Before I even read: it's phishing, and it's nothing new. There's no evidence supporting anyone has broken this level of E2EE.
After reading: oh look. Surprise. This is my surprised face.
This just screams of "we want backdoors to be forced into encrypted things so we have even more control"
Yeah, sit down and accept the fascist takeover and don't bother vandalizing their symbols because that's against their law.
Wouldn't want to do anything crazy like protest in a non violent way, and heaven forbid anything more extreme happen! This is basically domestic terrorism.
Treated lumber is a thing, and in my experience it's harder to light than carbon fiber and resin.
My garage almost burned down once because I didn't notice sparks from my angle grinder were pooling on a CF/R panel, and it set off a couple other things (paper towel bar, shop towel, solvent residue close to the towel) while I ran to the extinguisher.
This "article" is just an ad, and shouldn't exist without actual journalism going on, but let's not pretend wood can't be fire resistant.
I love the repeated panels, almost like the path is checking to see if anyone looking before it shifts.
We know how to handle fascist nazis.
A lot of the developed world rallied together to do it around the 1940s.
A lot of people have trouble feeling like this, and is a big part of the sunk cost fallacy I think. "I know I'll like it more later" then eventually becomes "well I've made it this far".
You like what you like, you don't like what you don't like. You can't really change that. It's okay to put something down if you aren't engaging with it.
Anecdote ahead:
I keep telling my wife if she doesn't like one of my books, I won't be offended if she stops reading.
But she feels like it's just her "being dumb" and that she'll like it more next chapter.
I took her to half price books the other day so we could get a bunch of books she likes, and the only reason she decided to buy as many as she did was because "we can sell them back to the store" even though I fully intend in giving away any books she won't read.
The $2 I'll get back for it isn't worth the 45 minute trip there. And someone will probably get more than $2 worth of entertainment from it.
I created a nerd, send bookshelves...
This is why I occasionally watch Bing bong theorem.
It's garbage, it's offensive to several groups of people (some more than others), and it has a laugh track.
By all my standards, it's garbage, with garbage characters played by( a couple) garbage people actors, and half the time it's not funny at all, not just "not as funny as it thinks it is"
But.... I still like to watch an episode here or there.
Don't get me started on all the people who tell me I should love it because I'm a nerd and I "like space". Usually these people don't understand why the "smart" jokes aren't actually smart and usually they're giving just enough of a "you need basic education to understand this" so that when the average viewer understands it, they can feel good about themselves for being oh so smart and understanding all that nerd stuff.
And of course you can't bring any of that up without sounding like a pretentious douche who wants people to think they're smarter than they are.
So uh... Hi, I guess I'm a pretentious douche. IM SMRT
Like what you like, fuck the h8rz.

See, it really is just an algorithm that can be nailed down perfectly, and I've got an entire floor of statisticians and market analysts that agree it'll make me berjillions!!!1!!
Lpt: they're also telling me more statisticians and market analysts will help boost my numbers too! Jackpot!
-an executive, somewhere, in nearly every corporate office
But one day they might be the one on top! And it will be because they worked hard and deserve it!
My favorite thing is seeing attempted memes of "this is the future the left wants with socialism/communism/anticapitalism" and.... It's literally just a picture of regular old capitalism making sure certain people get the worst of it. Usually houseless camping hotspots, and slums that supply larger wealthier areas with their luxuries and labor.
I haven't heard of her, but I'm tossing the popcorn in the microwave as we speak!
They stated they didn't break piracy laws because they downloaded a shitload of books for their LLM and didn't seed any.
Torrents are downloaded by "leeches" and put out for download by "seeders"
A proper ratio of what you downloaded to what you allow others to download should be 1:1 if you're not a dick. (1gb downloaded means you need to upload 1gb to other users for 1:1) but if you don't seed at ALL or if you only seed bare minimum to keep downloading things, you're called a Leech, and derogatorily. Because you didn't seed.
So they're stating "we didn't break the law, we're just leeches!"
