I, too get blocked by certain sites. I think it’s a configuration thing, where it does not like my combination of uBlock/NoScript, even when I explicitly allow their scripts…

Betty White. An international treasure!

Von der Layen is of the German krypto-fascist variety. Those who would have seven children while alluding to 14 words, while helping former and current Nazis gain power, while insisting these are just very conservative patriots like themselves.

So claims she fucked up unintentionally or by sheer incompetence I view with suspicion.

Systemic is a rather large verb usually describing something all encompassing. Last time I checked, TokTok, Telegram, YouTube et al were single applications on cellphones one could choose to enable/ disable.

These are self inflicted wounds.

I get where you are coming from and agree that attention-economy algorithms have a negative outcome on a societal level. Still these are self inflicted wounds. Men aren’t children. And its not only young men, or stupid men, I personally had to cut ties with retirement aged men who had worked their entire careers in academia and still fell for this shit.

The divorced Dad to Fascism Pipeline is real, but it is on a platform that you have to expose yourself to.

Sidenote: moving goalposts by changing the meaning of young men to unsupervised and undereducated teenagers is unhelpful.

It is usually bad advice too, so they will get dragged deeper into Nazi territory.

Lonely men develop more extremist views

Ah yes, the lonely man® with the agency of a fucking houseplant.

Flasback to 2024: Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman will back Trump “Our [edit: Bidens] economic, immigration and foreign policies are taking the country in the wrong direction,”

a coordinated, State-funded program began in earnest in the latter half of the 1990s. Today, with drought a pending, if not ever-present, threat to the economy and well-being of Texans, rain enhancement projects flourish within large areas of Northwest, West, and South Texas. In fact, the seven cloud seeding projects today cover about 31 million acres

… I don’t understand what your angle is? This is a genuinely useful list.

For example: there seem to be types of revolution.

Type 1: (the one I mentioned) where leadership goes “well we tried slaughter, they still coming, we should give up” Type 2: “we will not slaughter people, we’d rather give up” (eg the Mongolian revolution) Type 3: “they have the combined forces of police and military behind them, we better give up” (the lybian coup that brought Gaddafi to power, for example.)

I was looking at the list by era. First one, 1918, Egyptian Revolution.

The revolution was successfully countered by British forces… Victims 800-1600.

That was very insightful! Thanks, I did not know this list existed. May need it for future reference.

To anyone as confused as I was: This is an alteration of an image of senator Josh where he supports the treasonous mob on Jan. 6th, 2021

I personally think the unaltered image should be powerful enough.

That looks like he is practicing some comedy skit.

Wouldn’t something like a T1000 (50w/8GB) be okay? I know I use a much older matrox card (30w?/ w/ even lower TDP) for this purpose. It’s not great, but it transcodes in hardware.

Yeah. Thats what the extensions to TR-069 like TR-369 / 181r2 etc. are there for. Total router control.

I mean some ISP just give full control to law enforcement via REST interface. So not even a shadowy Insider needed.

Re WiFi home security: don’t do it. All the burglars have full spectrum wifi/cellphne jamming devices bc they are like 175 bucks on ali express (last time I checked four yrs ago). I expect them to have gotten a lot cheaper.

Never heard about the “burning out WiFi” attack, but it makes sense. WiFi chips in modern routers are so warm, adding extra cycles might kill them.

Well, when Cheney of all people walked on stage and the democrats welcomed him, that was political suicide too. Unfortunately democrat big corporate donors see nothing wrong with turning the ratchet to the right, so democrats like her will be the new normal I suppose.

Just in case u didn’t know: Ricing is a racist term.

It’s been a long time, but isn’t this the default for the Graphical Formula Editor in Microsoft Word? (As in you could just use the * operator and word would print it as-is, not replace it with the multiplication sign)

4090s are what price now? Didn’t keep track, I’m astonished. never thought I’d see the day when Apples RAM pricing is seen as competitive.

Just FYI: The “Mac Studio” when equipped with 32-core M3Ultra processors can have up to 512GB of RAM.

It costs like 15k after taxes, so not exactly the scope of this thread, but it exists.

having not heard about any of this, to everyone OOTL as me, have an article.

Two things stood out:

• he was not in Madison square garden, but some other property the company has control over.
• last year a judge dismissed a lawsuit that claimed such bans violate the law (privacy law in this case, PDF link from article)
