i guess that position makes all amendments null and void then? including the 2nd to the US constitution?

ohwhatfollyisman ,

i don't understand why one would even broadcast such a find. just keep the cash and keep mum.

well, he is better known as a striker than a right-winger. why the surprise?

ohwhatfollyisman ,

what even is the point of this billboard? it would only serve to further entrench trumpists within their foxholes of delusion and wouldn't do anything to sway those who won't vote for him anyway.

it's not like the US has a horde of fence-sitters who haven't yet decided where to cast their ballot.

ohwhatfollyisman ,

i guess people tended to not take it seriously after all the laughing it caused?

ohwhatfollyisman ,

i don't think amazon understands how hydration works.

ohwhatfollyisman ,

boy, those voice transmissions back to base informing of these leaks would be worth listening to.

I'm a mirror. if you're nice to me, I'm nice to you. if not, well...

ohwhatfollyisman ,

yeah, it looks like there's just bed room.

why is the customer made the butt of the joke here?

the last panel should have shown the whales surrounding the last four humans--two tourists and two sherpas--on the top of mount everest.

big oilwhale conspiracy

fun fact, killer whales are not whales, in fact. it's a translation artefact. the original spanish term was "whale killers".

orcas are actually a type of dolphin who were observed to be very good at killing whales.

don't worry about it. with the enshittification of win 11, that gap will close faster than copilot will record your activities.

i am ashamed to say that i have driven when drunk. this was over a decade ago and i don't remember the 13km trip taken late at night.

i am thankful that the car was found intact on inspection the next morning and i hadn't hit anybody.

but that was the last time i drove drunk. i was a prize idiot to do so--as is anyone else who does so.

ohwhatfollyisman ,

as much as one hates whatsapp, the headline is not the most accurate. the article states that it's not specifically a vulnerability in whatsapp itself that exposes a correlation between a sender if a message and probable recipients.

this is a flaw that can be used regardless of your choice of messaging platform. but, yeah, even if whatsapp itaelf didnt drop the ball in this particular instance, still don't use it.

ohwhatfollyisman ,

au!

ohwhatfollyisman ,

who would have thought that her chosen character for a self-insert was Dolores Umbridge!

ohwhatfollyisman ,

... if I had to see a discretely parked boat...

fyi: discreetly parked.

all boats are discretely parked otherwise.

ohwhatfollyisman ,

"the current leader needs to stop fascist activities by behaving exactly like a fascist!"

ohwhatfollyisman ,

and who determines the "sometimes" when it is "justified"? does that happen only when it is done against the guy you don't like?

ohwhatfollyisman ,

it happens when the guy I don't like does crimes.

you do realise that's the exact idea used by every fascist from Mao to Mussolini to Modi, right?

who determines that actions taken are crimes? should there not be due process that measures them against the law before such a distinction--such a judgement, one may say--is made?

or should anyone be able to point a finger willy-nilly at anyone else claiming them to be a criminal and to start doling out the lynchrope?

ohwhatfollyisman ,

are you sure that isn't just a case of your phone dissing you?

ohwhatfollyisman ,

did nobody involved in this project see the irony of calling it a carbon capture plant?

ohwhatfollyisman ,

memos are the logical upgrade from emails where you want to make sure everyone receives it

uh, email is memos? email is so memos that ibm's proprietary email management solution Lotus Notes calls the transaction "create memo" where outlook calls it "new message".

and the topic is not up for further discussion.

bit rude, imo.

ohwhatfollyisman ,

and when that day finally comes, will they call it Satoday?

Revealed: a California city is training AI to spot homeless encampments ( www.theguardian.com )

Last July, San Jose issued an open invitation to technology companies to mount cameras on a municipal vehicle that began periodically driving through the city’s district 10 in December, collecting footage of the streets and public spaces. The images are fed into computer vision software and used to train the companies’...

ohwhatfollyisman ,

quite ironically in this context, san jose is named after st. joseph -- he of the legal dad of jesus fame -- who was once famously told there was no room at the inn and had to make do in a stable.

