Domestic violence is always hilarious. /s

Stage 4 is inoperable and fatal.

Do you know what libgen.is?

Anna’s archive references libgen plus more.

I was under the impression you could still do a cache:url style search, but it seems impossible.

They’re caching them, they’re just not sharing that with the public anymore. I know it has a cache because the Google result shows a bunch of text from the page that no longer exists. That “preview” text is pulled from a cache if the “new” page is resulting in a 404. I was hoping there some way for users to still access it, even if esoterically, but even those options seem unavailable.

The meetup page is still up but Google Startups has been stripped from the image.

Also, the original page still shows up in Google searches, but was not archived on archive.org and I have been unable to find Google’s cached version of the page. Although they obviously have a cached version since the text is visible as a preview of what’s on the page.

Stay classy, Google.

Thanks for the heads up, I thought it was just me and gave up.

I like to think that Balatro is so popular it crashed the payment system, heh.

Probably more accurate to say “Democrats fooled themselves with their social media echo chamber” and really only if you are referring to the national Democratic Party and groups like Correct the Record. Doesn’t really apply to the voters or state-level Dems.

The Clintons and using media to “massage” the message goes back to the '92 election and using satellite feeds back to the campaign headquarters in Arkansas to do things like communicate with their campaign team on the ground at events to say “Hey, can you pan the camera to the right just a little bit, then the protestors won’t be in the frame.” This is well documented by the 90’s documentary film Spin.

So Clinton signed up to use Correct the Record to massage the message on the internet, fooling themselves into thinking that was enough. It’s also why we’ve seen very little progress on making laws to force paid political operatives to have to state that they’re paid advertisements online, because both parties participate in this practice and don’t want to stop. Which is part of why its hard to stop other nation-state actors from doing it as well, because we won’t even criminalize it in our own political parties. It makes no sense that a political ad on television must disclose its funding and who endorses it, but when it’s a sockpuppet online it’s a fucking free-for-all.

Exactly. I don’t personally have kids so I also feel especially out of line telling someone else how to raise theirs. Parenting isn’t easy, and there’s tough questions like “How do I get my child to learn good habits around screen time so they don’t end up addicted to devices built for addiction?” Honestly, I personally don’t know a better way other than loosely (not strictly) limiting screen time enough so that they naturally learn good habits over time, and that unfortunately means you need to monitor screen time. As an adult I noticed a lot of my good habits were things my parents instilled in me in my youth that I hadn’t really thought about, like drinking a lot of water, for one. They didn’t prevent me from drinking soda at all, but they limited my intake at home and made sure when I was home I was drinking lots of water and not just juice or soda, they didn’t try to control me outside of the house when I was making my own decisions… and now I drink water a lot because it just feels normal. It’s a habit they got me into, and because it became a habit I’m left with a good habit in my adulthood. I don’t see how it would be any different in getting a kid to respect screen time as an adult.

God… I wish my parents had done more to monitor my screen time because I’m bad at this shit.

1. The media is talking about this announcement more than the embezzlement, so he has used his announcement successfully.

2. Parkinson’s has a dementia element that he is trying to use as an excuse for why his “judgment lapsed.” This is literally on its face bullshit simply because he can sit there and talk about it. If the dementia was that advanced, he would not be this coherent. He should have been torn to shreds in this hearing over exactly this.

3. The worst people literally have zero scruples, so they feel no remorse hiding behind something like Parksinson’s to justify and excuse their shitty behavior as somehow justified or not worth prosecuting. Always excuses, never able to take responsibility for anything at all ever. Trump really is their Id realized.

Don’t worry, I’m sure Merrick Garland will get right on that.

I appreciate it, but genuinely, the best thing about Lemmy is being in control of how you view your own feed, and so (especially considering I’m fucking red-green colorblind lol) it really is my responsibility to make it readable for myself. Thanks for being a good fellow, regardless.

I need to change my default colors then, because it was way too easy to miss that first link. That’s on me.

The goal of ActivityWatch is simple: Enable the collection of as much valuable lifedata as possible without compromising user privacy.

We’ve worked towards this goal by creating an application for safe storage of the data on the user’s local machine and as well as a set of watchers which record data such as:

Currently active application and the title of its window Currently active browser tab and its title and URL Keyboard and mouse activity, to detect if you are AFK (“away from keyboard”) or not

It is up to you as user to collect as much as you want, or as little as you want (and we hope some of you will help write watchers so we can collect more).

Well, they linked to the releases page instead of the main page for the project, for one.

Personal opinion, I don’t understand why more parents haven’t moved to use Pi-Holes for content blocking. Since you can tailor your own blocklists, it’s not impossible to do, and I’m pretty sure some enterprising folks have already made a Pi-Hole block list for porn and various adult websites.

Further, if your child figures out how to bypass the block, they’re learning valuable skills, if nothing else.

To be fair, it seems like you’re more concerned with overall screen time, and I don’t have a better solution for that than you already have.

Do you do much uploading or want to host anything for friends to stream from you?

A DOCSIS 3.0 modem tops out at 100Mbps upload, while a DOCSIS 3.1 tops out at 2Gbps upload. I know Comcast/Xfinity sucks, but they’ve definitely rolled out 2Ghz download and 2Ghz upload symmetrical connection in some areas.

I agree that 1Ghz seems plenty, but I regularly feel more limited by upload speeds, personally. If upload doesn’t matter so much to you, then that’s the only thing that stood out to me as a difference.

With WiFi the bigger question is if where you live is so big that you need extenders of some type. Even with more modern “mesh” systems, you still often need hardwired Access Points.

If the only WiFi you use is your router, because you’re in a small house/apartment, then you don’t really need anything fancy and an AC wireless router will do you fine. If you need a large area covered and don’t want dead zones, you’ll need proper mapping and setting up of Access Points whether you are using a more modern mesh network or not.

I’m just, you know… putting the idea out there.

Worse, if you search for the username that CNN dug up connected to him, minisoldr, on haveibeenpwned.com and try various emails like, say minisoldr@yahoo.com or minisoldr@hotmail.com, he’s had his account details leaked in multiple breaches. It’s only a hop skip and a jump away from some hacker dumping this guys entire online personal history.

There’s also SimpleX chat and Briar, but I’ve used both of those less than Matrix. They seem to be aiming to solve the last few issues that Matrix has, like usernames and metadata leakage.

I consider Matrix to be closer to an “Enterprise” solution, like what a business or government or non-profit would use for secure communications (literally both French and German governments use Matrix), while SimpleX/Briar seem much more aimed at individuals just wanting control over their personal conversations.

This is why I don’t buy that “targeted” ads are any better or get more interactions than traditional advertising that wasn’t minutely targeted to each user.

Because a lot of the time it results in stupid bullshit exactly like this.

Spin up your own server for best results.

Then you only have to worry about minor metadata leakage.
