Fucking Kris Kobach, the attorney general in KS.

He has a program that checks if you haven’t voted in awhile, if your address doesn’t match, if you were registered somewhere else and didn’t tell them you moved (does anyone do this?).

And if you have a common name, you’re probably going to get removed from the registers every single time since it’s a very flawed system.

Many conservative states joined his program.

Because of monopolies and corporations, farmers are being pushed out, the only way for some farmers to afford to do it is to use licensing agreements like his.

They license the rights and get a payment up front or a monthly payment to help them with huge initial costs.

He sublicensed the right to sell the fruit back in 2017 but, then signed a marketing agreement with the Fruit company said only they can market and sell it.

His agreements seem to contradict each other.

Lots of people don’t read what they sign. But it’s also shitty of the company to trick him like that.

Read everything you sign. If you don’t understand, get a lawyer to read it.

By this logic, we should stop arresting people for attempted murder because it didn’t work anyway.

I sent a request to AFL CIO to get info on starting a union and they didn’t respond. I filled out the form on their site and heard nothing back.

It’s a fantastic job for a teenager. I had a great experience before joining management.

If killing horses isn’t your thing, what about the fact that they spend $3000 capturing the horses and sell them for $25?

The number isn’t the point of the article tho. Neither is the money loss.

It’s the fact that killing wild horses is illegal. They tried to buy a gas chamber and realized they couldn’t so they started selling them to a middleman first who man who sends them off to slaughter.

This way they can kill horses but claim they didn’t.

Here’s a “fun” semi-not relevant fact. Movie theaters were excluded from playing OT in the Fair Labor Act in the US.

They were able to lobby congress when it was drafted and said they couldn’t afford it. Most people who work there are part time and it’s fine, but assistant managers and other full-time non-salaried positions get screwed.

Source: I was an assistant manager at Regal Theaters in the mid-late 2000s. I did not get OT. I made something like $6/hr.

Wait until you find out between the discrepancy between House districts across states. Theres a special formula used to calculate the number of districts each state gets but it’s kinda BS and still ends up with unfair distribution.

It’s all because it was capped in the early 20th century instead of just being properly rebalanced.

WI has 1 house rep for every 575k people and CA gets 1 for every 750k people. If it was distributed evening based on the state with the lowest population, CA would get something like an extra 15 votes.

*Note - My numbers could be off a bit. I actually did the math myself several months ago. I didn’t look it up to write this, I just am remembering off the top of my head

I mean….he did get us his start by rating his classmates on hotness and stealing the idea for Facebook.

I’m a Fedora user myself. It’s pretty well built but I’ve had a lot of issues especially with the Wayland stuff. That’s getting better for sure but Ubuntu has the type of tech support that older people are used to.

It’s probably still the most popular distro, still today, which means there are going to be more resources for them.

If my mom has to open the terminal, she’s going to give up and go back to windows.

With the amount of money that Elon Musk is worth, you could buy every NBA, NFL, MLS, NHL, MLB team in the US with enough leftover to also buy the top 20 European soccer teams.

This shit is bananas because I never hear the left say anything anti-Semitic.

But, i just saw a Trump supporter who was mad about Flock blame Jews for Flock.

Soooooooo yeah. The call is coming from inside the house.

Arguably more striking is the rate of Steam’s growth. “Steam’s catalogue grew faster than its revenue,” the report says, and this has seen those earning extremes widen. A massive 19,714 games were released on Steam in 2024, and 2025 passed even that at 23,107.

Go back just five years and Steam looks very different with 7,427 games released in 2018 – more than even 2019, and the highest on record at the time. 2026 has already doubled that at 15,814 games released, and the year still has several busy months ahead of it.

How many of this are AI garbage? It seems like no coincidence that the number of games corresponds to the increased AI push.

I would love to know how this breaks down with you cut out all the slop products.

A lot of negativity on using Ubuntu. I agree with the hate for Ubuntu but if i was trying ease my mom into Linux I would put her on something like this to begin with.

Ubuntu is a good starting point for people who aren’t comfortable on computers.

In the beginning, YT was more like what you describe. It’s not anymore.

Where you are wrong is that it is Netflix now.

YT sees themselves as a competitor to Netflix. They have said this publicly. And Netflix is trying to compete with YT. They are actively managing it like Netflix without paying anyone for the “shows” that gets added to their streaming service.

I agree with @ji_reilly@lemmy.ml.

If it was a human that was reviewing all that footage, maybe but if it’s all automated by AI, especially as AI gets better, there is no noise. Only a camera logging everything you do in a searchable database.

Unfortunately, it’s the only used marketplace that still exists in my city.

Nice try, YouTube.

This is what they are monitoring for, to try to match people up who might do vandalism on the cameras.

You gotta say “DEFINITELY NOBODY TIE BLACK GARBAGE BAGS OVER FLOCK CAMERA.”
