  • Bill Clinton faces being held in contempt of Congress after he and Hillary refuse to testify in Epstein inquiry – US politics live

    Jump

  • And why would Clinton need to speak before CONGRESS? He's not a sitting president, in any sort of government position, or AFAIK involved in anything really close to government at all.

    If he's a suspect, have the fucking police interview him.

  • QWERTY Phones Are Really Trying to Make a Comeback This Year

  • Can I PLEASE have my early Droid pop-up keyboard back!!

  • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents'

    Jump

  • I kinda wonder.

    Sexual abuse is often more about power than about physical gratification.

    Child abuse of this nature is pretty universally decried as one of the most heinous crimes.

    So after these rich pieces of shit get away with breaking all the other laws on the books, are they going after kids for the thrill of feeling untouchable by any standard of law and morality?

    And to further that, I wonder if there's almost some sort of sick initiation that involves this sort of abuse. Once you're in "the group", they can out you for all the sick and illegal shit you've been involved with so you can't turn on anyone else. This also follows tactics commonly used by Russia etc.

    Given all the stuff that's happened and turned out to be projection, what's the chance there actually was some sort of pizzeria based child-dungeon, but operated by the same people throwing out accusations?

  • I think it's the other M.

    Money.

    Money and power.

    Once they got those, it's an addiction they'll pursue over anything else

  • This?

  • Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards - X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it?

    Jump

  • And this is also why we NEED mainstream Linux mobile (phone) devices. Google is actively locking down their ecosystem. Both Apple and Google see customers as walking wallets

  • Bard performs song of disruption

  • Needs more bagpipe!

  • All my new code will be closed-source from now on - Marc J. Schmidt

    Jump

  • Personally, I kinda like companies that have an "open source contract" with a fixed date (although such could use better enforcement).

    Have a period of time when the product source is closed, and get money for it. After a certain amount of money or time, release the source to the product. Then move on to something new, rinse, and repeat.

  • China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible

    Jump

  • One thing I've been impressed with China for is moving towards greener technologies. They're a leader in solar, their EV's are apparently very good (not that I can get one here to verify that), and they're pretty dogged in their pursuit of nuclear energy.

    Meanwhile USA is apparently still in "let's overturn regimes and take over other countries for the oil companies" mode

  • Catholic Paper Calls JD Vance a Moral Stain for ICE Victim Smear

    Jump

  • A lot of Catholics seem to consider themselves the "uber-Christians", with the whole Pope thing being their religious king, such as it were.

    And the ones like that are absolutely terrible at actually following the lessons of their religion too. Now they've got a new "king" so I guess the Pope doesn't matter as much

  • Ken Jennings on Doomerism/Nihilism

    Jump

  • They have been, they will be too, but I'll also say it's gotten a lot more blatant over time. Jan6 should have been the moment where people really woke up

    It'll be even more blatant as the next election comes closer, assuming they don't pull the "martial law no election" shit which seems to be the current aim.

  • ICE agent shooter’s own cellphone video undercuts Trump administration's account of Minneapolis killing

    Jump

  • Yeah I'm pretty sure their take on it is "her gay leftie lover made him feel threatened"

    Aka setting the "don't worry, she wasn't 'one of us' " distinction for the MAGAtts

  • Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life

    Jump

  • I think that the cloud system might be needed to initially pair the speaker to a network+account, but apart from that no. The speakers in my media network are not allowed Internet access.

  • Trump pulls US out of 66 international bodies, including key UN climate treaty

    Jump

  • Pretty sure the rest of the world is also still getting hurt by the current shit...

  • ICE Agent Kills Woman, DHS Tells Obvious, Insane Lies About It

    Jump

  • Honestly at this point there type of things seem like more than just murder. It's fucking execution

  • Minnesota could prosecute the ICE shooter. Trump can’t pardon him.

    Jump

  • At this point having other prisoners know he was ICE might be just as bad for him. I don't the modern SS is popular amongst inmates

  • Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life

  • That kinda sucks, especially since even the older ones work with Home Assistant etc directly now

  • The White House updated its website to describe the January 6th attack

    Jump

  • Oh yes, totally their responsibility and not the fault of the Republicans in power now, who were the same ones that rejected the other impeachment votes. But yeah, must be on Biden...

  • YSK the Venezuelans community in the US is not representative of Venezuelans as a whole.

  • In other words

    If a mob boss murders a drug dealer in order to help expand their "territory": they're still both evil criminals and the mob boss should still be charged
