Oklahoma’s state superintendent on Thursday directed all public schools to teach the Bible, including the Ten Commandments, in the latest conservative push testing the boundaries between religious instruction and public education....
This court finds that, without any question of interpretation, church and state, including publicly-funded education institutions, must be separated. We also find that, with the evidence considered, the teaching of the Bible does not violate the separation of church and state. Teaching of religious texts may, for educational purposes, be added to school curriculum when said curriculum does not mandate teachings containing subjects contrary to the interests of national security and economic prosperity.
Ah, but you see, that’s where the national security and economic prosperity conditions come in. Can’t be having alternative teachings encouraging terrorism and communism, you know?

I’m not saying the system is rigged, but what’s a few million extra bribery lobbying dollars out of your corporate budget when it means that you can secure your goal of reduced government oversight? It’s not like you have to do this for any other political candidate than the Republican and Democratic nominees either, since you know news outlets will make sure to not platform and illigitimize any independent party that’s a threat to their own financial interests.
The only way to begin preventing lobbying interests from overtaking voter interests would be to have anti-lobbying politicians, and enough of them to actually get something done without being blocked by both the Democrats and Republicans. That would only happen after multiple decades of anti-lobbying presidents being elected, and that itself will never happen because the RNC and DNC are both paid off by corporate interests, so they’ll never nominate a candidate that goes against their masters. And, on top of that, it’s highly unlikely that a third-party candidate will ever succeed when they’re both illigitimized by the media and put in an extreme disadvantage by the electoral college.

The problem is that they’re trying to frame it as a better replacement for sudo when it’s really not.
In some respects, it’s safer by not using a setuid binary. In other respects, it massively increases the surface area by relying on the correctness of three separate daemons: systemd, dbus, and polkitd. If any one of those components are misconfigured, you risk an unauthorized user gaining root privileges.
With sudo, the main concern is the sudo process being exploited through memory safety bugs since it runs at root automatically.
Don’t get me wrong, sudo has a lot of stupid decisions and problems. There’s a ton of code in sudo for features that almost nobody uses, and there’s bound to be bugs in there somewhere. It needs to be replaced with something simpler, but run0 is not that.

LOS ANGELES – President Biden on Saturday night said he expects the winner of this year’s presidential election will likely have the chance to fill two vacancies on the Supreme Court – a decision he warned would be “one of the scariest parts” if his Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump, is successful in...
I’m a liberal, and I sure as shit know the only ethical choice is to vote against Trump. People who demand perfection as the alternative to a fascist takeover aren’t just virtue signaling but also maliciously stupid.
I’ll give you an upvote for the satire/sarcasm, but I want you to know that it comes with a feeling of disgust towards myself for upvoting those words.
From June 1 to June 11, Israeli forces killed over 800 Palestinians and wounded over 2,400 as they carried out bombardments and raids across Gaza, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) reported. This is an average of over 72 Palestinians killed each day at the hands of Israeli forces....

His posting of a video of a man cursing at Joe Scarborough sends a broader message: If elected, he’ll use state power to come after countless other Americans.
Biden doesn’t represent the “woke” people. Those are the people calling for Biden’s head on a pike because of the United States’ support to Israel, and they’ve been very vocal about refusing to vote for him.
I guess we know how the RNC is getting their funding for the rest of the year. Wait, it’s Trump running this year. Sorry, I meant “I guess we know how a fraction of Trump’s legal fees are being paid off this year.”
“We have received further reports and questions concerning the changes made to our Helldivers 2 product on PC, and we would like to clear the air on these matters. Please refer to our knowledgebase article for Helldivers 2 for more details.”
The article:
“Why is a PlayStation Network™ account required for Helldivers 2? In order to deliver the best matchmaking and gameplay experience, a PlayStation Network™ account must be used when playing Helldivers 2 on PC.
I bought Helldivers 2, but the PlayStation Network™ is not available in my region. Will I be refunded? We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused, and we are working hard to bring PlayStation Network™ services to new regions around the globe.
Will my personal data be safe if I link my Steam account to the PlayStation Network™? Rest assured, your data will only be used in accordance with the Sony PlayStation Network™ Privacy Policy.
I didn’t need to use a PlayStation Network™ account before May 2024, why do I need to now? Prior to May 2024, a technical issue was preventing the PlayStation Network™ sign-in applet from correctly functioning in PC releases of Helldivers 2. This has since been fixed, and you should now be able to play with other consumers who purchased the PlayStation™ 5 release of Helldivers 2.”
They should be paying me for these top-notch PR non-answers.
Saw this today, and … well, I’m not going to be so forgiving to people suggesting to vote Third Party rather than vote for Biden. If Trump wants me to do something, and you want me to do that same something, that tells me you’re aligned with Trump.
I think, in hindsight, I was very wrong about this.
If months of pussyfooting around dropping support for the Israeli government in spite of public outcry and Democrat voters’ desires hasn’t done anything, maybe we’re not actually something that Biden cares about. I don’t think Israel holds that much value in military intelligence that it’s worth risking both tarnishing the United States’ global reputation and being hated by his own voter base over.
Either he’s expecting to win, just by virtue of his opposition being worse, and doing what he wants because of it (which you pointed out), or he’s doing what his party was paid to do by lobbyists. It doesn’t make sense for someone who is supposed to be representing his voters to go through so much effort to avoid listening to them unless there are greater interests at play. Either way, something is very fucked up about this election cycle, and it’s going to have some nasty consequences for the future.
