Now try reading the rest.

Depends on if you mean Puritans in Massachusetts, or Quakers in Pennsylvania.

It's not a matter of imagination. There's specific infra preventing HTTPS MITM from being done secretly. Look up "Certificate Transparency". The CA certs shipped with browsers are a matter of public record, and any security whiz would love to catch this sort of bullshit.

He is guilty in the ordinary sense. But "found guilty" is technical vocabulary for criminal courts.

"Found guilty" is inaccurate, since he was not charged with it as a crime. Rather, it was a finding of fact in a civil case. The standards of evidence are different, and a criminal prosecution would still have to prove the charge to a higher standard. But for purposes of civil liability, yeah, he did it.

They don't want every government to immediately ban the use of Chrome on government computers ....

Doing that would cause all corporations and governments to switch to Edge immediately. Google actually built infra to make it impossible to get away with this kind of hijacking: look up Certificate Transparency.

You can't MITM HTTPS with a VPN unless the browser accepts an insecure certificate. And that can't be done without being detected; and the security community would raise seven shades of hell.

Google has actually helped build the infrastructure that (in a public, provable way that Google can't subvert) makes it impossible to get away with MITM in this manner. It's called Certificate Transparency.

Put another way: Google wants other big companies and governments to use Chrome and Android. If Google started MITMing traffic like you suggest, no corporation or government would ever touch their products again. So they've built infra that lets them prove they don't.

They could use this to get more accurate figures about the popularity of different sites or services by IP and port. But they don't need to; they have search.

If "no, thanks" is not treated as a complete sentence, you're in a bad crowd. Doesn't matter if it's beer with the coworkers or MDMA at a trippy cuddle party. "No" requires no further elaboration.

If you feel like discussing your reasons, feel free to bring them up. But you should not have to. If your "no" is not accepted about drugs, get out -- because those people are in the habit of rejecting people's "no" on other things, too.

And by the way, this rule is just as important, maybe more so, for people who do choose to take recreational drugs sometimes. Just because I'm okay having a beer in one context does not oblige me to do shots with your buddies.

Patiently explain that "alien encounters" are just the playful trickery of the Fae, who have been pulling this sort of thing for much longer than anyone was imagining spaceships.

Nah. For example, the members of Southern state legislatures who voted to secede from the Union and make war on the United States federal government were insurrectionists.

No, subreddit moderators can't, but the people who run the servers certainly can. Same goes on Lemmy, by the way: the operators of an instance can access that information via web server logs. In general, if you operate a web server, you absolutely can track the IP address information of any browser that connects to that web server. This is a fundamental requirement of TCP/IP; the server needs to see the client's IP address in order to be able to serve the page.

Saved you a click: Emmer (Minnesota) and Scott (Georgia) are the non-traitors.

All the rest are insurrectionists; and thus are not actually qualified to be in any federal office at all, much less Speaker.

Rule 1, 3, 4, violation. That's what the report button is for.

Thing is, GOP is not conservative. They do not actually exhibit the "conservative values" that they claim.

Protect families and ensure they have healthy communities to raise their children in? Nope, that would be "socialism".

Promote morality, modesty, and decency? Nah, GOP politicians exemplify immorality, immodesty, and indecency in their personal lives and their public behavior, from Trump to Boebert to Jordan.

Encourage private charity? No — well, maybe as a means of tax evasion.

Obey the dictates of Christianity? Definitely not; Jesus was "woke".

Protect the free market? Not when it interferes with capital accumulation by political supporters, fraud by political supporters, or the interests of foreign enemies.

Prevent crime? Nah, need crime to justify police violence.

Investigate and punish shameful crimes against innocent girls? No, testing the rape-kit backlogs would be "woke feminism" (and we might find Matt Gaetz's DNA in there). Millions for SWAT teams; zero for prosecuting actual offenders with actual evidence!

Respect the classical, educated heritage of Western culture? No, education is "woke" too, and so are cultural institutions like universities, orchestras, museums, galleries, the Catholic Church, ...

Honor the military? Nah, disabled veterans are lame and ugly, get them out of sight (and cut their benefits).

Respect the flag, surely? Nope, desecrate it into a symbol of police violence.

Secure the nation against enemies? No, America must be weakened so that Russia may rise.

You can only get kuru from eating brains that have kuru themselves.

No, neurotransmitters don't work that way. It's like asking if capturing the energy from your house wifi's radio signals, and using it to charge your laptop, would cause your housemates' browser history to show up on your screen.

The popular conception of dopamine as reward/reinforcement is almost entirely incorrect. While your brain does use dopamine in reward-related signaling, it also uses it in aversion-related signaling, which is just the opposite. And also in motor coordination, which is why Parkinson's involves dopamine problems and is treated with dopamine-related drugs like levodopa. (And levodopa is not addictive, contrary to the popular conception of dopamine.)

The HP LaserJet 4MP was pretty decent, but that came out in 1993.

TBF in Rome they eat them whole as babies.

Here in California, we mash-up pizza ideas from all over, no matter what people think of it anywhere else. It turns out Detroit-style square pizza, with BBQ chicken and artichoke hearts, is pretty damn tasty.
