Plus it is just ugly to look at.

🚨 I'm looking for a person or group to take over the running of pdx.social. I've been running the site since 2017 and I'd like to pass it on. If you're interested please reach out and please boost. 🚨

At least we don't have mean tweets!

In response to campus anti-Israel protests, the House is rushing to to vote on a new bill, HR 6090. This new bill would officially define "Antisemitism" so the federal government can sue, prosecute, or sanction more people, businesses, and universities for supposed violations of civil rights law.
I abhor antisemitism, but this bill is flagrantly unconstitutional and an appalling attack on the First Amendment.
This bill would make it illegal to compare Israeli policies to Nazi policies. It would make it illegal to describe Israel as racist. It would make it illegal to accuse an American citizen of being more loyal to Israel than to the United States.
All of those behaviors might be stupid or repugnant, but they are indisputably protected by the First Amendment. Yet now, Congressional Republicans are rushing to gut the First Amendment in order to pass a Europe-style ban on supposed "hate speech."
Rioters should be arrested. Unhinged Israel-hating students who take over buildings and refuse to leave should be expelled.
But I stand with @repthomasmassie: This bill is an affront to the Constitution and must not pass.

I cannot overstate how dangerous to free speech and a healthy democracy it is to redefine all anti-Zionism and criticism of the state of Israel as antisemitism. You know who's loudly critical of Zionism and the Israeli govt? Jews. A lot of Jews.

Would you donate to a college or athletics fund for the middle school girls who banned from their own sport after they were brave enough to refuse to compete against boys?
Bravery should be rewarded. Let’s do something awesome.

The bill is a disgrace and you should seriously question any Republican who supports it. The legislation would in fact label criticism of the Israeli government as “antisemitic.” Any notion that Americans should be legally penalized in any way for criticizing any government — even a foreign government — is just pure madness and un-American in the extreme.

I live in an at will state and for me personally, that is the way I like it.
Two weeks is still generally accepted as an informal polite rule, but there is nothing stopping people from not giving notice. Other than the general rule of don't burn bridges behind you.

I have used both. but I haven't used either in over a year. Calling was much better on the PP than on the Pro a year ago. The Pro was virtually unusable as a phone (though, I managed for a year myself with it).
Call quality and general usability is why I recommend the Librem. It is definitely more expensive but overall it is a much better product.
@pavel @techsaviours @lolgzs @Lioh @justin
No, its not great, but it is a vast improvement over both the librem and pinephone a year ago.
I keep a charger at work, at home, in the jeep, and in my backpack. I have accepted the fact that I will probably ruin the battery.
@pavel @techsaviours @lolgzs @Lioh @justin
So, I accidentally left the librem in the jeep last night.
It's battery percentage was in the 90's when I got home at 7:30ish. It was at 46% at 6:30 this morning.
@malwaretech @mrhamel
Why does that matter. Is it only ok for him to protest at your house if you agree with what he is protesting about?

In my opinion, TikTok should not be banned in the USA, even though such a ban may benefit the 𝕏 platform.
Doing so would be contrary to freedom of speech and expression. It is not what America stands for.

Until you have to change the batteries. Then it jumps up to the most expensive car to maintain.

what would make you more likely to use a #LinuxMobile device?
@pavel @techsaviours @lolgzs @Lioh @justin
It has been over a year since I used the pinephone, but usability on the Librem was vastly improved over the pinephone when I moved over. Call quality on the pinephone made it virtually unusable as a phone a year ago.

If I remember right, last year when I went kayaking, I left itin suspend for asbout 8 hours and it wss down to around 40-45%. Since it is my daily driver, I don't usually leave it in suspend that long.
Light usage, it will last most of the day.
I keep a charger at the house and office, as well as in my jeep and backpack so that I always have one wherever I go.
