  • London knife crime vs viral content about London crime

    Jump

  • This is how crime reporting in the US works too. There isn't a connection really between crime rates and news reporting, the news media broadly choose to focus on certain types of crimes because they serve the interests of their owners and/or are popular with their audiences. There's decades of polling showing Americans largely have never had any idea what the actual risks are of crime.

  • cops do not rule

    Jump

  • Inherent in the phrase "jury trial" is the presumption of a legal system carrying out a legitimate legal process. I think jury trials can only be mob justice when that legal process functions illegitimately (e.g. by violating the rights of the accused).

  • You must tell me, please!

  • "Pedo guy"

  • Noam Chomsky advised Jeffrey Epstein how to dodge the pedo accusations

    Jump

  • That Hiltzik guy in the email is conveniently now the "crisis manager" for the ex-Microsoft executive who was exposed in the Epstein files for using Epstein to extract a $14 million dollar golden parachute out of Microsoft when he got fired for Windows 8 sucking. It's incredible how interconnected the Epstein class is, it's a small world for them.

  • Trump Goons Publish Naked Photos in Major Epstein Files Fiasco

    Jump

  • The descriptions I've seen said there are at least 40 nude pictures of Epstein victims and that some of the subjects do appear to potentially be teenagers. It sounds like the DOJ released CSAM, yes.

  • There isn't really any reason to think the Fediverse won't be used for AI training, if it isn't already. Everything is in the open here, it's easy enough to scrape all the data.

    No wonder Reddit has turned to shit

    Jump

  • Eventually the reddit thread would probably balance out, and incorrect information should get downvoted and replaced by corrections from people who know better.

    This seems optimistic.

  • How much more "safer" is data on a phone with LineageOS vs manufacturer rom? If you have 20+ character password on a Lineage OS phone and cops take it, they can't get in, right?

    Jump

  • They can likely still get in. There's leaked slides from Cellebrite showing everything they can crack and under what circumstances. From what I remember GrapheneOS is really the only version of Android they actually can't get into.

  • What's up with "Plex Servers"?

    Jump

  • I have a Plex server guy. He is one of my oldest and best friends although we don't get to hang out much anymore. I know he has other friends he shares the Plex server with but I have no idea who or how many. I've been using it since Plex was new, not sure how long exactly but more than a decade. I occasionally buy him nice hard drives because the library is ridiculously huge and always growing. As someone who loves weird and obscure shit, it's my favorite streaming service by far and he's my hero for running it.

  • Trump Sparks Fresh Outrage by Sending ICE to the Olympics

    Jump

  • When I first saw this headline I thought it meant he was going to make them compete in the Olympics.

  • Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • It doesn't take a million shell commands or sketchy scripts to deploy Windows without a Microsoft account. I literally did it just last week. I think you are being pedantic and moving the goal posts, the claim was that you need a Microsoft account to use Windows and that is not true. You may be coerced into using one depending on the version and install method but that's not the original claim that was made.

  • Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • You do understand that official setup requirements is not the same thing? Whatever Microsoft tries to force during a setup process doesn't change the fact that I am literally using Windows multiple times per week without any Microsoft account so claims it's impossible are untrue.

  • Ukraine's Zelenskyy says his repeated warnings to Europe feel like 'Groundhog Day'

    Jump

  • You inflation adjusted a number that was already inflation adjusted. Whether they are a tankie is irrelevant.

  • Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • This is insane. I am using Windows without a Microsoft account regularly. It is 100% possible. I hate Microsoft too but it's completely ridiculous to go around spreading obvious bullshit like this.

  • It would be nice if that was a choice but SMS is unavoidable.

  • Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • This is not correct. You can use Windows without a Microsoft account.

  • Ukraine's Zelenskyy says his repeated warnings to Europe feel like 'Groundhog Day'

    Jump

  • This is such a weird response. You are really making yourself look bad here. Why can't you just accept that you inflation adjusted a number that had already been inflation adjusted? It's an easy mistake to make and not a big deal but instead you are coming back with this bizarre non sequitur ad hominem.

  • Gov. Newsom denied entry in USA House due to pressure from White House

    Jump

  • Those two statements do not mean the exact same thing. Trump being less shitty than Hitler doesn't make Trump good, you are definitely misunderstanding the saying. It's about trying to achieve goals, and the importance of knowing when you've maximized the achievement possible without ruining your chances of achieving the goal by pressing further. It doesn't mean "I can imagine something worse, therefore this terrible choice I do not want is now alright with me".

  • Gov. Newsom denied entry in USA House due to pressure from White House

    Jump

  • I don't understand your Hitler example, it does not seem to be an example that fits the saying. How is Trump good to Hitler's perfect? Or is it the reverse? Either way doesn't make sense to me. Normally that saying is used in a context where someone is potentially getting some of what they actually want, because getting all of what they want is not feasible, and continuing to pursue all of what they want risks them not getting anything they want. In your example you seem to be using it like it means you get a choice of either a negative outcome or a worse negative outcome, which is not correct.
