You’ve got it backwards. Of the two, Windows is closer to the open source ethos. Apple is a total control freak. Obviously both are bad, though.

This has placed the prime minister in a political vise. If he commits to postwar Palestinian rule in Gaza and begins acting seriously to establish it, he loses the far right. But if he commits to resettling Gaza, he loses the Israeli majority and the international community. And so, as he has often done in the past, Netanyahu has chosen not to choose
Oh, he’s chosen.
In addition to what @JakenVeina@lemm.ee said, a lot of universities have endowments that are invested in stocks, bonds, etc., to provide a baseline level of passive income. Divestment would mean getting rid of any existing investments and barring future investments in Israeli companies and companies that do extensive business with Israel. The result is to lower the access to cash and value of said companies.
Divested from Israel. The answer is that they should have divested from Israel.
Don’t go to https://massgrave.dev/ and follow the instructions there, that would be copyright infringement and would deprive an already insanely wealthy corporation of some funds.
Are you sure we won’t have to worry about Trump running again? Because I am absolutely not.
Thin blue line was not co-opted by the alt right, it’s just straight up fascist and always has been.
That would be a shocking change of behavior for them.
In your opinion, is fascism more of a threat now than it was in 2020?
Fascism is inevitable if we count on someone like Hindenburg or Biden to save us, because they either can’t or don’t want to.
That’s a good point. If only left-wing Germans had backed Hindenburg despite his right leanings, they could have won the 1932 presidential election and stopped fascism in its tracks.
Funny how the person we always end up having to unite behind is someone who would have been a republican 20 years ago, and not someone who’ll actually try to make change
My God, this. I keep wondering what would happen if they stopped yelling at us and tried yelling at Biden to course correct instead. It’s hard at times not to think that they don’t actually want positive change, which I know isn’t true, it’s just that their actions sure seem that way
So the Dems need to figure out how to balance those two things by appeasing the powerful interest and paying lip service to the voters.
I mean, that’s what they’re doing now, right? “Oh, we all want to do these things, but the big mean republicans won’t let us do them, we’re just smol beans who can’t help it, we couldn’t possibly kill the filibuster or reform the court, it’s our birthday, why do you hate us?”
Stop maligning Waffle House by comparing it to the White House.
They tried to pass public option, not universal healthcare. Plus, if the rest of the democrats had really wanted it they could have done away with the filibuster and had an 8+ vote margin. But they didn’t really want it, and they wanted a convenient excuse for why they couldn’t do it, so the filibuster remains in place. And people still buy the flimsy excuse.
My guess is that it’s related to the Weber-Fechner laws of perception. This is the same principle that explains why turning a second light on doesn’t make a room seem twice as bright. Fechner’s formulation is “the intensity of our sensation increases as the logarithm of an increase in energy rather than as rapidly as the increase.”
Another way of writing that 33 percent prefer another politician is that 67 percent prefer Trump. Last I checked, 67 percent support is enough to secure the Republican nomination.
Again, another way of writing this is that 53 percent of Republican voters aged 18 to 34 years old support Trump. I’ll double check my arithmetic, but even this seems to be enough to win primaries.
With a title like “One in three Republicans now think Donald Trump was wrong candidate choice,” I would expect to see a poll which showed that fewer than “One in three Republicans” used to “think Donald Trump was wrong candidate choice.” That seems like a straightforward way to make the point this article is trying to make. Yet none is provided. Instead we are treated to some general electorate polling showing some minor fluctuation and some republicans who were already critical of Trump continuing to be critical of Trump.
The centrist will to make the Republicans look better than they are is so powerful.
