'The Woman Who Lays For a Living!' Jeanine Pirro Rants at Stormy Daniels After Spending Day in Trump Court

@br00t4c Would Pirro not rant regardless of the events of the day? Is it not her entire shtick to rant, I imagine indignant, with no real reason to be, but so self entitled and self indulgent that it kinda works for her.

I expect says some bitchy things, get some clips for all that agitprop (agitation propaganda), and this is explicitly lib agit prop

once you identify it as such, it doesn't just lose any sway or power, it loses meaning altogether in my opinion

worst offense of traditional economics the unbearable undeniable bullshit is inexcusably boring

not.a single person has a problem with non-sense; we have developed information organisms that preform long-term cataloguing, so academics can catalogue our failure to do anything

perfectly fine when it is entertaining but traditional economics is simple concepts that fail to build a model of reality that is insightful or even just coherent.

There is no argument to make against obtaining capital, and using the growing number of tools available to the hacker, engineer, or revolutionary.

The goal being to create larger and therefore more powerful organizations, using experimental and untested techniques, sure, and then we can refine these highly fit organizations of people that are designed for their effect on other organizations of people within the same ecosystem of organizations of people.

Generations of cop-a-ganda in the form of Law and Order have people thinking cops solve problems. Let alone always get the right guy, finish the story within the time limit, and simple morals.

But no beyond that, people just don't understand that almost all of what police do is clean-up. Its not designed and won't protect you, it will send people to take pictures of your families corpses.

Since University I have contributed to many different open-source projects under many different keyboard-names (people who contribute to potentially controversial software understand)

Stupid court cases over my ability to publish hate speech will not stop me

My priorities remain opening free educational resources for open-source hardware+software hacking communities for woman

I have open source 3D printer filament extruder designs that would cost no more than 400 EUR instead of 7000 EUR

ekis,
@ekis@mastodon.social avatar

I will be challenging myself to do better at collaborating with others to make quality resources, education, and meaningful ethics that doesn't do free work for corporations and call it a hack-a-thon; instead we will build ways to collaborate better, make things cheaper, more free, accessible, and most importantly create a community so it persists and grows.

Reach out if you wan to submit your story to be considered among our first hires-- we want to be able to support artists and scientists.

Someone asked whether I ever played Doom. No, not really. I told that I've never liked first person shooters and then it hit me. I never liked them as there's too much going on. In fact, I've never been a big fan of any types of shooters, the only exception being Cannon Fodder. Now, with the new-found autistic perspective, it makes perfect sense. Sensory overdrive all the time equals no fun. How about my fellow autistics, any fans of shooters?

@LehtoriTuomo @actuallyautistic Doom wasn't a first person shooter, the technology it used was actually a illusion of 2D game design.

Its the reason you can't look up or down to aim, like you can in say Half-Life.

But it still makes people nauseous, I thankfully never had that issue but I had friends who did.

A reminder: people who think the protests on campus were remotely violent

In 2014, white supremacist were in an armed stand-off with federal police. Literally having guns pointed at each other

You would assume this would have led to arrests or punishment of some sort?

Nope, they were all allowed to leave, and no one was ever punished

The lesson: you are allowed to be a white supremacist, destroy property, threaten federal police

But you can't ask your country to stop funding genocide

@ramsey I'm happy to see you settled on a GNU license

Everything I work on, hardware and software, is GPLv3 (despite the criticisms)

Stallman gets a lot of flak, and some of it is warranted

But as far as important things to come out of the hippies from the 60's I would have to put the open source concept and eventual licenses as one of the greatest achievements of computer science

It wouldn't exist, its that simple

Beyond a shame not in other sciences, closed source firmware on sequencers?

ekis,
@ekis@mastodon.social avatar

@ramsey If two schools buy two different versions of the same sequencer, but they have firmware differences.

The replication problem plaguing all sciences becomes pretty obvious.

How can you know if your firmware is the same as the other schools? What if it has a bug?

And the cost of the equipment being a fraction of the product is just upsetting. 500k for automated syringe on GCMS? Fucking hell

@ramsey It was a massively bad sign that the biggest opponent of open source software was allowed to buy the biggest repository of open source software.

Everyone who worked, or specifically owned github, and sold it to Microsoft are some of the biggest class traitors to ever exist.

They could have sold it to anyone else, but it shows how either they truly didn't understand their role, or their greed was more important than basics of computer science.

ekis,
@ekis@mastodon.social avatar

@ramsey They also ruined the search functionality of Github, you can't get more than a few pages of code based searching (and have to be logged in)

They added a marketplace

And none of their changes have addressed any serious problems with open source communities: like governance

Instead they went the way of trying to collect payments. Which seems premature when the governance system is completely missing

To me what they have done feels like being served red kibble, then tell us its good

Again for people (racists), complaining about falling birth rates:

The birth rate for women over 40 is not falling. The birth rate for women over 30 is not falling.

