  • EU prepares to give US direct access to police and immigration databases

    Jump

  • Why? Who cares about "offenses" of a random traveler. Why do you trust an international crime db to be accurate?

  • ‘They Are at War With Us!’ Fox News’ Jesse Watters Denounces ‘All These Rats’ After Charlie Kirk Assassination

  • What a terribly naive thing to say.

    [Video] NSFL GORE: Charlie Kirk gets shot in the neck at rally

    Jump

  • Almost certainly. It was an intentional shot, you don't aim for the neck. Either the shooter was aiming for the heart or the head, and missed. But mission still accomplished.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Glad he's dead. Hope he is the first of many and that the shooter is never found.

    Also normalize calling any liberal a fascist who is trying to introduce gun control even though this is the best case scenario of an armed populace.

  • Greta Thunberg's Gaza flotilla hit by drone, organisers claim

    Jump

  • Love that the Tunisian Authorities claim it wasn;t a drone, but that merely an incendiary device dropped from a drone, a totally different thing.

    Also why is Tunisia fucking with the flotilla? Surely they aren't friends with Israel.

  • Georgia judge to toss landmark racketeering charges against 'Cop City' protesters

    Jump

  • The racketeering charges were never intended to be "real." The consequences of interacting with America's justice system is the punishment for acting against it. Sure the people protesting won't be incarcerated, but the consequences of their actions will haunt them for the rest of their lives.

    If you want to protest against the government, don't do it within the "proper" channels. Stay extra-legal, stay safe, do not collaborate with law-enforcement.

  • Why is it so hard to get friends to leave Discord, WhatsApp, Instagram, and others? Anyone else feel this?

    Jump

  • So because some people can't use no one should use it? I don't understand the complaint. Is the hot new 1-man privacy focused app that requires side-loading more accessible?

  • Major US brands sound alarm over rising anti-American sentiment

  • "Millions" of votes means that at the local level the Capitalist party become the third-party.

  • I'm pretty happy with the outcome. The more America is weakened, the better for the rest of the world and the easier it will be to rebuild to something better.

  • I'm using "open source" colloquially. The point is that your specific nitpick about imessage not having some specific text file and license associated with it, isn't important in a world where there doesn't exist an alternative that is nearly as robust and supported. Ultimately you are upset that imessage is run by a corporation (a valid complaint) but there is no indication that the corporation is lying to you about the privacy of their messaging service.

    Jump

  • While in the ideal world a non-opensource app would be a deal breaker, in the current world, there is no indication that imessage has any privacy concerns associated with it. It's not just taking Apple at their word, there have been a lot practical analysis of how the protocol works. Plus the underlying cryptography is sound.

    https://security.apple.com/assets/files/Security_analysis_of_the_iMessage_PQ3_protocol_Stebila.pdf <- hosted by Apple.https://www.douglas.stebila.ca/blog/archives/2024/02/21/imessage-pq3/ <-original authorhttps://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/usenixsecurity25/sec25cycle1-prepub-595-linker.pdf <- Independent analysis of the protocol and implementation.

    Sure you could claim that actually Apple is lying about how they are securing imessage, but that is a lot of effort when they could just take the Facebook approach and straight up admit that they have the ability to read your texts, much easier, and safer legally.

  • Major US brands sound alarm over rising anti-American sentiment

    Jump

  • I am assuming a theoretical world where we have millions of people dedicated to mass action. In that world if those people were committed to not voting for Dems or Republicans and instead voting for any of the various socialist candidates at every governmental level, we would have a fully socialist (albeit different flavors of socialism) society in 6 years.

    Obviously this is fantasy as people are not a collective, and passive participation in society results in "lesser of two evils" voting behavior and neuters any potential boycott pressure. Thus the status quo is propagated.

  • The Only Way to Save Money on Medicaid Is to Let People Die

    Jump

  • The premise while a good headline hook that exposes the intent of medicare cuts, isn't actually true. Price negotiations and literal government mandates to providers also save money. For example, mandating that all vaccines are 100% covered saves money by reducing the number of people who need to use medicare at all. Hell go even further and offer a financial incentive for people to get vaccinated. You will spend a modest amount of money per citizen, but the cost savings for public health will be several times greater.

  • If a huge group of people had the discipline to consume less, they could do even more good by not voting for Capitalists every election. Then they could have their cake and eat it too.

  • Chasing the hot new app that was created by some one-person dev team for "privacy" reasons is a little like chasing amy. You are looking for an ideal app that doesn't exist, so you can't really suggest a better alternative. Instead you are just nagging people for using discord or imessage even though those apps are perfectly fine for 99% of people. Even privacy focused people. imessaage specifically is great for privacy and unless you have strong evidence of an apple installed backdoor for the p2p imessage encryption I'd question why your are against it.

  • Seoul voices regret after about 300 Koreans detained in US immigration raid at Hyundai-LG plant

    Jump

  • Obviously this is all preliminary, and the US Border Control Service has zero credibility, but this actually sounds like they did some investigation and Hyundai was actually breaking the law by importing South Koreans, on non-work visa's and then having them work at their state subsidized plant instead of hiring local workers. Apparently some executives/managers were arrested as well which doesn't fit the normal modus operandi for ICE terror raids.

  • US flight attendants push to be paid when planes aren’t in the air: ‘Most of our passengers have no idea’

    Jump

  • Just tie it in with minimum wage reform that your "paid" hours start one hour before you are scheduled to work, and end one hour after you are "off the clock." Mandate a minimum of 40 paid hours a week for all employees, and no more then 12 scheduled hours within a 24 hour period.

  • Damn that's fucked up. But there is no legal mechanism Trump or anyone else will ever face so it literally doesn't matter.
