  • New achievement just dropped: catfish as an associate pastor of prosperity churches and just fucking roast Trump until tax exemptions are removed.

  • This was it!!! Thank you!

  • Yeah. Just restarted and still having the issue.

  • The biggest issue is that making a browser from scratch takes a lot of resources. It's not cheap and takes a long time.

    We essentially have Chrome and Firefox now. And Firefox is starting to enshitify.

    We desperately need a third browser.

  • Subpoenas, generally speaking, do not require a signature of a judge and aren't subject to the same scrutiny as a warrant.

    Subpoenas are issued against third parties (in this case Google) to compel the release of information. Google can fight the subpoena in court, but they generally don't.

    The enforceability only comes if Google decided not to comply, at which point they could offer to sell the information to the government or a judge ruled that Google must comply.

    Again, most companies comply because they often lack the incentive to not comply.

  • The files were held by the DOJ, the literal department responsible for investigating crimes of this magnitude.

    They've been held for at least two administrations and were ordered released by an act of Congress.

    At what point is it "enough time"?

  • The goal of companies mandating RTO is attrition. They want people to quit without firing or laying them off.

    Their goal is to hire younger, hungrier (both literally and figuratively) coders who are cheaper and less experienced and will use "AI" to clean up their code.

  • Law enforcement and public education seems like a very weird combination.

    They should be barred from all government-paid roles, including contractors and subcontractors.

  • I'm okay with Opt-Out so long as it's clearly marked.

    I shouldn't have to go into the config or click through 7 layers of UI just to opt out.

    That said, this is a reminder that Firefox is no longer open source. It's source available and you should use Waterfox or LibreWolf if you want a browser based on Firefox but without AI out of the box.

  • Yeah the title of this post is confusing.

    It reads as if piefed blocks anti-Musk content, not blocks Musk content.

  • According to this article, you're right: there is no directive to actually arrest ICE agents. Only "investigate". Of note the FOP is against the order.

    The original EO hasn't been uploaded yet but their press release says the police are to:

    • Document federal enforcement activities in accordance with CPD policy;
    • Ensure that any body-camera footage captured during the incident—including footage of any use of force, detentions, injuries, or other enforcement activity—is preserved;
    • Seek to identify the federal supervisory officer on scene, attempt to verify the supervisory officer’s name and badge number, and record the credential verification using body-cameras—including any refusal to comply;
    • Complete a report on any violation of state or local law by federal agents consistent with CPD policy;
    • Immediately summon emergency medical services and render aid to any injured person on the scene.

    This is literally toothless.

  • Did Trump find an infinite money hack?

    Step 1: Become president

    Step 2: As a private citizen, sue the government for billions of dollars

    Step 3: As president, order to settle lawsuit.

    Literally nothing our courts can do about it.

  • Trump is proving once and for all that so long as he doesn't get punished for it, everything he does is legal.

  • Should be 47.

  • Most roofs last 25-30 years or so. I suspect the amount of time that solar panels need to be replaced is around the same time since replacing the panels after you replace the roof only a few years beforehand might be most costly.

  • I've been using startpage for about two years. It's okay. Not great but good enough that it handles 95% of my searches.

  • There is a "Commons Clause" that people can add but there is some controversy as to whether adding this clause is enforceable. It very much would violate the strict definition of "FOSS".

    That said, I very much am against corporations that make full use of FOSS without contributing anything meaningful in return. I personally believe companies that make over $1M in revenue should absolutely donate something to the FOSS products they use.

    Not only that but developers need to stop using permissive licenses like MIT or CC0. Moving to something like GPL3 (and specifically version 3) would go a long way for companies to stop treating open source as a well they can exploit.
