I mean, he’s from Florida, basically a different planet already.

Benchamoneh , in California governor signs law barring schoolbook bans based on racial, gender teachings

Ban the ban!

drkt , in Epic Games is laying off about 830 employees, divesting Bandcamp

Bought bandcamp just to shelf it? Thanks.

echo64 ,

that’s not what the word means, they are selling it to Songtradr.

CluckN ,

Good thing they removed the e from trader, they must save so much money on branding.

Guess it help with SEO

drkt ,

I know they’re not literally throwing it out, if that’s what you thought I meant. I know they’re selling it to someone else, but how often does this result in a good outcome? I’m predicting this is the start of the end of bandcamp. It wasn’t even good to begin with, but it was the only unified place to buy music.

slurpeesoforion ,

I found this article which states

The company is also selling Bandcamp to a music licensing company called Songtradr…

I didn’t know about their ownership in the first place.

RonnieNeeley , (edited )

Yep, that sale was relatively new. Like, in the last year and a half.

EmpathicVagrant ,

Did that with Infinity Blade (Chair) as well because it was ‘competing for users’ apparently.

Sir_Kevin , in New study definitively confirms gulf stream weakening
@Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

At least it hasn’t slowed down a crazy amount. 4% in 40 years seems like the least of our problems right now.

SkyeStarfall ,

While true, we don’t know how it’s gonna progress in the future. It takes time for changes to really set in, and as time goes on the differences are larger as we emit a lot more pollution now than we did 40 years ago.

It could be that there’s an inherent 30+ years lag, and we’re seeing just the start of changes. Either way, the fact that it is definitively getting weaker is worrying.

Sir_Kevin ,
@Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Fair points. Like this could be the first crack in the glass before the whole thing shatters to pieces.

dangblingus ,

Waiting until it’s slowed 100% isn’t helpful. At that point, you’re way beyond the point of no return for cascading climate collapses.

4% is concerning because this sort of thing shouldn’t happen period, let alone over a relatively short period of 40 years. Think of it as an early warning. Except, it’s probably still too late to address the problem.

With all of the carbon emissions put into the atmosphere since the dawn of fossil fuels, we’re literally seeing the effects of carbon from like 50-70 years ago. What will the gulf stream do in another 50-70 years once today’s carbon emissions start affecting climate?

Sir_Kevin ,
@Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m just saying that the ice caps are melting like 10% every 2 years, carbon and methane emissions are through the roof, sea life and birds are going extinct, the oceans are hitting triple digit temperatures, half of north america is on fire, people are dying of heat stroke, and on and on. Yes this sucks too but damn, look around.

throws_lemy OP ,
@throws_lemy@lemmy.nz avatar

4% in 40 Years is just a rookie number, the last ice age ended about 11,000 years ago. We don’t even know when the Gulf Stream weakening starts to occur.

Tygr , in California Gov. Gavin Newsom signs law to raise minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 per hour

No federal limit to executive pay and incentives then? Problem not solved but I’m happy some effort was made at the state level

silverbax , in Bandcamp has been sold to SongTRDR

I didn’t even realize they owned BandCamp. I wonder what the profit margins are for the app as it is now.

UnD3Rgr0uNDCL0wN OP ,

IIRC Bandcamp was one of the few music sites to pay out to artists. Never used their app beyond the original pre-Epic one, and that was shit tbh.

Im14abeer , in California Gov. Gavin Newsom signs law to protect doctors who mail abortion pills to other states

I’m sure he’ll be removing the prohibition on mailing mushroom spores into the state as to not be hypocritical right?

bradorsomething ,

We get it, you do drugs.

lolcatnip ,

We get it, you care more about another user’s personal habits than a state government’s policies, because drugs are bad, mmkay?

Im14abeer ,

I specifically choose spores because California treats them differently than most of the rest of the country and there is nothing illegal about them until and unless they are grown out. I was pointing out the apparent lack of congruence between the stand Newsom is taking here and how California state law treats a similar situation differently when the roles are reversed.

