I think the "we won't do it with out your blessing" is a last gambit to get Trump on board, I don't think they would let Trump veto our support.

@maxleibman this should be a poll

Which one is you?

I think the bigger issue is one of perceived truth. Their exist a click of people that seems to belive society in its entirety is political theatre, the so called big government.

That is the only way I have been able to rationalise the belief that banning abortion, vaccines, or what have you could classify as small government.

@Lyle @futurebird I have started to wonder if the imbalance between the perceived safety of car users, and the actual safety of other road users isn't the causes of more harm than the safety system prevents.

For every car user we save; how many other road/street user do we kill or maim?

The military has a set amount of time they need to be in the air for training. Not to mention the, us, military is infamous for bad allocations of resources.

California is within the 100(?) mile of the border where law enforcement can ask for assistance from the military. I doubt military culture would allow leadership to turn down any request, the military take a lot of pride in showing up when asked.

I actually like the "new" name, for too long have we allowed double speak in agency names.

American companies announce only 1,494 new jobs in August, the lowest for the month since 2009, per Bloomberg.

Layoffs surged 39% to 85,979.

And the US now has more unemployed than job openings for the first time since April 2021.

You don’t realize how weak the economy is.

Don’t quit your job. Now is not the time.

If you lose your job, it will to take a long time to find another one.

@FluentInFinance

The economy is probably fine, assuming you only mean gdp. We are probably seeing a massive rise in productivity, because of AI.

AI is fundamentally useless at doing anything then being average, as it turns out a lot of employers would love to replace their staff with the average output off their staff.

@impactology all the time, unfortunately the only thing I know how to build is computers, and Legos both expensive. And I have no idea what to do with the thing when I am done.

I did enjoy building my Framework laptop earlier this year.

Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed by just staying forever with words I crave to do non-mental, only physical hands on stuff

Don't you get tired of just processing endless streams of words, concepts, and abstract ideas.

Where your brain is essentially saying: I need to feel and move and build something real, not just manipulate symbols!

@youranoncentral.bsky.social

Israel has always read as antisemitic propaganda, it's weird how that is spreading to the US Congress. How am I supposed to tell the difference between actual antisemitic propaganda, and the truth?

@NilaJones @CindyWeinstein I don't know the details as I didn't read the article. But assuming the military is involved they could pickup an assembly of vehicles with awacs, providing all the targeting information ice would need.

@mcc I switched from windows specifically because the lack of perceived control. Linux desktop attract people with weird, and unusual requirements.

@mcc my read is that the "desktop" is a fundamentally broken abstraction. I don't know how we will ever provide the required user control, at the same time as the necessary stability in the abstraction layer for applications to build on.

@a3nm

Ah, good question!

One of several short answers is that, e.g., if these funders/countries stop fduning legacy journals, these journals will eventually go bankrupt and then ORE is their replacement.

An attempt at a longer answer is in our paper:
