If was all Blue States, with a Democratic Federal DOJ, it's quite possible that it's just political messaging. With a mix of Blue & Red States, it's still possible it's messaging or a (rare) common-enemy, but it's more likely they think something's actually there, and they don't want to waste their time playing nice with the "other side".

Government ~~loans~~ ownership would be the way to go there.

FTFY. Neoliberal policies like this got us into this situation, they aren't the solution.

It's too bad this has a MediaTek SoC. That means it's unlikely to see 3rd party ROM support which makes the limited software support hurt even more.

If it was all Blue States, if probably agree, but it does include a few Deep Red States with North Dakota, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Tennessee, etc. That makes me cautiously optimistic.

Tell me you wouldn’t drive a brand new BYD if it was $10,000 like it is in China.

It wouldn't be that price in the US anyways. The BYD Dolphin starts at €30K in Europe which is pretty comparable to the Chevy Bolt EV. Prices are similar in Australia and other places too.

Agreed. I just see one that's brighter and that makes it hard to not prefer it.

This really echos of the Sixties Scoop here in Canada (and similar schemes elsewhere).

This stood out to me:

Changes to YouTube and Facebook video monetization rules favouring short videos akin to TikTok reels also led to a reduction in revenue from the group’s mostly longer-form content, the filing said.

Stand up is really, really good for short-form video. All the comedians I follow post individual jokes that link to their full sets. I'm surprised Just for Laughs couldn't replicate this.

Izzy's repo is on 0.0.63 if that interests you.

They were going to have the PA day later in April anyways. I think this is a good example of being a bit flexible!

Not the point of this article, but the last sentence stuck out to me:

But new figures released in December 2023 showed that, during Eyre’s tenure, the number of reported sexual assaults doubled in a one-year period.

They phrase that as a bad thing, isn't that a good thing? It probably means Members actually think it's worth reporting.

I'm not sure about that since it removes a lot of eyes who want poachers gone since they hurt the bottom line both on supply and demand. I was listening to the House podcast, and they were talking with legal fishers (who know everyone in the legit industry) and report poachers, but enforcement never comes.
