That plea bargan would have required pleading guilty to 13 separate felonies, which were wild inventions anyway, since Swartz was a JSTOR account holder, downloading files that JSTOR made available to him under their own terms. He would have a very hard time getting a job as a felon, the plea bargain would have ruined his life.

the guy says, "Do you like Marx?"
I said, "I haven't met him."
Guy said, "No, no, he's dead."
"Wow, what happened?"

I'll be using this

In July 2024, a Lancet study said the death toll could exceed 186,000 because the official toll does not include "thousands of dead buried under rubble and indirect deaths due to destruction of health facilities, food distribution systems and other public infrastructure"

The study pointed out that the death toll is higher because the official toll does not take into account thousands of dead buried under rubble and indirect deaths due to destruction of health facilities, food distribution systems and other public infrastructure.

But the Gaza population was estimated at 2.3 million in 2023 and Trump's plan to relocate all Gazans from last week only includes 1.8 million people, so the death toll is closer to 500,000

It does not. The bill explicitly excludes DNS and VPNs

The response you got from an Afghanistan vet was

Exactly this. So many people have an opinion on it when they shouldn't. [...]

so, that's who "I do not condemn or condone the actions that any Palestinian takes against Israel" resonates with

As of 2020, it doesn't seem like it

The Red Republicans just launched & Class Unity only seems to produce articles for their website (and apparently control r/DSA too).

I'm honestly surprised they bothered to keep the LGB on there at all

They moved LGBTQI+ from the top of the list to LGB at the bottom, even the new placement became the very worst travel.state.gov travelers with special considerations changes

I am not DOSing Hexbear, higher traffic from VPN IP addresses is expected because there's fewer IP addresses per user.

Rate limiting by IP address is an anti-privacy op

Edit: Maybe the rate limit can be increased for login requests?

covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov is shutting down (covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by sovietknuckles@hexbear.net to c/covid@hexbear.net
 

The final update of the NIH COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines was on February 29, 2024. PDFs of the Guidelines can be downloaded until August 16, 2024, when the website will be shut down.

Not that the site was very good. Their Prevention of SARS-CoV-2 Infection page mentions masks once on the whole page and does not mention nasal sprays:

The risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission can be reduced by covering coughs and sneezes, wearing a well-fitted mask around others, and isolating when experiencing symptoms. Frequent handwashing also effectively reduces the risk of infection.

Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent COVID-19.

Older versions of their PDF mention N95s. The only mention of N95s, other than recommending them for healthcare workers, is to claim that surgical masks are just as good:

There is evidence from studies of viral diseases, including SARS, that both surgical masks and N95 respirators reduce the risk of transmission.6 Moreover, surgical masks are probably not inferior to N95 respirators for preventing the transmission of respiratory viral infections; a recent systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that compared the protective effects of medical masks and N95 respirators demonstrated that the use of medical masks did not increase the incidence of laboratory- confirmed viral respiratory infections (including coronavirus infections) or clinical respiratory illness.

(That is incorrect.) The latest version does not mention the existence of N95s or KN95s, it just says "a well-fitted mask". And N95s and KN95s are not mentioned on the site itself, outside of these PDFs.
