Yeah they pretty much forced her to engage. All because this F.. former president thought he could materialize an endorsement by posting a deepfaked image saying she endorsed him.

No worries. Personally based on my experiences, Vanguard funds are pretty well managed and even the riskiest funds wouldn’t be over indexed on a given stock.

For instance, with $VOOG, only three out of the over two hundred holdings are over 10% by weight. Companies like Amazon, Meta, and Google didn’t even make the cut for 10%. Even if $DJT was included in a Vanguard fund, I would be surprised if the shares of that fund moved significantly in response to $DJT losing value.

Obligatory: I am not a licensed financial adviser, this comment is my opinion and should not be considered financial advice.

Did you need to read past the .ml?

Do you know which Vanguard funds? I have some $VOOG and $DJT doesn’t show anywhere in the holdings as far as I can see: https://www.zacks.com/funds/etf/VOOG/holding

Haha no problem

She also bought Crowdstrike stock just about a month before the global outage: https://www.thedailybeast.com/marjorie-taylor-greenes-latest-stock-splurge-may-be-conflict-of-interest

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person.. _/s

Yep. He and I wouldn’t agree on much, if anything, but pragmatically speaking he’s currently serving a valuable purpose so we can let him cook.

Isn’t it sad that I, and probably plenty others, could list off name after name after name that has used these exact lines on Lemmy? And yet they think we don’t see exactly what they’re up to.

“ … Republican Florida senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott penned a joint letter … ”

Oooh! Is this the part where the fascists start to autocannibalize!?

Yep, definitely situational depending on your risk model/tolerance; pretty cool idea nonetheless.

This seems like a cool idea, but also somewhat questionable from a security standpoint? Isn’t distributing the encrypted content alongside the means to decrypt it (i.e. bundling this all in one file which is sent to the client) essentially equivalent to providing physical access to an encrypted drive? Like an attacker with enough time and effort could bypass the encryption.

Streisand Effect, engage!

Squid has some fire memes, put some respect on the name.

If you look at the first picture closely enough, you can see the outline of his Depends. If I had to see it, so do all of you.

For sure; I suspect there’s already a large group of women voters with trumper husbands already planning on voting for Harris, especially if this is anything to go off of: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/the-big-question-touching-a-nerve-this-election-can-my-husband-find-out-who-i-am-voting-for/ar-AA1oMuqQ

It would galvanize his base but they’re already a lost cause. Him having a racist/sexist outburst on live TV and Harris handling it like an adult would only help her campaign.

We are 100% going to see a ton of them coming out of the woodworks and claiming they never backed him.

I don’t have anything fancy going on with the tablet. Like it’s not tracking the bike or my workout or anything like that. I just use my watch for fitness tracking and put up either exercise videos or a stream or something to watch on the tablet.

To each their own, but I think that’s giving him too much of a break. My saying “he generated it” was perhaps a poor choice of words so I’ll clarify; I think he 100% knew that this was a fake image, knows who generated it, and was complicit in spreading disinformation.

What I don’t believe is that some random person he doesn’t know said “hey look at this”, and then he got excited and started sharing the image. He wrote something to the effect of “I accept!”, and as dumb as the man is, I believe that he knows damn well that endorsements don’t happen like that.

Fair enough, someone probably helped him. What I don’t believe is that he wasn’t involved at all and the pictures just landed in his lap.
