I feel like this a cultural thing because that sounds wild to me.
The penalty for burglary where I am is not death, nor am I a judge or executioner.
We’ve been broken into a lot and it’s usually just some poor asshole who wants to steal things to buy meth. It’s horrible and scary and feels like a massive violation but shooting someone in that scenario just feels like straight up murder.
Not American, or really knowledgeable about it but from the outside, I think this looks like ordinary politicking.
IVF is a proxy war for abortion. Dems want the talking point that abortion bans hurt/block IVF. Republicans/Trump want to remove that talking point by saying they love IVF “we want more babies right?” and will support laws to protect it as a separate and unrelated issue to abortion.
Dems put forward a bill that not only protects it but makes insurance companies pay for it. Trump is fine with that because it benefits him but Republicans in Congress get big money from insurance lobbyists and so they can’t vote for it. They also have fears that they’ll piss off their homophobic supporters by making them pay for something the gays might use (insurance costs will go up to help someone who isn’t me!").
Republicans put forward another bill that protects IVF without hurting their insurance company buddies but the Dems block it. Republicans then have to vote against the IVF bill and the Dems can now say “see! They really don’t care about reproductive rights at all!”
Feels a bit like nobody involved actually cares about IVF at all and just wants votes and lobbyist money.
In case this take comes across too centrist: Republicans and Trump are really quite shit.
You forgot interrobang‽ The most important and incredulous reason for a compose key.
Hmmm…
That looks pretty paywally to me. That said, I’m all for people supporting independent media.
This is called “semantic satiation” which are both pleasingly weird words now that I think about it…
I don’t think that’s how it works? It’s the client application that has the key for the end to end encryption, not the server. I don’t think you need to trust the matrix server you use? I could be wrong, I don’t know matrix particularly well.
Haha, the internet did not fit on a 1.44mb floppy in 1998. Curious to know what was on this‽
1998 was well into the CD-ROM era and the internet was full of .mp3s and .isos by then.
It’s not that it’s on the 172.16.0.0/12 range. That’s totally normal and used for all kinds of stuff.
It’s that it’s in 172.16.42.0/24 which is the default dhcp settings for a wifi pineapple. It’s the /24 mask given on the .42 that’s a little suspicious because that’s not a common range for anything else.
Being assigned one of those specific 253 hosts with that subnet mask would definitely make me think twice.
Pretty sure it’s an autocomplete (like copilot or something)
They were typing
progress != “Hold”
And the ai autocomplete suggested
progress != “Hold onto your butts!”
Hence why the completion part is in grey (it’s a suggestion)
I was going to come up with something fun and clever to keep it going but the next line of the real song starts with “cream-coloured ponies” so I think we should probably just leave it here after all.
There are some of the internet’s things that we don’t need to enumerate.
What was the original text‽
Friendship drive charging…
