Bingo: Trump Admits Intent to “Induce Lending” With Financial Statements (newrepublic.com)

Donald Trump got caught red-handed during his $250 million New York bank fraud trial on Monday when lawyers for the New York attorney general’s office revealed Trump had long ago signed financial documents with the clear intent that they would be used to curry favor with banks....

Happenchance,

This current trial is being determined by the judge. There is no jury.

Happenchance,

I dunno, I was just correcting the above.

Happenchance,

This is just trickle down economics. It doesn’t work.

Happenchance,

Over explaining your analogy does not make it more correct.

Happenchance,

I don’t think I’ve had one in twenty years and I just got the taste in my mouth reading your comment.

Thanks.

Happenchance,

This is the first I’m hearing about models trained on real CSAM.

Happenchance,

These are from thermal optics.

Happenchance,

So what they are saying is that it’s perfectly fine to address every man as “her, she” incorrectly, every time. Perfect.

Happenchance,

“They really went out on a limb.”

Happenchance,

A broad funnel ending in jail.

Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish (infosec.pub)

Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....

Happenchance,

Yes. In the same way that “Master” and “Slave” have been replaced for racist engineering terminology, “Whitelist” and “Blacklist” are replaced with “Allowlist” and “Blocklist”.

Happenchance,

From Wikipedia:

Various replacement terms for ‘master’ or ‘slave’ have been proposed and implemented. In 2020, GitHub replaced the default ‘master’ git branch with ‘main’.[18] Other replacement names include ‘default’, ‘primary’, ‘controller’, ‘root’, ‘initiator’, ‘leader’, ‘director’, ‘manager’; and for ‘slave’: ‘performer’, ‘worker’, ‘peripheral’, ‘responder’, ‘device’, ‘replica’, ‘satellite’, and ‘secondary’.[18][6][21][22][23] Python switched to ‘main’, ‘parent’, and ‘server’; and ‘worker’, ‘child’, and ‘helper’, depending on context.[7][24] The Linux kernel has adopted a similar policy to use more specific terms in new code or documentation.[22] Other projects and standards have used alternative terms since their inception.

Happenchance, (edited )

While the term blacklist does not originate from racist history, it has certainly been adopted by racists before computers, while terms like master and slave have clear links to slavery as a human history: in either case the terms along with others were found to be offensive to a large population and have since been changed to reflect human decency.

Edit: Haha, found the racists. VvV

Happenchance,

“White Good, Black Bad” is a pretty easy case to win when it comes to the “should we consider changing how we speak to not look like an asshole” debate.

Happenchance,

A reference to A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

It means, “good bye forever”, or some such interpretation.

Happenchance,

If you never read it you will never know.

There is a BBC audiobook from the 80s which is really good.

The original movie is very good.

The new interpretation is fun but not my cuppa.

Happenchance,

A whole lotta mental gymnastics going on in this thread.

Happenchance,

It’s not on fire.

  1. Change your email to an aliased email address. (Proton mail for instance).

Confirm the changes with Facebook.

  1. Change your password to a unique max length with alpha numeric and symbols enabled.

Confirm the changes with Facebook.

  1. Follow Facebook’s guide to deleting your account: Facebook: Delete your account
  2. Delete your alias email. optional
  3. Forget the password. optional

??? Never log into Facebook again.

Profit.

Edit: as others have suggested it is important to delete your Facebook account. I have edited the above to reflect the changes.

Happenchance,

Do you have a recommended deletion route?

Happenchance,

Don’t be so sure. Google has shown in the past that they store information typed into search bars even if the user does not commit the search.

Happenchance,

I take one standard Culture GSV and Mind please.

Happenchance,

I wish they would repo my degree…

Happenchance,

But how would the designers print off the page to show their boss?

Happenchance,

In your mind you have already been targetted by having your image somewhere you don’t want it.

Start by DMing the schools account and request that the following images be removed because they contain your likeness. Link the photos.

The school doesn’t need to make a big stink or even ask you why you don’t want to be seen online, it’s literally none of their business.

Whether they choose to respect your privacy is another story.

Should they fail to remove the photos, move on:

Contact the school administration office and ask that you would like to make a complaint about images posted on the Schools Instagram Account. When they ask why, explain that you would like x number of images removed because they contain your likeness. If they ask why further, explain that you do not want images of yourself online that you yourself do not control. End of story.

They can agree, or not, but I’m sure this would be better than going legal on them.

Happenchance,

You guys are all ignoring the most fundamental law of physics: Monkey’s Paw Law.

“Grant the desired wish in the most unpleasant way possible.”

Hidden Effect: Phyics now supports bugs the size of dogs.

Happenchance,

You are literally defending what appears to be a murderer.

Amazon Prime shows begin to be pirated by Amazon Prime Subscribers, until the end of the billing ear when they are no longer Prime Subscribers.

Happenchance,

Free Open Source Software.

Edit: there is also FLOSS which adds the French “Libre” to include “free as in speech”.

Happenchance,

I love they stuck the hood emblem back on top, like, “Here you go buddy, a little extra metal.”

Happenchance,

Am at the point in life when people start considering kids, and then I see shit like this…

Happenchance,

I’ve been dabbling with Linux for 30 years and it’s only in the last few that it really clicked. I needed a project.

Go start a home server and give yourself projects to work on. Makes Linux very fast to pick up.

Happenchance,

I actually would recommend learning a hypervisor.

Not first. For sure. But before you want to do anything serious.

Proxmox made learning home service hosting so much easier and faster to unfuck.

Happenchance,

Because real manufacturing draws scrutiny, and these companies are audited regularly enough to make licensing fees palletable.

Happenchance,

Looks warm, well protected and generous.

Happenchance,

When ARMA Reforger released it was chaos, with 95% of the people hopelessly lost at all times. It’s because the game gave you a map, a compass, and nothing else for navigation. Best. Immersion. Ever.

Always on instant GPS with augmented reality waypoints between abstract objectives is what kills player immersion (and developer creativity). If I can just follow an arrow from point to point and complete a game: it wasn’t worth making the game.

Happenchance,
