The 4B movement is explicitly transphobic. I’m all for punishing conservative men but the sudden popularity of this specific movement is suspicious to me.

The terrible irony of a for-profit company using the Anarchist A. I hate it.

I can verify that Makerbots are both fussy and haunted.

I quit cold turkey about 5 months ago after smoking for a decade. Might start again, might not. I still get cravings. If I do start again I’m going to make myself learn to roll them by hand instead of buying packs so that it’s cheaper and takes more conscious effort.

You keep posting sources for things that are unrelated to my original question. Obviously the USA is top or near top of the list of spreading propaganda online, no one in their right mind would debate that. If you have sources saying that Hamas is spreading misinformation in a way that affects the USA’s 2024 presidential election I am very interested in learning about that.

Thanks for sharing those sources! Sorry if I gave the impression that I believe in Russiagate. I meant that it is factually true that Russia attempts to spread misinformation on the internet, and I said that to contrast my belief that Hamas does not formally conduct operations to spread misinformation, unlike Russia. I am not trying to suggest anything about whether or not Russian propaganda is effective or targeted in any specific way.

Hamas internet trolls? Do you have any sources for that? Russian misinformation campaigns are well documented but I find it hard to believe that Hamas is conducting similar operations.

It’s called a coif. They also serve a critical part in terms of shock absorption.

Edit - I misread “alt” as “ai” and it colored my interpretation of the article. I still don’t like generative AI and I am in favor of manually writing alt text when possible but this is probably one of the rare cases where AI can actually be used for good.

Original comment - I wish Mozilla would quit trying to chase AI. I just want a browser that works properly and respects my privacy. I gave them a monthly donation for years but I stopped when they started announcing AI shit.

Are Ubiquiti devices still the best value for homelabs and small businesses these days?

For those curious, definitely worth a read: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/alfredo-m-bonanno-armed-joy

You’re not entirely wrong but the Pal system itself has a good amount of depth - Pals have traits and skills, and are weaker or stronger against different other types of Pals, so you can be very clever about what skills you teach them and what fights/environments you take them into. The game can get very easy if you exploit this system properly but is quite challenging if you ignore Pal stats and just grind levels and gear.

It depends on your threat model. If you simply want fewer targeted ads, there is a benefit. If you are a journalist under a dictatorship, there is little to no benefit.

Pigs, cows, and chickens also experience incredible suffering in factory farms. The whole industry is rotted.

The only way to use google play services and retain any privacy is to completely sandbox them, and the only OS that actually does this is GrapheneOS.

The question was - what would you like to see the US government do, hypothetically. I would like us to no longer be allied with a genocidal apartheid colonial nation.

Also, the US has used its military power for regime change a dozen times since 1990, not to mention before. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change#1991–present:_Post-Cold_War

Any time the US (or any other major world power) does anything I’m going to question the motive, as it’s likely motivated by greed. However, in a hypothetical where I could make the US do whatever I want in this one specific time and place, I would force a regime change in Israel to one that is, at the very least, less bloodthirsty. At the most, one that would initiate a peaceful retreat of Israeli settlers from all native Palestinian land.

Hi Ashley! Nice to meet you. Do you listen to any podcasts?
