St. Louis-area public libraries say they have never offered obscene material, but they are scrambling to tweak policies regarding a new rule from Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft.

> Bonner said that even if librarians and a library board confirm a book is appropriate, the Ashcroft rule might “give them a path to appeal to the Secretary of State’s office or use the language of the SoS rule to sue in court.”
> He said: “The rule is not about making libraries shelve materials in appropriate areas. Libraries already do that. They’ve been exceedingly conscientious about this issue since before I was born. No library I’ve ever worked at or used has what a reasonable person would call pornography in any kids’ area, or what the Supreme Court has determined would be ‘obscene.’ This rule corrects a problem that only exists in propaganda.
> “The rule is about forcing librarians to conform to the views of a subset of the community instead of trying to serve the whole community, by increasing the leverage of that subset and by making librarians fearful of angering that subset.”
> He also has told his board that “there is no way to be safe from challenge and still be a library,” referring to library goals to offer books with various viewpoints and to serve diverse patrons.

> Calverton Park’s ordinance ‘prohibits property owners from having an unlicensed and/or inoperable car on the property.’
> The city confirmed that since December 2020, there’s been a total of 350 violations and 81 vehicles towed away. If the vehicle is towed away, the city will also issue an abatement fee.
> Attorney Jeff Schwartz said Missouri law clearly states that a car can’t be towed from private property unless it’s a safety hazard, or at the request of the property owner. He said trying to argue an expired tag is also a safety hazard is a stretch.

> Attorney General Andrew Bailey’s attempt to increase the cost of an abortion-rights initiative petition was unprecedented and illegal, lawyers for the Missouri ACLU and state auditor’s office argued Wednesday in Cole County Court.
> ”No attorney general has ever attempted to exercise this level of discretion,” said Robert Tillman, deputy general counsel for Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick.
> Meanwhile, the attorney general’s office contends it was simply exercising its authority under state law when it refused to sign off on a fiscal note summary crafted by the auditor that said the abortion-rights initiative petition would have no cost to state or local government.

Brush up on your coding – more tech jobs are going to be hybrids that mix ops and software, or require AI skills
> System administrators and IT operations pros might want to rethink their careers, because analyst firm IDC is predicting substantial drops in the number of people employed in such roles.
> The firm this week published its first "Worldwide xOps Census and Forecast" – a study that predicts "a substantial shift in the responsibilities of IT professionals will occur over the next five years."

Windows titan blames technical problems while hacktivists claim it woz them wot did it
> While Microsoft has indicated these outages are a mess of its own making, hacktivist group Anonymous Sudan has claimed responsibility for the downtime, and said it did the deed as retaliation for the US government interfering with the internal affairs of the civil war-ravaged African nation.
> The potentially-pro-Russian crew stated its claim on its Telegram channel, with messages coinciding with the timing of the first outage. Afterward, the group reportedly said it would again attack Microsoft's services because the company said the problem was technical rather than a cyberattack.
Agreed on all points. Just to add, I also believe that not much else can happen on the political stage unless we implement a ranked choice or other alternative voting system, to allow 3rd parties some chance of gaining traction.
I'd like to see whatever everyone wants to post about, and would also encourage you to be the change you want to see. I'm more into the Microsoft space myself but manage a handful of Linux servers (which I typically never have to bother with unless I'm standing another one up, and our team manages patching), though I'm not sure where good sources of news & updates would be for Linux information.
I setup (took over and spruced up, to be precise) this community specifically because of the time I've spent over the years browsing and relying on reddit.com/r/sysadmin for sources of information on tips/tricks, security exploits & patches, outages, and yes even the ranting about how our jobs all suck. (I like mine, for what it's worth.)
Come on down, ask questions, post what the sysadmin community needs to know about, or head in to get either sympathy or chastisement about why you haven't left your job yet. 🤣
Want to be a mod? Let me know!
Sure, you don't have to tell me about the right wing media machine. Most people I knew growing up got sucked into it and are beyond any rational thought now.
For the difference between Dems and the GOP on economic policy, I won't argue that the leadership and majority of the Democratic party are neoconservative """centrists""" - in other words, they're conservative Democrats. There is a minority segment of the party that is progressive however, and once in a while they do something that is truly beneficial for everyone. The same can never be said about the GOP.
I'm not saying that's wrong, but it's also more complex than that. It's not only the ultra rich supporting them. Take it from someone who lives amongst them.
Is there a massive corporate / monied influence behind the GOP? Sure, but that's true of the Democrats too. Given that that's our only options as long as we have a first-past-the-post, winner take all voting system (unless or until we institute ranked choice or some other alternative voting system), then the Democrats are the only one of those two parties that at least takes some actions and speaks words in support of the poor and middle classes. If you look at their actions, anyone who is not ultra rich should be voting for Democrats over Republicans unquestionably.
However, we have about 48% of our citizens in any given class that aren't the ultra rich who will vote Republican until their dying breath. In my state in particular, about 60% of the population votes Republican, despite being next to dirt poor.
We'll even vote for progressive policies - we legalized weed, voted for Medicare expansion, turned down """Right to Work""" laws multiple times, etc. - and then our own legislature that these assholes voted in will work to undo those measures that passed a popular vote however they can. They keep trying to reintroduce RtW laws every handful of years, they defunded the Medicare expansion. If they fail to stop the progressive policies, then they turn to profiting off of them through crony capitalism like they did with the cannabis industry by only giving out manufacturing and dispensary licenses to a small pool of people, and their cronies of course got first dibs.
So don't have any illusions - poor people vote Republican. In droves. It's due to ignorance, and bigotry, and racism, and a disregard for their own interest, but they do.
That doesn't entirely discount the theory being proposed in your OP article, but it doesn't explain Republican voting blocs everywhere. It just might explain Florida however.
I don't know, I think that trend analysis ignores the masses of ignorant poor people who think that Trump & the GOP are going to save them from whatever boogeyman the GOP has constructed for them today.
For me I think it has to do with the fact that by the time I got to a thread on reddit, everything that could possibly be said about the topic usually had been said already. How many times would you visit a thread only to find that exactly what you were going to say is already the top comment?
The US is an imperial warmonger and they created the conditions for a proxy war, which Russia engaged with.
So the U.S. made Putin's army roll its miles long line of cold-war era military equipment into Ukraine in November of '21?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine
It's hard to lie about things that the whole world was watching.
"Over" with Putin having gotten what he wants after killing millions of Ukrainians and still occupying their land. So no, fuck Putin and fuck anyone who supports his insane bloody quest for glory.

I figured that this would be as good as any for my first post on Lemmy - showing off the entire Discworld Collector's Library series that I managed to purchase from BookDepository.com before Amazon shut it down. Was able to pickup the whole series for around $500 USD. So glad I was able to get these and never figured I would own the complete set of these nice hardback editions.
