That’s the mark of a website you can trust.

That post is outstanding and is a wonderful writeup that highlights the danger of associating with a company as morally bankrupt as Meta.

There is concern that Threads will use embrace, extend, extinguish to depreciate the ActiviyPub protocol. Essentially, they adopt the open standard, expand on it with proprietary additions, then when everyone is using the modified standard they drop support for the open standard and now everyone has to play ball by their rules.

I’ll accept the risk. I need the clicky

I never understood what the dates were even used for. Like, is the date used for proof that I sent it before the deadline? Check the postmark on the envelope. Used to prove I know when the election is? Why else would I be sending a ballot. I don’t understand what the proponents of that rule are trying to accomplish other than making a really shitty literacy test.

I’m torn and slightly confused. On one hand, good on them, I do enjoy some shitposting. On the other, the founder of NAFO is a nazi.

Edit: Also I went to Truth Social and thought it was weird that I couldn’t reject their cookies so I clicked in the link at the bottom for GDPR and it gave me a 404 lol.

I live in a very red part of Florida. They’ve all been pretty nice to me. Of course, I’m white, my baby is blonde haired and blue eyed, and I’m in the military. They usually get pretty surprised when I open my mouth and start spouting crazy commie stuff like Trans Rights are Human rights.

I worked with a guy that was a hard-core conservative, like just shy or real far-right talking points. Anyway he told me he doesn’t watch the news. Not that he only watches fox news, I mean he doesn’t watch any news at all. He gets his information from Facebook and tiktok

And it did. It started with coaxial. The fact that ethernet is now largely used in conjunction with UTP or STP doesn’t add much when talking about the Ethernet protocol itself.

To be pedantic: Ethernet is a protocol so mentioning the medium used outside of a historical context is kinda irrelevant.

That there was some confusion whether it is a purple monster that eats people or a monster that only eats purple people.

I’m actually the opposite. I’ve tried using Lemmy and I still do to an extent but I dunno. I love the feel of kbin

Ehhh… Doctors have a hell of a lot of administrative paperwork for each patient they have to do. That’s where the actual time goes. At least for Emergency Department doctors. I can’t speak to private practice docs.

Cries in Florida

Interim clearances are pretty common. The Office of Personnel Management takes forever, like a year or two, to complete their investigation so that a clearance can be fully adjudicated.

It makes sense that Lawyers from the government would have presumably worked on cases similar to this in the past, or at the very least needed to review some kind of classified material, and that private attorneys hired by a defense might not have.

All in all, the interim clearances don’t really mean anything.

Many people believe that creating the universe was also a bad move.

They probably didn’t know it was illegal to be honest. This was a judge magistrate which is a very low level judge . Not excusing it, just, as the saying goes: never attribute to malice what is adequately explained by stupidity.

You sound like a weird tomato version of Gaston.