SmoothLiquidation ,

I’m sure you could give yourself an abortion by taking too many shrooms but there are much easier ways.

jaybone ,

Can shrooms do that?

BraveSirZaphod ,
@BraveSirZaphod@kbin.social avatar

If you believe hard enough, shrooms can do anything.

dragonflyteaparty ,

Good whataboutism there.

BigNote ,

But that’s a Federal violation, so not the same thing at all.

Im14abeer ,

It’s not a violation of anything except California, Idaho and Georgia penal law.

@AWildMimicAppears@kbin.social avatar

Once again profit was more important than the health and safety of common people. And i am quite sure that none of the responsible parties will see jail time over this, because they never do.

WHYAREWEALLCAPS ,

I will scream it till the day I die, profit motive and healthcare do not belong together. At all. In any way, shape, or form.

The law isn’t quite so sloppy as that:

The governing board of a school district, a county board of education, or the governing body of a charter school shall not refuse to approve the use or prohibit the use of any textbook, instructional material, supplemental instructional material, or other curriculum for classroom instruction or any book or other resource in a school library on the basis that it includes a study of the role and contributions of any individual or group consistent with the requirements of Sections 51204.5 and 60040 [requiring the accurate portrayal of LGBT people and racial minorities], unless the study of the role and contributions violates Section 51501 or 60044 [prohibitions on materials that “reflect adversely upon persons because of their race, sex, color, creed, handicap, national origin, or ancestry”].

DR_Hero , in Philips Kept Complaints About Dangerous Breathing Machines Secret While Company Profits Soared

The worst part is that it took them years after it came out to be a known risk before they actually sent me a replacement machine.

Having to choose between the risk of heart failure and the risk of cancer sure was fun…

WHYAREWEALLCAPS ,

Instead of making you wait, they should have been forced to shell out to get you a new machine from another company. Well, Resmed. All of us who use CPAPs know that Phillips and Resmed machines are far and away better than any other machine out there. Which sucks for us users.

Imagine being dumb enough to threaten a US General, lol

nova_ad_vitum ,

It only takes one guy to be that dumb. Imagine how dumb you have to be to vote for a guy who threatens a general - there are tens of millions of such people.

_haha_oh_wow_ ,
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

It’s almost like gutting the educational system in multiple states undermines a functioning republic and makes people more gullible… Nah, that’s crazy talk!

The Trump supporting “respect our veterans” group must be doing mental backflips right now.

Trump has been openly hostile to veterans on numerous occasions, that group is constantly doing mental gymnastics.

Kandorr , in Florida school district orders librarians to purge all books with LGBTQ characters

Is the goal to create places so inhospitable to open minds, that those who possess a shred of empathy flee, creating a conservative gravity well of votes? Is that even sustainable

FlyingSquid ,

The goal is to create little Republicans.

They haven’t finished fucking with the educational system yet.

bibliotectress ,

I work at a high school (in a library, actually) in California, and we’ve had student walkouts for much less. Are the angry students doing any major protesting that you’ve seen? Or are the schools cracking down so hard already and they don’t want to risk it, or a high enough percentage of kids are assholes so they mock kids who care and it keeps those kids from protesting? I’m sure there’s a lot happening that we don’t hear about, so I’m curious what it’s like for Gen Z who overall doesn’t seem to stand for bigotry in general.

NegativeInf ,

I don’t know whether to be appalled or hope that the gravity well becomes large enough it generates an event horizon that no stupidity could cross out of.

lettruthout ,

'Wish I could upvote a second time for great use of the term “event horizon”!

That’s half the goal.

The other half is to make areas so hostile that the people who can’t flee just keep their heads down and stay closeted so no one hurts them.

And to increase suicides

TurboDiesel , in Houston approves $5M to relocate residents living near polluted Union Pacific rail yard

It’s great this is happening, but in a just world Union Pacific would be forking over $5MM, not everyone else.
