*latest fad

That plea bargan would have required pleading guilty to 13 separate felonies, which were wild inventions anyway, since Swartz was a JSTOR account holder, downloading files that JSTOR made available to him under their own terms. He would have a very hard time getting a job as a felon, the plea bargain would have ruined his life.

the guy says, "Do you like Marx?"
I said, "I haven't met him."
Guy said, "No, no, he's dead."
"Wow, what happened?"
I'll be using this

Since we're still allowing Google, DuckDuckGo, and Bing, should Yandex and Qwant be allowed, too?

In July 2024, a Lancet study said the death toll could exceed 186,000 because the official toll does not include "thousands of dead buried under rubble and indirect deaths due to destruction of health facilities, food distribution systems and other public infrastructure"
The study pointed out that the death toll is higher because the official toll does not take into account thousands of dead buried under rubble and indirect deaths due to destruction of health facilities, food distribution systems and other public infrastructure.
But the Gaza population was estimated at 2.3 million in 2023 and Trump's plan to relocate all Gazans from last week only includes 1.8 million people, so the death toll is closer to 500,000

I'm honestly surprised they bothered to keep the LGB on there at all
They moved LGBTQI+ from the top of the list to LGB at the bottom, even the new placement became the very worst


I'm in North America and my OnePlus 11 has good reception

No Googled device will be rid of it, you'd need to use a degoogled Android OS like LineageOS, GrapheneOS, etc., without installing GApps.
!degoogle@lemmy.ml has some good resources on degoogling

Well what's the list

r/PublicFreakout doesn't like this at all
Wouldn’t it be more effective if they flew American flags also? Protesting to stop deportation but flying the flag of the country they want to send you to doesn’t make sense to me.
I feel flying American flags would have more impact.
You know, this is why liberals lost and why we continue to lose. We refuse to try and understand our opposition and their feelings. Flying a flag of a different country and stopping traffic is not going to endear people to your cause.
The boot will come down, and I don't think we are ready for the fallout.
It's the best ad for Trump that he didn't pay for. Blocking traffic with foreign flags flying reduces sympathy for these people, and implies that Trump is correct that they don't belong. Protestors need to ask themselves what they want and how they can get it.
People’s livelihood depends on them getting to work, school, etc on time. All this does is piss people off who were on the fence with issues like this.
All I see are people flying a Mexican flag. If they want to counter the whole "immigrant invasion" narrative then maybe they should consider flying the American flag.

It's called bipartisanship, sweaty

A couple days ago, Trump illegally fired NLRB and EEOC appointees:
Trump fires EEOC and labor board officials, setting up legal fight
With this move, Trump has effectively shut down the NLRB's operations, leaving the workers it defends on their own, AFL-CIO president Liz Shuler said in a statement.

Time to start calling people who cry tankie feds

Sounds like Chrome isn't willing to support extensions on mobile, but Edge is and accepted Arnaud's Kiwi contributions into their codebase.
It's just as well, Kiwi Browser wasn't actively developed beyond its original features, it basically just re-added extension code into the codebase, and each update just fixed git conflicts between that patchset and the latest updates to Chromium's codebase.

From the article:
It also doesn’t seem like extension support in Microsoft’s browser is as straightforward as Kiwi, requiring you to paste the extension’s ID (e.g. “cnlefmmeadmemmdciolhbnfeacpdfbkd” for Grammarly) into the ‘Extension install by id’ field. By contrast, Kiwi lets you install add-ons directly from the Chrome Web Store or via a downloaded file.
Edge's extension support is buried behind a bunch of manual steps, most of which the article didn't mention, and installing each extension is arduous. The only mobile browser left that has full extension support is Firefox.

News about the strike was posted to r/antiwork. The top comment, out of 545 comments:


If I just upgrade to the latest version (by flashing) and not install mind the gapps, is it basically a degoogled phone?
It would probably have to be a clean install that wipes userdata, not an upgrade. But yes, LineageOS is pretty much as degoogled as you can get on an OS forked from Google's AOSIP, if you don't explicitly add GApps.
German privacy researcher Mike Kuketz does not agree, but it all depends on how much effort you're willing to put into degoogling, or how much you're willing to compromise on usability.

To US foreign policy, Ukraine is to Russia like Afghanistan was to the USSR, an opportunity for America to make it as long and bloody as possible for them.

Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started. All warm, cuddly, and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics.
