Just like when Threads launched and or when Reddit made the API changes. You get a flood of new users who want to talk about being new users.

Exactly. It’s vulnerable to the same thing American styles democracy is vulnerable to.

The UK’s government hasn’t exactly been “stable” over the past decade.

Unfortunately, I’m also being forced to buy it, even though I didn’t break it.

I wonder how many of these people are just now realizing that they have immediate family and friends who won’t be here next Christmas.

But Lemmy told me Gen Z was going to save us all this election.

The Dems did not control both the WH and the Senate when RGB died. They do now - for another 7 weeks.

They’d need to do what they do before bringing a bill to the floor. Make sure that they have the votes ahead of time.

If you get one of those two people bought in on a particular justice candidate, then you could tell the current sitting Justice “it’s safe,” and you could fast-track the new person.

That said, there is still risk of someone having a change of heart at the last minute.

The way this article is framed sounds like bullshit to me. 18.1 was released less than 2 weeks ago. Any phone running this version of iOS would have had to already been in custody and somehow upgraded to this version, or otherwise brought into custody very recently—too recently for this to have already posed such a problem that law enforcement is “freaking out” and reporting it to the media.

A non-insignificant amount of people have been running the public betas because of Apple intelligence, RCS / iMessage toys, UI customization, etc. For example, MixPanel reported about 2% of the iOS install base running 18.0 before 18.0’s launch. IMHO, that’s pretty crazy for a beta OS.

Looks like the big difference is that this is on by default, it appears to get enabled when cops turn off internet access to prevent access to FindMy and remote lockdowns.

IMHO, the novelty of the feature isn’t what makes this headline worthy. This is noteworthy because of the scale. iOS is over a quarter of phones on earth, and in English speaking countries and Japan, you’re looking at numbers that are often over 50%.

This will impact a LOT more investigations than Graphene, and I imagine Apple will be back in court fighting cops who want to remove privacy and security features. Hopefully this stuff stands up to the autocrats coming into power in the states.

IMHO, it’s only worth doing if the independents who caucus with the Dems can be brought onboard with a replacement proactively before she resigns.

If you can’t get the Manchins of the world to proactively back a specific fast-tracked replacement, don’t even try.

Isn’t the argument that a younger replacement would be fast tracked now, while the Dems had the whitehouse and the senate?

The left obviously doesn’t want to leave a vacant seat for Trump. The point is to lock the seat down even harder.

Cake? To have AND eat?

But when you look at what people said in the exit poll interviews, most were not voting for fascism when they voted for Trump. They were voting on the illusion that he would be better for their pocket book.

In exit polls, people actually hated Trump and his extremism significantly more, but they’re hurting so much financially that they were willing to roll the dice on his “I’ll take you back to 2017-19” bullshit.

He go in the same way other strongmen often get into power, claims of economic populism.

It’s your right to point fingers and blame people, but if you want to get them to vote and bring them over to your side, that is historically not been the best motivator.

They told you exactly what they are planning to do.

Which is why half of the country voted against Trump, and why a lot of the other half voted for Trump. He told us exactly what he was planning to do.

A lot of people are going to die because of this conspiracy theorist.

I think of someone very close to me who takes mediation for depression, medication that RFK thinks is bullshit, and medication that is regulated by the FDA.

She got a bad batch of something from a generic supplier and became dangerously suicidal. We were able to report this to the FDA and send them the medication so people wouldn’t die.

I can’t see how less staffing is going to make things better. We need more people on the ground so inspections are more regular and so deadly manufacturing problems are caught early.

There are concepts of a plan
