Bold of you to assume it’ll get better

My boss is awesome. He realizes that his job is mostly to make sure we’re able to do our jobs effectively. It really feels like I’m working with him, not for him, which is how it should be.

More Than 10 Years Later, the Senate Torture Report Is Still Secret (theintercept.com)

THE SENATE SELECT Committee on Intelligence submitted its 6,700-page “torture report” about the CIA to the White House in April 2014. More than 10 years later, the full report remains secret after a federal appellate court dismissed a lawsuit I filed in the hopes of forcing its release....

Nah, those guys are above the law. It’s not like anything happened the hundreds of other times the government has been caught violating the constitution or acting illegally.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

As a Texan, this is very surprising. Great job, Grand Jury.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

Unfortunately it’ll likely get thrown out since the SC ruled that the police don’t have any obligation to protect people.

Supreme Court shifts power over federal regulations from agencies to judges (www.politico.com)

The Supreme Court on Friday killed off a judicial doctrine that has protected many federal regulations from legal challenges for decades — delivering a major victory for conservatives and business groups seeking to curb the power of the executive branch....

Yeah, things will have to get worse, but when there’s no peaceful means of fixing the problem…

I’m not advocating for violence, I can just recognize that they’re guaranteeing it. A much better resolution would be to amend the constitution to allow votes of no confidence, but that’ll never happen.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

Things will have to get a lot worse before people rise up, but it’ll happen eventually.

Iirc, interpersonal communication between cats is done at a frequency that humans can’t hear, which is part of why they yell at us.

We have one cat with likely brain damage (he got super sick as a kitten) who tries to communicate with us on that frequency, so it looks like he’s silently meowing.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

Yup, I do a lot of 3d printed projects and use these all the time. They’re great

You could also just keep it closed and set it to do nothing on screen close. Then enable WoL.

My work laptop lives under my router, and I just remote into it daily.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

There’s a quota, so unless you have a few hundred million dollars laying around, it’s a futile fight.

They can if they’re a member of government

How long would it take to create a Pyramid today?

Just a shower thought. Seeing how these structures took decades to build in their times, and that too entirely with manual labour, I was wondering how long these architectural marvels would take to be built in this post modern era with the help of our technological advancements....

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

Slavery wasn’t used on the original pyramids.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

Every day it becomes more of a prophecy.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

A hate crime is when the crime intentionally targets a specific demographic.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

It’s a CYA thing.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

Look into the servarr suite. I just add what I want and it finds and downloads it for me.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

And it actually cleans between your teeth

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

Those elk just hired a body guard.

Not having legal precedence is hardly a reason to dissent, Thomas.

I’m pretty sure the 13th amendment had about the same level of legal precedence too.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

That’s why I don’t understand why a ton of hotels have no bathroom vent fan, and photoelectric detectors within feet of the bathroom door.

Parents are responsible for the actions of their children. She’s the reason he owned the gun.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

Their complaint is that he isn’t sharing it.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

I wonder why NBC lied in the title.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

The title says he banned it, but the article says he’s planning on banning it.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

The first paragraph of your link says ‘plans to ban’. The title says he has banned it.

Israel Has “Systematically Violated” Laws Regarding Civilian Harm, UN Finds (truthout.org)

Israeli forces have demonstrated a pattern of systematically targeting densely populated civilian areas across hundreds of attacks in Gaza that likely violate international wartime laws, the office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) found in a report released Wednesday....

Congress sells weapons, not the president. Congress can even prevent a veto if the sale is large enough.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

The US government in a nutshell.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

But that’s only 33% accurate. Relish is pickled fruits and vegetables and white bread isn’t brioche.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

Huh? Outlook gives you two clear options when attaching a document. One is to attach as a copy, and one is to share it.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

That’s what salaried positions are supposed to be like. You’re getting paid for the job, not the hours.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

That’s why I used the qualifier “supposed to be”

How might I go about either rotating one mirrored display but not the other, or setting up a second display such that the mouse does not move over the edge and must be switched with a hotkey or such?

I know this seems like two unrelated questions, so let me explain why I would like to do one of these two things: I recently got a drawing pen tablet with a display, which works fine, except that I am left handed, and my wrist keeps hitting the side buttons. The driver allows me to flip the pen inputs, but not the actual...

Ping me about this tomorrow and I’ll dig into win11 settings for you.

I mean, he’s 87. he probably forgot about the first time.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

No, he shouldn’t, but that’s because Christianity is one of the most successful scams in human history, not because he’s old.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

People can just choose to stop drinking. You do know that, right?

My wife is a tattoo artist, and she hands a decent amount of them out. But, really the point is that it has a QR code to her Instagram.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

But it’s the 24h news cycle. They have to say something before the other guys!

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It’s a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

Using an internet connected OS past EOL is definitely not privacy friendly.

My wife’s 91 year old grandmother used Mint without any issues whatsoever. All she needed was solitaire and the internet.

But, a lot of people do look at something different and just throw up their hands and say, “I don’t know how to use it,” without ever trying.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

Cinnamon desktop (Linux Mint) is actually pretty damn close to the windows desktop, so the change is mostly just cosmetic.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

No, he said EOL and beyond

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

I’m honestly surprised China has a minimum wage.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

Not having been around something that would obviously infect him is a very, very bad thing.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

$340m is absolutely nothing when you consider that the corporations are pulling in hundreds of billions yearly.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

The large sums of money are supposed to be punitive. They’re supposed to hurt the offender enough that they won’t do it again.

Unfortunately, the sums are rarely high enough to do that, and usually get cut several times in appeals.

A better method would be going after the individuals responsible for it directly, instead of the entire organization. But that’ll never happen.

They’re brown, so they’re not actually people

Venus has an atmosphere that’s 96.5% CO2. For comparison, earth’s atmosphere has 0.04% CO2.

Now, earth will likely see an increase in that number, and surface conditions will get a lot worse, but humans will be dead long before we even get close to venus.

Life is very tenacious, so it’s highly unlikely that humans will wipe it out completely with climate change.

At the least extremophiles (organisms that exist in conditions that life shouldn’t be able to exist in, like deep sea volcanic vents) will survive, and evolution will do it’s thing again.

Working to combat climate change has nothing to do with saving the earth as a whole; it’s too save the conditions that are favorable for us to survive in.
