  • We already saw the cognitive dissonance of people gurgling the last words "COVID's a liberal hoax" as they drowned to death on their own bodily fluids filling their lungs. Literally no amount of reality can sway people who just won't accept it.

  • Elon Musk Calls on Trump to Pardon Ex-Cop Derek Chauvin, Who Murdered George Floyd

    Jump

  • IIRC, Chauvin made the plea deal on federal charges so that he would do his time in the relative safety of a federal prison.

    Which would mean that if he gets pardoned on federal charges, then he would have to serve out his remaining state time in a state pen... the very thing he wanted to avoid. He would probably be dead in under a month unless he spent the next decade or more in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day (like he did in his pre-trial detention).

    Which would be a crying shame, of course...

  • The legend about the origin of the word sabotage is that French workers being put out of a job by bosses installing new machinery would drop their wooden clogs (called "sabots" in French) into the machinery's gears, thus damaging it.

  • Torrent Galaxy Still Accessible

  • For a nanosecond, I somehow understood the headline as "Audio Galaxy Still Accessible". Which really would be impressive.

    I only just realized that my search plugin in qBittorrent isn't giving me any results from TGx.

  • Trump Organization sues Capital One for closing bank accounts after Jan. 6 attack on US Capitol

    Jump

  • Reminds me of Farage getting de-banked.

    It was later revealed that Farage's account was closed in part as Coutts felt that his beliefs and values did not align with theirs. In an internal dossier, Coutts wrote that he "is at best seen as xenophobic and pandering to racists" and considered a "disingenuous grifter".

    1. Buy a share in a publicly-traded insurance company.
    2. At a shareholder meeting, ask if the company has factored increased political risk, vandalism, arson, third-party damage from arson, etc into its premium calculations for: Tesla owners; Tesla showrooms; Tesla charging stations; car parks that even have Teslas in them; any other conceivably exposed company or individual.
    3. Repeat with every other insurance company.
    4. Repeat said concerns in every other possible medium (is there a Lemmy community for insurance actuaries?)
    5. Sit back and watch people and businesses scramble to avoid "the Tesla tax" of ever-increasing insurance premiums.

  • The clue is in the word: drop sabots/clogs into things.

    Sabots/clogs are:

    • organic
    • renewable
    • recyclable

    And they store, rather than release, carbon. The eco-friendliest sabotage is sabots!

  • Zen: On one machine, Flatpak. On the other, AppImage through AM. Firefox: Mint-maintained version from Mint repo (deb).

    I can't remember the exact differences between Firefox upstream and Mint version. But I believe Mint began maintaining their own deb at a time when upstream Ubuntu was only offering Firefox as a snap, which Mint is against, and Mozilla hadn't yet begun offering their own deb repo.
