Yeah, I thought the same. I’ve use mail.com to make burner emails for accounts that don’t accept maildrop.cc (one off emails).

Not that it would justify it at all, but was he Australian? I like to imagine this bewildered a-hole getting increasingly pissed at what he perceives as a transgression of social boundaries by every Australian he meets on his holiday.

You think he ate em?

People speaking on their phone using a loudspeaker.

People who don’t understand basic elevator etiquette and attempt to walk in before people get off.

People who play Karaoke loud enough for anyone outside of their home to hear.

People who drive two motorbikes / bicycles beside each other and talk, thereby blocking traffic.

People who cut in line.

People who don’t clean up after their pets.

People who get angry at the animals and not the owners for the above.

People who display a total ignorance of the most basic facts regarding other countries.

Dysfunctionally incompetent and/or lazy staff (beyond what is acceptable for low income workers).

Bureaucrats who clearly prioritise covering their ass over performing the most basic functions of their job.

People who are rude/dismissive to others who are smaller/weaker/meeker than them.

Racist taxi drivers.

Asshole bus drivers.

People who don’t apologise when they are wrong and know it.

I can think of more but I’ll stop there.

This is fantastic. Thank you. I didn’t know EFF provided this service.

What do you mean? We just outsource the waste management to private companies who assure us they will dispose of it in a safe and secure manner. (This is legitimately what America does with nuclear waste, with limited oversight – fuck you Regan – and it is fucking bananas).

This reminds me of a one of Zeno’s Paradoxes of Motion. The following is from the Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy:

Suppose a very fast runner—such as mythical Atalanta—needs to run for the bus. Clearly before she reaches the bus stop she must run half-way, as Aristotle says. There’s no problem there; supposing a constant motion it will take her 1/2 the time to run half-way there and 1/2 the time to run the rest of the way. Now she must also run half-way to the half-way point—i.e., a 1/4 of the total distance—before she reaches the half-way point, but again she is left with a finite number of finite lengths to run, and plenty of time to do it. And before she reaches 1/4 of the way she must reach 1/2 of 1/4=1/8 of the way; and before that a 1/16; and so on. There is no problem at any finite point in this series, but what if the halving is carried out infinitely many times? The resulting series contains no first distance to run, for any possible first distance could be divided in half, and hence would not be first after all. However it does contain a final distance, namely 1/2 of the way; and a penultimate distance, 1/4 of the way; and a third to last distance, 1/8 of the way; and so on. Thus the series of distances that Atalanta is required to run is: …, then 1/16 of the way, then 1/8 of the way, then 1/4 of the way, and finally 1/2 of the way (for now we are not suggesting that she stops at the end of each segment and then starts running at the beginning of the next—we are thinking of her continuous run being composed of such parts). And now there is a problem, for this description of her run has her travelling an infinite number of finite distances, which, Zeno would have us conclude, must take an infinite time, which is to say it is never completed. And since the argument does not depend on the distance or who or what the mover is, it follows that no finite distance can ever be traveled, which is to say that all motion is impossible. (Note that the paradox could easily be generated in the other direction so that Atalanta must first run half way, then half the remaining way, then half of that and so on, so that she must run the following endless sequence of fractions of the total distance: 1/2, then 1/4, then 1/8, then ….)

Rewatched the Golden Years of the Simpsons recently and I think it’s crazy that season 2 isn’t included in that era. Season 2 Simpsons is fantastic.

I should really cron my Borg script rather than waiting for a sinking anxiety to set it and doing backups at random intetvals

I dont understand the downvotes on some of these anti-signal arguments. There are a number of very valid arguments against Signal if privacy is your chief concern: they have centralised servers, they’ve been extremely lax with adding their production updates to their publicly available source code on github, they receive funding from RFA.

Revanced continues to work fine for me.

Wait, what are the problems with Brave?

Am I missing something here? Did Nvidia leave a void?

You’re right I sbould have included that in the question. I’m on Hyprland with Wayland so there are quite a few choices. I mentioned rofi (rofi-wayland) and wofi because I can see that they are both options here.

Completely agree with all your points. On a tangential note, I wish opensecrets had an rss feed…

I thought it was funny.

Faair. Thanks anyways.

Guy has been a fed since day one. Involved in early CIA projects. Bunch of the early contracts he got for Oracle came directly from the CIA. It made the company. They’ve been pally ever since. Ellison is just the CIA with all the social tact of a tech billionaire.

Well the FTC won’t let Zuck be or let Zuck fuck me so let me see…

Ah, I think I may have used the wrong terminology (though thank you for the respobses). What I’m really looking for is an organisation that provides public reviews of FOSS codebases and assesses their privacy and security. Is that a thing?
