Just like corporate donations are “speech”. Some Citizens United logic here.

This, and as far as I can tell, the only way to avoid being called a RINO is to completely eschew any kind of critical thinking and absolutely toe the party line regardless of how asinine or nonsensical.

+1 for Pop. I fully expected to distro hop but have had it on my main rig for over a year now. Surprisingly pleasant.

And not to mention: the original versions actually run fine to this day. Pure money grab and they made the product(s) worse to do it.

Which specific community on Lemmy did you comment in?

I suppose dropping humanitarian aid is kind of like dropping bombs without the boomy bits, so I can definitely believe it. The bigger issue is that the only effective way to get aid in is air dropping. If a certain country would be a little more sensible, the logistics could be easier.

Also: for a civilization advanced enough for interstellar travel to want to destroy us is unlikely. The universe is filled with resources. We pose no threat and don’t really have anything special.

Nah see, the pier can be used for both. Synergy.

The housing crisis won’t end until (among other things) corporations cannot freely own limitless numbers of single family homes. We will see perpetual renting because it’s effectively passive income for the corporations, and they have deeper pockets than 99.9% of individuals.

As companies own more and more, but don’t sell, supply dwindles, and the bubble never bursts.

When did it die?

Unless the Electoral College magically goes away, this will be a rough election for a majority of Americans. Lots of long-standing issues are coming to a head with the realization that we’ve already been fascist for a while.

Streaming.

It’s the new cable, in that it sells to customers based on intentional market fragmentation. It’s actually a worse, because anything you “buy” on a streaming platform is actually just leased.

No shit?

Far easier said than done.

Texas

Most of their entire business model relies on collecting data hand over fist, constantly. Hell, even actively not using their products doesn’t even make you safe.

Florida

Checks out.

This is the right approach, but also want to mention, some sites actively block VPN IPs. Sometimes I see 403s which don’t persist if I switch servers.

The media library is the ONE reason I haven’t switched to Deadbeef. Everything else seems close enough.

Annoyingly, there is apparently an updated Medialib plugin for Deadbeef, but only on the Mac, since the dev is a Mac person.

Oops, I just commented about Foobar2k before seeing this comment.

Just want to mention that it does run on Linux as a Snap (though then you have to have a Snap installed, lol). I’m sure it runs fine with regular Wine too.
