Is there some way I can force Elon Musk to pay $47 to Cards Against Humanity PAC?

Funny you should ask! If you’re a registered voter in PA, GA, NV, AZ, NC, WI, or MI, just type your name into this dumb website for his PAC, put “MuskIsDumb@cah.lol” as your referrer, and they’ll be legally obligated to pay us $47. The more people who do this, the more Musk money we’ll get to un-fuck America.

If he doesn’t pay up, we’ll sue him again.

Did you… try?

It’s amazing to watch the old, rusted machine of antitrust slowly grinding back to life, bit by bit.

Australia has ABC Vote Compass, but it has some oddities based on issues with our political/media landscape:

• it only places you relative to the three top parties
• all the questions are specific election wedge issues (mostly between the top two parties) rather than broader ideological questions, and so it only updates in the run up to each federal (read: national, Australia wide) election
• it takes politicians statements at face value, and doesn’t factor in actual behaviour in power which is often at odds (if you’re curious, look up the history of high speed rail or nuclear power in Australia. Both have been used for electioneering again and again, neither exist despite the advocating party winning)

If anyone is considering how to avoid this on their own site: https://indieweb.org/URL_design

Avoiding spyware doesn’t mean you’re opposed to labor-saving technology

Neither does being a Luddite

They confined their attacks to manufacturers who used machines in what they called “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to get around standard labor practices. “They just wanted machines that made high-quality goods,” says Binfield, “and they wanted these machines to be run by workers who had gone through an apprenticeship and got paid decent wages. Those were their only concerns.”

It’s not clear from your post whether you’ve read the article. In case you haven’t, it’s not really about printers.

I appreciate the ambiguity in your comment created by the missing pronoun.

There are a few PCB drones out there.

Most PCBs, even really cheap ones, are made from FR-4, which is a very robust fibreglass. It’s would be a pretty decent choice for drone components in general.

Not drones, but Carl Bugeja on YouTube makes some fascinating machines almost entirely out of PCBs (although he uses a lot of flex PCBs, not just FR-4).

FYI Thunderbird now natively supports PGP (and possibly WKD?) without the need for Enigmail.

Podcast Addict I really want to use AntennaPod, but I can’t do without priority podcasts.

Also Feedly. Feeder (FOSS) is so close, but doesn’t allow different sorts for different feeds.

Who could have ever guessed that naming different software the same thing would ever come back to bite them

Will we ever stop referring to the Web as “the Internet”?

FYI Israel is no longer doing roof knocking

The meat is beef mince or minced beef (not ground). It’s formed into and cooked as a patty, which is one component of a delicious hamburger.

I think most people would say yes to “is a burger a type of sandwich” but that’s a very different question to would you call a burger a sandwich, which an Aussie would not.

The SDA is infamous for fighting against the interests of workers under its umbrella.
