  • Wait.

    1/ publishing evidence of the Clinton campaign actively undermining Sanders who was then the natural candidate of the Democrats according to their internal polls (including by using antisemitic slur) + actively boosting Trump campaign because "it's the only one we can beat" is "throwing the US presidential election to the Republicans"? How this genuine, authenticated information of public interest, published in the New York Times and WaPo is throwing the US elections more than the facts that were being reported?

    2/ "worked with Russian intelligence" is absolute nonsense. What is your source on that? The Muller report says the opposite. If anything it is possible (but not proven) that the source may have been from within Russian intel, but a) Assange mentioned several times -way before that episode- that the entire architecture of WL made it impossible for them to actually know their sources, and we have all reasons to believe that (as it would be the smartest thing to do) b) if any journalist gets documents that are authentic and of public interest, regardless of the source, their duty is to publish it. If a Russian intelligence source had provided fake, doctored or otherwise altered material, and they would have been published as such, it would have been a real scandal. In the facts we are still talking of ground-breaking journalism.

    I still can't figure that some people cannot realize that Hillary Clinton did all she could to actually lose this election on her own (this and a fundamentally fucked up electoral system), and are actually finding scapegoats like Assange to avoid looking at this reality in the eyes...

  • Am afraid that using invidious, newpipe or any other youtube "viewer" is actually giving the videos their view count, and therefore making you "vote" in the recommendation algorithm that is at the heart of so much bias... can anyone confirm or infirm that?

  • Great post!! Thanks for the love and effort of putting it all together!

  • the music is great! going all over the place in such little time! such whacky sorta solo!!

  • Well it does to some extent, because maybe they're just the tip of a wider problem, an easy target that lets conveniently 90+% of the hyper-sugar products, super-highly addictive and harmful, available to children...?

  • wonder how much of this "energy" comes from cafeine and such compared to how much actually comes from plain'ol deadly addictive sugar...

  • You can say straight off the Amiga port is superior, as it displays "Elite" the whole time! ;)

  • A second hand laptop like T430S

  • Can anyone point to the source code please? They claim it is "privacy friendly", so it cannot be proprietary, right? right? right?

  • sounds like pure intimidation to me.

    1/ one could have "never received this letter"

    2/ one could decide not to pay, and then what? will they go to court? based on what evidence?

    3/ if it ever goes to court, "i don't know, i wasnt even home that day" should always work no?

    i don't understand while in some countries (actually only one that i know of, Germany) people seem to be terrified by this lawyer's spam...

  • What are the challenges posed by moderation (and admin in general) that you didn't think of when launching the first instance?

    (and: How can things get improved, how can people help?)

  • Anyone verified the data, could explain where it icomes from? Seems very dubious... How anything from 1820 can be measured accurately to start with...? let alone compare to 2020...?

  • Oh no! I trashed my faithful Palm Pilot (tm) years ago :/

  • RIP :((

    Few programmers leave such an impressive legacy....

    (Could someone paste the message here, out of the Google hell?)

  • my first was just... sic... 30+ years ago

  • good thing is that you can anytime switch to wayland/sway, thanks to the amazing drop-in compatibility between i3 and sway config files!
