goes to find videos of people shooting cybertrucks
(I wonder if giving a single cybertruck to a single trans influencer would do it? It only took a single can of Bud Light after all…)

We didn’t listen to Eisenhower; I don’t think we’re going to listen to Biden.

- Comment on "Your body, my choice:" Hate and harassment towards women spreads online 1 month ago:
This is crazy… misguided, hypocritical, extreme, and unsafe. Etc.
Just like back alley abortions. Both easily avoided by respecting the bodily and reproductive autonomy of women.

I knew I’d receive that reply, and I know it to be true. It’s still very odd, as noted. I’m sure there are other examples where one definition contradicts another, but none immediately spring to mind.
- Comment on You have 8 seconds. 2 months ago:
It is truly bizarre that one of the definitions of the word is literally the opposite of the primary definition of the word, however.

Overdrive is the one I usually hear about, but in googling Libby it seems they are related.

Kobo folks. I’ve been there through three generations of devices. No regrets. Fairly hackable, sideload friendly, competitively priced.

I used Windows back then. There was already EEE as far back as Netscape Navigator
Then there is the whole “they stole from Apple who stole from Xerox” before that.

So in addition to the Boeing low hanging fruit - feels like the opener to a scifi story involving either covert space weapons testing or the start to some kind of extraterrestrial invasion. 😁
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 2 months ago:
No one is listening I’m sorry to say. I corrected a couple people but then realized it was pointless. The discussions in the crossposted communities (which - holy shit I don’t think I’ve seen something so thoroughly spammed across multiple tech communities before) are just as bad or worse.

They have confirmed it was a packaging bug and will be resolved.
- Comment on Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source 2 months ago:
It’s just a packaging bug and they said they will fix it.

They literally posted that this is a packaging bug and will be resolved.

Meta: The company whose products you use when you absolutely, positively don’t give a shit that they are the worst example of the worst nightmare of a consumer-hostile, privacy-invading, you-are-the-product, tech company. Yes, even worse than Microsoft.

Ah I see now, I misread what you were trying to communicate.

Hamas != Hisbollah
And they also don’t use pagers, or cell phones, or…?
- Comment on Lebanon’s health minister says 8 killed, 2,750 wounded by exploding pagers 3 months ago:
They planted bombs in hardware that is used exclusively by Hezbollah operatives and their accomplices to evade gathering sigint. Yes, civilians got hurt. That’s the nature of war, and what makes it so horrible - people who might hold no malice nor pose any threat to the other side get hurt and die.
How is this argument different than defending the use of landmines?
So the pagers were ordered by Hamas. You send that text you don’t know if they are at a daycare picking up their kids, if they lost the pager and it’s sitting on some restaurant owner’s countertop next to some other family, etc etc etc.
There are so many things that can happen between when those pagers get rigged and sent out and the time they are detonated.
If Israel seemed at all like they tried to avoid bombing and shooting civilians in Gaza we could at least defend their actions there by saying “clearly they are trying to avoid civilian casualties” (we can’t, but we could) - but there is nothing but hopes and prayers to avoid civilian casualties in an attack like this.
Literally if any non-governmental entity did the same thing, no one would hesitate to call it a terrorist attack. And that’s what it is here, a terrorist attack.
