Just in general I’ve noticed an uptick in posts that link to a news article of sorts without having anything else included in the post. Just a clickbait title and a link, likely to draw traffic to their website. I’m getting really sick of finding an interesting post just to be met with a “Subscribe to view article” message instead.

“The sentences handed down today make clear that Antifa terrorists who attack law enforcement and federal facilities will face swift and uncompromising justice,” Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, said in a statement. “Their violent extremism has no place in our country, and the Department of Justice will continue to aggressively investigate, disrupt, and prosecute those who threaten law enforcement officers or undermine the rule of law.”

Didn’t the Trump Administration, who are actively praising the unusually harsh sentences, just pardon a bunch of people who were guilty of violent extremism and attacking law enforcement officers?

If they don’t get arrested for premeditated murder, then I doubt they’re actually getting in any trouble for planning the murder stalking.

TLDR:

a German court has ruled that Google is liable for false statements in AI Overviews.

I’m getting pretty sick of these bots posting links to news articles without anything other than a clickbait title.

I’m wearing a watch with a sapphire lens right now! From what I understand, the tradeoff between different watch faces are how easy/hard they are to scratch vs shatter, with sapphire being the most scratch proof and a plastic polymer (I don’t remember which) being the most shatter resistant.

They are very hard to scratch, but also probably easier to crack. I’d hate to drop a phone with a sapphire screen.

I see what you’re saying. Using the rhetoric of “There’s no such thing as murdering a […]” is the same shit the Nazi said about Jews. I would rather take a nonviolent approach to this kind of thing, but as another person commented the paradox of tolerance can become a problem. I don’t want to deal with Nazis. I don’t want them in my community. They know they aren’t welcome, so they hide, and only show their faces when they have strength to intimidate. But they’re still here and they still teach hate wherever they go.

One of the things they did to indoctrinate people into Nazi ideology was to brainwash them as children. The Hitler Youth was a big driving part of his power. I think the first step to combat Nazi hate is to teach empathy first. There’s a reason a lot of tattoo artists will do free cover-ups of hate symbols. People change; I want to believe people are inherently good. But until a Nazi sees how evil their beliefs are, they won’t listen to reason and need to be treated as such: an evil bastard.

Please explain how knowing about the Elder Futhark is defending Nazis?

No I understand that. The S rune on its own has its place in cultural history with all the other Runes, while putting two of them next to each other can only be seen as a Nazi symbol, much like the Swastika. In the modern practice of Heathenry and Paganism (which I practice) it is a very important distinction because the Nazis appropriated so much from European history for their symbolism. For example, the Swastika is the symbol for the Sunwheel, but I outright refuse to use it for anything because fuck Nazis. You can find it in ancient Buddhist temples that long predate Nazi Germany, and it has its own separate meaning for them, but for 99% of people it screams Nazi.

Another lesser known symbol appropriated by Nazis is the “Winged Othala” symbol. The regular Othala Rune is one thing, but adding those little “Wings” on the bottom makes it 100% a Nazi symbol.

I guess one of the points I’m trying to make is to know what is and isn’t some Nazi bs, and that some of those symbols are irredeemable after such strong Nazi usage, but others are just simply mistaken for Nazi symbols when they aren’t. I specifically avoid using anything in my religious practice that has Nazi association, and am ready to explain anything else that people might mistake otherwise.

I’m not disagreeing with that, but to say the Nazi shite invented runes is wrong. I thought it was pretty well known that the Nazis appropriated many of their symbols from historical findings.

The Elder Futhark predates Nazi Germany by well over 1,000 years. Wikipedia says it was used between the 2nd to 8th centuries.

Edit: dang are people getting upset over a fact check? I never said it was okay to use symbols appropriated by Nazis.

I worked for Home Depot for a while. Same thing there. Old stock gets discounted a few times, and if it doesn’t sell, it literally goes into their trash compactor (if it fits). When I first started, I spent an entire shift just breaking apart material to fit in the compactor. (That doesn’t happen often but usually it’s just smaller clearance items that don’t sell.)

I miss the absence of light pollution. I know it was still a thing when I was younger, but to see stars any more where I live seems nothing short of a miracle.

if Valve is using their position to keep prices higher…

I can literally go and buy games on sale at 50-90% off during any of the multitude of sale events that are constantly happening.

TLDR: the article implies it might not be Motorola planning this, since it’s laundering a redirect through a fashion influencer’s site. The redirect only happens on certain update versions of Motorola’s included Smart Feed app on certain phones, and not all of them.

TLDR:

The centre was burned by local youths who became angry while trying to retrieve the body of a friend

It is a Samsung like other comments have mentioned. It sounds like a Jellyfin app was added for Samsung recently according to them, so I’ll have to check it out.

I still want to build a stream box though.

The only reason I’m still using plex is the smart TV I have doesn’t support Jellyfin.

Time to set up a Linux stream box that does support it (and whatever else I want).

Let’s be honest here. None of these people tow anything with their Pavement Princesses™.
