Prosecutors to seek death penalty for white supremacist who killed 10 at Buffalo supermarket

  • Probably not, it’s probably just part of some Mirai bot farm purchased for $50 to ddos a TF2 streamer or something. The dip was when the rental expired and it was waiting for new orders.

    I mean, not like I’d be super surprised to hear that it was AV on everything, but that sounds like an investment in hardware expenses LG would never make.

  • It is wildly annoying. If you want to get the details, check out the book “What’s the matter with Kansas” for a quick history.

  • No, the RiNOs were intentionally and specifically hunted to extinction through shame and exclusion. That's why the name, "Republican in Name Only," is applied those who don't embrace the party's wildest platforms.

    • It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware.

    • YouTube demonetizes public domain 'Steamboat Willie' video after copyright claim

    Jump

  • This is significant because this is the first time in the history of copyright bots that they've ever had to remove a work from the bot's registry. Given how rarely it happens, the code to do that probably won't even be worth the cost of writing for another decade or two: some guy at YouTube will just add a manual exception for that video. (And that's assuming the best of intention and action from the copy-vio-bot sellers which is unlikely, given their existing behavior.)

    • Retiring House Republican says $174,000 isn't enough money for members of Congress: 'Most of us don't have wealth'

    Jump

  • What if we just pay them +10% on the existing bribe structure and convert to federally funded elections?

    • Woman Wears Body Paint To Gym As "Social Experiment", Internet Slams her

    Jump

  • Right, I think we’re in agreement. I apologize if my tone was harsh: It’s not because of your question but because her asshole approach to everyone else is selfish and infuriating.

    • Woman Wears Body Paint To Gym As "Social Experiment", Internet Slams her

    Jump

  • That’s the thing about your original question, though: this isn’t an experiment in a social-sciences sense. It fails categorically in ethics, rigor, and investigative purpose: in all meaningful research senses.

    She’s just fucking around with people to get views, and maybe she’s finding out.

  • If she’s doing human research, she’d have to get sign off from an institutional review board who’d require that her experiment doesn’t cause lasting harm or discomfort to the participants. You know, the opposite of what she’s doing when she’s trying to get views by causing a confrontation.

    Scientists are bound by these weird things called ethics, which is why there’s never been a laboratory experiment showing that smoking causes cancer in humans.

    • 4 billion if statements

  • I'm still mad he didn't use the size of the number to tell the system which block to read first. I feel like that would be a great use of division or maybe modulus?

    • Oddly consistent

    Jump

  • They probably didn't mention the 177 over 114 because being at the ER is stressful. If you're in there and under 160 they might congratulate you.

    • Pray for their safety

    Jump

  • Oh, fair point. Good call.

  • If it hasn't moved in two hours, we can probably assume it's stopped.

    • Reuters has taken down -- globally -- an important hacking-for-profit investigation that included details about an Indian hacking entrepreneur -- because he got a court in that country to say so.

    Jump

  • I think people mad at Reuters don’t realize that they’re intentionally invoking the Streisand Effect in this case. Otherwise, today, I wouldn’t have heard anything about:

  • Of course! How else are you supposed to rent things you already own? Of course ownership is no cure for renting out these days.

    • Threads - what’s our federation stance?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I assume it’s just the enshitification/embrace-extend-extinguish playbook. Given that FB can decide to rugpull at any time, I don’t know that there’s a timeframe I’d start believing they’d act in good faith. They can just follow the email-playbook to disempower the federated service model.

    • Texas woman leaves state to have abortion after Texas Supreme Court paused ruling that would have allowed it, her lawyers say

    Jump

  • I searched quickly, but I couldn’t find anything. If there was like a Patreon or something where I could give $50/mo to help people get the fuck out of shitty states or situations, I’d do it. Know any?

  • Stealing is a crime that goes back to the 10 commandments, it’s old.

    Not exactly. The original translation from Hebrew was closer to “thou shall not kidnap,” arresting control of a person’s personal boundaries and will, not a violation of personal property, which didn't really exist as a concept at the time.
