I’m voting for Dukakis

Yeah, but I don’t own the bus

I feel like Meta could do a ton more damage with my information than Tencent

“Yeah, but that event was taken out of context!” Or “Well, yeah, he did and said those things, but that’s not what he meant!”

It’s all cassarole down here

Gulf of the Americas

Don’cha know

Cursed

Technically correct

Continuing to call it the gulf of mexico will piss him off more

Dems never have the balls to wield their power effectively. They could have a supermajority in both houses and still wouldn’t even be able to create an honorary holiday like notional french fry day or some other meaningless gesture.

Hah… four. I see you’re an optimist.

They want to purge all dissenters. They only want people in power who are loyal to the cause. Stop me if you’ve heard this one.

President Musk would like a word

Or that, in true democratic fashion, they belived that the populace knows best. Allowing it or remaining silent could have been intentional. When forming a new government to escape from corruption, you wouldn’t want to create a situation that would outright exclude anyone that the corrupt government labels a felon.

They could never have imagined such vast distribution of misinformation and all three branches being so thouroughly compromised.

Reluctant leaders are often better anyway…

I was about to say “ExtremeDullard for president!” But realized people might think I’m a Trump supporter.

How much weed can one man smoke?

There is some twisted logic to this. Your’e right, the system is broken, but this decision potentially avoids the constitutional crisis of whether a president can pardon themself. It may also make an appeal less likely. In short, it may be the best way to make the conviction stick. Now, what good is a conviction if there’s no punishment? The only thing I can think of that would have any impact on Trump is civil liability stemming from a criminal conviction.

Five months later I log back into Lemmy, so sorry for the ancient reply, but I wanted to thank you for correcting my misconception.

And look how many Linux distro producing companies there are that are the size of Google or that earn even a significant fraction of what Google earns.

Linux is a totally different ballgame. It started out with open source and free access in mind. Linux distros are often made by volunteer developers who do it for the love of the game, non-profit companies, or companies that have found some way to monitize it like RHEL. And companies certainly pay for support, standardization, and exhaustive stability validation. There’s also the commercial use of Red Hat’s customizations, and arguably faster responses to patching vulnerabilities.
