  • German media likens US border patrol official’s coat to ‘Nazi look’

    Jump

  • Tired, worried, so very very angry and so very very powerless and impotent. I can keep writing to my reps and getting form responses, but nothing I can do seems to matter.

    The fucktards want us to become violent so they can escalate and seize power. Protests don’t seem to be doing anything besides give them more opportunities to murder more innocent people and I don’t have the power to affect the economy in any meaningful way.

    It’s like watching a loved one destroy their life through drugs, you want and try so hard to get them help, but can’t force them to do anything. We’re at the part where they have ODed at least once and you hope it’s enough to get them to change their behavior but instead deep down you know they’ll be dead within a few years.

  • Yet another "which distro should I choose?" Post

    Jump

  • Normally I’d say go Bazzite if you want easy NVidia support.

    Since you’ve got some “other things” then an immutable distro might not be the way you want to go. In which case I’d check out Nobara or CachyOS. I really like CachyOS

  • Clarence Thomas gives bonkers reason for SCOTUS to tear up settled laws

    Jump

  • With the US 2 party system and first past the post voting system practically nothing would ever change then. Which does mean one crazy wannabe dictator can’t do as much damage. But also means getting progressive policies pushed through would also be impossible.

    But I do like that idea in theory, once we solve our 2 party problem then something like that would make a lot of sense. I don’t know how we will ever solve that, figured for sure after January 6th and COVID that a real 3rd party would gain traction? And yet here we are.

  • Clarence Thomas gives bonkers reason for SCOTUS to tear up settled laws

    Jump

  • Ironically I don’t disagree with him but for completely different reasons. It’s pretty obvious he wants to use this as an excuse to do whatever he’s paid to do by the biggest bribe.

    But Jefferson pushed for vast changes and “revolution” (not the violent type which honestly feels pretty naive) every generation. Because why should the rules and ideals and commitment of the dead hold back the present and future.

  • Opinions on Jurassic Park as a Zoo

    Jump

  • Was always why I loved the books so much, every single step highlights poor management and going cheap for profit sake after having invested so much money in the cloning technology.

    It’s like buying a brand new super car and then throwing the cheapest used tires you can find on it.

    Dr. Wu tries to push Hammond to use slower, calmer, easier to contain dna modifications but Hammond ignores him, Wu can’t quit cause he was sniped as a post-doctorate and can’t publish any of his work so every employer would see a worthless resume

    Muldoon demanded better weapons to handle the dinosaurs if something happened, Hammond doesn’t let him have anything more than a single tranq firing rocket launcher because “he doesn’t want the dinosaurs to be hurt”

    Nedry was the lowest bidder but then they refused to give him good specifications and requirements “due to secrecy” so of course the code had bugs, which he was not supposed to be on the hook to fix for free, but Hammond went and slandered him to all of his other and future customers, basically blackmailing him till he came and did a ton of free labor.

    Dr. Harding, the only veterinarian, (who also was the father of Sarah Harding in Lost World), wasn’t allowed to dissect any of the animals to study their physiology, so when they tried to sterilize them with radiation they had to guess where the reproductive organs were.

    John Arnold (hold onto your butts) was overworked and the only person who know how to use the systems, creating a single point of failure. He also was ignored when he insisted that the park needed more testing before they open the park but was ignored by Hammond, because it would take too much time. He also said they relied too much on automation, but was ignored due to costs and cool new tech.

    Hammond was an asshole who portrays the typical tech bro attitude even though he’s an old man. He was mostly a fundraiser not the brains behind the project. His former partner who was the genius behind the cloning tech (and Wu’s former teacher) died of cancer. But even during the fundraising he was a total fraud, they had made a pigmy elephant and used it as a demonstration of the cloning tech, but it actually wasn’t a clone or any dna modifications that made it. And on top of that it had a shitty temperament and would get sick if people touched it. Dude was a total snake the entire time. And he ultimately dies at the end by a bunch of Compys after the park has been mostly restored.

    Are both 2 solid choices from blue states.

    Some folks also like 291 distillery in CO, they’re ok. Not as good in my mind as the other 2

  • I don’t feel like the 4000 series ever really got to easily available at MSRP prices.

    But on top of that I know a lot of folks skipped the last couple generations because the scalping was outrageous.

    I hate it though. They’re not wrong that the companies selling or making GPUs could easily solve the problem, but they just don’t care.

  • DeepSeek collects keystroke data and more, storing it in Chinese servers

    Jump

  • Keystrokes don’t have to be in a text field or input. That’s my point.

    If I’m on say google. And I type anything into the field it’s definitely capturing it. You know this for no other reason then it would have to be with autocomplete as an option.

    Keystroke capturing is the same as keylogging, aka anything typed even if it’s not into a place where you would assume it’s being seen by the app. Aka, if I had an app open in the background and was typing in my password, it would see and capture that.

    They’re completely different things. While the privacy issues of US large tech companies are abundant and awful, there is a large difference between keystroke capturing and capturing input via fields. Especially when you’re agreeing to allow them to process and transfer or even sell that information.

  • DeepSeek collects keystroke data and more, storing it in Chinese servers

    Jump

  • Not usually. Keystroke info is different than text input, like if you didn’t click onto any field and typed it would only be captured if keystroke are all being grabbed. It’s especially scary if you keep the app running in the bg and then type something and it still captures it. Not saying they’re doing that, but the privacy policy says they might.

    The rhythm part is annoying, it’s commonly used to ID people even through things like ad blocks and dns blocks. Could also (in theory) be used to capture what people are typing just by hearing how they type.

  • DeepSeek collects keystroke data and more, storing it in Chinese servers

    Jump

  • Collecting keystrokes is very different from collecting text inputted into fields. Keystroke rhythms is even more alarming as that is often used to identify users despite them using privacy settings, or used to collect what’s typed via audio collection.

    Your argument that this is no different than other apps is complete crap. Don’t trust any app that collects that information
