All the big shitty banks are going to do this. Credit unions are the way.

Coffee is a critical component of that breakfast. It’s the only way you’re going to shit after eating eggs and white rice for breakfast everyday.

Although, half of the county didn’t vote, because they know that the person in charge of everything important is the Supreme Leader.

Pretty sure it’s the other way around in many nations. The right’s goal is to meet the Taliban in BCE.

Yeah, IMHO, the high court should’ve said that you need a safe place for someone to stay if you’re going to force an individual off the street. If you don’t have nearly enough shelter beds for your entire homeless population, and a 1/3rd of your shelter beds are not being used, then there is something about that shelter system that probably needs to be fixed.

And that said, at least CA is trying to fill vacancies. There are places that are going to arrest people even if no bed exists. And that is just going to continue to push more and more unhoused people to coastal states that are less cruel.

Storing stuff as plain text is so hot right now.

Yes. CA only has enough beds for half of the unhoused population, but significantly less than half of the unhoused population is claiming a bed.

For example, even though San Francisco and Oakland have fewer beds than unhoused people, last year SF had 10% of its beds empty and a few years before that, Oakland was coming in at 36% vacant. I don’t know what the current numbers are.

I don’t agree with this policy, but CA wants to jail people when there is a vacancy and someone is refusing to take the bed. Before this court ruling, CA could not do that.

What it’s like to live next to Ted Cruz.

Yet another reason why I’m willing to pay out the ass to live in California. If I become an expert in a technology field, and leave a toxic company for a different company in the same field, my previous employer can’t sue me.

And, like with the US, you now have progressives inheriting a house that conserves shat in for over a decade. Austerity, Brexit, etc.

I’m curious to see how good Britain’s long term memory is. America forgets about the dangers of conservatism all too quickly.

Not saying I agree with this position, but I’ll pass along the argument that CA’s governor makes.

CA has a lot of empty shelter beds, and they couldn’t clear some camps unless they had enough beds to house everyone. It was all or nothing. They couldn’t say “we have enough beds in the county for half of the encampments, so we’ll only clear the half that have the largest public health and safety problems.”

Basically, CA only wants to jail people if a bed exists and isn’t being used. Problem is, some states / counties will look at this broad ruling and will just people in jail, bed or not.

Also, this ruling doesn’t account for shelter quality. Sometimes the street is actually safer than a shelter, and arresting a person for prioritizing safety is pretty shitty.

Thanks!

Sorry, long day and I’m pretty tired. I mistook “comm” as communications, not community.

I love Bernie, but he’s 82 and has heart disease.

A couple of thoughts on the timeliness critique.

One of the big reasons that the removals, reports and comms take forever is because the mod tools are trash. People simply don’t see the notifications until they log in to the web app and look in the header.

Another reason that stuff takes forever is because people don’t volunteer to mod. Lemmy world videos has had requests for moderators out for weeks. Next to know one wants to volunteer their time to help the community.

If we want fast moderation, we need more eyes. Especially since Lemmy doesn’t really do a great job of sending notifications.

If the president of the US is going to step down from an incumbency race, I’ma bet that’s an Oval Office or White House press briefing room announcement - with the full White House press pool invited. That needs as much attention as possible so the maximum amount of people know what’s up on the Nov ballot.

Yeah. The most secure companies I’ve worked at actually only had a small group, of very competent people, who were paid well, treated with respect, and not presented with a lot of organizational or infrastructural red tape.

I’ve worked with teams of 10 that had shit locked down tight, and teams of hundreds who had software that was exploding and getting exploited left and right.

If someone tells you more head count = security, I would not consider them an expert.

To be fair, in a large company, there is usually only about 30 people who are actually good and know what is going on, and hundred of others who are checking in trash.

Apparently those Bieber bangs made it all the way to Russia a decade ago.
