2016 Assange was a very different person than who he was in 2009. The espionage charges relating to the Chelsea Manning leaks were always bogus, but his involvement with the Trump campaign solidified him as a huge asshole in my mind.

Even back then, WikiLeaks was telling trump to claim the election was rigged and stolen. These are not the actions of a whistleblower, and it's clear he was not a whistleblower (or working with whistleblowers) during this period and likely a mouthpiece for Russia to sow division in the US.

This is great and all, but what I really need is an alternative picture of shel silverstein to put on the back of the book.

“I don’t want anybody going on me. We need every voter. I don’t care about you. I just want your vote,”

This was one of the three Trump quotes they have in the article. He added he was just joking but pretty sure he was serious.

It has its downsides as well

Leaving a bar to catch a train and I did this when closing my tab. Ended up in a conversation and missing my train.

I misread the title as 2,019 trips were paid by Harlan Crow, and honestly wasn't surprised that the amount of corruption was that high.

Those luxury RVs don't pay for themselves. You expect Clarence Thomas to take away our basic human rights and subvert democracy in a regular RV?

There will never be anything funnier than Four Seasons Total Landscaping. If I was a comedy TV writer, I would have quit that day because there'd never be a way I could top the hilarious absurdity of that press conference.

bamboo ,

I absolutely love all of the Almost Friday TV shorts!!

Farming is also so good

bamboo ,

Clear whataboutism. Trump is a convicted felon and it's pertinent for biden to speak about how unprecedented Trump's conviction is while on the campaign trail for 2024. Whether you meant it or not, comparing a quote from Biden about the ICC decision to the years of Trump's statements attacking and delegitimizing the elections/judicial system in the US is disingenuous. There is a real possibility that the RNC will nominate Trump for president while he is in jail, which is insane.

bamboo ,

How has it taken us 2024 years to realize this??

It'd be great if there were some handing of YT video ids in Lemmy, which would be independent of the provider domain. So like in Lemmy you could link to a YT video by the id (not URL), and then based on the user settings, that would open up in Piped or Youtube based on preference. I guess this could be done client side, and rewrite youtube links, but then for people who prefer Youtube and get a piped link, you'd need to know to rewrite that link. Anyway, that's the society I'd like to live in.

bamboo ,

Don't forget about that picture of Trump playing tennis. Actually, wait, don't picture that.

bamboo ,

OK im fine with heterosexual cis people I just don't like the community around it and stop focusing kids to think there straight your cis when there not let them figure it out later in life not when there 8

FTA:

People mocked her on social media for turning to homophobic insults because she couldn’t win the actual argument. Other people pointed out that Boebert isn’t even attending her own son’s court hearings – while making time to attend Donald Trump’s trial in New York – so maybe she shouldn’t be mocking other people’s parenting.

She's just a horrible human being all the way down

This is why they added non removable batteries in the Gameboy Advance SP and ever since.

They bought a company named Keyhole in the early 2000s

Wasn't Casino Royale the first novel to be published? It might have just been that he was new to writing, and not thinking about movie rights.

bamboo ,

How did anyone think this was a good idea.

what a roller coaster ride of a video

bamboo ,

Ever since he was divorced of his luggage that one time, he's devoted his whole life to never letting that happen again.

bamboo ,

The fact none of the shots of video and images don't line up the perspective properly with the chimney is infuriating. Is there a KillTheCameraman community to post this to?

bamboo ,

I thought the same thing, at most as old as the 1700s, but then realized I was thinking of emus, the flightless bird.

It's a device to make phone calls, but that's not important right now.

This is not normal. If you weren't already divorcing him, this would be a good reason to do so.

403 via archive.org ? ( lemmy.ml )

Trying to access this https://web.archive.org/web/https://www.dataguidance.com/news/czechia-%C3%BAoo%C3%BA-fines-avast-czk-351m-gdpr-violations got a 403. Never had that before with the WayBackMachine. Then I tried to load it directly and got a "You are blocked!". Does the WBM not really make a full copy ? Not very Tor friendly...

bamboo ,

Loads for me. There is probably a WAF and the request looks suspicious (maybe related to using Tor) and it's being blocked?

bamboo ,

No need to guess, it's all outlined in the bill:

  1. ByteDance has 270 days (+90 days at president discretion) to divest of TikTok and sell to an entity not affiliated with an "adversary country" (China, Iran, Russia, N. Korea).
  2. If they don't sell, hosting providers of TikTok application (servers, storage, app store, etc) will be fined up to $500 times the number of users in the US if they continue to host the application
  3. ISPs are explicitly excluded from the bill, and not considered data brokers, which is what the restrictions apply to.

So basically, the law will not require ISPs to block access to TikTok domains and IP addresses. Google search results are also explicitly excluded from the term data broker, and exempt from the restrictions. The only requirement is for app stores to stop hosting the application, so existing installations of the app (after January 2025 assuming ByteDance doesn't sell) will presumably persist and can be used, even if TikTok is banned.

Would you teach your kids how to pirate?

My gf and I have had discussions about teaching morals to kids. In that vein, I asked myself, would I teach piracy to my kids? Yes, it’s technically illegal and carries inherent risks. But so does teenage sex carry the risks of teenage pregnancy, and so we have an obligation to children to teach them how to practice safe sex....

Windows is banned in my household, so l'm not worried about malware.

This is a false sense of security and just because you're not running Windows doesn't mean you're immune to everything and can let your defenses down. For example, KDE recently had to announce that downloading themes will execute arbitrary code and cited someone who had personal information deleted because of downloading a theme.

bamboo ,

Exactly, like how an ocean liner is a step up above a sailboat. That doesn't mean you're unsinkable and don't need to worry about icebergs.

I do the same thing, and one morning, I woke before my alarm and left my phone in the bedroom to take a shower. Learned that day that my wife doesn't know PEMDAS.

Quick video demonstrating that lemmy.world sends every activity out twice ( i.imgur.com )

I realise this is a known issue and that lemmy.world isn't the only instance that does this. Also, I'm aware that there are other things affecting federation. But I'm seeing some things not federate, and can't help thinking that things would be going smoother if all the output from the biggest lemmy instance wasn't 50% spam....

bamboo ,

Are you able to include the HTTP Method being called and the amount of data transferred per request? It's possible that the first request is an OPTION request and then the second request is a POST.

If you can see the amount of data transferred, then you can have some more indication that double the requests are being sent and quantity the bandwidth impact at least.

Not everybody knows how to do everything!

Oh, so buy, buy lower, buy higher? That's the strategy? I guess someone's gotta be on the bottom of the pyramid.

Having moved onto a team in my company with Cognizant contractors, I can kinda understand Google not renewing the contract. In my experience, half of the PRs needed to be redone because of poor quality.

bamboo ,

The scene with the tractor beam was pretty great though.
