He thinks he has nothing to lose by demonizing people who can’t vote. But lots of folks who can vote care about those people and stand in solidarity with them.

Source: I’m one.

I remember Kamala making a very specific concrete proposal. She said she would support the bill that Trump killed a couple months back.

Electing someone who believes that we should have laws and enforce them is exactly what we should do.

When she was a prosecutor, it was not her job to change the laws or decide which ones to enforce. If we don’t want non-violent drug users and truants prosecuted, then we should change those laws. We have a process for that, and it doesn’t include prosecutors making those decisions for us.

Nixon as well. It’s almost like pattern.

I thought the situation was a little like Android. Google develops an open source version (along with as many independent developers who wish to contribute), then sticks on a bunch of proprietary BS and sells that version to phone companies. If chromium is to chrome like vanilla android is to android with g-services, then I guess my question really becomes: is google making this change in the underlying code base, or just in the BS they put on top?

Or am I confused about how the connection works between chrome and chromium?

Will this change be implemented in Chromium too? Or will it / should it finally become independent of Chrome?

“Unlock the door” is a really strange way to say “lock the door.” What a dolt.

I’m not taking this side, but just pointing out: there is an argument to be made that the artist’s choices are irrelevant once they’re dead. By becoming a public figure in life, they have made their life’s work the property of the culture. This idea was hotly debated after Kurt Cobain’s private notebooks were published after his death. I’m still not sure what I think about that.

I have a printing of Einstein’s private notebooks too, and I’m so glad that was possible.

If you can give a reference to any such book, I’d be very interested to see it.

Most of what you said is exactly my point. It’s true the word Linux, used properly, refers to a kernel and not an operating system. But that’s not the way the word is used in practice, and it is not what OP meant when they used it. They meant " an OS with the Linux kernel and GNU userspace utilities." When the word Linux is used that way, Android is not Linux.

they are operating systems that use the linux kernel, just like GNU/Linux (aka “Linux”) does.

kernel != operating system

For better or worse the more correct name GNU/Linux did not catch on and is universally shortened to Linux. Android uses the Linux kernel, but is not GNU/Linux, and therefore is not Linux.

You have to, if your horse literally can’t make it across. It may not go well, but you have no choice.

It didn’t work for Florida though. Desantis was running for the nomination, not for president. Had he won the nomination, he would have had to resign as governor.

Dred Scott?

Sometimes precedent is plain wrong.

ETA: not in this instance though. This was a time they should have respected precedent.

It’s not about nostalgia. It’s about passive aggressively needling Musk, and it works and I love it.

You seem to be taking this a bit personally - did someone pour water in your bag?

An eye for an eye is not justice, and it doesn’t lead to peace.

That’s so weird because a quote from WaPo had him saying he could hear the sincerity in her apology.

Of course, in New Dehli it was 49 degrees, not 121.

Sorry for the snark. ;-)
