the reason is that its free surveillance on the rest of the region. USA wants to keep an eye on countries they seem hostile and their interests (oil).

as a technician myself, I hate this. I truly don't understand why any tech would ever do any snooping. I fix dozens of devices a day, I need the password so I can test the new part and make sure everything is working as it should be after the repair. I'm far to busy and apathetic to give a shit what people have on their devices.

side note, for those of y'all with Samsung phones, there's a maintenance mode that will allow the tech to test everything after the repair but not access any data on your device.

is judging people based on what others have done not the whole point of Catholicism?

no actually. don't let Epstein distract you from the fact that this is quite literally a fascist takeover of our government. yes, trump is a pedophile, but weve known this for years, there is no new information from the Epstein files regarding trump. the time to be angry about him being a pedophile was years ago, the time to be angry at a con man organizing a fascist takeover of the seat of our federal government is now.

can you actually shut the fuck up right now. women and minorities have there lives on the line and all y'all can talk about is this. if kamala wins we can protest her stance. if trump wins and we protest his stance he's already said he'll deploy the national guard. y'all are so smug about ruining your chances of helping these people

there's a .cursor directory in there with a rule specifically telling it to not mark generated code as generated. I can't see how that could ever cause any issues /s

are you perhaps a wasp

I'm a programmer. I write hundreds of lines of code a day (of varying levels of quality ofc). I also fix technology (phones, laptops, desktops. tablets, etc). I'm probably one of the most "tech-savvy" people I know. I very rarely type faster than 70 wpm. it's just not necessary for what most of us are doing.

I completely agree. I work in IT, a lot of times I can see that people have taken the exact actions I would, just with no success, until I do it. I always say that it's like the boss walking in a room and suddenly everyone stops misbehaving.

yep it's pretty horrible. any time gender issues are brought up there's dozens of comments saying "what about the men" and completely missing the point

there's something in computer networking called Cisco discovery protocol and I used to teach new interns about it by making them find every Cisco access point we had in the building.

yes, there was verified csam in multiple portions of the documents resulting in the data hoarders community removing magnet links to torrents of those files. obviously good move by the mods of that community but ridiculous that it's necessary due to the dojs incompetence.

I got banned from hinge/tinder for the crime of... being trans.

turns out if enough terfs report your profile as "misrepresenting your identity" you'll just get banned, no questions asked.

2 days ago the "experts" were telling us how the shooters planning and brains were why he got out of the city so easily. now we're being told that he just happened to have the gun, silencer, fake id, and manifesto all on his person? not a chance, feel bad for this guy who's obviously a scapegoat and just the first similar looking dude they found

it's almost like being conservative comes with almost inherent traits that make someone undesirable as a partner. lack of open mindedness, critical thinking, any form of emotional maturity...

there's a reason many conservatives in dating apps hide their beliefs. they know its a red flag for many more things than their "politics".

are we really calling awareness of gender issues gender war? how do you expect gender issues to be resolved if no one's allowed to talk about them?

turns out there's some pretty major issues with the gender binary, but I'm not sure how you expect to fix that without talking about it. it's fair to say capatilism is part of the root cause but reducing it to solely that is a little disingenuous.

my choice would prob be a 15k. at that point I'll just do a half marathon, thanks.

the rotten heart is the gop. they've been mastering propaganda since the 60s all while defunding public education to make it harder to see through. that's why things are the way they are.

don't tune it out. there are people being deported, people afraid for their rights and their lives. people not paying attention is how we got the Holocaust

im gen z and I've smoked out of a mcnugget does that count for anything
