Early on after the Revolutionary War concluded, there were several rebellions quelled by the new government, Shay’a rebellion, the Whiskey rebellion, and several slave rebellions to name a few. All were quelled. The last “real” rebellion, you might argue, was the Americanbcivik war, and that played out like the others. Not that any of these occurred under color of the second amendment, as such, but certainly these are cases where people took up arms to redress grievances and it didn’t so much work out.
So no, I shouldn’t think people asserting their 2A rights to redress grievances with the government is a viable path. And really, the 2 amendment isn’t intended to keep Tue government in check or prevent overreach. It was written in an era where the standing army was comprised largely of state militias and irregular volunteers. It wasn’t necessarily intended or written to keep itself in check. That’s a later phenomenon and, if history serves, a fantasy
I always used old.reddit.com with RES on my desktop. I’ve started using old.lemmy.world now, and I love the familiarity, but I realize how much I miss RES. I wish there was something for the old.lemmy.world that offered the same enhancements.
As a former user of old.reddit.com and RES, I’ve found the Alexandrite front end (a.Lemmy.world) to be very comfortable. Its not feature-for-feature equivalent to RES, but a lot of the ergonomics are there.

This is admittedly not the answer you’re looking for, but the Bose QC35 only needs the app to program the assist button on the left pad, specifically to toggle it between activating the voice assistant, or to toggle noose cancelling mode.
You could probably even program the button on some other device, and then either pair it to your phone or use it in analog mode.
Kind of annoying, I know. The app is riddled with trackers but you could leave it disabled for when you need it, and only enable it when the phone is in airplane mode.
I’m only shilling for Bose because I have a pair and I think they’re great headphones, but I don’t much care for their app.
If the 7T is constructed anything like the 5T then replacing the USB port is an inexpensive and relatively easy weekend project. You just undo a couple of T5 screws, pop off the back, undo a couple more screws and replace the assembly. The hard part is not losing the screws.

With the simultaneous rollout of restrictions on account sharing and price increases/addition of advertising, I’m cutting back severely on streaming services....
Account sharing is theft. Sorry, but you agreed to a ToS rider and they’re clear about that. “B-b-but it’s my mom’s who lives in another state” isn’t a valid objection. The services have real costs for licensing they need to protect.
Now, before you down vote I agree with pretty much the rest. Introducing ads into paid tiers is utter bullshit, and capping quality for paid subscribers amounts to theft the other way. I’m paying for a product and I agreed to Terms.
We just carry Hulu here. We don’t use the free Netflix we get though perks programs because They Suck, and I am canceling Huiu upon seeing the first ad I’m forced to sit through. We also have free AppleTV, bit haven’t activated because its Apple and we are an Android household.
Does any of this contribute to the discussion? No, probably not but I feel better for having ranted about it. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
I’m not your down vote, but fuck Plex. Resource-intensive code to start, and also fuck their pushy cloud-first posture. I dropped them like a hot potato when they obfuscated requiring a cloud account to watch streaming locally. Shady stuff, especially when you’re self-hosting.
Jellyfin is WAY less intrusive. It just works for local streaming, and for discreet sharing among trusted affiliates. Maybe not as pooshed or feature complete as Plex, bit it’s far less obnoxious on my resources, and my affiliates

Hey, look. For the most part Gen X tried to be benefactors of future generations, but we lacked the demographic to make any impacts.
Watch Stranger Things. Do you feel the helplessness of the protagonists? That was us. Nobody listening. Nobody taking us seriously.
This is Gen Z’s world now. As you come of age, Z, we anticipate your righteousness and your worldview. You have the demographics gp make change, at long last. Make it stick.
