Don’t encourage that behavior in your cat. Hands aren’t toys. Get cat toys for you and your cat to play with together.

Beep boop. No lies detected.

On mobile, when everyone was releasing their new voice assistant technologies, Cortana outperformed them all. On desktop I agree that Cortana was a waste of space.

Affordable health care for all is the future liberals want.

I’ve been a MS products fan since Windows Phone, Cortana, and OneNote stole my heart. I loved the great features that Windows 10 and Edge provided out-of-the box. Bing provided better results than Google for some time.

But Phone was never accepted by the market, and with it, Cortana faded away. OneNote hasn’t kept up with the market, and they somehow broke the cursor on mobile. Sticky Notes lost compatibility with Dark Mode. They started pushing ads to Windows start menu, and embedded ads in Edge Collections.

Microsoft makes great software, then fuck it all up. Oh well, back to Linux.

Wait a second. Cops AREN’T supposed to punch suspects in the face?

Yes. I think it’s especially important for attracting (or perhaps more accurately, maintaining) new users to the fediverse.

Because Star Trek future doesn’t have their favorite features: bigotry, inequality, and runaway capitalism.

Like I said your original request (statistics of “legal” CCW permit holder, without premeditation, discharging a firearm, in California) is incredibly specific, making it very difficult to find quality research. But here’s what I was able to find for you:

Johns Hopkins has this: https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2022/study-finds-significant-increase-in-firearm-assaults-in-states-that-relaxed-conceal-carry-permit-restrictions

This one includes some good details as to why these studies are challenging, and what causes errors in the data: https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/analysis/concealed-carry/violent-crime.html

Here’s a summary from GVPedia (note the sources in the footnotes): https://crimeresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/GVPedia-Permitless-Carry-Factsheet-Feb2022.pdf

Hopes this helps.

PRI is a right-wing political policy advocacy group. Do you have a nonpartisan source?

It’s not even an innovative design. It’s a DeLorean mashed with the futuristic Ford seen in the Hill Valley town square in Back to the Future 2.

I’d love to see manufacturers take a more retro-futurism approach. Then they can do physical buttons AND interesting aesthetics.

I have no idea, that’s a very specific and difficult statistic to try and research. Do you have the answer?

Oh yeah?! Well I’m gonna celebrate women, blacks, and gays even HARDER!

hmmm. Sounds like something an insurrectionist would say.

Jesus Christ.

You lost me with all the ads baked into the OS. You’re not gonna win me back with… checks notes Notepad.

I’ve dipped my toes in Linux a few times over the years, but after Windows started pushing ads to the start menu, the lock screen, and the Edge Collections pane, they pushed pushed me off the cliff.

You don’t get rich being an introvert who keeps out of trouble.

HE LED AN INSURRECTION! How the hell are we falling for it a second time?
