• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Donald Trump's sentencing was postponed to after the election to avoid any assistance of election interference. Can he be sentenced while he is President Elect?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, they’re asking about the case that did go through where he was found guilty of 34 felony convictions. The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump

  He was supposed to be sentenced in September. Trump’s defense asked to delay. Prosecution didn’t object. Judge didn’t want to stick his neck on the line and accepted the delay.

  I have no idea what will happen now but probably nothing meaningful anymore. It should have happened in September. I don’t know why the prosecution didn’t fight the delay, but understand why the judge did what he did.

  But yeah, I completely agree with your sentiment. The momentum into nailing Trump down on crimes happened way, way, *way *too slow.

  I guess?

  I’m all for voting reform, promoting easy access to voting for everyone, breaking the grip of the 2 party system, and dismantling junk like the electoral college.

  But we’re a little more than 2 months from a major election. It’s unlikely that these ideas are going to be picked up and championed as campaign promise. So it makes me wonder why they’re being parroted now. I suspect it’s to highlight that our system isn’t always great and discourage people from voting.

  They’re not saying “my vote doesn’t matter”, but that’s kind of the vibe it gives off, while suggesting an unrealistic, idealistic solution. 🤷‍♂️

  It’s clearly not a hoax.

  You want to put Trump back in…? Did you forget how he ran things 2016-2020, plus Jan 6th, a literal (but horribly executed) coup attempt.

  Given the rulings from the recent rulings from the Supreme Court, Trump will be emboldened to do whatever he wants “with immunity”. I just can’t wrap my head around how anyone thinks this is a good idea.

  The interface on the Miyoo Mini (with OnionOS) is a lot smoother and more streamlined than anything with Android. I definitely like how easily you can switch between all your recently played games so quickly, regardless of system.

  Android devices tend to be a bit more flexible/powerful with more emulator options, but the interface isn’t as complete and more tweaking is needed. It’s not perfect, but I’m enjoying Diajisho.

  It seems pretty common to use a different Google account on your device than your main one. I only use it to access the Play store, then I disable all Google services until I need it again.

  But there’s really no right or wrong approach here, as long as you’re playing games and enjoying it.

  Retroid makes some good stuff too.

  I have a bunch of devices. Steam Deck, Miyoo Mini, Retroid Pocket 3+, Analogue Pocket, modded 3DS, and various modded Gameboys.

  For most retro games, I find myself reaching for the RP3+ the most. Don’t get me wrong, all the other devices are great too, but it’s a great size and works without fuss up through PSP.

  And for value/$, it’s hard to go wrong with any of the trending emulation devices, be it from Anbernic, Miyoo, or Retroid.
