This isn’t the dems fault, and I don’t think this would have worked (the republicans probably would have chickened out), but in a dream scenario where politics wasn’t politics, I would have liked to see a coalition of both sides come together to elect someone like Emmer (hopefully I got that name right). He was the best solution the dems were ever gonna get, and personally I would have had a lot of respect for dems swallowing their pride and voting for him to keep the far right from taking control.

Of course, it’s all moot as long as the house keeps that awful single person can vote to vacate rule on the books. The far right would have just taken turns with movements to vacate and create a different flavor of turmoil.

All that said, it’s not the dems fault we are here - it’s the fault of the freedom caucus, the party that let those people become candidates, AND the people that voted for them.

my guess is the software equivalent is the architect role - basically someone high level that doesn’t code much but does design the overall way that systems interact (or, to put it redundantly, designs the architecture of the full system)

however i don’t know if this term is en vogue as much anymore except for very large scale businesses (i would bet money that banks employ architects, for example)

hey! i watched him in HS as he absolutely ran over everything on the field!

honestly i don’t know why he did so poorly on the NFL - did he have drug/legal problems, or was he just a flop?

is he required to be in court for his criminal trials?

In case I couldn’t love the factorio team more, they go and throw in a TERRIFIC futurama quote. absolute beauty.

edit: FREE WIRES! yay!!! those poor mods are gonna be out of a job :)

is this a self-reported number? or should we really take it at face value and believe it’s accurate?

I really just wanna see the judge eviscerate this “no victims” defense BS. We do NOT wait for someone to be hurt to enforce the law. Can you imagine how many speeding tickets would be pled out of if this was a legitimate defense?

Even if you scope it down to the case at hand, we’d keep letting people commit financial fraud until the bank is finally harmed. And guess what happens when banks get fucked? The govt uses the common people’s tax dollars to bail them out.

why does that initiative “only” need 383k signatures when the abortion initiative needs 600k? i’m assuming they don’t already have 220k signatures to explain the offset

one last gift with a final check and a letter congratulating them on making it to the real world. i think one of my aunts was still sending me stuff but i got a letter from my uncle i think telling me i’d made it to the real world. at some point the gifts felt nice but we’re also kinda pointless so I totally appreciated the letter and the congrats.

edit: i also agree with the other comment tho. if you see something that makes you think of someone, by all means buy them a gift! but you don’t have to force something every year

ok i’m in love with the williams livery. anyone know if I can get a model of that?

fair changes, but the ONLY way forward is to fire riccitello. i don’t see how anyone can trust them again until that happens.

removal of the retroactivity piece will likely appease a large number of devs tho (dunno if it’ll be the majority but that was the biggest wtf for me)

[–] InfiniteLoop@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

there’s already some devious levels from the community :)

i was also happy to see it’s got new levels from the devs too - had originally thought it was only gonna contain rebuilds of existing ones

 

Currently long-pressing on a comment displays a ripple but doesn’t do anything beyond collapsing that single comment (same behavior as simple tap). It would be great if long-press could collapse a comment thread all the way up to the root comment.

Thanks, all of your updates have been terrific!

 

Is it possible to view other instance's frontpages from within an instance? Or, is that something where you just have to go directly to that other instance, and then if you find something interesting, you then navigate to that community via lemm.ee/c/comm@instance and then find the post?

(I discovered yesterday post IDs are instance-specific so if there's an easy way to go directly to a post you found while not inside lemm.ee that would be useful info too)
