@joeo10 There are other browsers available but most are infected by MS or google. Bad landscape, similar to when AOL, Netscape or Internet Explorer all ruled the waves.
@joeo10 I was not aware of the technicalities of the ruling, nor of the background. I'm shocked, though that Mozilla turned into a pay for play thing, and yes, I haven't been paying attention. Thanks for the information. Now, are there alternatives to Mozilla should they go belly up if Google does not win the appeal?
@joeo10 Is my memory bad or was Mozilla once an independent entity? I'm sorry I did not realize that they have become so dependent on Google for anything? When did that happen?
While every single media outlet was howling at Biden, every power person and celebrity with a voice were demanding he quit the race, Joe Biden was working through the most complicated hostage negotiation in US history. How he kept his nerve is just stunning. He worked for us just as everyone was telling him 'you're too old to preside over the US." https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/01/biden-campaign-prisoner-swap-00172408
Women: this is our chance to finally turn the clock forward and elect a woman to the highest office in the land. We got fucked over back in 2016 by men who were bought by the Russians. Let's take back the dialogue and make sure men know that we're not going away! #kamala2024
@burnoutqueen@donkeyblam@PhoenixSerenity In the SSDI world, most recipients are supported by spouses or family. To be precise the whole system is bad and insulting. The payments depend on the entire income, and you have to defend your existence to SSDI every fucking month. If you do not they will cut the check amount. Because they can. It's humiliating. "oh, you made $ 5.00 more so we're gonna cut his check by $ 100." Fuck them.
Once this bullshit all dies down (pray god we get to the election without a donor coup d'etat) we should all look at the people who started this fight-the Democrats who played into it & continued it. Perhaps it's about time we destroyed Citizens United and made the donor class a thing of the past. The 1% has too much power to corrupt our elections and they're doing better than the Russians for destroying it from within.
@GottaLaff THIS is why all the 1% is so upset with Biden and are trashing him: he's giving the IRS more money and power to go after the bums who don't pay their taxes! Do it!
@RickiTarr For anyone who is disabled, we're treated like invisible beings who do not deserve to exist. Being deaf is an invisible disability thus I don't have the overt discrimination others do, but that's because I don't call attention to it. That's why so many of us being disabled is something we must hide to be accepted as actual human beings, not flawed or damaged lives. Yes, it is humiliating to be like this but people don't want to accept us as we are, we have to do it for them.
Did anyone really believe for a second the country that had the French revolution to rid itself of the monarchy and the aristocracy was going to allow a bunch of thugs to take away their rights? The French know their history, and ain't gonna let anyone take their freedom!
"Oh, it's gonna cost US money! We don't want to spend it! You have to spend it!" Chase sucks hard. Never bank with a bank that would rather keep your money than spend theirs. https://www.thedailybeast.com/chase-bank-warns-it-will-end-free-checking-accounts "Marianne Lake, who runs Chase Bank, predicts significant cost increases in everyday banking for Americans. She argues that new rules to limit overdraft and late fees will force the bank to charge for free services like checking accounts and wealth-management tools."
For all those whining that Joe Biden should step out of the race, are they prepared for the disaster that Donald Trump will bring back? There is no other Democratic candidate that can or will be able to mount a challenge this close to the nomination. I think people are reacting hysterically to this whole debate not thinking of a demented empowered criminal would do to the US. We'd go down the road to perdition called 'Totalitarianism" all the way because his friends will be working to do so.
What is going on? Between the NY Times, WaPO, Daily Beast and others, they're all gunning for Joe Biden-they're actively targeting the man, and giving him no options. What the fuck is wrong with you people? DON'T YOU REMEMBER WHAT TRUMP DID THE FIRST TIME? HE'S PLANNING A REICH! HE'S PLANNING A DICTATORSHIP, YOU GODDAMN MORONS! STOP DOING THIS!
