I work at a university that is also part of a state system with their own rules (also driven by federal regulations).

You’re conflating the government coming on campus and exerting the power of the law with universities having to comply with said laws. And yes, universities will comply because they have no choice.

Also make sure you follow your swing through for maximum impact. If you stop swinging once the bat makes contact, you’re stopping the force used to drive those home runs.

Yes and no. The money given to universities is mostly earmarked for very specific things, as designated by those who donate the money. It’s not like they have a huge tower of gold that they can swim in to their liking. They have a lot of oversight and auditing to make sure money goes where it’s suppose to. And if they want to keep their many accreditations - and they do - then they need that money to jump through whatever hoops their accreditors require.

This is not just because of the Trump administration. If a university wants federal money, it has to follow certain rules for that money. Its not as symbiotic as you would think. The government can fund research from other, non-academic, institutions.

It makes sense that the rules aren’t arbitrary; e.g., university must accommodate the ADA. But, as we’re seeing these days, nothing stops them from imposing new rules; e.g., Executive Order 13985.

Goddamnit. Hasn’t anybody learned anything from Hollywood? Sequels and reboots most always suck worse than the originals.

Plus, why is his employer pretending he never existed?

Any university that accepts federal funds is beholden to the federal government. And since universities need that money, they will do everything they can to keep Big Brother happy.

As a Mac user, I like Time Machine for backups. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done. There is a Linux version.

Nb. I’ve not used this particular software, so YMMV.

Lossless JPEG would be amazing.

Not a Mlem dev, but it looks like they stopped doing releases a year ago. Click on the Tags tab and you’ll see 2.0.1 from a couple weeks ago.

He’s a good dad. I hope someone tells him that. He deserves some positive praise right now.

Point of fact: the US are the terrorists here. 👊 🇺🇸 🔥

I’m not too sure about neovim, but in regular vim you can do yy and grab the entire line (including the line break).

Gosh. How will you figure that out? Searching up “neovim docs” in a search engine only gets you to the neovim documentation. THEN, you have to search the documentation for “paste”. It’s TWO WHOLE STEPS.

Wow, that’s so hard. It’s no wonder that you posted to Lemmy to make someone else do the hard work of … <checks notes> using a search engine with your own two unbroken hands.

Yo dawg. You could’ve just downvoted and moved on with your day. But instead, you decided to show the entire internet what a self-important dick you are.

I’ll let you in on a little secret: not everybody learns the same way that you do. Also, not everyone has the same level of experience. Being kind is free. Being an ass is… well, embarrassing. Do better.

I mean just ask Clarence Thomas. From what I’ve gleaned, he hasn’t paid for shit in years.

Agreed. First comes education. Then comes ownership. When my kids are old enough, I’m going to get them firearm classes so they at least know how it all works.

FWIW, I’m not telling anyone to buy a gun. I simply feel that people should continue to have that choice.

If only people felt as fervent about the other amendments.

Maybe. But, and hear me out, we do not want to make it easy for them when they inevitably come for us.

I agree with all except not owning a gun. I’m not a 2A’er, but legal and responsible gun ownership is one of our constitutional rights. The problems we have with guns right now fall directly into gun control territory, which is listed right below owning a gun on this list.
