Thank you! I looked it up before and the only thing I found was that the default setting had changed.

Default after Pixel 5 is to bring up Google Assistant with a long press of the power button.

And to get the reboot option on Pixels, long press Power and Volume Up. Infinitely more annoying than just long pressing the power button.

Correct. But the same goes for Bluesky.

I wish they would cite numbers proving this. Usage on another platform does not necessarily indicate an exodus. Bluesky may have seen a jump in users by a million but that only puts it up to 17 million users which is not much compared to Twitter’s 250 million daily users.

You hear that, @frandrescher? Head over to Bluesky and/or Mastodon and take your minions with you!

Note: I have no idea how to Twitter.

I also got that article recommendation and had a good laugh.

There is a slight learning curve to Mastodon. Is there a method for verifying accounts? Honest question there. I signed up for Mastodon years ago but I used it as often as I used Twitter which is to say never.

SAG making a push for union members to leave it would definitely help.

Even bipartisan efforts cannot stop Texas’ execution boner.

Wikipedia says the village is not even that big and only had a population of 223 in 2020. It is basically two highways coming together with a couple other streets.

The officers likely were not one of the people in town. A town like that is too small to have dedicated police. The country sheriff’s department has people patrol and respond to specific areas of the county.

I doubt the kid was stealing. They picked him up by the cemetery. Not much to steal there. He was probably just dicking around like pretty much every 11 year old in a small town does because there is not shit to do.

When they did this at my wife’s work back on 2017, the guy they took wasn’t deported because he paid a couple thousand dollar fine. The employer who illegally hired him paid nothing.

You don’t want a government in direct control of the money supply. There is a very high negative correlation between central bank independence and inflation. Countries without independent central banks have much higher inflation. In conclusion, Lee is a fucking idiot.

Rape jokes still are not funny.

Graft

the acquisition of gain (such as money) in dishonest or questionable ways

A grift would be them getting the money illegally through something like a con. Graft is technically legal but clearly dishonest.

The university president gets an absurd income of over $1 million per year. Almost $1500/year of a student’s tuition simply goes to paying the president. University of Washington’s president (references because I went there) also makes over a million but the school also has 51k students so each student gives the president a $20 per year.

The school also got hundreds of millions of government funds to revamp the school. DeSantis replaced the board with his friends, most of whom have no background in education. This whole thing is basically one giant graft.

Then we can bitch and moan that Vance got no votes in the primary and was anointed the presidency.

And then we get Vance. Joy.

They just have to be confirmed by the majority of the Senate. If every Democrat goes to confirm, there is nothing Republicans can do.

The term is subscription hopping.
