Wow. I remember playing old NFL video games and this being the Lions’ stadium. Weird to see it looking like this.

This is a Lemmy.world post, I don’t think they see this

Excellent! Avelon is quickly moving to the top of my stable of Lemmy apps. Thank you for the hard work

If they could read they’d be super shocked by who the Russians are conscripting.

Is there any information on how he plans to obtain biometric data? My assumption was that, with iPhones for example, all biometric data stays on device encrypted via the Secure Enclave. Is that even something X could access?

I still go back to Reddit for a few niche communities that haven’t migrated to the Fediverse. I will never go back to randomly perusing it though. Lemmy has filled that function for me.

The whole internet used to be like this and it was lovely.

Historically this is nothing new. Looking at SCOTUS alone, the Marshall court, the Taney court, and the Warren court are all examples of moments where the courts have moved jurisprudence in substantial ways based on ideology. You want justices that, for the most part, will exercise restraint and seek to interpret laws in good faith. I agree with that. But I think it’s important to know that courts have been ideological since the very beginning.

Yeah. I had to start pinching myself when I began to look at a $400 pen as a “bargain”. Still love my fountain pens, though.

Teacher here and my school is 1-to-1 with Chromebooks. I doubt there’d be any problems from trying to log in with the new school’s Google account on the old Chromebook. Being able to use it at home would most likely not be a problem.

Using it at school instead of the new school provided device would depend on the school’s policies. We allow it in most cases, but it might not hurt to check with your school’s media specialist.

One problem this would create, if your child were at my school, would be with testing software. All of our standardized tests are administered with software that is pushed onto the students’ devices by our IT, and can only be installed on the school’s own managed Chromebooks. So I would again double check with your media specialist, and perhaps be prepared to bring the new Chromebook on standardized testing days (hopefully there aren’t many).

Hope that helps!

This is all true. I think it’s also important to note that the court’s shift is a result of strong state-level organizing by the WI Democratic Party. Voter mood has shifted since the Tea Party years, yes, but our Democratic Party has also done really well in getting out the vote, particularly in college towns.

What’s happening in Wisconsin is my rejoinder to apathetic or nihilistic voters. Organizing matters and voting matters. There is a real difference between the two main parties and tangible benefits happen when you elect Democrats.

Credit unions are a much better option.
