I mean, they don’t have to release the source code. A compiled version would be fine.

it’s unrealistic to assume it would exist forever.

Older multiplayer games would let you self-host the server, long before the current trend.

Ubisoft doesn’t have to continue to host servers. They just have to release the server code. Zero cost to them.

As someone living in Pittsburgh, I hate this.

Traffic is going to be a mess on Monday.

Both Kamala and Trump have rallies on the same day…

Big +1 for Sync.

I was paying for Sync back when it was a Reddit client, and I moved to Lemmy mostly because that is where Sync moved.

It’s an awesome app. Best app purchase I’ve ever made. (There is a free version too.)

“Getting fired felt like a possibility but never a reality,”

They took over an executive’s office and a cafeteria. Not knowing that you’d be fired as a result is a severe lack of judgement.

Protests are important. But you have to understand that there will be consequences for your actions. Embrace that going in.

Saying that you didn’t think they’d actually fire you comes off as childish.

That’s exactly what I’m hinting at.

My hypothesis is that this is, in fact, the case.

Maybe the reps aren’t thinking this deliberately, but I suppose some in R strategy has realized this. They can tell the reps something simple like “FEMA response is likely to be bad for us in the election,” and the reps can be willfully ignorant, refusing to consider the consequences of their inaction.

Low voter turnout benefits Republicans.

It’s easier to prevent people from voting against you than it is to convert people to vote for you.

The game plan is to ensure chaos continues for the next few weeks until the election, in the hopes that people will be too busy trying to survive than to vote.

I wouldn’t be so sure about how “solid” the R position is in Western NC.

I know plenty of people in the Franklin/Highlands area who are voting D despite traditionally voting R.

The area still leans red overall, but it is much more purple today than it has been historically. Plenty of people are sick of Trump.

Republicans benefit from low turnout in a political climate like that.

The hurricane has wrecked lots of the south. Especially North Carolina.

It would be really convenient for the Republicans if that caused low voter turnout next month.

North Carolina is a battleground state this year.

Edit: Also, Asheville is one of the most Democrat areas of the state, and was also hit the hardest. It is pretty clear that he wants people to live hard or die to improve the Republican chances in November.

Doctors with one border

Sure. But this is not that.

I’m not sure there is anything illegal about making up these stories.

Edit: All these down votes are just wishful thinking. JD Vance is a piece of shit, but he hasn’t done anything illegal. (That’s not to say he hasn’t done anything wrong, because he totally has.)

There’s JD Vance.

There’s Ron DeSantis.

There’s Jim Jordan.

There’s Matt Gaetz.

There are plenty of MAGA republicans in Congress who would step up. To say otherwise is to be living under a rock. Trump is far from the only prominent fascist ass hole in US politics.

Assassination would be good for MAGA. They’d worship him as a martyr.

I’d like Trump to die ASAP. From natural causes, like a heart attack from eating too much McD’s.

Trump: incoherent rambling about immigrants stealing then eating pets and Democrat governors aborting newborns

Kamala: “He lost the election, and he’s clearly having a hard time processing that.”

I saw it at the MoMA in NYC. The thing is tiny…

Maybe.

Linux won because it worked. Hurd was stuck in research and development hell. They never were able to catch up.

However, Linus’s kernel was more elaborate than GNU Hurd, so it was incorporated.

Quite the opposite.

GNU Hurd was a microkernel, using lots of cutting edge research, and necessitating a lot of additional complexity in userspace. This complexity also made it very difficult to get good performance.

Linux, on the other hand, was just a bog standard Unix monolithic kernel. Once they got a libc working on it, most existing Unix userspace, including the GNU userspace, was easy to port.

Linux won because it was simple, not elaborate.
