Digg did commit suicide. I was there for it.

It’ll only defeat X if corporations and specifically media and sports entities start using it.

Fake tits = medically necessary

Vision restoration = cosmetic

Eh, lofty words. Your best bet is to move. This isn’t like the old civil war times. Most people want this, apparently.

If you think there was a genuine argument to not vote for Harris over Gaza war crimes, you were amongst those successfully manipulated by Russia. That argument was entirely of America’s enemies’ making as a means to get Trump elected.

Let me clarify my statement: America is over. There is nothing worth getting hurt over. Most people here seem to want what is to come. I’m planning to cut my losses if it starts coming to fruition and move somewhere more progressive.

There’s nothing worth rioting for.

Put them on M365 or Google Workspace. Do not buy a server.

And I would argue that explaining why people dont like the usage of “this” is not more useful than people writing “this” because of the Streisand effect we’ve witnessed and that you and I have now created is even more detrimental to a thread because it creates a distraction from the original topic. We now have a subtopic competing for brain cycles that clearly adds no value and is likely making us all stupider.

I award us no points, and may God have mercy on our souls.

Writing “Writing just “this” adds nothing to the discussion” adds nothing to the discussion.

Homelessness in Japan is illegal, so people turn Internet cafe pods into “homes”.

What new level of hell is this?

The article described the hackers having access to what’s called Lawful Intercept capabilities. In the telecom equipment I’ve worked with, this takes the form of voice call tapping, full packet capture of data, or just a capture of connections made.

If they had unfettered access to this functionality, they could have spied on anyone at length. Government officials, C suite people at companies…anyone.

Importantly, you probably don’t know what all is encrypted in every app you use on your phone, so it’s best practice to encrypt the transport.

California is awesome.

No shit, had seen only one weird trailer for this movie before it came out.

Why isn’t this system air gapped from the internet?

Their values are aligned, theirs strategies are aligned, and so their efforts are aligned.

Ender’s Game was prescient text, regardless of Orson Scott Card’s personal beliefs.

Locke and Demosthenes are now armies of manipulative bots (but often real humans), shaping political discourse throughout the world. The Internet gave mind control powers to people with money, ambition, or both. We saw it with the Bernie Sanders and Trump movements in 2016 on Reddit, all too clearly for those who lived through an era where bullshit detection was a critical skill.

I was once fairly defeatist on this subject: the bad guys won, got Trump elected, and kicked off a new era of 80s conservatism that demonized progressive values like environmental conservation, freedom of choice in a number of matters, and equality.

But now, I’m starting to see young people stand up to their boomer relatives at Thanksgiving and bring facts and logic to social media discussions. And I have regained some hope that we will once again find a way to make the progressive “line go up“. Our society seems to swing like a pendulum between the right and left, over decades, and it feels like the Trump era was a swing too violent for most of us. It’s time to swing back.

Why do you need an adapter? I thought the Tesla superchargers had CCS adapters you could attach.
