I feel like US telecommunication networks were always vulnerable because they were always intentionally insecure so that the US government could illegally wiretap and spy on its own people. Then they later passed laws that conveniently threw the 4th amendment in the trash so it would all be legal.

But I’m sure the new US president will get right on it and appoint someone like Elon Musk to handle cybersecurity and intelligence, because he is “very good with the cyber”.

God, I want off this fucking nightmare train.

Me too.

Red panda infants are pretty fragile and often don’t survive in captivity. I would assume the mom passed away from complications due to birthing, but it could be anything.

Plz no. We are so cute. 🥺

We’re super cute, so you’d expect that people would want to keep us around, but our existence is still endangered. Please don’t scare us to death.

I kinda wish more federated services also had built in, optional support for directly paying the people hosting the service and infrastructure.

Team mute all the way.

BTW I hate using Apple TV.

We saw what Trump did last time he was in office, and it was really bad, but it was recoverable.

Except putting people in cages at the border and separating children from families. Many families still have not been reunited.

Except the million people that died from Covid-19 due to the government putting the economy over human lives.

Except the stuffing of judicial positions, including the supreme court, that same court that basically made him a king and free from any consequences from all the laws he broke.

Except for our air, land, food and water becoming more toxic and polluted due to Trump’s rollback of EPA protections.

Except all the pregnant women who are dying or forced to carry their rapist’s baby due to that packed court overturning roe v wade.

Except the people of color who rebelled and rioted during the george floyd protests but then the government showed up in unmarked vans and took people away, while the police shot more innocent people and busted heads, and almost nothing changed for the better regarding police violence.

Except the trans people who are now illegal in the state of Florida for having a driver’s license that matches their gender identity, or the bounty on trans people in a town in Texas, or the governor of Texas trying to get lists of trans people to hunt down and prosecute. Or insurance companies refusing to cover trans-related healthcare. Or trans people being shunned by their peers and excluded from sports. Or the violence against LGBTQ people that’s doubled in the last year. All enabled and emboldened by Trump and Trumpism.

I haven’t recovered from any of this shit.

With or without Trump, the new normal is fascism in America. Every american needs to fight every bad policy, every bad law, every bad decision, every threat – every day – until there are no more fascists in power.

Between 7digital, HD tracks, Qobuz store, and my local physical media store, Tidal has never made sense to me. For $15 or $20 a month I can buy and own every track and album I want.

I use bottom-of-the-barrel Pandora for streaming when I am working out or washing dishes. That’s it.

Hey some of us also use 7digital and Qobuz store. ;)

I really like my Playdate, and I say this as someone who was very critical of it before it came out ("No color or backlight? Only A and B buttons? Why would anyone pay $200 for that?) and received it as a gift from my very intuitive husband. I am still very critical of the fact that there is no backlight, but the damn thing is so cute and charming. I like playing games on it.

I’m very disappointed that the dock just got shelved and won’t be released. Now I have to make my own or buy an Etsy one. :(

They’re trashing our rights!

Hack the planet!

And the technology has evolved that I can actually record and re-record to these plastic discs using lasers and it all fits inside a 1cm-tall drive that sits on my desk. And if the manufacturer uses high-quality materials, the disc will last hundreds of years.

Also some discs I can then either ink-print or laser-print on the top of it? Simply amazing.

I don’t know, I see Nilay’s question as “why aren’t you doing what’s ethical?” and I always welcome that line of questioning.

Or when all the supermarkets in your area are owned by Kroger?

Paint ball gun ftw

Fuck Musk and all that, but some number of people are always going to get killed.

That’s easy to say, but do you want to be one of the people who gets killed? I don’t.

This made me wonder though…the car obviously has cameras on the outside, and there’s also a way to communicate with the support team from inside…so is it a stretch to think that these cars could be auto-recording everything that’s happening inside the car?

Should we - as riders - have any expectation of privacy in a car with no driver?
