“President Joe Biden elevated Amazon critic and anti-monopoly advocate Lina Khan to chair the Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday, hours after the Senate confirmed her by a 69-28 vote.

She was sworn in just as quickly, the FTC said that evening.”

Huge win for progressives as Lina Khan takes helm at FTC

Imagine you’re on a train of trolleys, and every time it comes to a point where a direction could be chosen, every car votes and consistently the ones at the back are out voted by the other cars. You can’t get off and buy another ticket. But you might be able to detach the cars.

So, you’re describing the 47% who do not want to partition?

Nope. As a Linux user, even I’m annoyed.

I’ve seen people ask legitimate Windows troubleshooting questions and then don’t get an answer but dozens, if not more, messages to switch to linux.

It drives people away.

Nope. Your opinion is not my identity.

Can you live without YouTube ?

Today in a Privacy community a post about YouTube. No word about privacy but all about which software or settings are needed to watch videos and the money needed to host videos. It made me wonder whether some of you can lead a meaningful life without YouTube. Or will a cold turkey bring the worst out of you ?

Absolutely. Almost never use it anyway.

Louisiana lawmakers vote to remove lunch breaks for child workers, cut unemployment benefits (www.nola.com)

A Louisiana House committee voted Thursday to repeal a law requiring employers to give child workers lunch breaks and to cut unemployment benefits — part of a push by Republicans to remove constraints on employers and reduce aid for injured and unemployed workers....

JUST TODAY I was going to buy WinRar. I've used the software forever, for free, and I just thought... I appreciate this, they've never given me grief, and I'm going to pay them.

And I went on their page to subscribe for a lifetime membership, and they wanted 20 bucks, which I was okay with, but it does not include Major Updates! I guess I’ll buy it and just click the do not check for updates button but that seemed kind of, I don’t know....

What sort of person would be able to help me?

You.

Goals.

A car is not useful without a direction. A life is more useful with goals.

Where do you want to be in 10 years? If you don’t know, pick something. As you gain direction toward your goal, you can refine the goal. Or, since you have momentum, switch direction even.

Break down your 10-year goal. Smaller and smaller goals, 5 year, 2 year, this year, next month.

How can you help yourself? Find someone who can coach you with setting goals. A little easier than finding someone who can help you with your “life”.

It’s not even “artificial intelligence”.

Seriously, “artificial intelligence” suggests, (defines?) self aware.

I’m seeing some balance at lemmy.ca.

Then again, at times I can be pretty clueless. I’m just happy here.

So the, you must discount scalloped potatoes with cheese.

Me thinks you’d get disagreement on that.

What is a gender neutral replacement for man, guys, buddy, etc?

So I’ve realized that in conversations I’ll use traditional terms for men as general terms for all genders, both singularly and for groups. I always mean it well, but I’ve been thinking that it’s not as inclusive to women/trans people....

'round here “guys” has become gender neutral. But “folks” is my go-to.

Haha love it.

My 8 yr old grand daughter calls everyone “bro”. Including her mom!

+1 on this one

Edit: you being downvoted tells me there’s a group of people who haven’t seen adult children revert to child when visiting their childhood home…

uhmbah OP ,

Well, that settles it then, I’ll retire my wife’s m6800 to me and get her a newer refurbished!

Ya but, you can’t steal cars with this unit.

If our politicians are not the laughing stock, they should be.

For crying out loud, throw water at it.

Unity bans VLC from Unity Store. (mfkl.github.io)

Everyone can agree on VLC being the best video player, right? Game developers can agree on it too, since it is a great utility for playing multimedia in games, and/or have a video player included. However, disaster struck; Unity has now banned VLC from the Unity Store, seemingly due to it being under the LGPL license which is a...

Front VLC blog, link in post above

“After months of slow back-and-forth over email trying to find a compromise, including offering to exclude LGPL code from the assets, Unity basically told us we were not welcome back to their Store, ever. Even if we were to remove all LGPL code from the Unity package.

Where it gets fun is that there are currently hundreds if not thousands of Unity assets that include LGPL dependencies (such as FFmpeg) in the Store right now. Enforcement is seemingly totally random, unless you get reported by someone, apparently.”
