TIL my router can make coffee out of thin air. What a tool.

Wow, you’re right. That’s an incredibly misleading headline.

So your reaction to Asmon saying something kinda fuckin racist and then recanting, as opposed to just not saying the racist thing in the first place, is to give him more of your attention?

People like him get popular by manufacturing controversy.

(The Center Square) - California is spending $1.7 million per year housing and treating each “sexually violent predator” discharged from state mental hospitals and in the process of transitioning to the community under care and supervision from a third-party contractor, a new state audit found.

Wow, $1,700,000 per person per year sounds rather astronomical…

Between fiscal years 2003-2004 and 2023-2024 California paid almost $93 million to Liberty Healthcare to house, treat, supervise, and monitor 56 individuals the state has designated as “sexually violent predators,”

OK, that sounds more reasonable…

 $93,000,000 / (20 * 56) = $83,036

So which is it, $1.7M or $83K? Because that’s a rather substantial difference.

Am I missing something here? I can’t find any sources in the article. Did they just make the first figure up?

“I’m sorry you found my actions hurtful.”

That’s OK with me. Elon losing all his money to bad investments seems like a good thing.

Not surprising. WhatsAppism is truly the wet socks of organised religion. Hope those Christians are OK.

Um…

Didn’t think I’d have to say “it’s always projection” about this one, yet here we are…

That’s an actual thing?! Lol

Hit em with the Chaerith

I really like searx so far. My only problem with it I’ve had is that instances keep going down. Obviously one can’t be too upset about a free service that’s not being monetized, but it’s still kind of frustrating to have to reconfigure it and switch all my browsers’ default searches to a new instance.

It’s mostly dogwhistle.

Deep state - Jews? George Soros? This one is beyond me.

Wokeism - the concept that some people are systemically marginalised due to their race, sexual orientation, gender expression, etc.

Cultural Marxism - the idea that Marxist theory is responsible for the rise of identity politics and political correctness.

Just to mention, Fennec’s F-droid page does list the following as an anti-feature:

This app tracks and reports your activity
Connects to various Mozilla services that can track users.

It does say that telemetry has been removed, but that it still connects to services (like Firefox Sync, for example) which could still potentially be used to track you.

That’s not a dealbreaker for me personally, but if it bothers anyone else, it seems like Mull might be the more privacy conscious choice, at the cost of some convenience features.

Ahh, cool! Good to know. I just checked that 0day, and they’re both JS exploits (which I imagine most probably are), so NoScript will probably protect me unless some of my trusted domains get compromised. It’s not ideal, but it’s within my comfort tolerance.

Oh, cool. I hadn’t heard of this one before. I use Fennec. I wonder what the main differences are. I noticed Mull mentions fennec in their F-droid page:

It [Mull] is compiled from source and proprietary blobs are removed using scripts by Relan from [https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild here].

It seems like Mull is more privacy focused?

We all knew something was coming when the IDF set up right next to them, but holy fuck… that’s next level batshit crazy.

If nothing comes of this, what the heck is even the point of the UN?

The proper Japanese pronunciation is like “niece-sahn”. In Japanese, it’s written in their phonetic alphabet as:「にっさん」

に is pronounced “knee” (like the knights who say “Ni!”)
っ indicates the following consonant sound is doubled to the end of the previous syllable (so “knee” becomes “niece”)
さ is pronounced “sah” as in a shortened “saw”
ん is pronounced “nn”

We’ve tried nothing, and we’re all out of ideas!

Yoooo, is that basically a ramen stew? I dig it. Do you brown those mushies and mock meat before you add water/broth?
