At least 41 people have died in stifling, uncooled prisons of either heart-related or unknown causes during Texas’ relentless and record-breaking heat wave this summer
At least another 29 have died of what are still unknown causes pending autopsy results.
The death count is likely higher, as prisons have 30 days to report a prisoner’s death to the state.
TDCJ has reported 35 employee heat-related illnesses this year, but only 14 among prisoners
And that's just heat related over the past few months.
Depending on the nature of the work and security protocols it isn't the WTF. When you're working, on your work device, on the work network, there is zero assumption of privacy (and there really shouldn't be). The company wants to maintain it's security and so it is ensuring it is aware of things happening on its network.
It's not necessary for everyone everywhere but it has valid use case that isn't some mega shady weird thing.
"the cloud isn't tech it's a rental company" is a pretty dumb take tbh.
Like, if you're trying to argue that AWS (or gcp, azure) services don't provide technical solutions that aren't available otherwise you just don't know what you're talking about. Is it expensive, yeah it definitely can be. But cloud is much more than server rentals at this point. Want a host that gives you bare metal? Great there are 'rentals' to choose from. I can see arguing SaaS hasn't really 'tech', but PasS and IaaS provide technology and solutions to problems. I hate Daddy Jeff as much as the next guy but AWS is very much 'tech'.
I agree with the sentiment that his actions should preclude him from running, but felon disenfranchisement is something that isn't talked about nearly enough and I think it's absolutely insane so many people lose their RIGHT to vote.
You say everyone hates then but honestly it's really not true. Plenty of people are annoyed by ads, others tolerate them, sometimes people even enjoy them (see Superbowl shit or people sharing meme ads and commercials) and honestly that's part of the problem. Ads have been a part of so many people lives for so long they can't even imagine a world where they aren't constantly bombarded by ads and having them privacy exploited for corporate gains.
Personally I'm vehemently opposed to ads and go out of my way to block them in every way I can, but fundamentally many people don't see them as an issue or are too attached to the corporate teat to try voting with their wallet to suppress the problem.
Yeah but they're extremists and terrorists who want to control all aspects of the media, stop women from having rights over their bodies and return to their place in society serving men, criminalize everything that goes against their religious beliefs and restrict voting and democracy to preserve their 'values', carry guns with them everywhere and fanatically praise their leaders.
Err, there's some differences somewhere I'm sure..
Idk, great question. Maybe it was the cult leader?
[Twice impeached, ex] president donald trump repeatedly said he wanted his supporters to fight Congress on accepting the electoral college results that showed Joe Biden won.
“We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators, and congressmen and women,” Trump told his supporters shortly before the Capitol assault. “We’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.”
The words Trump used to urge his supporters to show up and “fight” on his behalf Jan. 6.
'We will stop the steal'
'We will never give up. We will never concede. It doesn't happen'
"You will have an illegitimate president. That is what you will have, and we can't let that happen."
'If you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore'
“Let’s have trial by combat,” said Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani, warming up the crowd for Trump.
The lawsuit against them is regarding allegedly using 'trade secrets' and proprietary assets from Nexon, where a number of the team members previously worked. After Nexon killed Project P3 the IRONMACE devs left the company and started their own game based on the premise of an extraction dungeon crawler. After seeing their early success in alpha, Nexon got jealous and sad so the submit a frivolous lawsuit with a cease and desist / DMCA takedown on DaD on Steam.
When claiming stolen assets in their initial filing, Nexon cited publicly purchased engine store assets which is obviously ridiculous.
Both IRONMACE and Nexon are based in Korea so they are still in their legal battle there and as such DaD isn't currently released in Korea. I guess the US case is either dismissed or at least the cease and desist was lifted.
Long story short, nothing to do with Bethesda or elder scrolls assets. IRONMACE made an awesome game and their old employer is sad they can't cash in on something they didn't contribute to at all. All my homies hate Nexon.
Yes how absolutely unreasonable that an obese and nearly 80 year old criminal with multiple felony charges against him for some of the most serious crimes against our nation goes to a secure prison and serves his sentence like any normal person would. Wow. Relax guys.
Especially since quantum threading individual tabs, I've never really had an issue with Firefox performance.
Individual site performance and things like DNS over https and ddos mitigation add more latency than anything I'll notice from the browser level. And I'm happy to wait an extra second if it means having more control of my data and my privacy.
You may want to consider adding nofail and x-systemd.device-timeout opinions on the mount as well if the NFS isn't critical to the device booting, and speed up your boot process a bit.
What benefit does making 'extremely harmful drugs such as meth' illegal provide? In the US meth is illegal. In the US meth use is an epidemic. Prohibition doesn't stop people from accessing or using drugs. It just puts a legal constraint that adds fear of repercussion and social stigma on users that is another barrier to overcome when attempting to seek help and treatment. Not to mention illegal drug trades mean potentially dangerous, unregulated products and the crime that drug trade is often associated with.

Good thing they're... checks notes ... removing libraries and banning books and not teaching evolution and hardly paying teachers and pay parents to not have their kids in school
