I think this is not quite correct. You’re absolutely right that 6 weeks is basically the same thing as a full ban, but it’s based on last period rather than from conception. Which is even worse. They assume that women conceived the day after their period.

A woman could become pregnant late in her menstrual cycle, but the 6 weeks counts from the previous period. So she could really be only a few weeks from conception but closer to 5-6 weeks based on the ban math.

Until people are donating enough money to make maintaining an open source browser doable, this will continue to happen.

Gerrymandering is a hell of a drug.

I’m not trying to disparage anyone who likes Linkin Park, but my opinion is that, in general, alt rock from the late 90s through the early 00s has aged really poorly. I used to listen to that music a ton when I was in high school and college, but I don’t anymore.

“Free speech absolutist” means “you are required to hear everything I have to say and you can’t criticize me for it.”

I think it’s fair to think that they could refocus their efforts on the browser if they didn’t have that large slush fund from Google. I don’t think “hey we don’t take Google money anymore” is going to lead to a lot of new donations, however.

it sounds like no one else does either

Maintaining a browser that doesn’t rely on someone else’s upstream code is quite an ordeal. Of the four main browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox), 3 are built by large for-profit enterprises and the other relies on money from a large for-profit enterprise. Browsers are very complex pieces of technology and can’t be maintained by 3 guys on GitHub in their spare time.

Close. Chromium uses Blink which was originally a fork of WebKit. I have no idea how much they’ve diverged since then.

They could probably raise more if Google went away

I’m interested in how you think Mozilla would raise more than half a billion dollars if they didn’t take any money from Alphabet/Google. Genuinely. In what ways could Mozilla raise money that they’re not doing right now?

I’m shocked he doesn’t have an IRA (unless that doesn’t count). Given his previous jobs, it passes the smell test that he doesn’t have a 401k.

I’m sure his pensions are invested in a wide range of stocks and bonds, but he doesn’t directly hold them.

This. If you’re a meme stock (Tesla), you have to keep it that way or else everyone is losing their shirts.

Let’s be clear. Republican judges.

he planned to carry out a mass shooting — a random attack common in the U.S. these days

Well they’re not wrong, but it’s kind of surreal to see it plainly said like that.

Hey, many actual members of the bar have said it is now legal (in that he is immune from prosecution) for Joe Biden to order the military to kill Donald Trump. You’ll forgive me if I trust their analysis over that of oxjox@lemmy.ml.

The President can fire employees that refuse to have sex with him. Firing executive branch employees is well within the President’s power. If they don’t submit to him, he can fire them. Official act.

No, he can just order members of Congress to be executed until they pass the law he wants.

It’s also in the The Cask of Amontillado. Great word, ejaculate.
