Elon Musk said what?

Beautiful <3

Oh yes! For me it works better in B&W, the picture subject follows the classic golden ratio but the best parts are the angles, lines with the reflections and shadows. Really great pic in my opinion. Great job!

Ha ha, you made me listen to the entire song and yes, my mind was dragged through the whole concept of the Rocky Horror scene. Thinking on Eddie riding up that ramp on his motorcycle, the great female vocals, the theatrics and Meatloaf… Narr, the lyrics are awesome but the sound was more, alternative Cali pop or Aussie 80’s sound for me.

Ewww… I’d have to say Huckabee had more spunk and Spicey had more rizz.

+1 for this, it isn’t that hard to do a little scrolling and if you really need it, use in-page searching and choose a city or town within your state.

Those with smooth brains don’t, there is plenty of evidence in the current US administration.

Yeah you have a point, I think I just needed to write it all out in an attempt to purge some frustration.

So, a coup d’état from a non-elected South African billionaire is going to deny payment for essential services and potentially drain the coffers of the United States. Nothing to see here—WTF?!

It’s clear at this point that Trump and Musk’s strategies are beyond shortsighted. Now it’s in our face—it will harm America’s long-term stability, both militarily and economically. Trump’s directives to undermine economic growth with his tariffs, dismantling trade ties with Canada and threatening our neighbors with more pain unless it becomes a fifty-first state, cozying up to our adversaries and idolizing dictators, abandoning science, health, and services while worsening food shortages and increasing food costs—America is going to be far from ‘great.’ Their focus on redirecting resources, like California’s water, shows a lack of care for environmental and social issues; drilling for liquid gold isn’t going to bring affordable food to the table. And this isn’t the half of it.

Appointing people with controversial backgrounds to key positions will weaken and suffocate important institutions. Elon Musk and his army of sycophants have now reportedly taken over the inner workings of multiple government agencies, including the Office of Personnel Management, the Treasury Department, and the General Services Administration. Trillions of dollars in the hands of an unelected billionaire—the ripples of these moronic decisions will ripple around the world, something has to give.

What could go wrong? Anyone here remember that 1983 techno-thriller WarGames?

That’s mighty democratic of you.

Nice pick. It’d probably look really good in black and white.

Got any proof of that? I’m honestly interested.

I remember looking into this once before but with CO2 tanks, I had an idea of cutting them off at different heights or levels to make bells out of them. I’m pretty sure sound wise it would be pretty hit or miss but worth a try.

Nope, I’m getting the UMP redirect fail issue here.

Thanks for the heads up. I signed up for Futo Chat on Zulip and realized I didn’t mention the problem was on my desktop client (MacOS). However, through your link, I found the update for Android. I’m happy with it, so cheers for that. For those interested, the Grayjay announcement on the 17th was: “Hey everyone, we’ve been aware of playback issues for YouTube and have been working hard to fix them. This fix is now released on the stable channel (and requires an app update). We are aware that age-restricted, controversial videos, or other videos requiring login may not yet work.” We will work on this next week. The desktop release required for this fix will also be available next week. Here is the change log for the new mobile version 281:"

Edit: getting a UMP redirect fail issue on Android and can’t play YT. When turning off my VPN, it seems to have fixed the issue. (perhaps temporarily)

Hey, I paid for a Proton Unlimited package for the second year. After hearing that Proton CEO Andy Yen voiced support for the U.S. Republican Party, I wondered about the company’s direction. However, there isn’t clear evidence that a Trump administration would be anti-privacy or worse than the Democrats regarding privacy in the U.S. I chose the company because Proton AG is headquartered in Plan-les-Ouates, Switzerland, where its data centers are also located. Additionally, I selected the EU model when purchasing. They have over 110 servers and seem fairly fast compared to my experience with NordVPN over the years. Sadly, in the YouTube field, most of these IP addresses across its global servers have been flagged, and I’m pretty sure I can’t even post this reply on lemmy.world without pausing my VPN.
