No president has ever been or will ever be perfect, but we've had some good steps since LBJ:

Clinton's increased taxes on the rich, defense spending cuts, etc, got us our first and last government surplus years since '69, and made a little progress on welfare, but that was largely hampered by a Republican takeover of the House in '94

Obama passed the ACA, which was pretty meaningful to the middle class. Again, further progress got hampered by Republicans in congress in the later years of his presidency

Biden has passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which has lots of progressive incentives that benefit middle class families, including tax breaks for home efficiency improvements, renewable energy, and electric vehicles. He has also helped wipe away billions of dollars in student loan debts, benefiting middle class families (but again, you can thank Republicans for that not moving further or quicker)

You'll note the constant tend though - since the president doesn't write the laws, without congressional support, progressive ambitions get killed.

that actually has a reasonable chance of getting in

unless you're willing to vote third party

To be abundantly clear, with the system as designed in the US, third party (presidential) candidates do not have any chance of "getting in" this election, let alone a "reasonable" chance (in certain areas, some options may exist for lesser political appointments).

Voting third party is at best a weak attempt to signal preference for future elections, but at worst a gift to whichever party or candidate you consider to be "most bad".

By all means, protest vote in the primaries, campaign for candidates you believe in, and most importantly, discuss the issues that are important to you to help bolster public awareness, but please, PLEASE, don't fall for the con that is voting 3rd party in the election.

I don't know who your third party favorite is, but do yourself a favor and look at who is donating to their campaign, and what other campaigns those donors support - a lot of money is thrown at 3rd party candidates to draw votes away from credible political opponents.

Mmm, GPLv3 killing devices.

With at-will employment, it could be grounds for termination in many instances if you refuse

I've studied this (professionally) quite a bit, and I can confidently say you're generally right.

Blends up to 20% hydrogen or so are pretty straightforward and can be done relatively easily without having to spend hundreds of billions of dollars upgrading downstream equipment, but that's only, optimistically, a 20% reduction in emissions. To get past that you need to replace most downstream burners, which will be very slow and cost a fortune. Better off going electric for homes

I work in a very adjacent industry, you don't announce shit early to build hype, you announce it early to shut media the fuck up about "is (business) doing anything?", "is (business) struggling? (small side project) is not nearly as impressive as (major project released like less than a year ago)", and to keep investors (who read those garbage articles) happy.

Neither the project teams nor the fans like this system, but the issue is either we feed the news cycle with speculation on the Next Big Thing™️, or let them beat us with a stick until something new comes out.

Unpaid Linux ambassadors? Isn't that just Lemmy?

Even still, my EV could run the electric dryer for 12h straight on the highest settings. Washer is a rounding error in that estimate. It takes a lot to use up am EV battery.

The issue is how hardware manufacturers treat Android. Most 3rd party manufacturers take months if not years to update their under the hood BS to the latest Android, and they end support after 2 years. All the more reason to go with Pixel devices.

Think of the pressure gauge like a valve, if the hose is running, turning it up and down increases/decreases the pressure drop across the valve, and by extension, the flow.

If you plug the end of the hose so nothing is flowing, turning up and down the valve does nothing to the pressure in the plugged line

There are more advanced pressure regulators that aren't as dependent on flow, but this is not one of them.

Not necessarily, they'll get some OS updates after google pulls the plug, but they'll stop getting firmware and other hardware-specific updates.

Per GrapheneOS:

Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 are end-of-life and shouldn't be used anymore due to lack of security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction.
