43·11 hours agoIt’s a blockade. Go fishing and the USA will kill you. Try to ship oil and the USA will steal it. From anyone else this would be called terrorism and piracy.

It’s not even their own content. Google took the search results from the sites they crawled and scraped.
Lawmakers will make exceptions to allow E2EE for their own communications and those of the very wealthy.
Remember how, before the internet, intelligence agencies by default didn’t know what anyone was saying to anyone else face to face or by mail, and had to actually work to find out? The country didn’t fall apart. Why is the standard now that everything must be handed to them on a plate? Did they just get lazy?
Not just the tech industry. A huge proportion of the US economy is made up of betting on AI. Like the crash of 2008 (but worse, some predict) it will hurt everyone but the richest, who will become even richer.
If there’s one thing I know about Americans it’s that when they say “bullshit” they mean “utter poppycock, twaddle and codswallop.”
Or when he thought Portland was a war zone because he saw it on Fox News?
If it discourages Trump from coming to London, I’m sure most Londoners would be fine with him staying deluded.

Have you seen these billionaires? They absolutely can. The myth of their competence is pure propaganda.
Also, they like corruption because it offers many opportunities for those with enough money to pay. And they like oppression of workers because it provides a ready pool of cheap labour to exploit.
They’ll be looking at Russia and liking what they see, because they don’t see themselves being the ones working for pennies and being sent to die in Ukraine. And they all think they’re the smartest guy in the world (“why else would I have so much money?”) so they don’t see themselves being fucked over by Putin either. For them Russia is the promise of doing whatever you want, taking advantage of whomever you want, and getting whatever you want.
What a coincidence that the MAGA USA’s policy towards Europe is almost indistinguishable from Russia’s!
The font was chosen in an effort to make documents easier to read for the vision impaired.
So It’s Republican policy that the government must not, even in the smallest way, make life any easier for disabled people? And the government must not do nothing and leave in place something that already makes life easier for them, but must actively intervene to make it harder? Of course it is, but what the fuck is wrong with these people that they dedicate their entire life to getting into government so they can punch down and hurt others? How have they not even accidentally stumbled into being better than the worst they can be?
The aging sea lion enables the Stephen Millers to go about their nasty business while everyone is looking elsewhere. That’s one way he’s dangerous. The other is that he’s a threatened malignant narcissist with dementia and diminishing impulse control, and one of the world’s most powerful armies.
First you need to put the non-rich in charge and prevent them being bought off by the rich. That’s the hard part, but not impossible.
Until version 8.8.7 of Notepad++, the developer used a self-signed certificate, which is available in the Github source code.
That doesn’t sound wise.
It depends on their relationship with the social media companies. There’s a good chance companies like Meta have already given the authorities a lot of data on their users. US law enforcement might already know about some of your accounts based on your identity, and then claiming you have none might not work well.
I wouldn’t mind so much if they were giving their own arms and legs, but they seem to be giving ours.
They’re probably counting on people eventually forgetting what they did. People can forget quickly.
That’s been the thinking for the last couple of decades at least. But it can’t continue if people can’t afford new hardware.
For this kind of bad news, the answer is capitalism. All over the world governments serve capital and not the people.
