Why nobody has made an open source ink jet printer design like reprap, I will never understand. The printer industry seems primed for disruption with all their bullshit and their half century old technology.

Is it any surprise to anyone that Black Cube is an Israeli Firm founded by Israeli intelligence officers. I wonder when they are going to send agents to goad the Reuters journalists into making anti-zionist or anti-Israel comments like fellow Israeli Spy company NSO group of Pegasus Spyware fame did to AP/UofT journalists at Citizen Lab so they could discredit them as antisemites.

I mean Black Cube is the company that was hired to defame the woman who accused the rapist Harvey Weinstein and the journalists who were reporting on that case.

Literally neighboring Lebanon manages it

Basically as long as you don’t link your bank account with your social media accounts in any way, you’ll be fine. Basically don’t put your real name on your social media accounts, which no doubt you don’t do anyways. Don’t for example add bank information to say a Google account linked to that social media account.

The bank only sees the information you provide it, which is where you send your money and where it comes from. A bank cannot rat you out unless you are sending or receiving money from something illegal in your country.

A government investigating you on say social media might try to obtain information about your account to eventually tie said account to a real person. For example, you might use a Gmail to sign up to a queer site, and that google account might have bank information if you have Google bank information. Then the government will use said bank information to identify you. Just don’t put your bank information on anything linked to your social media accounts.

So she is in a Gazan Hospital. The same Gazan hospitals that Israeli bombing has now overwhelmed and whose blockade is preventing humanitarian aid from entering. Hey maybe the UN was right in calling out that a total siege is illegal.

Have you like looked at Japan or any communist country. Japan is 62% non-religious and is highly social conservative. Czechia is the least religious country in the world but they also obviously have a conservative politics.

But friction burns are so hot 🥵🔥

Let’s be real about this. It’s a pretty obvious inference that he’s done sexist and gross shit before. Just that this time, there isn’t no he said she said to hide behind. No wonder he thinks it’s social assassination, he’s been getting away with this shit, why shouldn’t he now?

It’s kind of wild reading about turn of the 20th century progressive activists. Everything that they advocated in 1900 is still considered radical today, 100ish year later. The American south was a hotbed for literal communism back then.

It is often argued that Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press, was the most influential man in history. The printing press is the root of practically everything that we take for granted today. From republican government to basically all technology ever.

Nah the Arborist subreddit basically was unanimous in thinking the trees were essentially going to die from the severe topping that was done.

In Canada a guy randomly went in and stabbed a gender studies professor and two students in class at uWaterloo. Broad daylight, two knives random people in a classroom of 40. Was a previous graduate.

Counterpoint my hobbies are fishing, birdwatching, kayaking and wildlife photography. I am the pinnacle of boring.

Considering that WeChat does video and audio calls it’s pretty reasonable that wechar asks permission to use the microphone. I think you’ve been caught up in fearmongering. China isn’t going to invade Taiwan any time soon. There has been little to any real indication they would or even could. You’ve gotta understand that the CCP is authoritarian but no government is that competent to be keeping tabs on a random Americans conversation that they had at some point at some time who may more may not be ever visiting China. I’m not saying China is run by good people, I’m saying no government is competent enough to actually 1984 anyone in real life.

It’s like the social credit system that doesn’t really exist. The CCP put out a vague instruction to have a credit system based on social stuff because many Chinese people don’t have banks thus don’t have access to regular credit systems. Random cities and provinces came up their own systems with random rules and regulations. Then basically all of them were walked back because they were stupid and random and overbearing, and the CCP delegating their vague orders gives them plausible deniability in that they blamed the stupid systems on local government and played the good guy when they ordered them walked back.

Brandon Eich was fired because he was constantly giving money to politicians and groups that were advocating for the banning of same sex marriage. Also funding the campaign of congressman Tom McClintock, a certified piece of shit, Who denies climate change, is against LGBTQ rights, and was among the republicans trying to overturn the 2020 election.
