Galaxy’s Finest! 🪨⛏️💎

Deep Rock Galactic is good even in singleplayer.

This is angry Hitler, but cuter.

Yes! That was a vast improvement. It’s not the only way that Americans are felons if the state needs to decide they are, or if they need to add charges / sentencing considerations if the prosecutors really want to throw away the key, such as embarrassing VIPs or killing rich people.

Still, you don’t want the police looking at your entire internet history, even if you believe you have nothing to hide, they will find things that they find objectionable enough to justify treating you roughly.

All Americans who have ever used the internet have violations of the CFAA, since website TOS violations are legally as criminal as hacking NORAD (the CFAA was passed after Reagan saw wargames ) normally letting your twelve-year-old start a Facebook account gets you 25 years, if some prosecutor wanted to enforce it. And they think that’s ridiculous and don’t.

However, if that prosecutor wants to turn a five month sentence into a ten year sentence, then the suspect’s CFAA violation history might be useful after all.

And that is just one of the laws that overreaches and is easily broken and not usually enforced.

Suddenly you may have something to hide after all, say if they’re rounding up gay felons and any petty felony would make your gay ass qualify. (The German SD and US ICE both ignore violent felon requirements when they’re rounding up folk to be detained and deported)

I had a slow stalky strategy in Among Us. I’d take my time and cause distractions. If the crew could focus on getting tasks done, they’d beat me by time.

I’d also vouch for other players if I saw them do a visible task (get scanned, clear asteroids, whatever.) Doing so often ingratiated them to me, so they’d think I was also crew

A lot of players were super suspicious, glad to airlock people in a hurry. Waiting for the crew to thin themselves out informed [my] slow strategy.

FBI is not a monolith right now and has multiple conflicting opinions.

The part that wants to save democracy says you should encrypt your communications by using an e2e provider, and they recommend Signal.

The part that wants to serve the country (by serving the current administration — the J. Edgar Hoover part of FBI) is terrified of going dark and has been nagging encryption experts for over a decade now to nerd harder and invent a backdoor only good guys can use.

The nerds know this is mathematically impossible. And in fact bad guys (industrial spies, black hats, other nations, etc.) have leaks readily available to uncover the backdoors.

And right now a lot of FBI is scared the new admin is the bad guys.

Can Graphene add a feature to run in emulation mode to allow apps to believe it’s on an unrestricted OS?

Remember if US FBI (who is commonly anti-encryption) is suddenly afraid of Chinese state spies, Haxxorz in China and Trump sectarian vigilantes then maybe EU should be as well.

They may already have your data today but as soon as you can cut off pipelines that data starts getting stale.

With accounts that are less data-miney, you can replace all your account details (name, email addy, region, etc.) with gibberish and wait for it all to update, and then replace your password so not even you can get into it.

If it’s more data-miney and you are willing to put in a few months / years of maintenance, you can trickle in the gibberish and false data until it’s thoroughly poisoned.

Once again the ownership class pirates freely while disparaging the common folk for violating copyright.

It’s almost if it’s not a real law, rather something by which to disparage the proletariat.

Hah! When I was studying King Arthur mythology, a lot of the scary fae stories were early Christian propaganda about how weird the heathen rites and customs were.

Edited There were a lot of stories like the movie Midsommar where some knights would seek shelter from a storm at a far-removed keep, and the steward would say you can come in, but it’s the day of ₮ⱧɆ ₣Ɇ₴₮łV₳Ⱡ which you may not like and it turns out the festival includes mortal-stakes gaming or tourneys to the death or an obligatory feast dining on human meat or something else.

ETA For some reason it feels relevant having watched Trump’s town hall meeting turn into a music appreciation show with extra helpings of Ave Maria. Fey were renowned for infiltrating human organizations, gaining high rank and then turning their events into mockeries of themselves. And this was totally that.

I think people are more willing to risk it considering their circumstances.

It’s up there with bear selfies and Russian high-risk behavior.

Mushrooms do mushroom things. It’s not advertising.

Looks like marbles

I bought it specifically to support the dev, which is way more effective regarding small games by small publishers than big games by big publishers.

Can the doxxing tech be used to ID law enforcement officers? A lot of them are assholes and bullies knowing their IDs will [be] protected by state and corporate interests.

And police in the US are more than eager to use facial recognition and ALPR services to bypass our fourth amendment protections.

I’m sure AGI is far off and AGI is impossible is exactly what AGI wants us to think.

Newton’s Long John Silver was a solid enough performance to warrant a sequel / spin-off, so TTAPD would be like a day to honor Bela Lugosi’s Dracula or even James Earl Jones’ Darth Vader.

These people have absolutely made their mark on American culture.

Black Friday, the shopping day is a gimmick taking advantage of an already popular shopping day. Not necessarily the most popular or most profitable or even the worst day for shopper shennanigans and violence. But then, it’s difficult for capitalist phenomena to not be turned into gimmicks used to market more sales.
