I am not savvy enough to understand the article at a technical level, but this says a lot about the right-wing mindset:
Other changes mandated by the EO include:
Another supcase unicorn beetle vote. I used them on my 3a and now on my 7a. Great cases.
We will deal with it, thanks for making this list ❤
After reading the newer comments I don’t know what to think. Maybe this changes based upon the country one finds one self in?
When is this from? When I was the age of the two kids shown, both of my parents were over 40 and I (nor my peers) wouldn’t have thought these things. Now I am over 40 and I still don’t think these things. I have a niece from a younger sibling who is this age, and she might think these things, but she is also allowed unfiltered access to youtube except when I am around.
Well this could make for a great “your mama” joke.
New image in my head for armchair quarterback.
Serious Queensryche vibes
Unfortunately for Floridians there are definitely open pit mines in Fla.
Very true! The whole domain squatting thing is pretty bizarre to me.
The .org seems to require a log in. I wonder what entity has these domains. I imagine the folks working to manifest the fediverse don’t have the capacity to buy up all the possible domains.
Haha this is the first thing I thought of. I didn’t know what kind of bird she was tho. FilmCow is great.
I never realized that was a kbin only thing. I just assumed my instance/mbin blocked that feature.
The MSPB dismissals got me since the MAGA folks seem so obsessed with anything that they deem to be not based on merit. Obviously they lie, and this is great evidence of that.
Mull is supposedly no longer being developed.
When I first got involved in this, I had a kbin and a lemmy account. I ended up focusing on the kbin, but it was useful to have the lemmy to see how things moderated. Kbin is dead now, but I still will occasionally use the lemmy to see how things look. I find it valuable. As an mbin person now, I think I should have some other instances in the mix as well. It’s a federation, and for me, I would like things to be appropriate for all of us. It’s kind of fun! Even if I am not a big user of other instances/federations?
Totally misunderstood the headline until I read the article. I work for the federal government, and most folks in my small town have the attitude that “they aren’t coming after jobs here, just people in DC or higher levels.” It is incredibly hard to change these perceptions, even when things DO affect folks at the local level. People can make excuses for almost anything 😑
In theory it could reduce the budget
It really is a dog and pony show. It looks good to certain people, but it doesn’t pencil out, especially long term as you mention.
Are there alternatives to Nine? I’ve used that for several years for my personal email because of exchange, but it has had issues the last couple of years. Not open source as far as I know.
While I have a lot of issues with Department of Defense things, being over budget is a pretty common challenge in the private sector, too. Transportation is over budget a lot because we underfund it. Not that the current administration cares.
