AssPennies,

It’s not that we’re uninformed, it’s that we disagree.

AssPennies,

route my traffic to a different country where I don’t live in and them viewing my activity is potentially less of a problem

Depending on where you live, and where your service resides, this could be tricky.

In the US, for instance, if you’ve chosen a provider in Australia, then a FVEY agreement could be in place to share that data. This gets around the technicality that intel gathering is not occurring on US soil and is not being done by the gov.

And again with the US, if you’ve chosen a country that’s not amiable to sharing user data, the US could very well be justifying that country as a target for pilfering data anyway.

So, that would leave choosing a service provider within the US, which should need to go through the FISA courts for any access to citizen data, but who knows after the Snowden revelations.

I guess that’s the state of privacy if you’ve got a nation state that’s targeted you for surveillance. Only way around it I can think of is data to be encrypted in transit and at rest, and only you control the keys. But that’s not something that’s going to happen with something like mainstream email anyway, too inconvenient for most folks (and you also don’t know if your recipients are security conscious either).

[Question] Consumable List Trouble (lemmy.world)

So, I don’t know how to explain this well, but I have this generator that has a “char = {[contestant.consumableList]|[host.consumableList]}” thingimajig, and my goal is to get it to have the output have no duplicates of either an item from the contestant list or from the host list, but I’m still getting duplicates...

AssPennies, (edited )

Try this:


<span style="color:#323232;">[char1 = char.selectOne.titleCase] gives the worst hot take about [char2 = char.selectOne.titleCase], and [char2] subsequently kills them over it.
</span>

Here you’re creating a placeholder (aka variable) for the character you’ve selected so you can reference it later on. I also added titleCase so the character name gets capitalized.

EDIT: The above does do random, but not unique. Here’s a working example I wrote:

perchance.org/41mlspb7hk#edit

Code:


<span style="color:#323232;">title
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  Let's do this
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">output
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  [names = chars.consumableList, ""] [char1 = names.selectOne.titleCase] gives the worst hot take about [char2 = names.selectOne.titleCase], and [char2] subsequently kills them over it.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">chars
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  Chaz
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  Karen
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  Thad
</span>
AssPennies,

It did both, but not unique. I added an edit with a more robust solution.

AssPennies,

Rule 2: Be kind and friendly.

You’re putting me off on participating here, and I’ve been nothing but kind and friendly. And you?

AssPennies,

What the fuck did I just trip upon?

That shit is hilarious!

Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish (infosec.pub)

Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....

AssPennies,

Subterfuge at work, a fun subject to study.

Some of my favorites from a declassified WWII “simple productivity sabotage” manual:

  • Insist on doing everything through “channels.” Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.
  • Make “speeches.” Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your “points” by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences.
  • When possible, refer all matters to committees, for “further study and consideration.” Attempt to make the committee as large as possible — never less than five.
  • Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.
  • Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.
  • Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.
  • Advocate “caution.” Be “reasonable” and urge your fellow-conferees to be "reasonable"and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.

When I first saw these I was like goddamn, psyops got to my executive director!

AssPennies,

OSS’s Simple Sabotage Field Manual, 1944

There’s a link at the top for the full pdf. And do note, OSS is Office of Special Services, the WWII precursor to the CIA - not Open Source Software lol.

AssPennies,

OSS’s Simple Sabotage Field Manual, 1944 (declassified)

Good memory, it was the precursor to the CIA.

AssPennies,

He’s not our guy, buddy!

AssPennies,

I read about some smart tvs computing a hash of what’s on screen to phone home about, in attempt with figuring out what content a user is watching when that content is 3rd party controlled.

We need some privacy laws up in this mother fucker.

AssPennies,

Dead at 3am? They’re already eating your face.

AssPennies,

Goddammit Leroy, alright everyone in!

AssPennies,

I didn’t realize it till now, but I think this is how I pictured all bathrooms in Iowa looked.

I figured that’s why presidential candidates always stumped there first: Everyone feels really sorry for them due to shit like this.

AssPennies,

No I hate MS. I won’t ever forget the pain that was developing edge cases around Internet Explorer (fuck IE 6, that shit was the worst).

AssPennies,

TempleOS has entered the chat.

AssPennies,

Fucking gyrenes, where’d all my crayons go?!

AssPennies,

If you buy OEM laptop, how would you sell subscription windows with it?

“SomeShittyAntivirus free for 12 months with purchase of this laptop!”

AssPennies,

A speaker has never been ousted, either… till now.

AssPennies,

Not the term limits, the donations. The supreme court already rule via Citizens United that money is free speech, which is how PACs and dark money became legal. So to undo that, either the court has to reverse it (yeah right), or there has to be a constitutional amendment (which even the SC can’t overturn).

AssPennies,

“If we’re going to continue to have clowns like Matt Gaetz as part of the Republican conference, as part of this Congress, then you’re going to have to have rules in place that prevent him from doing his charade. Every single week, every single month, where he goes out and he does his thing where he creates some manufactured crisis” that he then uses to raise money, Graves said.

Can’t see the forest for the trees! Where do you think Matt learned it from?!

Supreme Court to consider whether Americans with Disabilities Act 'tester' can sue hotels for non-compliance with the law (www.cnn.com)

The Supreme Court will consider the strength of the Americans with Disabilities Act on Wednesday when it hears a dispute over whether a self-appointed “tester” of the civil rights law has the right to sue hotels over alleged violations of its provisions....

AssPennies,

Ms. Smith, who has not begun the wedding business or posted the proposed statement for fear of running afoul of the law, sued to challenge it, saying it violated her rights to free speech and the free exercise of religion.

So she was previously selling “design” services, just not specifically for weddings.

AssPennies,

when he goes to take a shit. That’s when he’ll do it.

I’m pretty sure people aren’t allowed on their phones in the middle of court session That’s when trump shit his depends.

AssPennies,

Lie with dogs, get flees.

And as the case is with the freedom caucus: Get in bed with them, get crabs (and gonorrhea, genital warts, syphilis, and whatever else Matt Gaetz has).
