I'm confused -- if he knew Trump was going to be so mad, why didn't he just release better numbers? That's how it used to work in the USSR and plenty of people were able to keep their government jobs.
It's still out there and going amazing!!! Despite the lack of mainstream media coverage, blockchain and smart contacts couldn't be doing better.
On an unrelated topic, does anyone want to buy some NFTs? I can give you a really good deal. No take-backs, though.
This is sad. Various programs have gone through the same type of situation with Debian stable. Debian is very conservative and doesn't ship upgrades quickly on their stable branch. Various authors have complained because they frequently get emails / bug reports from Debian users, who happen to be using a few-years-old version of their software.
I do understand the frustration, but it does feel a bit like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
It's possible there are other solutions, like detecting whatever random issue is frustrating people and pop up a dialog.
For example, if he's upset with it being broken on Wayland, why not detect Wayland and start off with a dialog: "Wayland is beta and is not officially supported. See FAQ here: [........]"
Just blocking people feels over the top. But hey, it's his project, if he wants to go this way, it's his choice and right. Depending on the license he might get forked, but that's just how it goes.
Typical copes:
"It's ONLY 4 degrees... that's not very hot! Liberals are blowing this out of proportion."
"Since 100% of climate change can't be attributed to human activity, what's the point in trying to change our behavior?"
"The spring was unusually cool... so much for global warming!"
"I'll be dead by the time this matters, so who cares?"
"I don't live by the ocean, so a rise in sea levels is nothing to worry about."
"The ice caps are actually getting LARGER! Liberals are just making all this up."
"Do you REALLY think they kept weather data back 150 years ago? Certainly that's propaganda."
I don't know why people are so against trying to do something. I'd like to think if it was scientifically proven that people had 0% to do with changing climate that we STILL should try to do something. It always made no sense to me as just to dismiss it as some kind of "natural change" in the Earth that we shouldn't oppose.
Mexico's got two more weeks to pay for the wall.
One of my favorite copes in the USA is that all this weather data is faked by Democrats / leftists, so no need to worry about it.
Another popular take is: "China is really filthy, so why should we try to be clean?"
"By the time things go really bad, I'll be dead, so who cares?"
Basically selfish people being selfish. I'd like to leave the world better than I found it, not worse.
This is why we can't have anything nice.
The real "win" for Hertz here is that they can outsource their "accountability" to the machine. Associates love to say "I wish I could help you, but the system does X", "We can't override the system"
It's all bullshit... Hertz put the system in themselves and could include as many overrides or as much control as they please. This is a transparent, customer-hostile money grab. They KNOW that many people won't contest these charges. They KNOW it's an extra revenue source.
If you want to see something similar to this scumbaggery, there's a new "vape/smoke" detector marketed towards hotels. It says RIGHT IN THEIR sales material "Unlock a new revenue stream!"
Companies aren't doing this to make things more fair or efficient. They are doing it to siphon money out of the customer's pocket, and they are praying you either don't notice or just accept it.
Really disgusting and makes me wish we had some of the same consumer protections as the EU.
One of the problems is having our current "swindler in chief" at the White House is it's emboldening companies to do this type of shenanigan. After all, if the president runs various scummy businesses, why can't anyone else? The fish is rotting from the head down.

Uh oh! Don't tell the reds that.
Per capita is always the way to go, otherwise the only cities considered free of crime would be the nearly deserted ones in the Midwest with 100-500 people.
I clicked through and had to go to a second linked article(!) for the top 5. The #1 is "Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas", which is pretty much a blue city now.
This doesn't really support your claim that "they are all red". Also, we call a "blueish spot surrounded by red" a blue city.
From what I am learning about in this thread is there isn't really the idea of a "red city", so when people talk shit about "blue cities" they are just talking about city life in general. There does not appear to be any very large cities filled with Republicans.
Add the fucking shit to the headline: Spoiler: it's Erythritol

My grandfather was a fortunate man all his life. He enjoyed a lot of success in his personal life, in business, and in every aspect. We didn't talk a whole lot, but when he started feeling sick and we knew the end was coming, he opened up quite a bit.
One day I went to visit him and he motioned for me to come closer. I moved closer to his bed, the bed we both probably knew that would be his deathbed. He had a stern look on his face, and he gave a gravelly whisper: "Son, do you want to know the secret to good fortune?"
The hair on the back of my neck stood up. I knew I was only seconds away from learning whatever combination of wisdom, luck and skill that he had worked on his whole life.
He told me: "If you want to be successful, first make a billion dollars."
Since then, I've noticed he was absolutely correct. Ever notice how the world itself seems to bend to the will of billionaires? From that day on, I was a changed man and I vowed to get that billion dollars for myself.
