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.

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.

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.

Lossless JPEG would be amazing.

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.

Maybe I misunderstood what she said, but my take is that they each got a day to themselves; one-on-one. The rest of the time was for everybody like a normal day.

Fun fact: he named all five of his sons George Edward Foreman.

I tell people, 'If you’re going to get hit as many times as I’ve been hit by Mohammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Evander Holyfield, you’re not going to remember many names.’

🤣

RIP man. You’ve earned it.

Edit: one more quote ❤️

“He has 10 kids, but growing up he made sure that we all had our special time,” Georgetta told CBN of her dad. "There was even a time when we all had our own days. There was a Georgetta day, or George the second day, or whatever. And he took that time out to make sure that that day you had whatever you wanted to eat, whatever you wanted to do and he took out time to get to know who we were and who we are now.”

Damn, that is awesome!

I shouldn’t be surprised there is an act allowing Big Brother to surreptitiously request data on reporters. Dubs and Dick really stuck it to us over with the Patriot Act and everything that followed.

I don’t see why this doesn’t constitute a constitutional crisis. This is exactly why there is a first amendment.

Psh. Next you’ll want me to believe the earth is round. Like, come on, bro. Get your head out of the sand before it’s too late. /s

Self later explained himself in a post on X, formerly Twitter, saying that “It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female.”

Correct me if I’m wrong but Ms. McBride is a female; not an Attack Helicopter.

Conversely, you can add -site:Reddit.com and exclude Reddit results altogether.

Something something stiff as a board (the sock, not the cock).

Try search for a video and finding a non-YouTube result. Yeah, Pinterest and YouTube suck, but so do our search engines.

Here is the URL that is provided in the docs.

You could say the same about laws, considering how no one is enforcing them against the current administration.