What's happening, is girls 15 to 17 are having fewer babies. Kids are having fewer kids.

Also, this is an interesting way of saying that "Teen pregnancy is down, due to sex education and contraception."

In 1991 25% of 15 year olds gave birth before they turned 21. That's bad. Now it's 6%. That's better.

@mekkaokereke Migration isn't natural? Then why do birds, and all those other animals that do it,.. you know do it, migrate.

Are they un-natural?

Should we murder them? Together? Camping together, telling scary stories. Boo! I'm an immigrant. But she is American, what!?

Its already hard enough as it is, and US if you haven't noticed likes picking random spots on the map and making them hard to live in.

Israeli soldiers are now using drones to broadcast sounds of woman and children screaming for help to lure people in to murder.

https://euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6271

This is the army the US and many EU countries are actively supplying with weapons, training, protecting, and in the case of the US about to send much more money than the space program spent yearly before we privatized it.

If you think voting for the wrong president leads to fascism, then you simply are not qualified to use the term.

@ekis@mastodon.social avatar

It is certainly telling how the US and its allies defended the mass murder of civilians, regularly stating “Israel has the right to defend itself”

But when Israel does something as shockingly antagonistic as firing 6 missiles at an Iranian Embassy in Syria, the only response clearly indicates that Iran doesn’t seem to have the same right

Selectively enforcing international law undermines any legitimacy it had, and sets the stage for an escalation

So, Israel is not allowing Turkey to do airdrops of aid

Meanwhile, RAF does the largest airdrop of aid to Israel

And I'm not supposed to conclude that:

Allies like US and UK are allowed b/c they require political cover from their populace for arming and defending Israel's genocide in Gaza are allowed to give aid?

Can't be b/c UK is exceptionally good at it; they just airdropped aid into the sea, leading to 12 people dying trying to recover it

List of three articles crawled that are all reporting on Turkey being banned from doing airdrops of air in Gaza; as result embargo of limited number of items is imposed in reciprocity

The President in particular is very much a figurehead—he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it

Oh, I didn't write that, Douglas Adams did in the 70's

Soo been obsessing over matrix & theory

Thinking options for most efficient application using concept of a merkle tree for a matrix; still requiring efficient merkle verification (tree=type of graph)

Saw merkle field= each layer, merging into node

merkle tree isnt only classico binary

But low-res; so horizontal+vertical row hashing=faster & then found A sci-article; just 1 on subject & 0 libs

Goal= (+) merkle matrix library

Expanding on the Merkle Field, instead of just dealing merging horizontal rows, we merge vertical rows and then you have two routes to verification, and still few verification but still not very resolute. In order to verify a single block without the row you are required to do both verification steps. Or wait untill you have a horizontal row or vertical row and simply do one verification step.
The real magic is when you take the binary Merkle Trees to represent vertical and horizontal rows, and then merging those two trees into the root node for a single merkle matrix. Now what I think would be interesting is both using 4, resulting in 4 roots, and you only need a single 1 to validate any block quickly within the matrix. And then different members of say a network could have different trees to offer for validation. Most importantly, I want to take this and add an extra dimensions (probably more than 1), and I know about verkle trees but I don't want a simple tree, I want a sparse matrix ideally, or a 3D matrix, using at least 3 trees, combining into a single root node. This could be used for verifiable time series data. What I plan to do is store essentially a mutable torrent inside each block in the matrix. And changes are represented over time as each "stack" is added to the matrix to make it 3D (or more)

Noticed the popular project "undetectable-chromedriver" has been abandoned

the developer opted for "cdp" alternative called "nodriver" & described as the "successor"

But having hard time not seeing it as step backwards

Only methods I can think to make it "undetectable" is transparent proxy or patching browser

A reason given is performance

Soo did a rewrite in b/c it compiles. I plan to move towards Webdriver b/c supports top 5 browsers /w 1

If you have not 『Parable of the Sower』by Octavia Butler; it has never been a more perfect time to read this sci-fi Published 30 years ago, in
'93 and set in '24

Set in an facing collapse, massive climate migration; in a way few other novels succeed, it now reads as strangely prophetic

Her deep understanding of a broad the sciences, brilliant prose, and complex world create a picture with depth and each layer finely crafted

Must support people coming from crossing the border

They are the ancestors of, as says, first peoples

We don't even have to rely on an unreliable religious text

There was no border back then, obvio they should get movement through any of the and well, going by our example any of it
