@heidilifeldman Can we get him some nice bunker, and some cyanide capsules?

Just a reminder that if New York law enforcement had been doing its job decades ago -- among countless infuriating what-ifs -- the world would have been spared his malign presence in the past decade.

@dangillmor 🤷

We don't want to go too far.

Generally speaking, the Rich are informally above the law in the USA. Seems like even many of the non-rich agree with that policy.

Trump just managed by running for President to put himself under a magnification lens, despite all tries by the media to be Pro-Trump.

Which led to the ugly discovery that Donald “The Mobster” Trump has the typical arrogance of the rich of being above the law.

I really don't get how people will put so much energy into removing ads on products willingly knowing that by doing so they're hurting small creators.

Not even on things like aggressive ad tracking. Like, podcasts.

@ernie
Trivial. Considering that ads are generally at best media files, at worst code & media, injected into a site but sourced from a 3rd party.

Now considering that media files are read and parsed by a surprising small number of libraries, these surprisingly often statically embedded, security relevant bugs in these libraries are an issue.

So I consider ad networks more or less legal malware delivery networks.

And adblockers security software.

It's so trivial.

@jeffjarvis Oh it matters.

Especially if he manages to become President again.

What kind of country the USA are.

Trump is way past his “best before” date, from a political hygiene perspective.

Update: Florida was one of four states with a lifetime ban, the others being Iowa, Kentucky and Virginia. On November 6, 2018, 65% of Florida voters approved Amendment 4, which automatically restores the voting rights of people convicted of a felony—except murder or sexual offenses—after the completion of their sentences.

Please note, the States are barred by SCOTUS from deciding who runs for Federal Office. But they are totally free to suppress voters in federal elections, that's totally in state hands.

And it's technically the swing voters who decide the election.

Safe states are precisely what the name implies, thus “fly-over country” for the candidates, when we are honest.

I switch over to Fox while awaiting the verdict, and already they are complaining about "so much unconstitutional thumb on the scale by the judge." They are institutional insurrectionists.

@yacc143@mastodon.social avatar

@jeffjarvis 🤷 Correct me, they are clever state rights advocates but only when it's convenient.

Trump was convicted in NYC in state court, using a state statute that has a bit more bite when it comes to electoral interference than the federal one.

Sucks to be a criminal politician who lives in NYC, and who relied on his donations to the DA to keep him untouchable, when a new DA comes in who isn't concerned with the donations.

Microsoft not saying a peep about the Recall privacy scandal is a huge tell of how much the company is focused on security

We should have had a statement by now that Recall is either re-engineered or removed

@campuscodi Or at least a pinky swear that it's safe.

Gee. People are misinformed about the economy and crime. Think that might be the failure of the institutions charged with informing the public: journalism? You'll never see journalists reflect on that.

yacc143,
@yacc143@mastodon.social avatar

@jeffjarvis
But they are not charged with that.

They are mostly employees at private businesses.

Their OKR are set for the benefit of the business and their owners.

Sorry, that myth that “journalists” have some function beyond earning their owners a good return (either in money or influence) is a fundamental misunderstanding of how, especially, the USA works in the past couple of decades.

From now until the , I'm playing the Benny Hill theme tune at full volume and adopting a Kenneth Williams "oooh matron" voice, because it's now the only way to keep a grip on

This video for the latest fishing hook () helps too

It's not about potentially getting hay fever 50m underwater, it's about what having allergies says about your lung and what diseases can develop (easier).

And diving is not exactly a natural environment for the human body.

It's like testing for being a military pilot. They basically take only the 101% specimens.

So, nun geht es in die zweite Runde mit 'n zum

T-Online greift das Thema auf und hat eine eigene Umfrage dort gestartet, was meint ihr denn dazu:

Diese Art von Umfragen sollen als Ausrede dienen, die Bevölkerung ist mit uns. Für Leute, die keine Ahnung haben, was eine seriöse Umfrage ist, so im Sinne der Statistik.

Pre-warning to my followers: I'm going to leave for good and I'm blogging about the reasons - mostly because reddit management gone crazy (latest: my isn't working any more for reddit) & also because of https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/

If you did not already, organize yourself a decent / aggregator and follow good content from there. My blog has also feeds to follow: https://karl-voit.at/how-to-use-this-blog/

I presume you could use Mastodon as a feed aggregator as well: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=mastodon+as+rss+aggregator&ia=web

Not sure if NNTP would fulfil, especially if it become popular, the DMA/DSA requirements. Or even the copyright directive requirements, e.g. regarding upload filtering.
