i suspect there’s too few in this country to see these kinds of groups.

Also, the antisemitism talked about in the article is genuine hatred of Jewish people, not just anti-Israel rhetoric.

i was referring to the american version of the anti-isreal rhetoric; there’s a bill in congress that will enable labeling anti-genocide protestors as antisemitic and will give our government the ability to treat them as a hate group as was done in france with the radical islamic group thing.

jonas paris is the example used to justify the labeling like fox news shows stock footage of gang violence to activate their base or democrats pointing to project 2025 to activate theirs.

Why wouldn’t he wait then?

by taking the plea deal, he’s a convicted felon that will be stuck in australia for the rest of his life; under the watchful eye of surrogates of the american hegemony he spat on.

if he had waited, he would be free to go anywhere he wanted; outside the control of the people who still want him in imprisoned.

they’re called the “radical muslim groups” in the article; along the same vein that people protesting the genocide are “antisemitic”

preemptively striking at groups from both the left the right at the same time; biden should take notes.

i wonder if that means that if he hadn’t taken the deal; he would be free already.

my car is 16 years old and it’s american made so i’m certain that’s it’s going to fail catastrophically very soon, so i need a new car and i want one of these; but i’ll have to wait atleast another 5 years for the 100% tariffs to abate. even then, there’s a good chance that there’ll be new tariffs.

i’ve already canceled this summer road trip because of the precariousness of my car’s functioning and i’ll have the cancel the rest from now on and it’s maddening considering how much money people can throw away on car trip helping turn this turd of an economy around; but we won’t do it simply because someone other than the united states or its puppets are profiting from it.

and a reality in the united states

it’s also bullshit when you consider that the only thing i could steal is source code and; since everything we worked on was open source; i would have absolutely nothing to gain from it. lol

nope

Other industries, I’m sure, are looking for different things based on what they’re hiring for. Where I work, there is a different set of checks we run on folks that work in our finance department, but I don’t oversee that area.

they look at credit scores now to get jobs and that floored me when i worked for a fintech job at a bank holdings company; they were going to reject me because my credit report showed a an overdue credit card account from when i was 8 years old.

it was obviously wrong because no one gives credit cards to 8 year olds; but it was there in all 3 credit reporting agency’s reports; they had to get their legal team involved to tell their hr team to let me, a software developer, work at a bank doing software development because of a bad credit score.

maybe because i mentioned it?

a few years ago i created a homemade security camera system using motion on my linux desktop and all of my unused smartphones as cameras with ip camera software along with the gnome google drive desktop plugin to upload pics/vids of events and notify me via email & priority phone notifications if something happened.

it was easy to setup, but it took forever to tweak the cameras’ angles, mask and especially the lighting with infra red light bulbs so that they could get decent light in the videos and pics during night time and without having to keep all the regular lights on all the time.

i’m glad that i didn’t spend any money of it because i only ended up with hundreds of hours videos and gigabytes of pics of me and my pets. lol

Man seeing US and EU automakers getting spanked like this comical but really pathetic…

i’ve learned recently some of the japanese & korean automakers have joined forces to respond to this new threat and i suspect they’re the only ones who have a chance at thriving in the next 10 to 20 years because of it.

the last time i tried doing something similar was with a plasma 1080i tv (yes that long ago) connected via hdmi to component adapter and i eventually learned that the nvidia driver will overwrite everything in favor of it’s own detection method, thus ignoring the custom edid i provided; perhaps the ati driver your using does something similar?

i would have tried switching to one of the open source drivers but the tv died and it’s replacement had hdmi ports and the problem went away

for the united states, it’s actually pretty simple; it’s about stopping chinese control of the auto industry and protecting ford, gm & chrysler from having to innovate. here’s a short video with a high level overview of it.

I could get on board if manufacturers were making $10,000 sub 50 mile vehicles that were compatible with a swap station so you could switch to a larger battery for the weekend. This would have to be a standard adopted by all however, and even before that, they’d have to make small cars. Which they won’t, because we all know they are too busy making trucks and SUVs.

they make $10k ev’s with 250 mile ranges that are for sale everywhere except the united states & canada. you can get them in australia or western europe for a 50-75%-ish tariff depending on which country you’re in…

apple products are coveted both in and out of imperial core; whether or not they can afford them.

my point is that the most well educated and leftist leaning generations we’ve ever had (i’m assuming) continues to place a premium on products like these and that makes the eventuality of breaking out of this imperialist cycle seem unrealistic.

i’ve done this a couple times w sata and pata drives and it works; there’s lots to clean up to do, but it works.

i’ve had to use netapp ontap’s freebsd and solaris 9 & 10 professionally and going to canada is exactly how it felt; one is vancouver (compared to california) and the other was new foundland.
