letters aren’t going to do anything, neither will striking.

The current System does not legally give many ways to impeach an elected official.

It is impossible to legally remove a president from power outside of election season without the legislative branch.

Furthermore, there is no federal level system in place to allow for a recall of anyone in the legislative branch, some states have successfully implemented state level recall laws to revoke their elected officials but this is not a universal thing). Disciplinary functions in the legislative branch is predominantly decided by the branches themselves, which works fine if you have a functional branch, but if you have a branch that really doesn’t care then no punishments get done

The most the everyday citizen can really do is:

1. if you are in a state that has an elected official that is being toxic/against what your state actually wants, try to encourage a state recall petition (if you are in one of the 36(12 of which need specific actions to occur to trigger it) states that allow for it AND something has occurred that was ground for your states requirements for it)
2. try to add such a system to your state if one does not exist (which would likely have to be on the ballot as well so would take awhile)
3. or further educate yourself on what is going to be available on the 2026 midterms and vote accordingly.

I don’t think there is much else anyone can immediately do that might actually get anything done.

Nothing really complex behind it. If I have something to add, I do.

But you have heard of me~

Just chiming in, this is not recommended for proxmox

The documentation (FAQ 13) actually directly says that docker should be installed as a QEMU VM on proxmox and that it should not be installed on the Proxmox VE Host

the amount of software I’ve used that lacks this type of system is aggravating. How hard is it to keep an object of property names, and if the name isn’t in it then it errors.

this can be continued into command line as well. if flag -z doesn’t exist, you shouldn’t allow me to run a command with it. It’s clear I am trying to do something (incorrectly) thinking -z is something it isn’t, just error it and tell me that.

Because it’s universal, it works, it’s multi-platform, device agnostic and it’s simple to use user side.

Nothing else available really fits that criteria.

The closest in todays age is probally discord or teams, but neither of which are decentralized. XMPP could work for it, but nobody really uses it anymore and to be honest the standard is ugly as hell to implement.

Browser Notifications are ineffective and have a high probability of failing or not being seen, they are more meant for real-time notices not historical notices not to mention locked to that browser.

App notifications would be amazing for things with apps, but not everyone wants to be forced into using their mobile device for everything, and it would again only be available from said app(unless you do use something like NTFY), which would generally be locked down to a device

Email sucks admin side, but there’s a reason its used.

This is also ignoring the multi-use case that email allows for such as authentication as well, so if its already being stored for accounts, might as well use it for notifications

hard agree, I hate browser notifications with a hard passion, I would never see them if they swapped to that.

huh, I learned a few new words today

Honestly? With how much money the rich has, a major prerequisite for me would be a massive wealth tax on their current fund.

With how much money most of the companies that are problem children today have, a general strike isn’t effective.

Take amazon for example, it has a yearly operating expense of 569B, and has a current operating debt of 52B (or a total of 338B in liabilities)

It keeps around 101B cash on hand in immediate withdrawable assets, and has a total of 624B in total assets.

Assuming the total yearly expenses can be easily dividable by 12(it likely couldn’t) and without knowing how much money they end up saving in salary due to the strike, In order for a strike to really hurt Amazon, you would need to strike for almost 3 months before you even start eating into it’s non-immediate withdrawal assets.

How many people do you know that has 3 months worth of salary stored up for a thing like this? I don’t know many.

A union /might/ have solved that situation but, that money doesn’t just appear out of thin air, its collected via dues, the same dues that the everyday person fights against, and if you don’t /currently/ have a union, you won’t have the funds built up.

Our local teachers union has that issue currently. They ruled that the union MUST accept people into it without paying the union fees, which more or less made it so the teachers union is all bark no bite as it couldn’t afford a general strike as a result of it, because they would need to pay everyone, including the people who aren’t actively contributing back.

my only complaint about it is the lack of clear “hey this is going to be a major update” on the webUI. I did the update command and was met with a different UI. Which wasn’t difficult to figure out, and I have to blame myself for not actually checking the patch notes first, but I wasn’t expecting a major update from the webUI as it only said “new version available run this command to upgrade”

the upgrade as a whole is all and all a great improvement

the article states that when a company is sold, they need to renegotiate a new contract. So it looks like it does automatically terminate on sale, and it would be up to them to make a new contract.

I assume the person meant that they could make a new contract with the new names if they wanted to.

Jokes aside, this is an amazing book series, I loved it

Yeah it seems I misunderstood what those tablets were,

I did find the old Samsung Tab tablets that would do pretty decent job though, those are somewhat around the same price range too, like 70-140ish range preowned

And looking into the kobo clara series it does look like those are about 120-130 second hand currently so not as bad

unfortunately though, due to the same issues there isn’t a very large second hand market of those either. Like the cheapest remarkable second hand I could find was still 300$ and the cheapest pine note was 270$ for preowns.

when you compare it to the kindle which has preowns starting at 40$ it’s a hard buy

Me logging onto Skype after so many years

that could be true, if I didn’t double check the sources. If that is how you would be doing it then sure, but I use it as a guideline not a rule, and check for facts after.

There’s nothing wrong with using something as a blueprint/template. Seeing a strong lean in credibility or positioning tells me that I should be more serious on fact checking on it as there will be bias.

I’ve recently setup an recipe archival project using tandoor, I’m working on converting all my grandparents fading old as dust cooking recipes from their misc handwritten cursive notecards to digital.

Setup was uneventful but it took a little research to figure out how to use a remote postgres server, turns out the app doesn’t give an error when it can’t connect to the server, it just fails to run

Have to say the actual program itself is absolutely absurd and how they choose their permissions, it breaks all conventional and took quite a bit to get used to.

oh no whatever will they do, only having 990m revenue instead of 1.4b revenue.

Granted yeah that’s fair, a 31% revenue loss is a drastic change. Too bad they’ll never understand why and blame others. I’m sure they still were net positive in income though

you likely won’t find an unbiased opinion regarding that here. Members tend not do their own research and only live to complain about the existence of it.

I share the same opinion as yours, I would rather have a sometimes inaccurate listing than no listing at all. The complaints people have about it are what I enjoy using it for, it lets me know to look for certain things on the article before I enter so I know if I should take it with a grain of salt or not.
