Like it or not, but he didn’t cheat. He won by playing the economy card.

People have this false sense of immediacy that causes them to believe that the current president is responsible for the economy from beginning to end of term. What they don’t realize is that the wheels of bureaucracy turn slowly; the current president really only begins to affect change after the first year of the presidency. Biden had to recover from the massive sinkhole the pandemic caused, and succeeded. The main problem is that company executives kept their inflated prices, and weren’t forced to do otherwise.

People see this, and jump straight to the conclusion that Biden is responsible for the increase in price of their groceries.

Removing bloat doesn’t necessarily make things unstable. I remove all the games from my KDE Plasma installs. The primary mistake that can occur in removing non-essential programs is ignoring the list of programs that this is a dependency of or also removes.

Isn’t the whole point of “Discover Weekly” to discover new music? If you’re self-hosted, the only music you’d be accessing is stuff you’ve already liked enough to pay for, so you’re not discovering anything.

Anyone other than the Republican and Democratic nominees are not giving said nominees a “run for their money”, and should be treated exactly as what they are: a distraction.

It’s just a respring, which can actually be useful in certain situations.

Wouldn’t these subreddits just immediately pop up elsewhere. For example, if r/pics was paid, what’s to stop someone from creating r/picsfree?

Pretty much DOA due to bad software adaptation and a prohibitive price tag. The marketing department also missed the massive opportunity to market this as a DS emulator (likely due to concern over Nintendo lawsuits).

Not to mention that it’s a subscription rather than a single payment.

TUBES!

Not sure about how to automate it, but you could probably just flip the switch in the system tray. You could also tie it to a power profile.

I wasn’t really being serious with this reply. Your post seems to suggest you want to prevent wifi connection until a VPN connection is established. My suggestion was just to turn off wifi altogether due to some wordplay allowed from the title.

Turning off WiFi is technically a solution. You won’t connect to WiFi without using a VPN. 🙃

I’d say having these groups coordinate in a platform where government officials are able to gain easy access is better than banning them and forcing them to move to more secure methods of communication.

With that being said, I do think most social media (even Lemmy) could do a better job at vetting what content is recommended to or seen by users.

Mandatory disclaimer: I in no way support these groups or their beliefs.

They’re not becoming Apple 2.0, Apple is becoming Microsoft 2.0. If you look into the history of Microsoft and Windows, you’ll see that they’ve always been this way, but have received more pushback in the past. Microsoft is the OG tech giant empire.

I’m under the impression that you currently can’t install plasma 6 on Ubuntu, as the repos aren’t available yet. That would make option 2 the only possible option.

I don’t use Application Dashboard, but on Plasma Drawer if you right click these options, a context menu pops up and allows you to choose what options are presented.

It’s less that you can’t, more that it would be impractical to do it.

That’s not what I’m saying here. Voting with your wallet implies that you expect to see some change as a result of your decision, I’m saying that you should make your decision with the expectation that a trend towards negative quality will continue.

There are suitable alternatives to both subscription based services and filmed media. If you aren’t satisfied with something you’re paying for, it doesn’t make sense to keep on paying for that.

While Netflix raised their prices, they also have been delivering less high-quality and more low-quality content. The raised prices merely indicated to people that the services they’re paying for to get away from cable TV are becoming more and more like cable TV.

People who complain about a service instead of finding an alternative are the main problem here, as they’re doing nothing to change the situation they’re currently in.

Using a 5 year old dell xps 15

This happened like a month ago. I recall hearing this argument before.
