  • This is what I'm saying. Block out the entirety of the video other than the heads of the pedophiles. I'm shocked this isn't happening. 14TB of data is over 2000 hours of 1080p video. Surely there's at least a few frames of evidence that incriminates someone other than Epstein they could release

  • Fluxer: Swedish Discord alternative, can be selfhosted, AGPL-3.0 license

  • It'd work for me and probably for my wife, but my circle also has people that will already be complaining about making a shift to a new service. I'd like to keep it as simple and familiar as possible, which is why I chose element in the first place. It's the only fully self-hostable service with text, voice, video, screen share, and different rooms in the same server, all e2ee, all in the same app. Still has some rough edges on the screen share apparently, but I'm fine with that for now, in hopes that element can sort it out eventually.

  • Yup. Spun up my own matrix/element server as soon as the announcement dropped. Working on adding Element Call now, but they sure don't make it easy.

  • In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud

  • I recently switched from 320kbps to lossless, and there are very few moments where I can tell a difference. The biggest one is in the cover of "Tom's Diner" by AnnenMayKantereit. There's a section of the song at 320kbps where it goes almost silent, other than faint whispers of the band counting out the silence, but in lossless you can hear them actually singing the song quietly

  • What Fediverse instances would you recommend to others?

    Jump

  • Still increases footprint/grants more credibility to the Fediverse, which I think is a good thing. It just won't really impact the daily experience here

  • What Fediverse instances would you recommend to others?

    Jump

  • I live in the PNW. I picked an instance in the PNW. Sometimes I see local news, and often I read comments from people within a few hour drive. It's nice to have a small, local community here, while still having access to the rest of the world together. So I guess recommend picking the largest instance in your region if you don't have any other preferences.

  • Why didn't the mother just use her private doctor on her yacht?

    Jump

  • Sure, I understand that the judge didn't do anything wrong, but the hospital was wrong to even try garnishing wages in the first place

  • Why didn't the mother just use her private doctor on her yacht?

    Jump

  • Fair enough, I was just getting at the fact that this isn't far from something I've seen a hospital do firsthand, and thus doesn't feel like a fake story to me

  • Why didn't the mother just use her private doctor on her yacht?

    Jump

  • I think he was served papers at one point around the 3-4 year mark, but just told the hospital he wasn't going to pay since they already had agreed in writing he didn't have to pay. He never went to court. I don't know the exact process, it was never explained to my brother in law, but given they had a valid, unpaid bill of 8 years (and multiple attempts to get him to pay on record) was enough?

  • Discord faces backlash over age checks after data breach exposed 70,000 IDs

    Jump

  • I've been struggling to accomplish this, and I'm familiar with self hosting. It's brutal. But now that discord has shit the bed (even more) I think I can finally convince my friends to move to it, so I'm taking another crack at a matrix/element server

  • Why didn't the mother just use her private doctor on her yacht?

    Jump

  • My brother in law had a medical bill that was supposed to be covered by insurance, but they didn't pay. (A small-ish bill of a few thousand dollars) His bill was sent to collections, and they hounded him for years, despite him having in writing that the insurance and hospital both agreed that the insurance was supposed to cover it. After 8 years, they started garnishing his wages. This is when he decided to get a lawyer involved, and he was able to successfully sue the hospital for garnishing wages illegally. The hospital had to pay out 30K.

    All that to say, hospitals aren't always acting intelligently or legally.

  • I don't think you know the definition of sex offender, it doesn't always mean someone's done something to kids. You can be a sex offender and only attacked adults. Hell, you can be a sex offender without even touching another person. So "sex offender" isn't enough here. A "pedophile sex offender works", but even then it doesn't show that he has done the worst sex crime that can make you a sex offender, so I'd say it's still not enough. A "child rapist" is really the best way to ensure everyone knows exactly what he's done.

  • Its not looking good..

  • Explain how it's evil to allow the US companies to move their production out of the US? The US corporations could have kept industry here, but they decided to fuck themselves over so that a few shareholders' margins went up by a few percentage points. That wasn't China being malicious, that's the US lacking any sense of foresight while being blinded by greed.

  • Washington Post Raid Is a Frightening Reminder: Turn Off Your Phone’s Biometrics Now

  • You don't have to give them your password, and GrapheneOS has a convenient feature to turn off biometric unlock for only unlocking the phone, but still lets you use it in apps

  • A glimpse into the life of the man who attacked Ilhan Omar.

    Jump

  • Obviously he's the guy who tried to kill someone, so he isn't the victim in that case, but to some extent he is a victim, as is everyone who eventually drinks the coolaid of right-wing mass media propaganda.

    Clearly the guy, while obviously struggling to be a decent human being, wasn't outright vile initially. I may be reading into it a bit much, but can you not see the story of someone who has been through hardships, that was eventually accepted by a group that took advantage of his desire for being part of something? Obviously he cannot shirk blame or fault for the path he ended up taking, but I could see things playing out quite a bit differently if there were reasonable people he could turn to for help and guidance.

    Don't spin my words, I'm not saying anyone made him racist, or that the fact that his girlfriend was black had anything to do with how he turned out. He got divorced twice. His best friend died. One of his daughters is institutionalized. His girlfriend left him. That kind of stuff can cause someone to feel like they have no control over their own life, and unfortunately the right is very good at convincing people they have the solution for that.

    I was raised republican, and made the switch to democrat in college, and then again to socialist a while after that. I've personally had to help people I know from losing their head and falling for the shit Fox News is shoveling in hard times, so maybe I'm just more likely to assume that there could have been conditions in which this guy didn't become a racist asshole who tries to kill a congresswoman. I believe very strongly that, if the left showed any semblance of compassion for the normal folks being targeted by the right, there'd be quite a few less people pulled into being extremists.
