-working state to at the very least able to run, but the time keeping is not great. It is losing ~50s a day, amplitude is 310*, and beat error is 5.5. I'm not at the point where I feel comfortable messing with the balance and regulating the pocket watch. I am just happy that it runs. I don't have a before picture, but I cleaned up a lot of green rust from part of the dial and case where there was a crack in the crystal and water must have gotten in. I replaced the mainspring because it was domed like an ice cream cone and gave all the parts a nice cleaning and lubricating.

He did serve in WWI in the 307th, but I lean towards thinking that this was waiting for him at home because the condition it was in was pretty good given the age. I also have his WWI map which he did have with him while he was in France, and I display together with the pocketwatch.

Used to work with a guy who would put 3 second sleeps after every line in our Jenkins file. He would then say how he's so busy because he has no time when he's always waiting for builds to run.

Chris, everyone knows what you were doing.

The logic is the same as Twitter, Spez said so: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/reddit-blackout-protest-private-ceo-elon-musk-huffman-rcna89700

Huffman said he saw Musk’s handling of Twitter, which he purchased last year, as an example for Reddit to follow.

This is a short Sci-Fi story set outside the world of The Expanse by our beloved authors behind James S.A. Corey. I haven't picked up the next books in the series by various other Sci-Fi authors yet, but How It Unfolds was excellent and I am still thinking about the story many days later. The life lessons are valuable, especially for me at this time in my life.

Anyone read it? Opinions? Anyone read the next ones in the series yet?

The worst thing about it is that they could have accomplished all their goals if they didn't shove it on people with a months notice and then Spaz going on a media tour shitting on mods and users

The white supremacist who fatally shot 23 people at an El Paso Walmart will remain behind bars for the rest of his life after being sentenced to 90 consecutive life sentences.

I was trying to go natural, I didn't really have a plan just stuck in what I thought looked nice. Not as nice as most of yours but I love it. I was having a hard time getting a good picture though since there is light coming in from the windows.

Low tech and perfectly balanced. I have 10 rummies, a handful of male guppies that will be moved to my new tank when I set it up, an unknown number of pygmy cories, and a juvenile bristle-nose pleco.

Whatever it is, I'm here for it. I still need to get my hands on the new comic books and I will be playing the Telltale game. I'm still holding onto hope we will see an end to the series in some video format in the future.

I have some communities on my small instance that I will never browse, I want to remove them to free up space and not pull useless data (to my one other user and I). I click "Remove" on the community and then I click "Purge" and the community is removed and purged, but a few seconds later the community is back with different content.

I know I can block the communities to stop them from showing up on my "All" feed, but I have a small instance and don't want that data sitting around if nobody will ever look at it, as well as limit the small amount of unnecessary additional strain it may put on other instances. What am I doing wrong?

I'm honestly surprised that Plex has revenue in the "double-digit millions"
