Curious when/if he’ll actually ever do sportcar racing and not just play video games.

What are some reasons as to why I would want to use this over, say, OSMAnd?

Osmand isn’t fully free software. Some parts are under CC Non-Commercial license that forbids derivatives to make life harder for potential forks: github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/blob/master/LICENSE#L… That’s both against the Open Source Definition and Free Software.

He can rest easy: I don’t know who that is and how he looks.

I can’t help but feel sorry for these guys, some of whom must surely just have been forcefully conscripted into this.

Once they get a gun, they decide where to point it!

Don’t forget the humans, I guess.

Don’t forget who the fascist, murderous aggressors are!

Flächennutzung in Deutschland (discuss.tchncs.de) German

Die Karte fand ich echt interessant, gerade in Bezug auf die aktuellen Diskussionen um PV auf Äckern oder Windkraft. Schön sieht man, wie viel mehr Platz Energiepflanzen brauchen und dass Golfplätze oder Weihnachtsbaumanbau mehr Fläche verbrauchen als PV fand ich auch interessant....

Apple limits third-party browser engine work to EU devices (www.theregister.com)

The Register has learned from those involved in the browser trade that Apple has limited the development and testing of third-party browser engines to devices physically located in the EU. That requirement adds an additional barrier to anyone planning to develop and support a browser with an alternative engine in the EU....

That’s one way to stop outsourcing to India and create EU jobs.

Evey modern car can and does. Lawmakers currently sit on their hands regarding that.

The host OS needs to do very little to maintain Steam compatibility. Most is done by Steam itself.

If something breaks, people will blame Tesla first

Like when Tesla remove a feature they sold their cars with?

States can establish religions. Federal government can’t.

Edit: Forgot that federal government can indoctrinate religion just fine: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_God_We_Trust

State law can’t supersede federal law.

And Congress cannot pass laws on that. Constitution says so.

Mandatory “one nation under god” pledge in school classes disagrees that religion cannot be established.

woelkchen,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

That is an extremely narrow view of the First Amendment that goes against over two centuries of judicial precedent.

Mandatory “one nation under god” pledge in school classes proves that establishing religion in the US is fine.

woelkchen,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

Those are literally not mandatory.

Except when they are: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pledge_of_Allegiance#Legal_…

  • “the Pledge of Allegiance does not violate the rights of those who don’t believe in God and does not have to be removed from the patriotic message”
  • “As a matter of historical tradition, the words ‘under God’ can no more be expunged from the national consciousness than the words ‘In God We Trust’ from every coin in the land, than the words ‘so help me God’ from every presidential oath since 1789, or than the prayer that has opened every congressional session of legislative business since 1787.”

I’m not sure what you think those quotes prove.

That it’s perfectly fine to for the government to promote Christian religion, i.e. what the submitted story is about.

woelkchen,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

There are so many cases of promoting Christianity by the US government, a few cherrypicked cases of “trouble” doesn’t disprove any of this.

  • “As a matter of historical tradition, the words ‘under God’ can no more be expunged from the national consciousness than the words ‘In God We Trust’ from every coin in the land, than the words ‘so help me God’ from every presidential oath since 1789, or than the prayer that has opened every congressional session of legislative business since 1787.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pledge_of_Allegiance#Legal_…

Also, the US print religious indoctrination on their currency: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_God_We_Trust

woelkchen,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

That would also be false: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceremonial_deism

Nah, that’s a bullshit excuse for religious indoctrination.

Now, will you admit you were incorrect about the pledge of allegiance being mandatory in schools?

No. If the pledge must be taught in school and some individual students can opt out of repeating that indoctrination, doesn’t mean that the pledge itself is not mandatory subject in school. I did not write that all students must recite it.

All your “ceremonial deism” reference proves is that there is a giant loophole for the federal government to indoctrinate on religion and not just state and lower levels.

woelkchen,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

I’m just going to stop talking to you.

Good, then I won’t have to deal with notifications that some forms of religious indoctrination are just secular ceremony.

The Newscast is not the images. It’s an annoying video they embed in all articles and then floats when you scroll. I actually have set an adblock rule to block that shit.

As for the images, for now hotlinking to Twitter images is possible, so:
