Career politician trying to buy votes with empty words.

one for installing an EV charger in her garage

and one for an unpermitted rug on her balcony.

Ahhhh… Fuck this HoA.

HOA industry? Fuck that noise.

That reputation has entirely been created by the media frenzy over busting the worst kinds of criminals.

Oh they’re all using the same technology? Yeah of course they are, because that’s the technology that works the best. It has so many fucking use cases.

Funny that the media frenzy is hitting a fever pitch just as we most desperately need powerful tools for opposing fascism. Almost like that’s not really a coincidence.

Is about to explain why AOC voted the way she…

Sees the source.

Never mind.

They have to afford that avocado toast.

I think it would depend on how much attention it gets. Given that both MAGA and Progressives want this out there (although I bet MAGA won’t like or believe what they see if it DOES come out), it could be dangerous for ANYONE to vote against it, and interesting to see who does.

My guess is

• Centrist media tries to cover it as little as possible and everyone hopes the story goes away. (Hopefully Elon’s antics and both progressive and red cap media make this difficult to the point of absurdity)
• Congress (Mike Johnson) tries to quietly shut it down in way that’s not obvious why nothing ever happened and the doofuses on the right don’t understand who’s responsible (somehow blame Biden). We need to keep telling them “Your boy Mike kept the vote from happening. Why?”
• If Congress IS forced against the will of the establishment to vote on it, they’ll try to make it as procedurally confusing as possible, or make noises about how they are going to vote on it, but not for a while and then they just never do.
• If it passes in spite of all that, Trump won’t comply and no one will hold him accountable and MAGA probably eventually WILL move on to other conspiracy bullshit and this will get left in the dust.

It’s infuriating that the ignorance and stupidity of a huge chunk of the country is what keeps enabling these bastards.

Their explanation for why it can’t be on Android is that the nature of Android push notifications is such that they (the developers) would need to maintain a database of device IDs that could be tied back to physical devices and potentially be used to deanonymize which users received which alerts.

To me, this sounds lazy and like something that could be mitigated with End-To-End encryption.

The cruelty is the point.

This, potentially.

Except Bezos is known to be a reptile.

I mean I’m here to do just that.

Do you have a plan to change Democrats?

I can tell you how to change Democrats and not voting for them won’t work. You don’t have to like it, but we ALL have to live with it. It’s not just you and your principles on the line here.

https://runforsomething.net/ or STFU. Literally lives are on the line and being mad at the math doesn’t change that or wash the blood off your hands when Republicans literally kill people and destroy lives. Sorry not sorry. Hating me for saying so doesn’t make me wrong. Hating Dems for predictably being what they are and doing what they do doesn’t mean they’re not the ONLY weapon we have to defend ourselves and others against Republicans. That sucks, I hate it, but I’m not going to hurt the world and the people around me by giving into that and making objectively bad decisions and encouraging others to do so. In fact, I’m going to be here to call you out for it.

If you’re actually doing something to change Democrats OR have a realistic idea of how to start an actually relevant third party in a country with first past the post voting, you might have a leg to stand on saying that, otherwise seriously STFU, I will die on this hill and come back for more.

Is there a list anywhere of lawmakers and organizations that need to be specifically called out for their hypocrisy? If any of them show up, they should be made to feel unwelcome.

I thought Musky boy wanted to SAVE the Earth from humans and that’s why we need to go to Mars??

“No one voted to deport moms,” said Vanessa Cowart, a friend of Ms. Hui from church.

Yes, you did! We could have told you! We knew! The fact that you would never in a million years listen, or pull your head out of your media bubble and your ignorant ass rural “guns, gold and god” community long enough to ingest and process what everyone who’s paying attention in the real world knows, doesn’t change what you did! Not understanding what you’re doing, willful ignorance and group think and magical thinking are not a god damn excuse. You voted for fascism, you got fascism. The fact you don’t understand fascism or the concequences for the nation of the impact of your ignorance or what you were actually voting for (because the media you ingest tells you stupid stories instead of helping you understand reality, but EVERYONE WHO’S PAYING ATTENTION KNOWS THAT), doesn’t mean you get a pass on the consequences of your actions.

Having done cyber security consulting for space startups (which are ALL DoD adjacent), the worst perpetrators of bad security practices, shadow IT and poor data hygiene are… drum roll…

The business guys in senior management.

What happened with Hegseth and Signal wasn’t a shock to me. If you put someone like Hegseth in charge of something like the DoD, it’s exactly what I would expect to happen.

Because Lemmy is like social media and Matrix is like Slack and Discord and they both followed the conventions of their predecessors. You’re welcome to go take it up with the devs on Lemmy.ml.

I saw a Youtube comment the other day calling for Trump to throw away the constitution, declare himself king and execute judges who don’t enact his will. It had likes.

I mean… it’s probably Russian bots? Right?
