I suspect we’re generally in agreement about all this, but … Trump was, in fact, also indicted in federal court (in DC) over his role in the insurrection. And his recent conviction in NY was related to his campaign finance violations (the payments to Michale Cohen for Stormy Daniels were to benefit his campaign but not reported to the FEC as such, making the alteration of business records the cover-up of a crime).

We did, but OPs mom moved away.

I use MKVtoolnix for reboxing files (naturally it outputs MKV). I would assume ffmpeg can do the slicing that you want but it’s just a library with a CLI. So if you search for ffmpeg GUIs you can probably find one to your liking.

The president does not have authority to just add more judges. The size of the court is set by federal law and requires an act of Congress to change it.

I hear you, but these are the judges he’ll be appealing to

I started my beehaw and ml accounts on June 2. This one and Lemmy.one are coming up on June 11. And my sdf.org account was on June 30. But this is the one that stuck 😁.

I don’t think a Republican governor helping Obama’s reelection campaign in 2012 would have been quietly accepted.

Third parties in the US will never be a reality without election reform. That in turn will have to be preceded by high voter turnout to push state legislatures more progressive.

We use “my side” and “your side” so it’s always correct from any perspective.

And what’s different from the current profile manager.

From a usability standpoint, what current profile manager? Having to web search to find out how to open it puts it beyond the reach of most users.

wait, really? For me on Windows 11 the launcher right-click literally just has one entry: Firefox. Nothing for recent/frequent/open tabs. Nothing for opening a new tab or window. Nothing for Private. Just that one entry that does the same thing as just clicking the launcher. There’s a separate start menu item for private browser window, I could pin that on the taskbar next to the regular launcher.

Well color me jelly. That’s like actually usable and shit.

Is finally doing what we should have done a long time ago better that not doing it? Absolutely

So … it quite literally is progress. Not enough progress, but progress none-the-less.

I know, dude. I agree with you that it’s not enough, and the media needs to do better. I’m just saying let’s give him due credit for what he has done, because the opposition will almost certainly regress if given the chance.

Based on other comments the operative comparison is the previous worst case took 55 years to build up the level of CO2 that now only takes 5 years.

There were two viral outbreaks during Biden’s term as VP: H1N1 in 2009 and Ebola in 2014. At no point does the article quote Biden as mentioning COVID. The article doesn’t even attribute what event they’re quoting from.
