“We have a lot of political leaders here in the U.S. who are camping out in Poland to try to tilt it,” said Randy Evans, who was ambassador to Luxembourg during Trump’s first term.

Isn’t that just an open admission that they’re trying to influence a foreign election

As with most things of this nature, it’s presented in a way that makes it difficult to argue against, but the evil will come with how it is enforced.

Basically everyone agrees that harmful content should be harder for children to access, and reigning in social media’s exploitation of psychology is laudable.

Right now, there isn’t a good way to control access without handing a ton of personal information to a 3rd party agency with questionable oversight. When you want to access porn in meatspace, you share your name and age with the store clerk, who will promptly forget it. The system doesn’t translate to a digital medium with permanent records.

This is Microsoft Licensing in a nutshell.

I have a tinfoil hat theory that they keep it complicated on purpose to add value to 365 certifications

Time to restore a whole machine backup to a VM with no network connectivity, and manually pull the command?

I’m not surprised. I’m disappointed, but not surprised

It’s not fear of the freedom, it’s choice paralysis. People want to go to one website, sign up for one account and then be part of a network with absolutely zero research beforehand. I like the fediverse, but the barrier to entry is higher than that because it first requires you to understand the technology at a base level.

Internet services getting shitty and then dying is nothing new. Look at MySpace, Digg, or any BBS. people just abandon the old one and join the new popular one. They’ll leave when it gets shitty enough and join the new thing

Similar enterprise-grade SSDs go for around $16K

They’re currently trying to paint Carney as a pedophile because he met Ghislaine Maxwell at a social event one time.

Like all corporations, Disney is a mercenary. Their allegiance lies with whoever puts the bigger number on their cheque.

If MAGA is going to get in the way of Disney trying to make money, I’m more than happy to let Disney fight that battle and waste some cycles

This could be read as “Any opioid we haven’t made a specific exemption for is illegal.”

Narcan is technically an opioid and has no schedule(that I could find), so unless there is a specific exemption, you might be doing 5-10 years if you want to be prepared for an opioid overdose.

“State sanctioned murder is fine if you were a victim of British colonialism 200 years ago” is a wild take, even for a tankie

Does this mean that someone could be jailed for a decade for carrying narcan in a first aid kit?

That’s one issue where they both agree. The conservatives want to be more like the US with lower taxes and fewer regulations, but they still want to be Canadian.

It’s because their playbook has been the same populist “get the elite out of politics” nonsense that the GOP have been pushing since 2015.

Turns out that wanting to be like MAGA really backfired once they wanted to make an enemy out of Canada. We have plenty of fascists up here too, but even they still want to be Canadian.

I mean, this doesn’t really change anything from a practical perspective. It just highlights that the verbage in the press release was alarmist.

It’s still a security concern that most users will be unaware of.

When do we start needing active coolers for our drives?

You can get spinning rust all the way up to 32 TB in a single 3.5" disk and 8 TB in an NVMe drive. The tech is out there, but it takes time for the price of stuff like that to come down when there isnt much demand for it.

I mean, if the position of the country can change to such an insane degree by the results of a single election cycle then a lot of that goodwill that was given prior, should be examined.

It’s bad practice to do it, but it makes it especially easy for end users who already trust both the source and the script.

On the flip side, you can also just download the script from the site without piping it directly to bash if you want to review what it’s going to do before you run it.

I honestly prefer Valve’s method. You as a consumer should be reading what you’re buying before you purchase anyway, and you can still use their refund system if you somehow missed the warning.

Removing unfinished games from the storefront just increases the amount of lost media out there. These projects should be available for as long as possible simply for archival reasons.
