The people who told you that "suppressing" the Hunter Biden laptop story was a national scandal are the same people who want to bury the House Ethics Committee's report about Matt Gaetz's raping and sex trafficking.

What To Use Instead of PGP

It's been more than five years since The PGP Problem was published, and I still hear from people who believe that using PGP (whether GnuPG or another OpenPGP implementation) is a thing they should be doing. It isn't. The part of the free and open source software community that thinks PGP is just dandy are the same kind of people that happily use…

important context for the whole "The Onion bought InfoWars" thing. unlimited respect to the Sandy Hook families
post by Prokopetz on tumblr, 1819 UK time, 2024-11-14: While the Onion buying InfoWars is indeed extremely funny, very few of the posts I've seen commenting on the sale have mentioned that the families of the Sandy Hook victims apparently agreed to voluntarily reduce their lawsuit payout as part of a deal to ensure that the Onion would acquire InfoWars wholesale, rather than having the company broken up and auctioned off piecemeal, as the latter course could potentially have allowed some of those pieces to end up back in the hands of Alex Jones' cronies. Like, yes, it is in fact very funny that InfoWars is now a wholly own subsidiary of Clickhole, but the real props go out to the Sandy Hook families who saw the opportunity and willingly gave up the additional millions of dollars that could have been realised by stripping InfoWars for parts in order to make that happen. reblog addition by xeansicemane: The families have been saying the whole time it isn't about the money - it was about stopping Jones. And this is the most effective way to stop Jones.

Been out for a walk first time by myself. It was nerve wracking but I was determined to grasp the nettle. Was so glad to have met a lady on crutches who had broken her ankle she was flying along what are the chances?! We chatted exchanged ankle break stories she gave me some good tips and she had built up to walking three times a day with longer walks she is just brilliant. I went “around the block” not too far and sat on a bench to take in the Autumn night air.

Data colonialism: A Microsoft AI Data Center Saps Water From A Small Mexican Town

After decades fighting against water bottling and beer companies, rural communities in Mexico are now also having to compete against Big Tech for water.

Development in the Global North has long come at the expense of the Global South as well as Black and indigenous frontline communities in places like Cancer Alley and Flint, Michigan.

@JonathanMosen@caneandable.socialI hope it proceeds smoothly. In my case (moving from Australia to the US to take up a nonprofit research job offer), there was a professional relocation consultant on the US side who assisted with many logistical issues - not a privilege for me specifically, but standard practice by my US-based employer at the time. This support helped immeasurably.

Clearing out my ancient phone, I also came across Round Bird once again. Here it is, being very round. I used to draw birds all the time! Ink on mixed media sketchbook.

#TraditionalArt #Ink

A rather orb-like bird sketched in black, grey and white onto a vibrantly earth tones background, like autumn leaves in red, purplish red, orange, yellow and brown. There are, however, willow catkins on the branches the bird is sat upon. Everything is drawn out in fairly precise black outline, with variations in the line weight, and then coloured in with dreamlike, hazy, flowing together wet ink that bleeds from one colour to the next. Crisp highlights have been added in white ink. The painting is quite cute and pleasantly simple. On the left bottom corner there is the number 298, denoting it's almost the 300th in a series, the date 17th of April 2019, and the signature Sini Tuulia in cursive, all in white ink on a calligraphy nib. The page is still on the spiral bound sketchbook, which is on the same desk as Sini always has her in her photos.

Friendly reminder that if you're designing any kind of personal information form and you decide to:

1. Validate names for "bad words"
2. Put a minimum characters limit on names
3. Have two separate fields for "first" and "last" name

Then you're doing it wrong with a shitload of very western-minded assumptions that are not universal and will cause issues

Krádeže v obchodoch stále pribúdajú, potvrdzujú to niektorí obchodníci. Viac než finančné straty ich však trápia obavy o zamestnancov, zlodeji sú totiž čoraz agresívnejší. Podľa niektorých občas badať náznaky nezáujmu u policajtov.

Niekoho to zrejme aj napadlo, ale zamer bol dostat "seba a par kamosov" co najrychlejsie mimo riziko stihania a teda reci typu "to je komplikovame" sli stranou.

Tr. z. je komplexna vec, sucast este vacsej komlexnej veci: spolunazivanie.

Tu komplexitu evidentne zohladnili, lebo ak znizovali sadzby a limity za velke lupy, tak znizili aj za male. Lebo suvisi a prilis by bilo do oci ak by male neposunuli. 1/2

2/2 Ale kedze, ako som uz pisal, pointa je "seba a par kamosov" + "rychlo", tak evidetne neostal cas riesit to komplexnejsie a kvalitnejsie. Ergo napr. dnesny paradox, ze napr. ukradnem 699€ a pokuta je max cca 300€. Alebo ze iny trest dostanem za ukradnutych 100k€ ak su od "unie" a iny ak su "nase" (slovenske).
