Yes it did. What do you think all those aircraft were launched from? They sure as Hell didn’t fly all the way from the Japanese mainland (or whatever the closest Japanese land-based airfield was at the time)! They didn’t have the range for it: aircraft with ocean-crossing range didn’t start showing up until the Jet Age, after the war.

With what navy?

Never trust a tech worker, they decided long ago to sell out the species and the planet.

The ironic thing is, the tech industry started out from hippie counterculture. Fucking tech-bro business major types ruined it.

WHERE’S MY GODDAMN SAUERKRAUT TO GO WITH MY HOT DOG, COSTCO?!

Okay, being specifically a labor leader is the exception that proves the rule, because that’s a role in opposition to the establishment, not part of it.

“Redneck” implies working class (because it’s traditionally caused by getting sunburned from working out in a field) in a way that “good ol’ boy” does not.

The idea of a redneck community leader is an oxymoron.

Shifter and Oh the Urbanity! are on https://video.canadiancivil.com/ . They are both fairly well-known Canadian Youtubers making videos about biking and urbanism.

At least while we’re still able to sideload install normally… 😔

FTFY. Being restricted to a manufacturer’s ‘approved’ list of apps is not normal, and should be called “cuckinstalling” or something similarly pathetic and offensive.

No, apparently 1 in 5 boys know someone their age who delusionally thinks they’re in a relationship with an AI Chatbot.

0 in 5 know someone who actually is in such a relationship, because that’s impossible.

This is why shaming the idiots who say things like “what’s the big deal, it’s just a field in a text file” is so important. They need to be made to understand that solidarity is required to resist the tyrants.

What regulatory capture of the FTC does to MFer.

All this shit should be considered false advertising, at the very least.

Yeah, sorry, I wasn’t as precise as I could’ve been. I was really just trying to convey the motivations (i.e. that it was due to being mistaken for foreign as opposed to being targeted for using a VPN), not go into the details of exactly which aspect of the VPN (the entrance IP geolocation, the exit IP geolocation, or the company HQ location) would actually trigger the “foreign-ness.”

Due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, both affected regions have experienced physical impacts to infrastructure as a result of drone strikes. In the UAE, two of our facilities were directly struck, while in Bahrain, a drone strike in close proximity to one of our facilities caused physical impacts to our infrastructure. These strikes have caused structural damage, disrupted power delivery to our infrastructure, and in some cases required fire suppression activities that resulted in additional water damage.

Translation: servers got turned into charred scrap.

I agree, assuming the game was released reasonably “complete” and with a minimum of bugs the first time. Or in other words, if the devs were held to the same standard as they were back in the '90s, when games got mastered to physical media once and routine, easy bug fix updates weren’t a thing.

Those are the ones that would cause them to surveil you.

The issue isn’t necessarily “the government will target you for using a VPN;” the issue is “if your IP makes you look like you’re outside the US because that’s where your traffic exits the VPN, the laws against domestic spying won’t protect you properly because you’ll look like a foreigner.”

Frankly, the headline is heavily spinning it to be anti-VPN fearmongering.

guess I need to look at bit for “how to stuff a huge graphics card into a mini box”.

I wanted to upgrade my kids from Pi 4s to Pi 5s, but ended up just getting NUCs instead.

If by “complicates… basic PC ownership” they mean “infringes on your property rights as a computer owner,” then they’re finally catching on to what I’ve been saying for damn near a decade.

You should not accept having an abusive relationship with your operating system, and that’s what Windows has been since at least 8 (when they started infecting it with “telemetry”), if not earlier. Have some goddamn self-respect, people! Kick Microsoft to the curb!
