That would be a lot of political capital used for what? Why would Biden help Trump in any way?

I would think of it less as "what could Trump give Biden" and more of "what could the MAGAs in Congress give Biden." Chances are good that a second-term Biden will need to work with at least one Republican-controlled chamber in Congress, and something like this might be what allows him to do something as simple as pass a budget.

~~For better or~~ for worse, Trump is almost literally the second coming of Jesus to a large number of Republicans, and commuting his sentence might be something that provides Biden some leverage that could allow his presidency to function. Again, not saying that's anywhere near an ideal outcome (I'd much rather see Trump rot in prison), but it wasn't an outcome I'd previously considered and one I could see happening.

Chuck Todd mentioned on Meet the Press a few days ago that his pet theory is that Biden will commute Trump's [federal] sentence if Biden gets reelected (obviously, Trump pardons himself if Trump is elected). As much as I would hope that wouldn't be the case (honestly I've been convinced jail time is inevitable for Trump on these charges and this evidence), I think it's pretty plausible this winds up being the conclusion to this whole saga.

 
 

Note: Starting on Sunday, July 30th, I will transition to weekly discussion threads instead of daily game threads.

That looks solid! I opted for a ProClip mount in mine (which snaps in to one if the vents above the head unit) since it's not invasive, but I like the placement of yours way better

*sigh* Do I have to go abandon Fedora now too? I really hope they don't pull a CentOS on that one

Yeah I originally created an account at beehaw.org before coming over to lemmy.world. The main reason I moved was because I wasn't a fan of the fact I couldn't freely create new communities over there (and I don't think you can create communities on other instances?), but also just ~vibes~.

To be fair, this is actually kinda great to see - it's one of the strengths of this federated system. The folks that run these instances are being pretty generous already to just let us talk and share whatever the heck we want, and it's perfectly reasonable for a host to want to be selective about who they let use their resources.

You betcha! I'm really looking forward to this hopefully taking off one day!

A lot of sudreddits are vowing to go dark indefinitely in response to this it looks like. Many were already, but the official position on /r/ModCoord is an indefinite blackout for all but critically important subs.

I've also found this to be true with Julia devs

Yeah, I also made a Mastodon account during that big Twitter exodus a few months back, and admittedly haven't used it that much either for the same reasons. I just never really have that many unprompted/creative things to say, which is kinda the primary use case for the Twitter/Mastodon genre of social media.

Reddit/Lemmy on the other hand is way more about the discussion, which is both way more interesting to consume as media and also way easier for me to get involved in.

I've made [email protected] and [email protected] if either of those are vehicles you drive!
