The whole Trump presidency was filled with Trump abusing vague powers because when it was written, they assumed that the president wasn’t a asshole.

This new law plus Trump is a cluster fuck.

My bidet does not shoot at my whole ass. It only laser focuses on certain parts, which I dry with toilet paper.

Nah. Our stupid ass government only recently started hiring hackers who smoke weed. But even then, there’s too much stupid red tape.

“Both the NSA and the DOD have a ton of talented hackers, yet when it comes to actually performing disruptive cyber operations, for some reason we as a country are just frozen and scared,” Caceres says. “And that needs to change.”

He points to ransomware actors, mostly based in Russia, who extracted more than a billion dollars of extortion fees from victim companies in 2023 while crippling hospitals and government agencies. North Korea–affiliated hackers, meanwhile, stole another $1 billion in cryptocurrency last year, funneling profits into the coffers of the Kim regime. All of that hacking against the West, he argues, has been carried out with relative impunity. “We sit there while they hack us,” Caceres says.

And also

It also doesn’t help that the Republican Party have outright praised Russia, which means they’re already inside.

I type my search into the post and then usually some kind person finds me a link and calls me a asshole

Oh you’ll see. It’ll be super massive. It’ll be amazingly punishing!

It’ll be like… 0.2% of their gross.

Then it’ll spend years in legal battles to become 0.05%.

Without outing yourself… Can you share where?

Or even a population size.

In the big cities I’m in, they’ve become deserts.

People use Amazon instead of the mall because they can still afford the Temu-level garbage Amazon sells.

I mean a few reasons.

• Pricing is better on Amazon vs mall. I can get a Gangsta Luffy T-shirt at $12 vs $20 at hot topic
• Inventory is significantly bigger. Outside of clothes, I can’t imagine not finding the exact online version and compare
• Malls are kinda ugly now. Many are indoor and just wall to wall commercialism.
• People suck. Naked dude stealing stop signs and angry Karen about the take a dump on the escalator.
• Driving vs ship to door.
• Both have temu-level garbage, but it’s cheaper on Amazon.

Oh God. This is continuing to give attention to stupid.

When MTV started making reality tv show and encouraged morons to be morons, where most of us laughed, all it did was empower them.

I dunno. Steam did it well enough. I was buying cheap games for years. I could get a kick ass GOTY game for like $5 while GameStop was still selling it used on consoles for $20.

During the first year (Jesus I can’t believe I’m saying this), my colleagues in Ukraine thanked us for the work we had and disappeared. I saw him post in a gaming blog comment about Elden Ring dlc so I think he’s alive.

Most of the world wants to be left alone.

Lemmy: why aren’t people using Linux? It’s so easy

Also Lemmy: webp huh?

Lemmy folk forgetting that not every person cares enough to switch OSes.

If you ever work tech support even at a basic level, you’ll see. It’s not even boomers or genZ. I helped a grown ass human who was my age at 40yo how to install a Firefox extension.

That could have been me a few years ago. I was still using teamviewer up until 2020 to connect to my desktop from my laptop. It’s so handy.

Fortunately it was when I started learning about open-source solutions

Samsung appliances. Fridges. Washing machines.

Got them as part of the rental unit. They’re very new looking. But every month is some new mess up.

God I would replace them if I owned this place.

After the first 100, the other 300 kinda don’t matter.

spanked one 100 times

One 100 times or 1 time, but 100 times?

This line of work basically put me in the position that is the subject of commercials that try to convince suburban dads that they need a huge truck in case one day their family goes on a fictional camping trip to the middle of a swamp.

This is so on point.

So many defenders go, “It helped when I had to haul shit to the dump” or “I bring wood back to build my shed”.

What about the other 95% of the year? Because I rent a van to move shit and I’m happy taking the bus.

I can’t imagine this to not be the case. Every bartender I know is tweaked out of their mind. Even the ones who see bartending as an art.

I’m not knocking their skill set. But they’ll be a rare breed if they think about bartending AND food safety at a high level enough to think about the cleanliness of ice.

Introducing Colonel Oleksiy Morozov to the staff on Monday, Zelenskiy said his main task was to ensure that only those who see their future tied with Ukraine join the agency - his first comments since the agents were arrested.

“And, of course, the agency must be cleared of anyone who chooses not Ukraine for themselves or discredits the state guard service,” he said on Telegram.

Smart.

Putin’s government is all about subterfuge.

Don’t hire anybody who is in it for the money.

He has a new book?

I love John Romero and read all the books about Doom/his life.

Can’t wait to check this one out!
