They’re still figuring out the internet

Terminating service over allegations of piracy. Kicking someone off the internet because an automated copyright system accused them of piracy. That’s crazy.

Studios that can release games on consoles don’t even target people like me. I’m not going to get a console to play 5 good AAA games a year.

A steamdeck however…

I like the idea of the Borg figuring out midichlorians. You know what would make the Borg nightmare better? Force lightning. Mind control.

Next time an artist makes a big deal about being ripped off I’m going to contrast “working hard and then getting ripped off” with “underregulated industry manipulating society for profit” and probably just pirate.

How to “block” ads: Refresh the video multiple times. They will show a few different ads and then give up. It even works on console YT apps which have more ads.

I guess it affects impressions? I figured they would have fixed that, but this still works so whatever.

Is Australia allowed to say what they want? We recently made them coup themselves over military bases, I can’t imagine Australian leaders speaking out against our foreign policy / goals. We’d end their career.

If Spock takes the bait then 10. I feel like I’d learn a lot.

We are the Apple Borg. You will not be assimilated. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be recreated in a more compact, less vestigial form and live in our walled section of the galaxy.

From what I can find, by “These routers send your credentials in plaintext”, they actually meant to say, “The mobile app sends credentials in plaintext.”

If you use the web interface then your credentials are not sent in plaintext. The routers themselves also don’t send credentials in plaintext.

The people who found this out got that wrong, and a lot of people are confused because they didn’t expand on “in plaintext.” They could be a little more professional / thoughtful.

Edit: I’m also thinking about the “may expose you to a MITM” bit. I think if it was https then a MITM (assuming all they can do is examine your packets) wouldn’t work because the data can only be unlocked by the private key. It sounds like it was an http connection?

Peel Dream Magazine - Pad https://youtu.be/rAssFZs5oZU This song reminds me a bit of Toro y Moi, but the next song is pretty different.

Peel Dream Magazine - Reiki https://youtu.be/gPsnUnHQR0g

Prince Rama - Your Life in the End https://youtu.be/jmA1cI1Uxew

Rahill - Growing Pains https://youtu.be/Tx3y83lu3P0 I love this song and despite Rahill collaborating with Beck on a song, this one seems relatively rare.

It’s very weird to want strong benefits from your employer and not simply as a separate thing. Maybe that’s not what he meant but the way it’s listed is vague.

And because corporations aren’t people, here’s the CEOs that ran things during 2014:

Hans Vestberg (b 1965) Verizon

Randall Lynn Stephenson (b 1960) AT&T

Glen F Post (b 1952) CenturyLink

We let these people act with impunity in our society but it doesn’t need to be this way. Look at how Elon, who thrives on attention, flips out over being tracked and heckled. They stole hundreds of billions from us but we don’t even act like it.

It’s a lot of work making stuff up just to have your spiritual alcohol.

I don’t see a negative. It’s foss so you ought to be relaxed about others using your code. The issues are probably just articulating problems that were already there. If it’s stuff you don’t care about… it’s a foss repository so you just ignore it.

Essentially, they needed a list of things their target audience would eat up. Then they included the minimum amount of content required to say they had those things. (Remember, Trump et al are cheap as hell.)

It’s like an anthology saying, “We have Anne Rice! Stephen King! Issac Asimov!” and then it’s just one novella from each. But the customer just wants a book with those names on the front so it’s fine.

Based on the headline I got the impression that the bible was excluding these two amendments. As in, their absence was jarring in the presence of the other amendments.

The truth is that they left out 17 amendments. Because it’s Trump. It’s aimed at people who don’t care about the Constitution. The customers just want the greatest hits, the big names.

Misleading headline aside, here’s what the they actually omitted (aka here’s a truth which doesn’t leave anything out.)

11. Can’t sue a state unless you live there.

12. Structures electing presidents / VPs.

13. Slavery is banned except when it isn’t.

14. Born on US soil == you’re 'Merican, Harry.

15. Suffrage regardless of race.

16. Taxes.

17. Structures electing senators.

18. Prohibition good!

19. Suffrage regardless of sex.

20. Specifies length for Presidential / VP terms.

21. Prohibition bad!

22. The two term limit for Presidents.

23. Gives D.C. electors.

24. You can vote even if you didn’t pay taxes.

25. Formalized the VP succeeding a dead president.

26. Voting age set to 18.

27. That time when Congress took 200 goddamn years to impose a restriction on their salary.

This makes some sense as all foods are salads; sandwiches are untossed salads, tacos are untossed taco salads.
