Should probably plan for the worst case scenario where that trade is eliminated and mitigate it elsewhere as best as possible. America’s leadership has become cancerous, and figuratively speaking, leaning into their isolationism and letting them starve themselves out as a consequence of not understanding how economic globalization works is probably the best shot at real change.

A theoretically correct but practically useless sentiment.

That’s an insult to five-year-olds.

They’re probably going to try spinning it as China being scared (because their number is lower than Trump’s number) but I think China is probably just flexing. confident they don’t need to go any harder for the US to destroy itself

Oh, I see. They should have agreed to a ceasebomb instead.

save some adjectives for the rest of us

No, that’s not entirely on her. It sucks that she didn’t step out of line from Biden’s stance on Israel. But it also sucks that a lot of Democratic voters decided their personal feelings of moral sanctimony justified electing someone with a drastically worse stance on the issue.

I don’t think there’s been an election in living memory where people liked 100% of the candidate’s policy. Your duty as a voter is to make the most suitable choice from among the viable candidates. People who claimed they couldn’t vote for Kamala because she wouldn’t oppose Israel’s genocide, and who abstained from voting, directly contributed to worsening the situation with their choices, and they aided in deeply sabotaging (if not destroying) the country in the process.

“You can’t support Harris without supporting genocide” was right-wing propagandist bullshit the entire time, and it’s deeply saddening that so many people couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Most of them are probably still feeling smug about it while ignoring the blood on their hands.

But you do see how that’s still better, right? Kamala would at least have been open to public pressure, meaning it could have been possible to pull the emergency brake a little harder. Trump isn’t gonna change his mind for fuck all, and isn’t just releasing the brake, but slamming his foot on the gas.

Not as slowpoke as you might have thought, this was published on Oct. 2

There are plenty of places on the internet at large where those resources exist outside of social media. Restricting minors from posting (but not reading) might also be an effective alternative to a total ban. Though in either case there is little you can do to stop them from just lying during sign up

Russia has the propaganda machine that got Trump elected. I’d be (pleasantly) surprised if their citizenry was able to meaningfully resist

the court ordered Wikipedia to disclose who made these allegedly defamatory edits to the ANI page

… Isn’t the edit history public, though? They should be able to determine the IPs/users who are responsible for the edits.

I don’t know how the Indian legal system works, but then if necessary you would try to compel Wikipedia to turn over contact information for those users, as with a subpoena in US law.

…

…

After looking over the article, Wikipedia has turned over user info to that effect. ANI is mad because they weren’t allowed to edit their own page, essentially, which is disallowed on Wikipedia in general because of bias.

The hearing began in July after ANI petitioned the court, saying it had tried to change the allegedly defamatory material on Wikipedia but its edits were not accepted.

The ANI page was put under “extended confirmed protection” - a Wikipedia feature used to stop vandalism or abuse - where only users who have already done a certain number of edits can make changes to a page.

You’re kidding me… I was discussing whether his actions meet the definition of a crime and therefore whether the established legal punishment would be appropriate. As others have commented he IS an American citizen (from 2002) and there’s no question of jurisdiction here. Although treason is a very high bar (despite mounting evidence) and it is much more likely that he could be got for sedition under the Smith Act or something.

I disagree with your decision. I think your effort would be better spent focusing on the folks actually advocating for vigilantism.

What… are they even doing with this

If it’s any comfort (it might not be), a few hundred thousand out of like 8 billion is a pretty small percentage. It’s troubling that it evaded the law for long enough to accumulate that many users in one place, though :/

I tend to avoid games that have that sort of anticheat already, but that looks very useful. Thanks for sharing!

Very relatable. Unfortunately we just don’t live in a world where that’s currently possible right now.

I’m planning to switch to some Linux or other at end of support for W10. I’m hoping Proton will take care of most of the games I want to play, and a single-purpose Windows VM will take care of the rest, if that’s not too big of a security risk to the host OS.

Why is Texas such a clown show?

well, if whatever code automatically turns plaintext links into hyperlinks isn’t Markdown related, then it’s still the instance or client you’re using that has the problem. before they edited the trailing space in, it was working correctly on my end. You should consider looking into it and filing a bug.
