Great crime behind every great fortune, only question is whether they did the crime themselves or their parents did.

Their choice isn’t an informed one though since they know nothing about the outside world other than outdated knowledge of a few of the horrors of the 1800s like diseases and british people.
They are incidentally making the right choice now but even once FALGSC is implemented and terf island is returned to the sea they will still be isolating based on the same information.
yeah this one’s on me, sorry everyone. I posted a picture of winnie the pooh bear so Xi posted this picture on the great firewall captioned “do not let in this bear!!1!!”
he’s fired
best guess is the vpn endpoint is blacklisted by google.com with the requests being ignored instead of serving you with a 403 as some sites might. The other geographic google tlds I assume are operating separate blacklists.
here I am feeling guilty sometimes making a comment halfway through a 200 comment thread before scrolling on to find someone else already made the same joke while this mf making smug comments when they’ve not even read half the headline.
War is unpredictable. Ukraine is outmatched but defenders advantage goes a long way. Total defeat of Ukraine’s military in the field wouldn’t be achievable in 72 hours but it was still possible for a surrender to have occurred in that timespan if the chips landed the right way. While they definitely do exaggerate their predictions for several strategic reasons (budgetary, propaganda, cointel) the element of simply preparing for the worst case scenario is probably still the primary reason and no analyst gets gets their name dragged in the mud for having urged too much caution.
Why would it? the whole country is taking the leave the window down because the car is too shit to steal approach to security.
Voter registration is public information and sufficient for cold callers.
If you live independently you will inevitably have to make privacy sacrifices for the sake of expediency. Having a bank account is probably going to be one of them. There are many essential services that you use but probably do not think of as an eighteen year old that may share information when you provide for yourself such as your phone carrier, ISP, utilities such as power, water, gas etc, insurance, health services, education or certification providers, employment or recruitment agencies, the list just goes on and you will have to thoroughly evaluate every company you interact with and in many cases there will simply be no realistic privacy respecting option.
Keep fighting to protect your privacy but don’t put an impossible burden on yourself to be perfect. You will make mistakes, you will make compromises, you will probably get spam. Welcome to late stage capitalism.
They probably tried but their tanks weren’t reliable enough to make it in
These videos are so popular that the IOF has been making their own copies where they are killing windows and chairs
reactionaries and swinging at chairs, name a more iconic duo
Barter is not one of humanities oldest endeavors as there is no evidence of any society having a barter system prior to using currency. Barter systems have always emerged as stopgaps in decaying currency based economic systems.
Argentina will not be reverting to some prehistoric state but instead is in an accelerating state of collapse likely to coalesce into some kind of fascist ranch-state.
They don’t want pirates removing the slot machine monetization from their game for children.
Android is built on linux yet it is increasingly locked down and many phones are extremely difficult to get root access on.
So Valve could have followed the phone ecosystem path and pushed as much of the feature set as proprietary code as possible (binary blob drivers, proton proprietary instead of bsd), replaced pacman with a valve controlled package manager & repos, setup selinux to give users no power to do anything and made the deck only able to secure boot steamOS signed by Valve. Technical users may be able to jail break such a device but the majority would not be inclined to.
Valve’s wisdom here is in realizing that the majority are going to buy their games anyway but if you don’t lock the device down then most of the technical users will also buy most of their games whereas if you have to go out of your way to jail break a device to install something fun then that device basically becomes a piracy only device from that point on.
Linus Torvalds. He’s making a list.
“a true caliphate has never been tried”
the existence of this type of guy implies the existence of his natural rival; the support actual-existing-caliphates guy.
can’t hurt if you can but the caveats are that everything out of Palestine goes through Israel and consumer activism only matters when it’s organized
Here is a really interesting video on lightbulbs which goes into how the light bulb cartel standard was more of a min-maxing of lifespan vs energy cost vs brightness than it was planned obsolescence.
Threads exists for the sole purpose of capturing some of the people showing interest in the fediverse as twitter dies and keeping them in the facebook ecosystem. Once it believes it has exhausted this window of opportunity it will defederate just as it de-federated it’s xmmp based messenger service once it thought it had the upperhand.
Every server that defederates from meta preemptively is working to build a resilient community that will survive this inevitable scenario. Every server that federates with meta will become dependent on it then collapse as their users leave to join threads once that becomes their only option to continue interacting with the threads users that their social experience was built on.
Your post only concerns threats to an individual user re scraping or malicious interactions. The threat meta poses to the fediverse is systemic. In the long run the meta-blocking servers are the fediverse. The meta-federating servers might see some short term attention but in the long run will have the same fate as those that hitched their wagons to the metaverse.
