Is he ducking out to delay the decision on Trump’s presidential immunity case?
Fuck that! If he’s absent, the Court should simply be required to decide the case without him.

Humanity literally physically came together because it was necessary to rebuild.
I’m pretty sure that didn’t really happen until after the Vulcans showed up, TBH.
From Memory Alpha:
During the 2060s, Cochrane and his team of engineers began developing the warp drive. (Star Trek: First Contact) The challenge of inventing warp theory took Cochrane an extremely long time. (ENT: “Anomaly (ENT)”) In 2061, he was responsible for Earth’s first successful demonstration of light speed propulsion, though his work was far from complete. (VOY: “Friendship One”; ENT: “In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II” library computer file) His primary motivation for commencing warp technology was financial gain in the devastated, poverty-stricken America that existed in the wake of the Third World War.
He finally built Earth’s first warp ship, the Phoenix, in the hope its success would prove profitable and allow him to retire to a tropical island filled with naked women. A historical irony was that, contrary to the fact he went on to use the Phoenix to inaugurate an era of peace, Cochrane incorporated a weapon of mass destruction into its design; he constructed the Phoenix in a silo on a missile complex and used a Titan II missile as his launch vehicle.
(WWIII ended in 2053; First Contact was on 5 April 2063)
The Bell Riots (and Irish reunification) are due in a few months.
I remember that space is completely unforgiving and we just aren’t up to the task for anything more than a token selfie
“Wow, rude!” – Carl Sagan, probably
Goddamnit, stop making me click the downvote button twice!
Dog-sized dinosaurs are one of the most popular animals on the planet right now, so much so that they’re the default flavor “everything tastes like.”
That extra hour of wage theft is why it’s the most prevalent kind of theft.
Heck, if HA knew for certain it was a workday, it could boot the laptop for me…hmmm. Maybe something to think about for the future.
I’ve been meaning to look into how to integrate HA with a NextCloud CalDAV server or something, because I have a lot of ideas for automations that would be best triggered by calendar events (e.g. ringing an alarm [get ready time] + [travel time] before [appointment]).
I hate dishonest titles and URLs. In reality, this shit has nothing to do with “child sex content.”
You know there’s only one thing to do now, right? You have to make a 7-meter-tire tall bike.
(Don’t blame me; I don’t make the rules.)
Who gives a shit what the perp thinks? Report on the investigation itself, not some fuckwad’s reaction to it.
This bullshit is just a way for Newsweek to inject spin without making it seem like an editorial.
“Starting?”
Honestly, they were inviting that one upon themselves.
Those are not businesses. They are free projects which a dedicated person (or group of people) donate their time and energy to produce.
…and? That’s what makes them the best part of the Internet!
For most it is a money pit, but to them the passion is worth more. They do it for the love, not the money.
And it doesn’t stop them from existing, proving that the Internet does not actually have to run on profit.
This sounds like the kind of thing a Zoomer who has no memory of life before the Internet – or the Internet of the '90s before the advertisers got a hold of it, for that matter – would write.
AFAIK all the Lemmy apps have ads too.
LOL, nope. Try getting your apps from F-Droid instead of the Google Play Store.
Do you have any fucking clue at all just how much money projects like Wikipedia make through donations? Do you realize that Jellyfin has even gone so far as to ask people to stop donating because they have too much money?
Your claim that advertising “scales” and donations don’t is a straight-up Iie.
Go ask Wikipedia about their business model. Or the Linux kernel. Or any number of other Free Software projects that neither charge users a fee nor show ads.
It is a bullshit false dichotomy to claim that the only options for business models are charging fees or showing ads. Knock it off with the misinformation.
I think the good ol’ Alt-Right Playbook can shed some light on that one.
I linked to the specific part of the video that explains the particular point I want to make, but I recommend watching from the beginning anyway. Also, the extra-short TL;DR is basically that the Democratic party is structurally predisposed to continually give the benefit of the doubt and assume good faith, even when it is not only blatantly undeserved but also being actively exploited by their opponents.
