Fellas, is it gay to speak Gaulish?

I’m all for sanctioning them too. Economic sanctions are the bare minimum we should be doing to genocidal authoritarians.

Political agenda is a funny euphemism for imperialist invasion and genocide.

The Federal Government actually owns most of the west. Its the reason why there’s more land for public recreation and national parks in that region of the country.

You can typically hike, camp, or explore BLM land, which is the majority of it, as much as you want so long as you don’t start any fires or litter.

The US wasn’t conducting a genocidal war in Afghanistan. The Russian government is explicitly attempting to erase Ukraine as an entity and anyone who calls themselves Ukrainian with it.

Sadly, this is probably true.

How about we get someone who can win in a swing state so we can avoid Trump? Because right now from the polling it looks like Biden can’t.

Saying that Biden needs to be replaced is not the same as saying don’t vote for whoever is the Democratic candidate. I’ve been screaming into the void telling people to vote on Lemmy and even I think he needs to be switched out. The post debate polling is that damning.

If the dems shove it down our throats I’m still voting for him, but there’s still a narrow window to get a better candidate and we should take it.

The point of an armorer on set is that they ensure that the guns aren’t dangerous. The typical rules about “don’t aim at something you don’t want to destroy” doesn’t apply in a movie because otherwise all the action sequences would look dumb with people firing wildly at the ground. How stupid would it look if John Wick shoots at the floor and blood spurts out of the guys face.

That said, anyone who hires a scab armorer gets what they pay for and deserve to be prosecuted.

Now when I’m lazy and don’t support some standards in my open source projects, I’m just going to say its for security.

404 Media is worker owned; you should pay them.

Given that this is what their lawyers have agreed to, it would be weird for an appeal.

Friendly fire was half the fun of the first game.

If everyone you know uses secure messaging apps, youre in a bubble; their adoption rate is very small.

Of the people I know, even those who use Signal/Matrix still use Chrome and GMail/Docs/Drive. They have a long way to go before they don prosthetic noses.

What’s far more likely than 3d printed prosthetics becoming fashonable is people just rolling over and accepting the distopian surveilance state.

I can’t even get most of my family to use Signal to prevent Facebook from reading their private messages, what could happen to convince them to go full cyberpunk?

Where are you getting free VM hosting?

The comment was in reference to VPN services. Sadly, given theres no right to privacy, you must pay to not be tracked.

i feel like most of your argument is rendered moot with encrypted dns solutions like DoH.

You misunderstand. Large ISPs run their own DNS servers which are preconfigured into the devices they sell. They are the intended recipient and you’d just be encrypting it in transit to their servers.

Another reason to use a VPN is that ISPs have every motive to sell your browsing data and they do. Unlike many other groups tracking you, your ISP inherently has your meatspace name, address, and payment information making their data easily collatable and very valuable.

If you use the default DNS on their provided router they can even tell if someone purchased an XBox, Playstation, or any other smart device just from update and telemetry lookups.

As the article says, by using a VPN youre using someone else’s ISP making that info worthless.

If your threat model includes preventing ad networks from gathering data, a VPN absolutely is a tool to prevent that. Do you have to pay for a service? Probably not if you’re technical enough; a VM in a data center is probably sufficient.

Snyder needs someone to tell him a movie should have both character development and a cohesive plot in at most 2 hrs.

I’m done with him deferring blame for not being able to put together a clean narrative.

No. This is basically why you use native apps. What you could do is set up another profile on Android and you should be able to sign in on a different account for that profile and get notifications.

You don’t seem to understand terminal velocity.
