I think the best part of the article (besides the decision of course) is the following:

“A Strike 3 Holding investigation found that 47 IP addresses belonging to Meta were used to torrent 2,396 of its videos a total of 6,008 times between 2018 and 2025.”

If videos are being downloaded more than once, it’s hard to argue it’s just for model training. lol.

"Netanyahu said Israel is continuing to operate in Lebanon against the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah, and that Israel “has full right to self-defense, and we will exercise it to the full extent necessary.”

Meanwhile, the Lebanese Health Ministry said an Israeli airstrike on the village of Zefta killed seven people Monday, including a Syrian child. Eight people were wounded. Another strike on the coastal city of Tyre killed five and wounded eight, some of them members of the Lebanese Red Cross, the ministry said."

Thankfully that child and members of the Red Cross were murdered in self defense so Israel can breath easier. /s

That I agree with. Local politicians are more likely to cave to pressure than the US house and Senate. I should have been more clear on my original post.

Wow, happy to hear that worked!

I wish I knew. Don’t get me wrong, I have several times contacted both house and senators in my state. I’ve gotten one response out of probably 10 letters. I find the “contact your representative” method to be challenging when voters are up against massive amounts of bribery and a two party system that forces voters to vote either R or D.

Representatives don’t give one fuck about their constituents and what they have to say. They only care about what corporation and billionaire paid them last. And given the 2 party system in the U.S., they don’t have to care about getting voted out either. If they are a Republican in a red district, they can do whatever they want and get voted back in and the same goes for the Democrats.

The ONLY peaceful thing that will save America is getting money out of politics. Until that happens, and good luck with that, your representative will continue to wipe their ass with your concerns.

Ready to defend with strong words!

“We will officially communicate the consequences that this lack of responsibility on the part of the Russian Federation will have for the diplomatic relations between our countries, as well as the next steps at the European level regarding sanctions packages."

“Google says fingerprinting is not a security vulnerability”. That is a very google thing to say.

Good point. Population usage should be taken into account.

Should be divided by the population. Unless you are exporting electricity, your production will be based on population. China has 4.2 times the population of the US so they actually produce less renewable energy per citizen than the US.

On that same note, Finland produces 3X the renewable energy per citizen compared with the US.

Last Republican for sure. AOC and Bernie are still respectable.

Ultra wealthy people don’t make their money through income but through the loophole of taking loans against their stock. That’s what needs to be taxed.

Reminder that the Finnish brand Jolla is a great alternative for hardware. They are shipping their second batch now. Got my confirmation today.

I’ve had at least a dozen dreams of trying to text someone during an emergency and I’m unable to do so. I keep fat fingering the buttons and it won’t send.

“The backdoor targeted SSH servers by hooking into OpenSSH’s cryptographic functions through the liblzma.so library.”

Not exactly academic in this case.

“On Sunday, while on a hunting safari with us in South Africa’s Limpopo Province, Asher was fatally injured in a sudden and unprovoked attack by an unwounded buffalo. He was tracking it together with one of our professional hunters and one of our trackers. This is a devastating incident, and our hearts go out to his loved ones.”

Go fuck yourself Coenraad and Vermaak Safaris. Unprovoked my ass. You were trying to murder the Buffalo. Also, stop calling this shit hunting. You can’t lead a millionaire douchbag with a gun out into a ranch with a tracker and call him hunter. Are you going to pull the trigger for him too?

“Such tension is especially rife in rural areas, despite the end of the racist system of apartheid more than 30 years ago. Most private farmland remains in the hands of the white minority, while most farm workers are black and poorly paid, fuelling resentment among the black population, while many white farmers complain of high crime rates.”

That last sentence sounds familiar. Gee-whiz, I wonder why the crime rates are so high?

Well the head of the EPA called climate change “a religion” so that ship has sailed for the US.

I’m almost positive they don’t see the irony in calling climate change a “religion”, while worshipping trump and pretending to be Christians, but it is on the highest level of irony. Poetic maybe? Whatever the highest level irony is, this guy nailed it.

Congrats on playing “life” in hard mode and getting ahead. And props to your mom.

Two questions:

1. Do you have a relationship with your dad?
2. How did you stay out of the drugs/violence growing up?
