It also claimed these websites had seen cumulative downloads of 3.2m in just three months this year - from 28th February and 28th May - resulting "in an estimated loss of $170m".

In other words:

• They assumed that every download was by someone who would otherwise have paid over 53 USD for it, which by itself is an absurd delusion.
• They described imaginary money that they never had in the first place as "losses", which is a plain lie. You can't lose something that you never had.

Given that both these blatant falsehoods match the propaganda that big media parasite corporations started pushing a few decades ago, it seems pretty clear who the taxpayer-funded FBI is working for.

In order to retain our rights to private communications, we have to win every time.

In order to take them away, they only have to win once.

They will keep trying.

Stay vigilant.

A lot of extra work for just 5.8% of extra units, right?

Wrong. Bugs exist whenever you know about them, or not.

Do you know how many of these 400 bug reports were actually platform-specific? 3. Literally only 3 things were problems that came out just on Linux. The rest of them were affecting everyone - the thing is, the Linux community is exceptionally well trained in reporting bugs. That is just the open-source way. This 5.8% of players found 38% of all the bugs that affected everyone. Just like having your own 700-person strong QA team. That was not 38% extra work for me, that was just free QA!

The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join.

the HDMI Forum (which manages the official specifications for HDMI standards) has officially blocked any open source implementation of HDMI 2.1.

Appalling? Yes. Shocking? Not to anyone who has been paying attention.

“Before I knew it, I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic, and so I approached her, and we were at that point chanting, ‘We are not afraid, we are not afraid.’”

Callaghan then said he told ICE officers to take him instead of harassing her. An agent then “came, got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, ‘Are you afraid now?’” Callaghan recalled.

After he said he still wasn’t afraid, the officer handcuffed him before putting him into the back of an SUV. “They came back three times and they asked me if I was afraid yet, to which I replied, ‘Hell no, I’m not afraid of you, and I’m never going to be afraid of you.’”

Callaghan said that he asked if he was under arrest after officers asked for him to hand over his identification and his cellphone.

“And then they said to me, ‘Well, you’re white, you won’t be any fun anyway. You can get out of the car.’”

The raids are part of a coordinated response across the U.S. after President Donald Trump vowed to instigate mass deportations of undocumented migrants.

Response? Response to what? It looks to me more like a military force invading a city and attacking civilians.

Remember how graphics card prices tripled several years ago, and never came back to sane prices?

Sigh.

and potentially to watch US citizens as well

Anyone who thinks this is not being used on US citizens is incredibly naïve.

Isn't Tucker Carlson one of the prominent media personalities that spent years influencing voters to support the political faction that put Trump in power?

Does he expect sympathy now?

For reference, even Deban Stable has been at glibc 2.31 or newer for three major versions now, and another major version is on its way this year. I don't think this will affect many people.

The money will be paid on an equal basis to each member of staff.

I'm excited to see Ladybird developing, but the project accepting money from Cloudflare makes me wary. Between Cloudflare's man-in-the-middle position in a great deal of web traffic, and their similarly invasive position as a major DNS-over-HTTPS provider, they are not remotely privacy-friendly.

I can't think of a reason why this should be surprising. Linux has been running on low-power embedded systems for quite a while.

I don't find the absence of criticism suspicious. The petition makes sense. It aims to solve a problem that affects many individuals and a significant part of human culture.

What I do find suspicious is the sudden emergence of criticism now that it looks like it might succeed. I smell astroturfing and media manipulation.

Somebody please correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't Trump a convicted felon who has not yet been sentenced?

From a Kirkland, Washington, USA health hazards sheet that I found in a quick search:

TIPS TO REDUCE EXPOSURES TO BISPHENOLS IN RECEIPTS:

• DO NOT compost or recycle receipts and other thermal paper. BPA & BPS residues from receipts will contaminate recycled paper.
• Minimize receipt collection by declining receipts at gas pumps, ATMs and other machines when possible.
• Never give a child a receipt to hold or play with.
• After handling a receipt, wash hands before preparing and eating food.
• Do not use alcohol-based hand cleaners after handling receipts. A recent study showed that these products can increase the skin's BPA absorption.
• Take advantage of store services that email or archive paperless purchase records.
• Store receipts separately in an envelope in a wallet or purse.

HAZARDS FOUND IN LABORATORY TESTS INCLUDE:

• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Early Puberty
• Cardiovascular system disorders
• Abnormal reproductive system development
• Hormone abnormalities in children
• Susceptibility to various cancers
• Resistance to chemotherapy
• Diminished intellectual capacity

explicitly authorized law enforcement personnel to obtain Natanson’s phone and both hold the device in front of her face and to forcibly use her fingers to unlock it.

In other words, physical assault.
