But wasn’t he just claiming a few weeks back that Kamala Harris wasnt black enough?

Sure Donny. Their rhetoric is of violence and intolerance for their fellow man. Right.

All violence is political violence.

I really only need like 2 or 3 mm of extra nail on one thumb to open oranges and grapefruits perfectly fine. Anything longer than that and it becomes unwieldy and unhygienic.

I accept that people sometimes keep their nails long. That acceptance comes with a caveat that I will not be eating anything handled by hands with long nails.

Serves that law firm right tbh

I have a feeling USB drives will be readable for a long time to come, considering that we still use the standard almoat everywhere, nearly 28 years after its introduction.

That said, copying the data from old archives into new formats is always a good idea

Hopefully this puts LSD on a path to being easier to research and potentially becoming part of an approved therapy for certain conditions.

Yeah I get a big popup that says “Plaintext is exclusive to subscribers” on the direct link. However if I enable reader mode, navigate to the author’s page, then navigate back, it works fine

In a technical sense, a consumer VPN service is really more of an encrypted proxy than anything else. It tries to obfuscate what network traffic and activity you’re actually participating in by both appearing as the endpoint for your connection, and the destination for the connection of the sites you visit and internet services you use.

A true VPN does more than that, allowing multiple computers that are not sharing a router to communicate with each other as if they are. For context, certain IP addresses are local-only, such as any IP starting with 192.168.x.x. This means that when you access the broader internet, your IP is different than the one used when you try to use your WiFi printer on your same network. They’re both your addresses, you have them at the same time, but one is really the address of your whole network while the other is the address of your computer in that network. Think “building street address” and “office number in that building”

For businesses and other organizations, a VPN is a useful way to allow users to connect using these local-only addresses without physically being connected to the network those local addresses are valid in. You don’t have to expose the printer to the Internet, you just need to expose the VPN service to the Internet, and then allow VPN users to connect to the network when they need to use the printer

This is the most incredible article I’ve ever. EVER. Read.

This will change the world, so long as the word gets out and Big Pharma doesn’t somehow force the government to crack down on it and stop people from accessing the materials they need to make their own meds.

Adjusted for time since release, 4 more to go!

Plastics are only plastics when many separate (often gaseous) molecules called monomers form large chains or webs called polymers. If you vaporize a polymer, it gets reverted to being many monomers

Never fire someone for an accident unless the accident was a symptom of willful negligence. Fire them for being unqualified or incompetent, sure, but not for an honest mistake. Training someone to avoid that mistake in the future will be far less expensive than replacing them, and they’re going to be far less likely to make mistakes like it ever again.

If you distribute encrypted materials you also need to distribute a means of decryption. I’m willing to bet a honeypot was used to trick him into distributing his csam right to the government hinself.

East Asian languages aren’t pictograms. Most use phonetic alphabets. Among those that don’t, very few characters use visual resemblance to convey meaning, and no language uses primarily pictographical characters.

While true that the term originates from Japanese, it’s important to note that emoji is a loanword that has been adapted into english by changing its pronunciation subtly, and replacing its spelling with a phonetically similar one in an alphabet not used in Japanese.

This is similar to when words and phrases are used without much adaptation in the middle of sentences that are otherwise in a different language. There’s a certain je ne sais quoi about English and how it mixes loanwords (such as “calque”), calques (such as “loanword”, where individual parts of the word are translated then recombined) and entire unchanged terms (such as “je ne sais quoi”) freely, and to varying degrees depending on where you are and who you talk to.

I’m a free speech absolutist, but only for “Free as in free beer”, and “speech as in Oscar acceptance speech”. Don’t let people charge to hear what they have to say, and start loudly playing music over them if they go on too long

While I doubt he’s the spitting image of a healthy body, I’m willing to bet a lot of the chub on him is a bulletproof vest. I don’t believe for a second the man goes anywhere without one these days

NFTs are great for replacing things like deeds or vehicle titles, where we need paperwork to verify ownership. But the problem arises when it’s cryptographically hard (meaning exceedingly unlikely on reasonable timescales) to reverse fraudulent transfers of those documents. Cutting out a centralized authority at the price of making the system more vulnerable for gullible people is almost always not worth it.
