The holes are only for manufacturability.

I don’t think you know what “sarcastic” means. Have you been drinking again?

Define “done”.

On mobile, when everyone was releasing their new voice assistant technologies, Cortana outperformed them all. On desktop I agree that Cortana was a waste of space.

I’ve been a MS products fan since Windows Phone, Cortana, and OneNote stole my heart. I loved the great features that Windows 10 and Edge provided out-of-the box. Bing provided better results than Google for some time.

But Phone was never accepted by the market, and with it, Cortana faded away. OneNote hasn’t kept up with the market, and they somehow broke the cursor on mobile. Sticky Notes lost compatibility with Dark Mode. They started pushing ads to Windows start menu, and embedded ads in Edge Collections.

Microsoft makes great software, then fuck it all up. Oh well, back to Linux.

The Israeli government is murdering children and committing war crimes, and they’re upset about what The Onion has to say about it.

Yes. I think it’s especially important for attracting (or perhaps more accurately, maintaining) new users to the fediverse.

I’m not in a position to affect change in a powerful way. So I try to stay educated and informed, I vote at the ballot box, I vote with my wallet, I donate what I reasonably can to places where I think it will help, and I speak out when it’s appropriate to do so.

Like I said your original request (statistics of “legal” CCW permit holder, without premeditation, discharging a firearm, in California) is incredibly specific, making it very difficult to find quality research. But here’s what I was able to find for you:

Johns Hopkins has this: https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2022/study-finds-significant-increase-in-firearm-assaults-in-states-that-relaxed-conceal-carry-permit-restrictions

This one includes some good details as to why these studies are challenging, and what causes errors in the data: https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/analysis/concealed-carry/violent-crime.html

Here’s a summary from GVPedia (note the sources in the footnotes): https://crimeresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/GVPedia-Permitless-Carry-Factsheet-Feb2022.pdf

Hopes this helps.

PRI is a right-wing political policy advocacy group. Do you have a nonpartisan source?

He never said that stupid.

I have no idea, that’s a very specific and difficult statistic to try and research. Do you have the answer?

hmmm. Sounds like something an insurrectionist would say.

It finally got the fingers right.

The liberal agenda is state flags with feet. At least it’s better than when they copypasta the racist confederate flag on to a state flag.

Jesus Christ.

I don’t have to imagine. I was there 3000 years ago. In the early days of the web they saved entire newspaper pages (as printed!) as single image files. You’d have to zoom in and pan around the page to read it. It was absolutely painful.

You lost me with all the ads baked into the OS. You’re not gonna win me back with… checks notes Notepad.

We should do a “where are they now” on this kid.

HE LED AN INSURRECTION! How the hell are we falling for it a second time?
