Republican men tend to expect (demand) all women be open and willing to date them, also to become ultra submissive to them and warp their entire lives around whatever the dude desires. It’s fucked up but it’s a real problem if you’re a woman. (Non-Republican men and even women can also have similar expectations, but there’s a reason “Would you date a Republican man?” is a meme.)

Presumably the one asking is the Republican… Ditch her.

The strategy is “Never Play Defense”.

They know what’s going on, they know what they’re doing. They just don’t care, they like Trump they just can’t argue their case and don’t care to.

Got any recommendations?

It’s a minor, technical change to the license. It’s not a change we should be supporting but it doesn’t matter much. The real concerning thing is that this may signal a shift away from focusing on the value to the user.

It doesn’t mean that in this case, except perhaps very indirectly.

Vaultwarden is Bitwarden–at least for now, this change may push them apart.

No, technically they already are SaaS company. That’s mostly how they make their money.

Also it should be noted “no longer open source” doesn’t mean they’ve done a “our code is now closed and all your passwords are ours” rug pull like some other corporations. This is a technical concern with the license and it no longer meets proper FOSS standards (in other words, it has a restriction on it now that you wouldn’t see in, for example, the GPL).

So by and large the change is very minimal, the code is still available, it’s still the best option. However, this does matter. It may be a sign of the company changing directions. It’s something they should get pushback about.

Honestly, it’s Bitwarden right now. This move signals their intent to change that, though.

11 vodkas is… a lot of vodkas.

Water bowls are stagnant water and animals can sense that and do not like it. In nature, stagnant water is dangerous and kind of a last resort. Heck, even humans can taste this and probably don’t like it. Try leaving a bowl of water out for 24 hours and drink it yourself, you might be able to tell it’s not good.

Fountains keep that water tasting fresh, though tbh they might fill it with micro plastics or something so who knows if it’s really an improvement.

I hope that’s true.

We recently got a demonstration of that with the “spicy pager” attack Israel pulled. A laptop could be even more devastating.

Generally i don’t think they catch too many people this way. If they had they certainly would have been talking that up during the Bush administration when they were looking for anything they could find to hype up the terrorist threat but they barely ever had anything to show for it. Some shoe bomb thing that didn’t even work, i guess.

Meanwhile, it’s well known that this stuff fails to catch weaponry and other dangerous objects regularly. I could link a story but i, myself, experienced this once: I forgot to take a 4" knife out of my backpack before flying and sure enough, they didn’t find it even though they “randomly selected” me for a manual search. (They were too distracted by the multiple laptops and phones is my only guess, but the knife was buried in there deep and i didn’t find it when packing either.)

I didn’t even notice until i was already at my destination and so i didn’t have much choice but to bring it back through security a second time and hope they didn’t catch it. Sure enough, they missed it the second time.

Fundamentally, the TSA is an organization that tries to replace skill and attention with technocratic rules following but you’ll never have a successful security operation that way. This isn’t the fault of the people doing the work, they’re treated like McDonald’s employees but they’re being asked to hassle everyone safeguard our flights. The primary motivating factor for this appears to be fear–both fear of bad things happening and a desire to instill that fear in others. That is also not an effective organizing principle for a security operation.

Why the tracking, then? That’s simple: it, too, is theater but it’s also a form of control. It gives the state more insight into and control over our personal lives.

For those objecting to this it’s absolutely true. Fight Nazis, with guns when necessary, but do not be misled into believing they are wholly alien or inhuman. That’s how you end up living in the middle of a bunch of Nazis without realizing their Nazis.

Oh you know…

Nuclear war has been mentioned a couple times but i feel it deserves elaboration: We’ve been real fucking close a couple times. There was a Soviet “nuclear counterattack station”, or whatever, that got the “nuclear strike detected, fire retaliatory missiles” signal and the person responsible simply refused. The signal was due to a glitch, there was no attack. That guy probably saved millions and millions of lives by refusing to carry out his duty.

If you consider (potential) timelines being “close” to ours in terms of only a small number of things needing to change to get us there, the one where everything went to nuclear hell is very close to ours–but we’re not in that one.

Unfortunately, the powerful have the power so they’re arranging my life too. To the best of their ability, at least.

You’re right that we should not confuse their values for our own, however.

Don’t need to go that far, i think. If you had your extension hash some piece of each keyframe (basically: tokenize some IDs for each keyframe) and submit them to a database you could then see which parts were shown to everyone vs only to some people and only display those. Basically similar to how sponsorblock crowd sources its sponsor segment detection but automated. Some people would see the ads but then you’d know what the og video was unless it gets edited.

This is assuming they’re not reencoding the video for each advertisement, which they probably aren’t. If they are it probably gets easier, actually. Sponsorblock could do that.
