You can do this on cheap consumer grade hardware without requiring particularly advanced programming or video editing skills. Even if you make the punishment extremely harsh the damage will already be done by the time you can prosecute and convict someone for abusing this technology to spread misinformation. The cat is definitely out of the bag at this point.
A lot of top Democrats are going to pretend they never supported unconditional military aid for Netanyahu's genocide. This is the Iraq war all over again.
The cure for an ailing democracy is more democracy. We need more voter participation, fairer districts, and better more representative voting systems that don't result in a two party gridlock which pushes everyone towards extremism or apathy.
The reason they are trying to draw unfair districts and make voting harder is because these are real systems of power that can influence change.
Democracy isn't a thing that you have, it's a thing that you do.
Honestly I don't understand how the right hasn't co-opted solar energy as a libertarian sort of grid independence thing. Seems like an easy win considering how much opportunity there is for politicians to throw subsidies at manufacturing in their states.
It's utterly ridiculous how copyright law has been twisted to erode the very idea of ownership. Does it have software on it? Well then it's not just against the terms of service... It's illegal!
I don't know if it's still there but a couple years ago poking around in gmail settings I was able to find that there was still a section for inviting new users to the gmail beta. I had 97/100 invites remaining. Been like that for almost 20 years now which is crazy.
Slack Business/Enterprise supports SAML single sign-on. At any scale larger than a single team or two this is probably the better way of handling it, then the account gets disabled as soon as it's disabled in the identity provider. Otherwise if I remember right Slack accounts are tied to the email address and users can set their own display names. I used to administrate Slack for ~60 users but now we're on Teams.
Generally I just don't take clones of disk partitions anymore. They tend to take up too much disk space to keep more than one or two backups and typically require the disk to be unmounted which means it's a mostly manual process. That all but guarantees that any backup I take will be out of date when I need it most.
Instead I've found it better to take regular automated file level backups and automate the way I configure my environment so that I can quickly restore and rebuild if something goes wrong.
If I just want to be able to quickly revert a drive to a previous state or have easy point-in-time restore I manage the disk with ZFS. ZFS has a snapshotting feature which is great for this sort of thing and you can even restore snapshots to another zfs pool the same way you might restore a partition to another disk but without all the hassle of resizing things.
Are you using s3 for storage or block storage? S3 is pretty cheap but I'm wondering if Cloudfront would still help me with the load on the ec2 instance when federation traffic is slamming it.
It's going to take real work to train models that don't just reflect our own biases but this seems like a really sloppy and ineffective way to go about it.
Wait you mean that Biden and Trump weren't really holding hands and eating piles of spaghetti together?
