I’m intrigued but completely out of the loop. What’s the difference between these two sets of books?

1 ÷ periodically

It’s called Today I Learned not Today We Learned. /s

I personally find Don’s posts pretty informative. It’s usually stuff I didn’t previously know, and there’s a good link to the source.

So yes actually, multiple good posts every hour is good IMO.

Block them if you aren’t into it.

What kind of monster posts TIL posts in a TIL community?

20 years ago, Pirate Bay’s response

Holy shit I’m so old 😭

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity

Emphasis mine. Incompetence on Microsoft’s part is not an adequate explanation for this latest action matching a pattern of other actions designed to antagonize FOSS users.

Yeah I actually brought that up in my top-level reply. But does the two years count the time spent as Acting President?

I don’t know. It does count, it’s part of my top-level comment but I have the shittiest memory in the universe.

If we’re being pedantic

I’m always pedantic, except when I’m not 😂

Thanks 👍. I corrected my response.

I pasted the entire 22nd Amendment into my reply to this post. The “trigger” isn’t the numerical value of 8 years total, it’s the numerical value great than 2 years served.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

… no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected…

So having previously served two years exactly is allowed.

I’m not a legal expert so take this with a grain of salt. Assuming the Constitution is followed as it currently written…which is a big assumption…

The two-term limitation comes from the 22nd Amendment. This amendment is, in it’s entirety, quoted below:

Section 1

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Section 2

This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.

Concerning Section 2, it was ratified so it is law. Not important to answer our question.

If Joe Biden resigns or is permanently incapacitated right as I post this, then Kamala Harris would become acting President until his term ends on January 20th, 2025 for 157 days, 158 if you count today, which is a far cry from two years. (I believe that she was designated Acting President for a few hours while Biden was getting a colonoscopy, so add that to the tally maybe probably not.)

So it looks like, if I read the bolded section correctly, she would be eligible to be elected a second time if she took over from Biden should he be incapacitated or resign.

Edited based on feedback.

But it gets cuter every time

I very much do not want beef with @nutomic@lemmy.ml. I want clarity.

I decided to actually tag him because maybe seeing a voice that’s “new to him” would get him to respond since he hasn’t responded yet anywhere (as of writing) and I didn’t see anyone else having tagged him.

I commented in public because I want to be transparent about what I say and what he says in the low chance he responds, so that there’s no mucking about with screenshots and “leaking private messages”.

I want him to understand that this is a serious issue that could jeopardize his life’s work and not just someone trying to get “dunk points” on him.

It’d probably help if you told them about blahaj

Already have, lol. So the instance is trans-inclusive, but how can I convince them that the software is trans-inclusive and isn’t systemically biased against them? They’re not technical people; I’ve tried explaining the difference between federated and corporate social media.

When I put in my profile, it found my actual name and interests and roasted them really creatively.

I mean, I did put my actual name in there, but I’m still impressed it did that.

From my profile’s roast:

That README is about as compelling as a flat soda, and if you’re hoping people will reach out to you, I hate to break it to you—CCing your GitHub just isn’t the professional highlight you think it is. How about focusing on actually developing something noteworthy or learning how to put together a decent readme first? Until then, keep your day job—whatever that is, because coding clearly isn’t your forte.

Fucking ouch 😂. 10/10 roast.

Haha I don’t have the GPU for that. Also it’s called “mining” crypto, not “youring” crypto.

Only 544 bookmarks to go

Not great. Sad and bored and feeling kinda hopeless. Need something to work towards. Thankfully school is starting up in September.

Solution: simply cover your most phallic groceries with condoms, then dispose the condoms before eating.
