Delta is the only U.S.-based mainline carrier where flight attendants, fleet service, and mechanics are not represented by a union

Russian propaganda

ah yes it's that notoriously pro-russia website hrw.org 😂

you could edit your post title

Have you tried https://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster/ ?

I have not, but I think it does what you're looking for.

The demo video emphasizes its use as an emoji picker but it was originally created for typing Indic languages.

i figured this was likely astroturfing by one of the many shitty companies it is advertising, so i went looking for the source. somewhat to my surprise this image was apparently created by reddit user u/theFallenWalnut who's actually been posting there for over 10 years 🤔

if you check their account you'll see they've actually updated their recommendations to remove several companies (including proton and spotify) which are included in the older version of it posted here.

but, they're still suggesting lots of garbage.

Can a country “choose” the ambassador of another country? That’s counterintuitive to me

Countries choose their own ambassador to another country. The nominee this article is about is from the US.

Separately however, countries can choose to accept or reject the ambassadors other countries send to them. It's very uncommon to reject them, but actually South Africa’s ambassador to the US was expelled earlier this month. I wouldn't be surprised if South Africa doesn't accept Bozell.

if that is the case I choose upper-left of the political compass for you (:

i'm curious, where do you place yourself on that compass? if you've got 20 minutes I highly recommend this video about it.

as a mod/admin, i would appreciate being able to edit post titles. there have been a fair number of times where i asked a poster to do so, and then waited a while for them to before deleting the post if they don't.

and/or, it would be nice to have a way for us to temporarily semi-delete a post while waiting for OP to make requested changes to it; that is, to hide it from the community view but leave it visible to people with the URL, or people who find it via the user profiles of the poster or commenters in it.

editing titles would be awkward without an edit history or, at the least, a way to see that some 2nd party had edited it, and editing post bodies would be even more so. but it would make sense and be useful with an edit history, i think.

i would also appreciate having content addressability, portable identity, composable moderation, and... perhaps a pony 😂

The government revoked Tufts doctoral student Rumeysa Ozturk's visa due to her pro-Palestinian activism, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who added the State Department may have revoked more than 300 student visas since the beginning of the second Trump administration.

"It might be more than 300 at this point. We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visa," Rubio said during a press conference in Guyana on Thursday.
