Honestly this just sounds like more conspiracy theory than fact. Remember Occam’s Razor, the simplest solution is usually correct.

Like don’t get me wrong, TikTok is absolutely an extension of soft power, and it’s likely that the Chinese government has access to the huge amount of data the platform collects. But I think anything beyond that is just not likely.

How did they “[get] played”? Like the poster you replied too said, it was a completely unforced error on their part. It feels like they tried to jump on the right-wing “China bad” bandwagon and it bit them in the arse.

I guess I’m just cool enough I get invited regardless? Or I find out about events in other ways. I’m fine to miss a thing here or there because I don’t give my data to Zuck tho.

Edit: Also glad I’m not on there anymore considering the whole LGBT stuff that’s happened this week.

I’m not aware of any equivants for Facebook…

I went with just not using it, has been amazing :)

I assume it isn’t much of a drop though 240v to 210v ish drop.

If you had that big of a drop, it would likely have already caused the local power grid to trip and turn off. That hardware is not designed to run at a very large frequency differential from normal, and while 30v might not sound like a lot, it’s still enough to massively change the Hz of the AC.

Then put a fire sensor in the car to keep the door’s unlocked. I don’t know, but the fact it stayed locked may have cost the driver their life. I personally think it was a dickhead with a bunch of fireworks planning on a BBQ out in the desert (propane tanks) or something.

Car bomb attacks are also exceedingly rare. I personally think the odds are an even split both ways.

Either way, it’s truly despicable that the doors auto-locked during it, and I think Tesla needs to answer to an investigation on that one.

This seems like it’s going to be really bad for LGBTQ+ minors. Finding community online at around 13-14yo literally saved my life.

LIBERTY CANARY
Date updated: 2024-11-14

Cock.li is in 100% control of all of its hardware, and the service is still operating normally. The website (account registration+pw change) is currently offline.

Cock.li will shut down before becoming complicit in crimes against its own userbase under duress of any government or organization.

Cock.li is not under duress of any government or organization.

Until further notice, THIS CANARY SHOULD BE UPDATED DAILY. Under no circumstances will we let this canary go 48 hours without changing the "Date updated" above unless a PGP-signed message changes the schedule.

The schedule or PGP key used to sign this message may be changed only according to signed message from key 5CB49CDCEAC797FBF8BDC074FD71AD2771A5CC1B. Any message certifying the change of PGP key should be displayed alongside all messages signed with the new key for at least 7 days.

The schedule being changed to daily is a fairly notable departure from monthly.

Honestly, I think it all leads back to the original character limit of Twitter. It’s referencing that Microsoft is money-grubbing and power-hungry.

Mikrotik make good hardware, what are you on about?

I use Asus routers running the merlin (soft) fork of their Asuswrt firmware. There are a couple of binary closed source blobs, but the rest is open.

wait, is that name “manjarno” like when brad pitt says bonjorno in inglorious basterds??

One of their developers temporarily broke Asahi Linux.

Wait, how??

No, I also found the way he handled it really distasteful. Even before his response, just generally the way the whole thing was attempted under a veil wasn’t great. The actions taken should have been transparent from the start.

I do agree that it shouldn’t be polluting this thread like this though.

Jackass forgets that the US invaded and occupied another country for most of the 21st century.

Typical.

How am I tone policing?

I don’t think it’s irrational to have wanted them to be transparent about it, but you do you I guess.

What are you talking about, Windows 8 was a complete shitshow. It wasn’t until 8.1 that it became respectable.

I personally think this is a cop out. Obviously people would have been outraged either way, but personally my only issue is about how it was done. The whole point of the FOSS community is openness and transparency. The senior maintainers of arguably the most important FOSS project trying to operate secretively on something like this has shattered my trust in them, as well as many others.
