She's not white.

For "free" except you need thousands of dollars upfront for hardware and a full hardware/software stack you need to maintain.

This is like saying azure is cooked because you can rack mount your own PC

That's not a USB drive, it's an adapter.

When I lived in South Carolina, I had a friend who needed quick cash, he had

: 4 handguns, : a long barrel rifle, : a cross bow, : a shotgun

He asked me if I knew anyone who may want to buy any of it, so I texted a coworker I thought might be interested.

He showed up with around $1500 in cash handed it to my friend, packed it all up in his car and drove away, they didn't even learn each others names.

The sale was completely legal, and took about 15 minutes.

In many states there are effectively NO barriers to stop people from getting a gun legally.

How do you solve for example, de-federation with government owned instances ( which I imagine many would do)

Mastodon suffers the same problem as Twitter, if the people in control of the servers don't like it, they get to be arbitrate for their users. The solution is not for everyone to host their own instance as it's just immensely wasteful and complex, and since de-federation is not positively communicated, one can go a very long time before realizing they are getting content filtered unwillingly.

I just don't see how this problem (specific content being blocked) would be solved by the Kamala Harris's campaign team having a mastodon instance.

Kamala Harris isn't a 'creator'

It wouldn't really help I think, I think what needs to be done is a change in the verbage and communication, nov 5th should be communicated as the deadline, and early voting should be renamed to just be the voting period.

In my state early voting starts on Oct 17th, meaning you have more than two week for in person voting.

Absentee ballots (mail in) can be cast as soon as you get it, which is typically almost 2 months in advance.

Besides, the people who would get 'national vote day' off as a holiday are the people who probably already have the means to get to a ballot box.

I think you mean swabbing the correct word.

Proton is not actually sandboxed the way an actual container is.

A) if the program running in proton was given root access in some way, say by tricking people into entering their root password for a claimed update, it would have complete normal control of your entire system just like normal.

B)apps running in proton still have access to the regular file system.

Wine isn't an emulator or a vm.

For what it's worth, you can form a partnership with someone and not be married, there are a lot of ways to do it, including incorporating if you want to go that route or just performing a partnership agreement, which allows for things like shared ownership, there are a lot of other rights, but business are making it their goal to get those right for things like partnerships too.

Why do you say that? Can you explain yourself beyond just an absolute statement?
