We’re going to miss Lina Khan’s FTC action and the Dem FCC, among so many other things. Watch for those internet bills to go up and get more confusing. Goodbye EPA. Farewell DOE and our children’s future.

Some do like it, but I’m with you; I skip the logo’d clothing.

A band is not the same as a luxury fashion brand.

One is exploited by massive corporations, gets a single digit percentage of the profits they generate, gets known by word of mouth (or T-shirt) among fans, and creates a piece of culture.

The other is a (usually massive) corporation, exploits low paid workers, is a status symbol for the rich and the people who want to appear as rich, and sometimes they make an item that could technically be considered a piece of culture.

Advertising for and/or showing your support for them are very different things that imply different things, for different reasons.

Wearing band merch implies support for their musical stylings, a connection with the creative output of the band, and possibly their world view.

Wearing a logo-festooned piece of couture clothing implies wealth and status, and (often) complicity with sweat shops.

While the two previous paragraphs seem to be similar, because of the first two paragraphs, they are quite different.

I’m always hearing about enhanced privacy laws that only apply to government workers, leaving the rest of us out in the cold. In this case, even those laws are being violated, but when its us being tracked, its fine and dandy.

You can make your own decisions, but if you just grab any random arguments, you’ll find a reason to doubt everything.

Agreed. Especially if your source is Dessalines. 🙄

Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili has refused to sign into law a bill approved by parliament last month that rights groups and many opposition politicians say drastically curbs the rights of the country’s LGBT community.

The so-called “family values” bill was pushed through parliament by the ruling Georgian Dream party on September 17 in an 84-0 vote, which was boycotted by the opposition while rallies were being held by protesters outside the parliament building.

In line with the provisions of the Georgian Constitution, Zurabishvili refused to endorse the bill and returned it to parliament without written comments, the presidential administration **confirmed **to RFE/RL on October 2.

The move highlights the dramatically polarized political landscape in the Caucasus nation ahead of national elections in October.

Parliament speaker Shalva Papuashvili, a co-sponsor of the bill and member of the Georgian Dream is now expected to sign the bill into law and publish it within five days.

Important excerpt:

“Introducing a scanning application on every mobile phone, with its associated infrastructure and management solutions, leads to an extensive and very complex system. Such a complex system grants access to a large number of mobile devices & the personal data thereon. The resulting situation is regarded by AIVD as too large a risk for our digital resilience. (…) Applying detection orders to providers of end-to-end encrypted communications entails too large a security risk for our digital resilience”.

So people were speeding on these roads. Only 1% of drivers obeyed the speed limits according to residents. But change is weird, and especially change that reminds us that cars aren’t the only thing people use to get around the city, so let’s only talk about removing the calming features and get back to our dangerous driving again!

Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee features coconut ice cream with swirls of caramel and red, white and blue star-shaped sprinkles. The flavor is inspired by a viral meme, in which Harris, during a speech at the White House, uttered the now-viral quote, “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?”

Filing taxes is how we get refunds for overpaying in the US.

Paying taxes is done for us, through withholding out of our paychecks (don’t need a SS#, as a TIN will do here), sales tax on purchases of goods, and in other ways, like connected to housing, etc.

Four-rd?

Having lived out of the US for two years, returning is a shock to the system with the size and exhaust volume of the vehicles on the road. I am skeptical that these changes can get through the gauntlet of lobbyists, however.

My suggestion doesn’t make sense in the classic PATA sense either, since there were potentially several “slave” devices, but they weren’t slaves so much as dependent on the “master.”

Primary/secondary?

Clonezilla runs lots of tasks after (and before) dd that are in the log file(s) on the live environment before you reboot. I haven’t used it in a while, but I’m confident that one of the tasks is updating grub

I agree that most websites don’t load without JavaScript, but you don’t need seven or more different domains with java allowed for the main site to work. Most sites have their own, plus six google domains, including tag manager, Facebook, etc. I whitelist the website and leave the analytics and tracking domains off.

Kodi on my 2015 Nvidia Shield doesn’t stutter for me playing back 30GB+ 4k files on a 1Gb network from an ancient (2012) AMD Athlon TrueNAS box. It could be network related, but you can test this from another machine (laptop, desktop, etc) or by using local playback on the pi. I have cheap network hardware, and have never needed better. All this is to say Kodi mounting NFS shouldn’t need much bandwidth or high end gear. Perhaps the issue is on the playback side. Good luck!

I stand corrected. “Particularized,” strikes again…
