Stars rush to back new frontrunner Kamala Harris after US president bows out from 2024 White House race
Extraordinary rendition
Thank you for taking the time to type this out. I wish the people who needed to read and turn it over in their head were willing and able.
Democrats simply have no levers to pull to make wholesale changes. I remember Hillary attempting to engage with healthcare reform during her time as First Lady and being pilloried for it. Obama's administration couldn't muster nearly enough votes to enact single-payer healthcare and had to opt for a market based solution that just eked through congress, only to be lambasted by the modern left for it.
Many around these parts act as if Democrats can just enact reforms by fiat and do not answer to a largely centrist, if not conservative, constituency. A cursory examination shows this has never been the case; the center/left has always had to govern via consensus.
Now "leftists" are eating their own to a degree that leaves me often suspecting that many are little more than poorly disguised MAGA adherents bleating accelerationist nonsense. This thread and any other like it is replete with these moans of surrender, and who can be surprised? Organizing takes much more effort than vomiting into a keyboard and these folks are by and large too lazy to suss out an understanding of recent history, instead choosing to repeat the same canards (see: the conspiracy theory of independent Bernie being cheated in lieu of not being able to come close to winning the Democratic primary.)
This is the crux of it, American's have shown us time and again they are centrist/center left at best. These folks are so trapped in their ideological bubbles that they cannot fathom their extreme outlier position, small wonder that there is so much accelerationist language of late.
Compromise is taboo and so any candidate that has agitated inside the system for change ends up verboten.
Have been playing this on Steam Deck since the handheld released and it's fantastic with the trackpads. Also a big fan of the audio syncing features as bluetooth has a good deal more latency than speakers. My only wish for the title is that it allows us to save settings per device in lieu of having to remember the particular number of milliseconds for each one.
Lines of Battle: A deeply tactical browser game

Hello World,
Lines of Battle is an evolving, simultaneous turn-based war game that simulates the Napoleonic, line-based clashes of yesteryear. It has excellent depth and the settings allow for quick or long games that fit the player's schedule. Ranked matchmaking is supported alongside custom matches and bot play to help get over the small learning curve. In addition, a map maker is featured, there is a quality community alongside clans (coalitions,) and the entirety of the game is free to play. An android client is also in beta for those that would rather tap and drag.
I've really fallen for this little game, it scratches an itch of mine I'd long forgotten about and is also very approachable while allowing for a ton of variability. Anyone that has sat down at a tabletop war game will appreciate all of the possibilities while also being impressed at just how very streamlined the gameplay is. It defin

Same, apparently 2v2 (and 4v4 customs) were just added this month and so I hope the population keeps trending upwards. Their Discord is highly recommended if you're into that kind of thing.

No, I've served and it has nothing to do with that. Thankfully advocating for violence isn't allowed on Lemmy; take it to one of the right's fascist holes where it belongs.

Classic.

Advocating murder absolutely brings you below the level of this horrible human being and works to validate violence on the right. Your cowardice is a shameful stain on the community.
My problem is it's on sub-stack. So no.

About political violence? No, I don't think I will.

What the fuck is wrong with you?
I had to dip into the wiki from time to time to get caught up on small details. There's a lot to miss, no doubt.

Mark Ruffalo spoke about what’s next, and told his followers we have our “marching orders”.
"No to Trump/Vance. No to the right-wing Christian religious takeover of our nation. Nothing wrong with Christianity; just shouldn’t be running a nation birthed from freedom of religion.”
Appreciate someone saying this loud and proud.
apnews.com The NYPD is using social media to target critics. That brings its own set of worries
The New York Police Department has been taking a more active role in trying to influence public policy through slick online videos and social media posts.
Michael Hallett, a professor of criminology at the University of North Florida who studied the effects of “Cops,” said he viewed the NYPD’s forays into social media as a natural response to a digital media ecosystem that rewards speed and sensationalism.
The proliferation of body-camera footage and, increasingly, drones, have made it easy for police to create their own reality series, free of delays imposed by the TV gear and network schedules, he said.
“They now have a proactive and sophisticated messaging system that is designed and intended to deliver messages on behalf of the police agenda,” Hallett added. “In the negotiation for control of the message, that gives them the upper hand.”
Fingerprint unlock for Pixel in-screen readers
Not sure if this is a log that Android 14 exposed but when I first got my 7a I could not get fingerprint actions working. Anyway it works now.
When setting a Logcat Entry event under Profiles, search for a "Biometrics/AuthenticationClient" Component in the log. Then try filtering for something like "onAuthenticated(true), ID:123456789", the individual finger ID. Tasks can then be fired off on unlock.