Senior doctors in South Korea submit resignations, deepening dispute over medical school plan ( apnews.com )

Senior doctors at major hospitals in South Korea began submitting their resignations en masse Monday in support of medical interns and residents who have been on a strike for five weeks over the government’s push to sharply increase medical school admissions....

ohwhatfollyisman ,

Tell me what sort of quality education you would get if your university class had increased by 2/3rd in size?

this is a valid point, but it's not a point i see junior doctors striking for. it's not like the quality of education that a country offers after they've graduated would weigh so heavily on their minds.

occam's razor applies here. they are worried that there will suddenly be an influx of new doctors that will reduce their own earning capacity.

your point on expanding facilities first won't help end the strike since it doesn't address the core problem. the government should simply look to sneakily boil the frog here (and this is only because being the last in a list of doctor:patient ratio is never a good thing).

ohwhatfollyisman ,

i put this question to my cat while parading naked in front of it.

i got no response other than a look of utter disdain.

ohwhatfollyisman OP ,

you're correct, it's what the adguard app gets up to in the background.

the two vpns are not concurrently active.

ohwhatfollyisman OP ,

it's an upload limitation here, i think?

ohwhatfollyisman OP ,

it's DDG that's active, and which has filtered out these tracking requests sent by the adguard vpn android app (with its own vpn inactive) in the background.

ohwhatfollyisman OP ,

you are correct. activating one switches off the other. but the adguard vpn app still runs in the background even with its own vpn deactivated -- and that's when these requests were caughtin DDG's net.

ohwhatfollyisman OP ,

would you have done this with the ad guard vpn deactivated but the app still running in the background?

I've been using the app for a few montha now and it's only today that it got flagged in the DDG report. it's not shown up before.

ohwhatfollyisman OP ,

i dont know why it'sa at such a low resolution here. it's fine on my phone.

here, ill try uploading a fresh non-stretched single-screen screenshot to see if the size was the issue.

(i don't know how it will turn out myself until after i post it.)

ohwhatfollyisman OP ,

wow. this is good detail, indeed!

so is this an app one should avoid using, then?

ohwhatfollyisman OP ,

thanks for the feedback. i would be happy to hear what I'm presuming incorrectly here. always willing to learn and gain an understanding of how things do work.

ohwhatfollyisman OP ,

i can see where you're going with this but, no, these are not sites that i've visited. for example, my country has its own amazon domain and verizon does not operate where i live.

nope, this is all the adguard vpn android app on its own.

ohwhatfollyisman OP ,

i get what you're saying, but the vpn was inactive when the app sent these requests. DDG was active at the time and using the VPN slot.

so it isn't the vpn functionality, per se, of the app that's doing anything here.

ohwhatfollyisman OP ,

ohwhatfollyisman OP ,

yes, that's my question too.

ohwhatfollyisman OP ,

the vpn wasn't connected at the time these requests were sent. that's how DDG captures these requests, by using the vpn slot itself. these requasts were sent by the adguard app in the background when it was deactivated.

the data sent to third-party ttrackers had nothing to do with the vpn functionality or of other apps funneling their data through it.

this observation has also been corroborated by another user using other means elsewhere in the comments. do give it a dekko, too.

ohwhatfollyisman OP ,

this is a possibility. one that i haven't accounted for.

but is there any literature that verifies this? the closest I've found in context is this page, and I'm not able to resolve what you're saying with whats on there: https://adguard.com/kb/general/ad-filtering/filter-policy/

i don't have enough info yet to update the post with this conjecture.

ohwhatfollyisman OP ,

all good info. and all agreed. but the issue in this post isn't the vpn functionality.

it's what the adguard android app does in the background when the vpn, itself, is disconnected. that's when these rogue requests were sent.

ohwhatfollyisman ,

im so glad that we aren't the only species that do hoverhands.

ohwhatfollyisman ,

ah, family guy and stewie.
