iwidji , to nostupidquestions in ELI5 - So why exactly doesnt Biden expand the courts?
@iwidji@lemmy.world avatar

I think in addition to the other points on this page, the thing that keeps coming to me is because I think deep down inside, Biden knows where the fault is.

The Supreme Court’s primary role is to decipher existing laws, existing precedent, and figure out how it should be interpreted in a different era. Yes, I know due to how politicalized everything is, sometimes questionable outcomes come from the Supreme Court. But at the core, their job is to interpret existing law and precedent.

Congress’ role is to actually pass new laws for a new era. It can be argued, they’ve done a terrible job at that because they’re busy trying to appease their base. Because they’re so divided, very little acts, with any substance, are being passed at the federal level.

Expanding the court might result in the outcome you want today, it may not result in the outcome you want tomorrow.

But expanding the court also continues to give Congress a way out of making tricky compromises and laws, so they can continue fundraising on outrage, and yet do very little about things by blaming the other side.

This is the sort of thoughtful comment that is making Lemmy so valuable. Thank you.

It sucks to type that because I’m all for helping young adults get higher education. But I do agree with the court, it can’t be at the expense of executive orders because then we’ll be on a crazy hamster wheel with every president. Congress needs to do their dang job and create a college bill that everyone dislikes and likes.

This didn’t work for me. I had to find a forked version that supported lemmy.world’s “outdated server”.

Cool now it just crashes immediately after launch.

Had these things for years now, love them

ATH-M50x with a Scarlett 2i2. Works like charm.

NeroAngra , to linux_gaming in What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux?

Steel Series Wireless Pros. There's an external DAC via USB and then a 2.4ghz wireless connection to the headset. The DAC also charges the spare battery that comes with the headset so I never have to worry about charging the thing.

The mic is okay. Good enough for work and discord. The sound is great.

Plug and play compatibility with Linux. I haven't tried the Steel Series app yet but I barely used it on Windows anyways.

@felixculpa@lemmy.world avatar

definitely not, the way it fits to harmony of the phone is awesome

@baronvonj@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah it just crashes on startup for me so I switched to LiftOff. Don't think I'll go back even after lemmy.world goes to v0.18.

Relaxxx , to android in What's your lemmy app of choice?

So far I’ve tried Jerboa, liftoff and wefwef. Being a RIF user for many years I feel Jerboa is closest to the UX but I am more comfortable with wefwef. Ask me again tomorrow as I will probably try other alternatives. This is like the good ole Linux distro hopping days when I tried over 30 distros before settling with KDE neon for the last 3 years.

I use a Plantronics headset. Sound quality is important to me, so I decided to try hardware from a company that specializes in voice comms. I found one on sale for a little more than the cost of two movie tickets.

I’m happy with my choice. My headset is smaller and lighter than any “gaming” headset I’ve ever seen, and strangers regularly compliment my mic clarity when I play team shooters online.

In case you want to try something similar, Jabra is another brand in that space.

I did the same a few months ago and was extremely nervous. I have a 4 node cluster running 30 VMs in production. After migrating the VMS off of one node I quickly realized what a pleasure it was to do it. No muss no fuss. Migrated the VMs back and continued on with the other 3.

That’s pretty cool that it worked so well. Does migrating the VM’s result in any downtime or is it a seamless cross over?

I waited a few days before upgrading as I wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to get stung by any teething troubles. Would have ideally waited longer but had an ideal few hours available to do it without the family being annoyed by any downtime.

imagine creating a button that makes you win, but makes the process far more complicated.

now imagine, once you’re out of power the other guy can also push the button.

once pressed, neither side will ever stop pushing the button when in power.

Yep. If the goal is to de-politicize the courts, court packing makes it exponentially worse.

I mean, the GOP will start stacking once they lose the Supreme Court and win the presidency. It’s not if, but when.
