You being very generous by calling the characters interesting. The character line-up was the most generic, by-the-numbers GotG ripoff I’ve ever seen.

Well, that is until the Chevron decision got knocked down.

This article just sort of ends without the expected detail the first paragraph was alluding to. I mean, it technically described the thing in the headline, but I would hardly call this an “article”.

No, it’s not. But, it’s one of those life decisions that will completely improve their future in the long run.

The cost of living where you live is just as important as the wages you make.

Agreed. Needing to “tighten the belt” out of a $200K salary is insane to me. Don’t live in Silicon Valley, and maybe you don’t need to pay four times as much for everything.

Your last sentence makes no sense.

People are sick of far-right agendas polluting the world and their countries, and realize that racism and isolationism isn’t the answer.

You might find this surprising, but elections aren’t won based on foreign policy issues.

This sounds like a horribly reductive take. Correlation does not mean causation.

Do you know how to break the cycle? Use open-source software. Use standard protocols that aren’t locked behind some greedy corporation.

Why not take the features from Discord/Slack and integrate it into a new IRC or Jabber protocol?

Microsoft spent millions of dollars and clout to lock their OEM out of offering Linux on the desktop. There’s a good reason why you don’t see Linux PCs on the shelves of Walmart.

Oh, you mean something like GPL, which has been responsible for more technological freedom than any other concept in the past 30 years, except maybe the internet? Even the Internet was built on open standards and public RFCs, with billions and billions of Internet-bound Linux devices.

Let’s not treat this like it’s some new problem. The solution is right there. Just pick it up and use it, and thank your local OSS developer for actually maintaining the other software you use.

This is an overly simplified summary that doesn’t describe the objection to mentioning Congress as the only body to enforce the amendment. It was 9-0, but 4 justices made a special declaration pointing that out.

While all nine justices agreed that Trump should be on the ballot, there was sharp disagreement from the three liberal members of the court and a milder disagreement from conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett that their colleagues went too far in determining what Congress must do to disqualify someone from federal office.

Country size has a huge impact on the ability to make sweeping changes to infrastructure and public opinion. A country the size of one US state can do whatever they want and it’s not going to take 50 years to implement.

South Korea has broadband everywhere? Sure, they are a rich country the size of Indiana and lacing all of that fiber is trivial compared to the entire land mass of the US, or worse, Russia or China. Governmental demands scale much differently the larger the country, and tax doesn’t scale in a 1:1 manner to its land mass.

Their policies on automated updates, garbage QA, and recall history are huge turnoffs. Oh, and attachments to Elon Musk.

Both of these takes are extremely cynical, and should be taken with a grain of salt. Israel’s actions with Gaza and the extremely right-wing PM in charge should not define Israel as a country and the reasons why the US has them as an ally, just like how Trump does not define the US as a country.

To be clear, I’m not suggesting that they shouldn’t be criticized. But, let’s criticize the actions, instead of making up reasons that the US is involved with Israel in the first place.

“New”

LAION is a database of URLs, gathered from publicly-available data on the Web. Who is “taking” anything?

This new “journalism” site is not doing itself any favors with bullshit headlines like this. And this is not the first wildly inaccurate article I’ve seen from 404 Media.

Spain is also the size of a single state.

No, that’s literally how the laws in most countries work. It turns out men and women have different biology.
