If Joe Biden were as ruthless about his immunity as Donald Trump is, the union might actually stand a chance.

It's more to carry the load of multiple computers, instead of one computer connecting at 400 Tb/s think of it as a few thousand computers running gigabit connections over one single line.
You could supply an entire office building with internet with a single line from the provider.

This could be America in 6 months if Trump wins, he literally has the power to disappear people if he wins.

V for Vendetta was very popular when it came out and I think most of us would recognize the mask.

It honestly feels like they're not giving us any other choice.

I get it, Biden is old and that's a problem, but why doesn't anyone seem to have a problem with the fact that Trump is almost the same age, has 34 felonies, raped at least 2 women, went to Epstein's Island 11 times, sexualized his own daughter, stole classified documents, aligned himself with Xi and Putin, and can't remember common names?

Is all of that really better than being 2½ years older than he is right now?

Then maybe it is time to stop being peaceful about it. It obviously doesn't work, so maybe they'll listen if we start breaking shit.

I've seen dozens of people, including myself, wondering why there's no one in the streets over this, it's a long weekend for a lot of people too.
Honestly, DC is a 10 hour drive for me. If I didn't think I'd be the lone idiot protesting I'd be on my way because I'm off until Monday.
But there's safety in numbers. One person in the street will get arrested and end up as a footnote in the local papers, a million people might make them notice.

I'm deeply concerned about that.
I'm more concerned that there's literally no one in the streets over it.

Good.
This is just the "I won't vote for Biden because Israel refuses to sign a ceasefire" bullshit all over again.
Notice how literally none of these people have any problem whatsoever with any of Trump's gaffes?
They have no problem whatsoever with Trump's policies. They have no problem whatsoever with project 2025. They have no problem at all that Donald Trump is 79 years old.
But they have a huge fucking problem with the fact that Joe Biden is two and a half years older than Donald Trump.
You would think if they actually gave a damn about the welfare of the country they would be concerned about Donald Trump in the least, yet crickets.

That's precisely what we should be doing

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

I'm sure NYT and CNN would have a laundry list of reasons of why it was bad for Biden.

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

While I wouldn't wish death on anyone

The world would be a genuinely better place if Trump fell over dead before the election, I want a better world, therefore I DO wish the worst stroke medically possible upon Donald Trump.

My OS is on a 512gb M.2 drive, but the main storage on my laptop was a 1TB HDD, it started making noise about 2 weeks ago so I backed everything up onto a 1TB SanDisk USB SSD. This afternoon it got very clicky when I booted it up after work and icons for a few games I had stored on it, like KSP and YUZU, disappeared from the desktop and taskbar.

If we're supposed to be able to understand math as easily as a language, we should be able to read it from left to right like a language.
Yes, I know there's lots other languages that go right to left or top to bottom, but the point is you don't have to go jumping around the page or sentence figuring out which word should be read first based on which characters it contains.
We put the first word first, then the second word second, etc.
Why can't we just write equations in the order they were meant to be solved?

mod tools? (lemmy.world)

I moderate a very small community but I'd like to be able to pin posts and have access to other general moderator tools like removing posts/comments and locking threads.
It doesn't seem that I can do any of that with Connect and it's cumbersome at best to try to do it on a mobile browser.
Are there any plans to implement mod tools? Or is there a setting I missed somewhere that enabls them?

I've been seeding the torrents that I download since the old days of Limewire, but I've always download and re-shared by seeding.
But a few months ago I couldn't find a set of audiobooks I'd been looking for with the original narrators from the 90s.
I finally found a set on CD on eBay and coverted those to mp3 and loaded them on my phone, but it occurred to me that others might also be looking for a complete version of the series too and wanted to share that media.
Apologies if it's an obvious answer that I somehow missed.

So, I'm new to the whole moderating thing and I'm looking for feedback from the community. What can we do to increase community engagement?
Would you guys like to see weekly discussion threads?
Book 5 speculation?
Writing prompts based in universe?
As the mod, what can I do for you to make this community better?
