I’m a bit behind on it, is i2p still dreadfully slow?

Agreed, I never felt like the software quite got the support it needed. Know it’s not easy, but even basic needs like can we maintain a connection and can the device update itself were not guaranteed.

This seems like a good thing at first and that makes me extra wary.

They did a first pass on banning security cameras many years ago. It was maybe the test bed, I can definitely see that one getting revisited. They only banned two major manufacturers that had kinda already been caught as a major security concern.

It’s why you don’t see hikvision or dahua anymore where they used to be major players.

What really gets me about Conan is that he’s funnier when he’s not actively performing and/or on script. That is a prime example.

Think they got confused by the orange.

Thousands of Onlyfans girls crying out in terror. Hopefully there’s an opt out, but I don’t see how that would make sense for Amazon.

Someone is going to make some money with a packaging forwarding business catering to that market.

The scope of the data is not perfect, but RSF is probably the best option we have right now:

They’ve shared data on disappearances too in their annual reports, but not sure if they have anything ‘live’ there.

They release a yearly report too, the top contenders are usually no surprise as you did expect. For last year, Israel was on top followed by Mexico for journalist killings, with Sudan trailing way behind. China is at the top for putting journalists in prison and there’s no danger at all of them losing the first place spot, with Russia coming in second, but then gets kinda surprising with Myanmar pushing really hard to get that #2 spot.

Was searching for better data and just found this, you won’t like it, but you’ll appreciate the data: https://www.unesco.org/en/safety-journalists/observatory/statistics

Has to suck to have been consistently working for decades and still being known almost entirely for a supporting role you did 40 years ago. Dude even got recast for the sequel.

I’m not trying to tie that to the battery charge or trying to excuse him for that, just kind of a rough go for Crispin’s acting career.

Is this even technically illegal? They’ve done so much to separate themselves from being classified as what they should be classified as that… Insider trading involves corporations and securities, so like what laws are they actually breaking on paper?

I said the best thing, didn’t say comfort. If you’re looking for comfort, you need to wish harder. All we got left here for justice is philosophy and bureaucracy and bureaucracy ain’t helping us right now.

The ultimate justice isn’t any worldly punishment it’s the knowledge that without something to establish true permanence, the impact of any action anyone could take is eventually negligible and everyone is punished the same. The punishment for your crimes is always being eventually forgotten and having the remnants of your life lost to time. For some that might take longer, but regardless of how it might make us feel, they’ll all get there.

Sometimes that can feel like a good thing and sometimes that can feel like a bad thing. Feel like it varies depending on your outlook on life at the moment.

I kinda feel like the best part about being non-religious is the knowledge that everyone faces the same justice in the end. Entropy and all that.

It’s been replaced by the classical names.

So Israel is there because it seems to have been present as a kingdom, but where we might see Palestine now would either be part of Israel, Judah, or the ‘Philistine States’ on the southern end which gets confusing.

With ICE, I am never sure whether I should bet on Maliciousness or Incompetence.

They’re trying to raise 1 million and they’re at 600k now so they’re probably going to make it. My brain is pushing back hard on looking for charity in the realm of a million dollars for a singular family and I’m sure a lot are with me, but the family does seem to have been downsizing before his death and does really seem to have been auctioning off their valuable possessions.

I think the point is that that you don’t have to convince a reasonable adult, you have to feasibly be able to prove it in court while staying within the confines of the law. How we feel about information doesn’t always correlate with how things fit into the rules and sometimes that can be very unfortunate.

I haven’t even heard about it on Discord itself.

Anecdotal obviously, but I’m not sure it’s a big news story on corporate media sites.

The actual chips are farmed out to TSMC, I don’t believe they’ve made any in house so I’m guessing maybe they’ve decided that they’re going to do that sometimes now? But then, even some of their CPUs are made by TSMC so I could be on a very wrong path.

Kim has always been like the biggest late 90s Edgelord.

My vision is failing faster than resolutions are improving and most of the time I can’t even tell the difference between 4k and 1080p. More interested in higher FPS content becoming more commonplace.
