Telegram has public groups which function nearly identical to social media. Signal does not.

If Amazon AWS began hosting nazi websites and refused to take them down, should the CEO be arrested? I’d say yes.

I’m curious now, before which election cycle was the US significantly less evil than currently?

Piggybacking off of this comment, if you happen to enjoy Minesweeper, I recommend:

14 Minesweeper Variants

No guessing is required to solve any puzzle either, despite some variants seeming completely impossible.

Fun fact: There’s an achievement for stumbling across a level with a conpletely empty starting board, without any spaces being revealed to be mines or non-mines. Yes, that can be solved without guessing.

Fun fact 2: I’d argue there are more than 14 variants.

Mailboxes are locked over here, that’s pretty much it. Nobody but you can take anything out of your mailbox:

Just like every other country:

Far too little, far too late.

The article doesn’t mention absolute numbers either. Because China will likely increase emissions until 2030 - the only thing being reduced is the speed emissions increase at.

Why tf are your AGs allowed to just ignore crimes? Aren’t there laws to prevent selective enforcement like this?

TIL noise pollution laws don’t apply to cars in the US.

How about:

If they manage to become too fast again, we can maybe hold the event in a pool filled with 1m of water.

A road’s speed limit is the lower one of these two values though:

• the speed limit on signs
• the highest speed it is safe to drive at

If you can’t stop within the same distance as you can look ahead, YOU ARE TOO FAST.

If you crash into a stopped car hidden behind a curve or hill, you went too fast. Traffic jams can occur for any reason at any road.

If you run over a child that ran across the road from behind a parked car in a dense urban environment, you went too fast. It is to be expected that children live in urban areas and that children are irrational.

Why would you use a linear approximation, this clearly looks like exponential growth (for the last 9 years).

Linux will obviously achieve 100% market share within the next few years.

At least the addons part has been mostly resolved - although not all addons are supported, Firefox mobile now has significantly more official addons than before:

For mobile, I’d recommend Mull instead of Iceraven

Pros:

• Just like Iceraven, a fork of Fenix
• incorporates the arkenfox user.js
• Doesn’t have “No warranties or guarantees of security or updates or even stability!” in its project description

Cons:

• APKs are only on FDroid
• awful name, no animal reference
• awful logo color scheme imo - magenta on turquoise is… an interesting choice

Here’s a probably somewhat biased but from quickly skimming over it not inaccurate browser comparison by the developer(s) of Mull:

Literally 95% of the German parliament is opposed to it. It’s not just right wingers, they’re just the most opposed.

The Green party supports increasing existing social services up until and slightly beyond the minimum required to live (and not be homeless) and opposes sanctions for those who refuse to work.

The “social” democrats - conservative lite to be exact - support a “right to work” instead of UBI. Work is great and it’s more than making money, you achieve self-determination through work etc etc.

Every other party further right is absolutely insane and their proposals can and should be completely ignored.

Of the 5% who aren’t opposed, a quarter is made up of “left conservatives” who advocate for social spending but heavily oppose any and all LGBTQ+ rights, immigration and nature/climate protection.

No it’s not. So far, no one has been able to disprove that Vance fucked a couch.

Depending on who compromised you, paying the ransom is the smart move.

As long as the hacker group has a somewhat established name and reputation, they have more to lose from keeping a copy afterwards than to gain. Trust is like half of the business model for these groups - throwing it all away for a one-time gain isn’t the smartest move.

And while you should obviously keep a backup, in the end it might be cheaper to just pay up, especially because of potential future lawsuits should customer data be leaked.

Also, you should absolutely make sure the hackers actually have stolen data instead of merely encrypting it all with a secret key. There’s no point in paying in that case.

What I am saying is that there won’t be any significant difference in public support, regardless of how few people are inconvenienced. The people who complain now are the same who complained when the same group targeted luxury private jets.

They won’t be anyways. The entire conservative movement is against clinate protests regardless of how few people are inconvenienced. So why bother about what they think?

Yeah, no worries - seeing the upvote/downvote ratio most people seem to have missed the (don’t look at my instance’s ccTLD) part.

Although the comment section has also become significantly worse since I’ve commented, so my comment might not be as obviously satirical anymore as I’ve thought

I, the most American person in existence with American citizenship (don’t look at my instance’s ccTLD), will not vote in this election and encourage all my fellow Americans to do the same because Harris is literally the same as Trump. Literally. 99.9% of their DNA is identical. Their differences are a mere rounding error and you will not achieve meaningful change with that.
