Lol wut? Even on Windows 11, I can use a local account with zero online signup. Linux is fantastic, I have two machines running it, but there are some specific softwares that are still Windows dependent (think video editing, music production, VFX).

OO ShutUp+ has no problem disabling Recall and I’ve had no file explorer issue from it. I also had to rerun OSU+ after each update as its a setting Microsoft resets.

And vote against their own interests, like prop 33 (rent control).

Interesting to watch the numbers change as ballots continue to be counted. There’s still a huge amount of uncounted mail-in ballots.

Not state level offenses, only federal crimes, at least as the law stands now.

He can’t pardon himself of state charges, only federal, at least for now.

OK, yes, you are correct and I had not looked at the comparison study. Very cool! Ty.

Cats, even domesticated species, are still obligate carnivores, as in they will die of malnutrition eventually if they are put on a non-meat diet.

They 100% need to eat meat to survive. Vegan cat food will kill them slowly as they can’t properly process the proteins in plants.

Cats are carnivores.

That’s a good strategy to ensure you die: a mooses torso is already higher than the hood of a lot of SUVs, so you’re taking a moose to the face.

I was able to get my Toyota’s DCM disabled and did a data collection opt-out with the company. It was a total pain in the ass and they tried very hard to dissuade me, but it is possible (depending on manufacturer).

Trader Joe’s changed their stance during the pandemic and are aggressively fighting unionization. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trader-joes-attorney-nlrb-unconstitutional_n_65b41e7ae4b014b873b11cc2 https://inthesetimes.com/article/trader-joes-union-organizing-fight

Soon, GOG and all other storefronts will state that you’re purchasing a temporary digital license for any game who’s publisher uses an EULA that states you don’t own the game. This is due to the recently signed California law that forces storefronts to be transparent about the publishers EULA.

Seriously? I moved to lemm.ee because it has a fair, democratic approach to federation, and doesn’t defederate at the drop of a hat.

I’d personally rather be able to see more perspectives and block the crazy at my own discretion.

This is in response to the new California law that forces stores to clearly disclose that the customer is buying a temporary license.

I doubt he really cared about the gas or EV debate, it was just an issue he could use as leverage to get his former company another fat government contract.

Also please remember that anything good Dejoy does is just the minimum required to keep him off the Biden administration’s shit list so that he can keep securing contracts for XPO - the private shipping carrier he still has financial ties with.

No, he’s made forced concessions to the Biden administration, but it’s only to placate them enough to keep his position, and double dip with contracts for XPO (the business he used to own and still has financial ties with).

Lemmy.world becoming the default Lemmy instance, and it growing to outsize all other instances is a danger: it makes the Fediverse centralized, easy to take down and easy to take over.
