My city's most recent mayoral election is arguably a better argument for FPTP sucking than US presidential elections. The progressives were split between two candidates so we got the moderate, who's pro-car in a city where people move for walkability and is painfully clearly trying to get an inroads to national politics.

It's better than the nearby, bigger city though. SHEESH.

NYC, San Francisco, and Santa Monica did it. A lawsuit Airbnb put forth to to block it in NYC got dismissed even.

We do but it's about more plants and animals than humans.

My school had decent sex ed though (New Jersey)

I'm agitated that people got the impression "AI" referred specifically to human-level intelligence.

Like, before the LLM boom it was uncontroversial to refer to the bots in video games as "AI." Now it gets comments like this.

He'll be dead.

I really don't think the average Lemmy user has TikTok.

The auto strike has a 75% approval rating. That's way bigger than most things in US politics. Not supporting the auto strike is a losing issue.

I mean, I use LibreOffice, but for people not that tech savvy it sucks they won't have a basic rich text tool included with Windows.

I get where this comes from (look up why USA and Canada celebrate Labor Day rather than International Worker's Day) but it's just symbolism, a frivolous issue. Pushing frivolous issues reinforces one of the negative perceptions of the American left common among both centrist Americans and international leftists. People want healthcare, vacation days, material improvements. Not a debate over when a national holiday is.

I mean, that is in fact not a US constitutional right

But proclaim the fucking emergency anyway!

My recollection was that the game was already down to just iOS or Android by the time this came out. Windows Phone still existed, but it was already being ignored by popular apps like Snapchat.

Plus the people who even knew about this (tech people) didn't like the "everything is a web app" idea when Chrome OS did it, much less a smartphone.

Do I need more context? This just sounds like a BDSM relationship to me.
