Now we know how water wars will begin.

Well, both spend and collect, to be accurate.

Well, there may be an imminent incoming pandemic, or it's just normal fascism things, like turning off all public information and then whitelisting propaganda-safe data to be turned back on when it's vetted. Can't really tell which possibility is a worse sign of things to come.

Accuracy is important. But then again, it doesn't make much difference.

People are dumber than ever, and a lack of a mandate means herd immunity starts to fail because not enough people are vaccinated. At that point, people start saying, "Everyone's still getting sick, vaccines must not work," accelerating vaccine-skepticism and disease in a feedback loop.

No, they worked for me between 15-10 years ago, but I get it - by all accounts now they're so enshittified that it's just Match parasitically turning loneliness into profit at ever greater efficiency. They would have failed immediately if they didn't work long enough to capture enough market and attention.

As others mentioned OK Cupid, and it's a great example. It was originally very good at matching people, and they took pride in it. I remember when Match bought it, as I had recently (just in time) found my person. I was able to see it go from "No, we're leaving it alone, just tweaking a few things" to ending the interesting data-exploration articles, dumbing down the experience, adding micro-pay-gating, and fully gutting the experience and staff. Nobody should have trusted Match to not destroy what it was, and if they hadn't sold and remained a useable app, maybe the market would have abandoned Match. Instead, here we are.

I don't envy those people still looking, I assume best case is still using apps but you just have to waste a lot more time.

Yeah, this is the one. If you forget, my way of remembering is just looking at any picture of her and noting dem crazy eyes.

Yeah, this seems woefully naive coming from the AP, which should know at least that much.

I know this is stretching it, but given how stupid of a timeline we're in, I have to allow for the possibility that FEMA is being disbanded because CA Gov. Newsom is taller than Trump.

Accusing gentle Mr. Trump of a misdeed?

Fortunately no need to think of other reasons, because that's absolutely the correct one.

The thing about narcissists - especially ones who want political power - is that every single one believes they are special, different, and in control.

You could put them all in an auditorium and tell them, "Look to your left, look to your right, look in front of you, look behind you. All but one of you will be betrayed and thrown in jail by Trump," and every single one would uncritically think they are the 1 in 5 that will not. They all think they can manipulate Trump and each other better than the others.

Mitch McConnell, widely considered to be the worst person in the US during the Obama presidency, the most craven GOP nihilist in remembered history who single-handedly stole two Supreme Court seats and sought to strip healthcare for tens of millions of Americans without even bothering to come up with an alternate plan, voted against this guy and lost because the rest of the GOP senate was somehow even more craven and nihilistic.

We're through the looking glass here people.

Well, given his incompetence and loyalty to Trump, the purges already happening in government agencies by other Project 2025 enablers, and Hegseth's own previous comments about getting rid of any generals who don't kiss the ring, I'm just going to call it and say as of this moment the U.S. military is also captured by fascism.

History may view this as the biggest game-over moment (apart from the election), depending on how things go.

It looks like a tiny watermark that's been lost to compression.

This is a click bait poll and article. Of course Fox News got the largest share of all political groups who viewed the inauguration, including Democrats. That's because of Democrats, those who are most likely to watch the inauguration are those who watch Fox News.

This is not an indication that Fox News is now the more watched news source for Democrats. Because most Democrats (like most of all groups) didn't even watch it.

I ask myself that every morning.

Unfortunately, maintaining hacked forked versions of specific apps is even more time consuming for devs than it is for us to just spoof our security environment on our phones. Popular apps like YouTube have such versions but that's only because the userbase is there.

I've seen some XDA discussion on hacking apps but you're actually just learning to become a programmer/hacker at that point. If you have a specific app, and you're not able to hack it yourself, unfortunately spoofing via Magisk & Tricky Store is the only sustainable way.

There are three levels of security, and it depends on what your app will check for.

Basic: This is essentially unsecure at this point, and any app that checks for security will almost certainly check for a higher level. If you root your phone, you likely will just show "basic." Netflix will be low quality and most banking apps will not work, even if you use the default root features to hide your root.

Device: This is considered the norm for security checks and current peak efficiency point for accessing secure apps. You can spoof this level of security with Magisk if you are rooted (optionally unlocked), plus Play Integrity Fix as a plugin to Magisk. Note that you have to keep it updated - it is based on spoofing a device fingerprint that is shared at the plugin-level, and which Google periodically blocks. You can also learn to find your own fingerprint if you are tech savvy, but it could still be blocked and can be time-consuming. This is the minimum level to use Google Wallet NFC payments and most banking apps. If done right, Netflix will stream high quality as well.

Strong: This is the highest level of security, which an app thinks will only be present if you have a fully locked bootloader and are unrooted. Some banking apps require this now, but a year from now, it likely will be the norm. A year ago, this wasn't able to be spoofed, but now there is something called Tricky Store that can spoof this and show Strong security to apps even when unlocked and rooted. However, it is much more complicated to set up - be prepared to join sketchy Telegram groups and scrounge for elusive security files.

ADL: If it looks like a nazi, and quacks like a nazi, it deserves a bit of grace, the benefit of the doubt, and we should hope for healing and work towards unity in the months and years ahead.

It lasted three days if that's any indication...
