It all started with the Powell memo, which set off a movement to legalise corruption in the US.

Because democrats decided to go with a Republican AG to show that they’re not ‘weak on crime’.

Because if there’s no hard deadline for negotiations, the old contract that favours the employers more is still in force. There’s no incentive for employers to ratify a new contract except for the credible threat of a strike.

Union drives?

K-9 is probably an Android only client? They’d have to either find an open source iOS app to build on, or build a new one from scratch.

Thunderbird is finally out of beta so you can get it through the play store or F-Droid. K-9 itself was also updated so it’s now basically a K-9 branded version of Thunderbird.

Isn’t this part of the auto configuration stuff? Basically there’s a standard where you can add some DNS records to your domain and/or a standard file on your website so e-mail clients can automatically prepopulate all the email settings so you only need to worry about entering your email and password.

Anyone still posting there is probably not going to leave. Either way, it’s not like this block was hard to circumvent, you could just log out or use a different browser to see the posts by someone that blocked you, so this doesn’t really change a lot.

It was already a challenge back in those days. I ran the Nokia N9 for a while, and within a year it went from being amazing at messaging due to its messaging app mixing different XMPP providers in one interface (Google Talk, Facebook Messenger, SMS, etc in a single interface) to everyone in the industry suddenly giving up on that and only supporting in-app messaging.

There were valiant attempts to create open source versions of popular apps, but those efforts were always intentionally sabotaged by those providers.

The thing is, if you do something illegal on election day, and cause a whole polling station in a democratic area to be shut down, that still ends up with a bunch of votes not being cast, and potentially an election bring swung.

These people count on getting pardoned after the fact.

Not to mention the inflationary effects of shareholders skimming a set percentage in profits off everything that gets transported over rail. If the government ran it at cost, a huge drag on the economy would be removed.

Agricultural land specifically. Growing stuff in the city is just not a great idea from a land use perspective.

It’s another one of those journalists that decided to wait until his book was done. Bob Woodward did a ton of this as well, sitting on things that we should’ve been told in real time.

“Free speech zones”

Bush was a fascist as well. Post 9/11 any dissent was crushed for years, which is how they got to push the Iraq war through.

Wtf are you talking about, western civilisation doesn’t depend on cash bail, most western countries don’t have this and they’re not lawless dystopian hellholes. A judge can easily determine if someone is likely to abscond or reoffend in an initial hearing, and that’s how it’s done basically anywhere except the US.

And I’m saying cash bail needs to be abolished, and only the criteria I outlined should be considered. I know what cash bail is for, I just reject the concept altogether, as there’s no way to make sure it’s fair.

A poor person would never make bail (or would need to go into an exploitative loan arrangement), and there’s no number you could set for someone with the amount of wealth like Elon Musk that would keep them from fleeing.

This whole Lincoln project constituency is just political insiders that live in DC, nobody else is changing their vote based on their endorsement. It’s so weird that Democrats and the media keep chasing these assholes.

And I’d support him in that. Bush is hated by both Republicans and Democrats, they’ve got nothing to gain by courting him. They’ll lose more votes than they’d gain.

If they’re likely to flee or reoffend, jail them. If not, don’t. That’s how it works in most places.
