Pretty sure ICE agents see it as they get to shoot rubber bullets and throw tear gas at people protesting racism. They aren’t being forced to do it, they’re being given permission.

politics @lemmy.world• Governors won’t hold Trump meeting after only Republicans invitedEnglish
104·2 days agoNGA’s mission is to represent all 55 governors
For anyone else wondering what’s represented beyond the 50 states, the NGA’s Governors page includes the governors of American Somoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

Technology@lemmy.world•TV Execs Warn FCC: NextGen TV DRM Could Turn Free TV Into Gambling and Pay-TV PlatformsEnglish
931·3 days agoI expect that not only will the current FCC decline to do anything about this, the complaint may have given Trump a new business idea.

Linux@programming.dev•Origami Linux Introduces an Immutable OS Built Around COSMICEnglish
13·10 days agoHowever, the only reason I can see for using it over Fedora Silverblue is that Origami ships with a well-configured, ready-to-use COSMIC Desktop out of the box, rather than GNOME.
The author doesn’t seem to be aware of Fedora COSMIC Atomic. That seems like a better reference point.

Technology@lemmy.world•Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee"English
14·12 days agoHowever, Epic Game Store only actually exists on Windows, and it’s on iOS in the EU.
Your information seems to be outdated. On the EGS download page I get an “Install on Windows” link with text below it “Also available on Mac OS, Android, iPhone (EU only) and iPad (EU only).”

473·24 days agoPerhaps it should have been wide adoption that led to a boom, instead of a boom in hope of adoption?

World News@lemmy.world•Trump to Macron: Join 'Board of Peace' or Face 200% Tariffs on French Wine and ChampagneEnglish
113·24 days agoTrump has invited the leaders of 60 nations to join the Board of Peace with the stipulation that each contribute $1 billion dollars.
It’s not “Join the Board of Peace or get tariffs”, it’s “Give me a billion dollars or get tariffs”

News@lemmy.world•Trump says Nobel Prize Denial ends l obligation to think purely of peaceEnglish
9·25 days agoNominations for the Nobel Peace Prize need to be submitted by January 31, and peace-related accomplishments after that probably aren’t factored into the decision-making process. So most of what Trump has done since he got back in office didn’t even count for last year’s award, and his new threats will count for this year’s. If he understood how the award actually worked he might realize how badly he’s messed up.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x01 "Kids These Days" & 1x02 "Beta Test"English
4·27 days agoThe away team braclets are programmed for at least a couple of different modes, and switching is pretty quick. I would think if they could use programmable matter to make a multi-mode tricoder, it would be standard.
At any rate, I assume they can’t program matter into dilithium, because that would have made recovering from the Burn a whole lot easier.

8·27 days agoRe: limits of programmable matter:
On Discovery away teams wore programmable matter flashlight bracelets that could turn into a phaser, and I think even a phase rifle, but from these last couple of episodes it seems they can’t make a tricorder that turn into a medical tricorder.

5·28 days agoThe Doctor mentions he put an aging program 5 centuries before to put organics at ease, which is obviously the Watsonian explanation for why Robert Picardo looks older.
That should also establish that he’s not the Doctor backup from VOY: “Living Witness”, who wouldn’t have been online 500 years ago.

Nominees for the job require Senate approval, so technically they could try to make Trump put up someone good. Bondi was nominated when it turned out the Senate wasn’t likely to approve Trump’s first pick, Matt Gaetz.
