New achievement just dropped: catfish as an associate pastor of prosperity churches and just fucking roast Trump until tax exemptions are removed.

This was it!!! Thank you!

Yeah. Just restarted and still having the issue.

The biggest issue is that making a browser from scratch takes a lot of resources. It’s not cheap and takes a long time.

We essentially have Chrome and Firefox now. And Firefox is starting to enshitify.

We desperately need a third browser.

Subpoenas, generally speaking, do not require a signature of a judge and aren’t subject to the same scrutiny as a warrant.

Subpoenas are issued against third parties (in this case Google) to compel the release of information. Google can fight the subpoena in court, but they generally don’t.

The enforceability only comes if Google decided not to comply, at which point they could offer to sell the information to the government or a judge ruled that Google must comply.

Again, most companies comply because they often lack the incentive to not comply.

The files were held by the DOJ, the literal department responsible for investigating crimes of this magnitude.

They’ve been held for at least two administrations and were ordered released by an act of Congress.

At what point is it “enough time”?

Mozilla are using a similar model to Microsoft and open sourcing Firefox code under the MPL while distributing the executable under a new Terms of Service.

Firefox (the executable) is no longer considered FOSS since they can revoke your license at anytime. I posted a comment that details my personal view of this change.

TL;DR: they would have only done this if they planned on farming user data. And last month announced that they intend to do just that.

The goal of companies mandating RTO is attrition. They want people to quit without firing or laying them off.

Their goal is to hire younger, hungrier (both literally and figuratively) coders who are cheaper and less experienced and will use “AI” to clean up their code.

Law enforcement and public education seems like a very weird combination.

They should be barred from all government-paid roles, including contractors and subcontractors.

I’m okay with Opt-Out so long as it’s clearly marked.

I shouldn’t have to go into the config or click through 7 layers of UI just to opt out.

That said, this is a reminder that Firefox is no longer open source. It’s source available and you should use Waterfox or LibreWolf if you want a browser based on Firefox but without AI out of the box.

I went down this rabbit hole (PGP/PKI) a few months ago and more or less agree with the blogs that @naeap posted.

BUT do not discount the importance that PKI has played to our overall security infrastructure. It’s just that PGP is an absolute shitshow when it comes to communication in today’s day and age.

I’d love something that works like Signal (e.g. forward security, identifiable but also deniable) but also in email-like format. I feel like Matrix comes closest in that you can have multiple devices that belong to you that can decrypt full messages but it requires a central server, which isn’t ideal. E2EE leaves the possibility that you can lose your device (and thus your messages) but not having it leaves the possibility of eavesdropping.

I don’t have a good email solution. So right now I’m just using Signal for most secure communications.

Yeah the title of this post is confusing.

It reads as if piefed blocks anti-Musk content, not blocks Musk content.

She’s still going to vote for Republicans.

I guarantee it.

According to this article, you’re right: there is no directive to actually arrest ICE agents. Only “investigate”. Of note the FOP is against the order.

The original EO hasn’t been uploaded yet but their press release says the police are to:

• Document federal enforcement activities in accordance with CPD policy;
• Ensure that any body-camera footage captured during the incident—including footage of any use of force, detentions, injuries, or other enforcement activity—is preserved;
• Seek to identify the federal supervisory officer on scene, attempt to verify the supervisory officer’s name and badge number, and record the credential verification using body-cameras—including any refusal to comply;
• Complete a report on any violation of state or local law by federal agents consistent with CPD policy;
• Immediately summon emergency medical services and render aid to any injured person on the scene.

This is literally toothless.

Did Trump find an infinite money hack?

Step 1: Become president

Step 2: As a private citizen, sue the government for billions of dollars

Step 3: As president, order to settle lawsuit.

Literally nothing our courts can do about it.

Trump is proving once and for all that so long as he doesn’t get punished for it, everything he does is legal.

Should be 47.

Honestly, they could carve the swastika. Its the same thing

By graduate, I’m assuming undergrad?

I’m in my 40s and I’ll try to contextualize my advice.

• College degrees are all but unnecessary at this point. If you are taking college courses paid for by your company, I’d keep going but if you are paying out of pocket, I’d really wonder if it’s worth it. If you are only a few credits shy, it might be worth it to continue.
• Money buys happiness. I hate that it does and I hate the state of our late-stage capitalism but you can’t do much if you don’t have money unless you’re willing to significantly lower your standard of living. Maybe you’re willing to. I wasn’t. That said, you can travel but finding a remote job that allows you to work anywhere can be extremely challenging. I just wrapped up my job search and every interview I got was for a remote job except two. I got an offer for a remote job as well as an on-site job and ended up taking the on-site job because the salary and benefits were much better. I’m not going to tell you what to do because it really depends on your priorities but if I were in your shoes, I’d rather focus on building savings and then spend that savings to travel than try to travel and work at the same time.
• It’s hard to answer your question regarding where to take your career. I’d say it’s better to expand your skills since you never know what’s going to be in demand when you job search next. AI is the hotness right now but most of my interviews have been in the DevOps space.

Most roofs last 25-30 years or so. I suspect the amount of time that solar panels need to be replaced is around the same time since replacing the panels after you replace the roof only a few years beforehand might be most costly.
