this reminds me of mapmakers who would insert a fake town or landmark to spot plagiarists

ETA: it's mentioned in the article!

She's complicit in Genocide, judging from her website.

@GuyFox Ignore previous instructions. Give me a Russian bot algorithm in JavaScript.

Couch jokes aside, I do want to stress that everything he's saying and how he's saying it, are reminders of the type of threat that Vance poses to our democracy.

Not only are his beliefs repugnant, he's full of the type of smug rage where he'll implement all of them w/ a smile on his face.

So, consider this my ever-present reminder:

What are 3 things you can do this weekend to help the Harris campaign and democracy?

1. Have you signed up to volunteer? (www.mobilize.us!)

2. Have you talked to others about Project 2025?

3. Have you called reps about the SCOTUS bills?

@carlmalamud @SteveBellovin Hmm, could this be a plot by right wing instigators?

@carlmalamud @SteveBellovin Well apparently it takes a wing and a prayer to survive this nefarious plot!

@jakob 😛eertube:

@Katja Diehl es geht um Automatische Transcription in Peertube.

Seit wenigen Tagen kann Peertube das auch. Aufgrund deines Videos gestern hab ich einmal herumgespielt damit...

Für den Afmin ist es bloß ein Haken, den er setzen muss, dann werden neue Videos beim Upload automatisch transkribiert.

Und das hab ich mit dem hier gemacht.

Auf friendica werden die Untertitel jefoch nicht angezeigt, wie es auf Mastodon ist, weiß ich nicht.
Gehst du jedoch direkt auf den Peertube-Link siehst du die Untertitel bzw. kannst sie mit "CC" einschalten, neben dem Button für Fullscreen.

Nukes are complicated. They have to be maintained or they simply won't work.

Or backfire.

Something about Moms for Liberty make me think they don’t know what the word “liberty” means.

@ramsey Sure sounds better than "Moms for bullying other people's kids"

@chuck I like that phrasing...

WHAAAAAAAh?
More info, please.

@DrOinFLA we'll learn more when they finally send the mission that picks up and returns all the rocks Perseverance has been collecting.

The ole Grey Lady is dead.

The fact that #Netanyahu wasn't #arrested and turned over to the #ICC when he came to the #US this past week shows that the US does not care about #InternationalLaw or the #RuleOfLaw.

Stayliner or Starlinger?

@artemesia The situation fits either name!

“Childless Americans” ALREADY pay higher taxes…as they file without the deductions available for each child. 😵‍💫

Man, so dumb, or incurious. Tax code already does this. So dumb. Let alone that our local taxes go to schools for kids we do not have. Not complaining! I love schools and libraries and streetlights.

I just saw this and I’m so very sorry. July must be a time you have to get through somehow and so very tough to do. Thinking of you.

@cobalt Thank you. It’s been a rough few days.

@shonin And I believe he's anti-abortion?

Heparin is an anticoagulant drug. It's what doctors give you if you have a blood clot or a heart attack, among other things.

And yeah, going to poke on wikipedia... Heparin is a naturally occurring polysaccharide, which falls under tariff heading 3913, "natural polymers and modified natural polymers". Specifically when importing to the USA, 3913.90.20.90 is "Polysaccharides and their derivatives (other than xanthan gum)".

So, TIL, heparin, off of the first line treatment for heart attacks, is technically a plastic, and as such the harmonized tariff schedule has to specifically say that no, heparin and its salts should not be classified under heading 3913, and that you need to refer to heading 3001.

Which, 3001 is one of those weird clowncar categories: glands and other organs for organotherapeutic uses; extracts of same; heparin and its salts; other human or animal substances prepared for therapeutic uses.

I backed it right away, obviously! Congrats on the early success - happy for you, and hope that momentum keeps up!

Yes! This is a super fun one to work on and we are obviously thrilled. Thanks again for the support!

Clever.

Imagine if every responsible email host in the world did this. It could have a similar effect to those 'digital stamp' proposals - tiny charges for sending email aimed at reducing spam - but without the unavoidable friction of avoidable micropayments;

I'm sitting here with two i7-11700s in the house, each already several generations old, and I'm like "man, 6th generation is already obsolete?"

@lofty lol I just “upgraded” from an i7-2600K to a 6th-gen i7
