As a pacifist (at least in the technical sense) I'm bound to disagree with you on that, but I also think the ones that are stupid enough to have swastika tattoos or even just publicly call themselves nazis aren't really the ones that we should be worried about. The ones that are really dangerous wear a suit and tie.

As someone who's used android literally since the first android phone was released, it's a massive disappointment how locked down and enshittified it's become.

At best you'd end up with the Cuban missile crisis in reverse.

Unfortunately your fictional rich guy probably survives, since the majority of the Hindenburg's passengers survived.

The lower level firmware, your pc is probably doing the same

Linus is kinda infamous for being a dick.

Another way to help: If you have an idea that someone could possibly patent, no matter how stupid you think it is, you can publish a defensive technical disclosure on tdcommons for free https://www.tdcommons.org/

St Peter gets laid off, and unionises the other saints to go on strike.

Not the best example, the health risks from radium dials were mostly to the people that painted them, because they licked their brushes to point them.

I always assumed it was simply a matter of perspective. E.g. someone leaving the USA for the UK is an expat to the USA but an immigrant to the UK.

Not temu, but I buy loads of stuff from aliexpress, from dice to entire 3d printers.

If your kid tries to eat their camera you have bigger issues to worry about.

Viral is no longer a strong enough adjective for headline editors, we now have MEGAVIRAL.

There's no need for mastodon to be in the mix here, whatever software they are using can federate directly. I know wordpress already has a plugin to do exactly that. (I have no idea what CMS major news outlets use, hopefully not wordpress)

I've been looking for the same thing, everything usually points to frigate being the answer, but it seems like a bit of work to get everything set up.

People have to choose a server with mastodon, and you can't just pick any server because of the mess of defederations.

I loathe that.

Someone does this in a group chat I'm in, it drives me crazy.
