You'll know it's true topsy-turvy world when the red state MAGA types start driving EVs and using encrypted messaging apps.
Excuse me... It was a hand motion that appeared to some observers to be consistent with a historical German sign of greeting and/or eugenics.

Tesla profits are down 71% year-over-year, and the only reason they didn't actually lose money is due to some carbon credit shenanigans.
That's not how end-to-end encryption works...
Not with that attitude.
The question, though, is what the judiciary is going to do with these seemingly inevitable contempt rulings. Let's just say I'm not terribly excited about the prospect of fines unless that's just the opening salvo.
Soy milk slays on protein though. If that's important to you.

Trump's outtie enjoys frequent victories in golf tournaments.
Kindly fuck off. Your bigotry is not welcome here.
You're both wrong! Judaism is a culture centered around matzo ball soup.
I don't think either of those are necessarily true. It's quite likely IMO that the Trump regime just likes the precedent.. If they get away with this, it means they can deport and imprison anyone "by mistake" and then claim oopsie daisy, there's nothing we can do about it.

I'm not defending social media or its algorithms, but you've also got to look at what predated it. People used to get their news and information from news anchors and newspapers that were mouthpieces for capitalists and conservatives. So maybe not as extremist or even as effective at influence as a social media algorithm, but still not great. Personally, I don't want to go back to relying on corporate news outlets either.
Congrats! That looks awesome. The trailer is giving some strong Pony Island vibes.
I get that. I feel that. And I hope for your sake you find your fire before you need it.
Totally, but why couldn't Google just be straight with people on this? All the corporate speak and hedging just serves to fuel speculation—and doesn't instill a lot of confidence in them or their products.
I mean... What makes you think that's off the table?
How to Fight Trump (And How Not To)
The second Trump administration’s horrific attacks on immigrants, the oppressed, workers, and the public sector have been met with an encouraging wave of protest by the broad left. However the anti-Trump movement has also been mired in liberal patriotism and misplaced hope in the courts. By contrast...
Demonstrators led by Jewish Voice for Peace demanding release of Palestinian activist stood in US president’s New York City building
Protesters organized by a progressive Jewish group occupied the lobby of Trump Tower in New York City on Thursday to demand the release of Mahmoud Khalil, the Palestinian Columbia University student held by US immigration authorities. About 100 were arrested.
Chanted slogans included: “Free Mahmoud, free them all” and: “Fight Nazis, not students.”
Other chants in footage posted to social media included: “We will not comply, Mahmoud, we are on your side” and: “Bring Mahmoud home now.”
At a news briefing on Thursday afternoon, a police official said those arrested faced charges including trespassing, obstruction and resisting arrest.
PHP and security
The recent post about what people are using for webmail got me thinking about a perhaps irrational policy I have with my own self-hosted software: I don't install anything written in PHP, because I have this vague notion that PHP software is often insecure. I think I probably got this idea because years ago I saw all the vulnerabilities in PHP webmail clients and PHP software like Wordpress and decided that it was the language's fault—or at least a contributing factor.
Maybe this isn't fair. Maybe PHP is just more accessible to new devs and so they're more likely to gravitate to it and make security mistakes. Maybe my perception isn't even accurate, and webmail / blog software written in other languages is just as bad—but PHP gets all the the negative attention because it's so prevalent for web apps. Maybe my policy was a good idea, years ago, but now it's just out of date.
To be clear, I'm not trying to stoke the flames of a language holy war here or anything. I'm honestly asking:
Podman is awesome—and totally frustrating
So Podman is an open source container engine like Docker—with "full"1 Docker compatibility. IMO Podman's main benefit over Docker is security. But how is it more secure? Keep reading...
Docker traditionally runs a daemon as the root user, and you need to mount that daemon's socket into various containers for them to work as intended (See: Traefik, Portainer, etc.) But if someone compromises such a container and therefore gains access to the Docker socket, it's game over for your host. That Docker socket is the keys to the root kingdom, so to speak.
Podman doesn't have a daemon by default, although you can run a very minimal one for Docker compatibility. And perhaps more importantly, Podman can run entirely as a non-root user.2 Non-root means if someone compromises a container and somehow manages to break out of it, they don't get the keys to the kingdom. They only get access to your non-privileged Unix user. So like the keys to a little room that only cont
How do you texture drywall without it looking like hot garbage?
For context, I'm talking about texturing smaller drywall repairs like, say, a patched 3-inch hole (don't get me started on railings not installed to code...) or even nail pop repairs as per the other recent post. Assume I've mudded and sanded and it's nice and smooth and now I want it.. less smooth. To match, say, an orange peel texture.
I fully realize that no repair texturing will 100% match an existing texture, but I'm not going for a 100% match. Hell, I'd settle for 50%. To date, my efforts have involved a paint roller with 1/2 inch nap (something like this one) and slightly dilluted joint compound. The results have been ... less than stellar. Just a bunch of random wrinkly ridges on the wall rather than orange-peely bumps. From thirty feet, you probably wouldn't see it. Unfortunately it's in a hallway that's less than thirty feet wide...

Smart light switch with a good tactile UX
Hey all! I'm looking for a mythical local-only (Wifi, Z-Wave, or Zigbee) smart light switch that has a good feel and user experience when manually switching on/off. What I mean by that: I think my ideal UX is some sort of hard rocker switch like the very much not smart Leviton Decora switches. You hit the top of the rocker for on or hit the bottom of it for off, and it has a good, solid feel with each state change.
The problem comes when making one of these switches "smart," e.g. stuffing a Shelly or something behind it. The up/down directions won't correspond to on/off anymore, because the smart switch can turn the light on/off without affecting the rocker direction. Maybe this is okay and I just need to deal with it? Does anyone with a similar setup find this annoying? I
