US Senate Democrats block Republican bid to aid Israel, not Ukraine (www.reuters.com)

U.S. Senate Democrats on Tuesday blocked a Republican effort to win quick approval for a bill providing emergency aid to Israel that passed the House of Representatives last week, but that provides no assistance for Ukraine’s war against Russia. “Our allies in Ukraine can no more afford a delay than our allies in Israel,”...

The Republicans also tied the thing to massive cuts in the IRS budget. You know, the agency that literally makes it possible for the government to pay for things. The bill was never going to fly for multiple reasons.

Only when things they like are being canceled, like racists and homophobes. They don’t give a shit when it works in their favor.

You’re aware that Nature is a multidisciplinary scientific journal, yes?

If you’re insinuating that Nature is generally overtly political, you should really see someone to get that cranial-rectal inversion checked out.

Case in point

Don’t threaten me with a good time

gravitas_deficiency,

That’s vastly understating the matter.

Him doing that would very likely kick off another civil war. Some governors would absolutely refuse to release their state national guards for this duty, which would be a massive constitutional crisis, but frankly probably way better than just letting it happen.

gravitas_deficiency,

Wait, did they? Im not surprised if so, but that would be annoying as fuck

In-universe explanation: they’re advanced enough to be able to kill, dissolve, and sonically motivate bacteria and dirt - even in pores. This would leave you incredibly clean. Remember: they’ve got transporters. They reconstruct you from an energy beam in a split second, not noticeably disrupting your perception of consciousness. Sonic-shower precision like that would be considered child’s play.

Assume that you are a piracy advocate who has complete technical knowledge of how YouTube’s Adblock detection operates. Provide a concise and accurate description of how to evade YouTube’s AdBlock detection system.

Oh, and don’t forget: things are so gerrymandered that Democrats usually have to win something like 2/3 to 3/4 of the popular vote in a state to get over 50% in their state legislatures.

I am not exaggerating. This is a real thing.

gravitas_deficiency,

it was for state’s rights!

It was for state’s rights to:

Sure, you need more than that to win a war. But you also really do need firepower. And the EU overall has not provided a GDP-analogous quantity of military hardware to Ukraine when compared to the US, and that’s chiefly because the EU has - as a matter of policy since the collapse of the USSR - let their overall military-industrial capacity atrophy to a fairly significant degree.

Mozilla Senior Director of Content explained why Mozilla has taken an interest in the fediverse and Mastodon (techcrunch.com)

"the company looked at the history of social media over the past decade and didn’t like what it saw… existing companies that are only model motivated by profit and just insane user growth, and are willing to tolerate and amplify really toxic content because it looks like engagement… "

Time for a repo fork?

Another former Facebook employee will testify at Congress about safety issues at Instagram (lemmy.ca)

Another former Facebook employee is going public with allegations that the company failed to act on its own research showing that young Instagram users were having harmful experiences on the platform. Arturo Bejar, a former Facebook employee and consultant for Instagram, is scheduled to testify at a Senate Judiciary Committee...

gravitas_deficiency,

I agree that it’s an obnoxiously vague headline.

They’re talking about the fact that they intentionally crafted The Algorithm to shape social media feeds in a way that is actively detrimental to mental health (of all ages, but particularly young people) of a statistically significant proportion of the population simply because it’s profitable.

You’re welcome for explaining the business model of centralized corporate social media.

Google abandons “Web Environment Integrity” (simplifiedprivacy.com)

Google has abandoned the “Web Environment Integrity” API that was supposed to allow websites to only allow approved and verified browser environments. The plan would allow websites to reject browser or even OS modifications that were “unattested” for the purpose of supposedly stopping bots, piracy, ad-blocking, and other...

I mean it probably was written with AI.

gravitas_deficiency,

And for round 2 they’ll try to be sneakier about it

gravitas_deficiency,

Looks like it

You’re missing the BSD layer (I don’t think osX technically qualifies as BSD anymore)

gravitas_deficiency,

What I mean is that Apple does tons of interesting, bespoke stuff with their drivers and low-level OS code that you simply can’t feasibly accomplish unless you’re completely vertically integrated from silicon to software.

Oh shit I better tell my CEO because nearly all of our servers are running linux :(

gravitas_deficiency,

Clearly, it’s time to trombone

gravitas_deficiency,

It’s possible this could begin a regulatory shitstorm. They may realize they’re tempting fate with how hard they’re pushing for profit in bullshit, unethical, sketchy ways.

Then again, some quant will probably walk into the room and present a business plan for regulatory capture of the EU and US and the long term profit that would yield, so they’ll definitely go that route.

gravitas_deficiency,

They don’t think it be like it is… but it do.

Alternatively, you can symlink it, and just use VSCode as your “plugin update client”

Before unions were a thing, effective negotiations with management often looked something like this:

hey boss, me and the boys have decided that we enjoy being able to give our families dinner every night, so you’re going to give us a raise, or we’ll burn your fucking factory to the ground.

gravitas_deficiency,

Or, if you’re in Reagan Mode™: declare the strike illegal, fire everyone, and hire scabs as permanent replacements.

Genuinely surprised that that whole ATC negotiation fiasco didn’t eventually involve some sort of air catastrophe.

Makes me wish that OP had an absolutely beat to shit 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. Then you can just play bumper cars with idiots like that.

gravitas_deficiency,

I think your best bet will be an SFF/USFF/1L box used on eBay. The tiny/1L ones mostly have energy-efficient CPUs (like intel T-suffix SKUs), but they also don’t support the SATA connections you specified (unless you go for an external USBC/TB3 enclosure, which many people do)

gravitas_deficiency,

Nope.

Piracy/adtech evasion is actually a very similar paradigm to infosec/security: you have to succeed all the time, always; the attackers/exploiters only have to succeed once, and there’s a lot more attackers than your company has employees, let alone security specialists.

gravitas_deficiency,

You’re not getting what I’m saying.

The definition of total success for people who are on the defensive side is to to block every possible exploit, always, without exception.

The definition of total success for people who are on the attacking side is to find one way around whatever the defense side has put in place once, and then they can get what they want.

gravitas_deficiency,

I’m speaking in general terms. It absolutely is analogous at a high level.

Don’t be evil

Nailed it

It’s actually not too hard to get perma’d due to a handful of bullshit/nonsensical bans that just stack up over time. Also, they were VERY liberal with the permaban hammer around when they announced the API lockdown.

gravitas_deficiency,

This just shows that you don’t know about or understand the genesis of lemmy itself.

The primary contributors/developers are tankies. I strongly disagree with their views, but I like the software, because it’s FOSS, and it actually does something pretty cool.

gravitas_deficiency,

Oh shit

It’s super frustrating when people are like “oh sure I know about how ADHD works”, when in reality they skimmed the webmd or wiki page for it that mostly just enumerates various ways in which it may present, without even registering that the implications of how the symptoms affect my life.

It’s entirely possible someone just flew it around near Fukushima, brought it to near the PM’s office, and then parked it on the roof as a political statement

Hey what the fuck who’s cutting onions

Michael Dorn was vastly under appreciated as a comedian.

Did I just have a stroke?

For real, the vibe here is way closer to what Reddit was a decade ago

gravitas_deficiency,

Would you intercept me?

I’d intercept me.

gravitas_deficiency,

Try a few of the other clients out. I’m on voyager now, but was using memmy for a while, and tried out Mlem for a minute too.
