Polls in the US and Australia in the last decade have been absurdly inaccurate.
It's not hyperbole, it's fair criticism.
I genuinely believe that the minimum standard of a functioning member of society is to select a representative who will participate in setting policies for the society of which they are a part.
To claim that no one aligns with your ideology or your views is to fail in that objective. You simply select the one most closely aligned.
I think people think of fascism as specifically "murdering minorities" or something rather than a form of autocracy.
As a non-european I have some questions!
Firstly, is voting in the UK compulsory?
Secondly, how likely is it that the polls are wrong and the Tories will form government?
And thirdly, how have the Tories suddenly fallen from grace? They've presided over a real shit show for the last decade but kept getting elected. What changed?
Congratulations, you've failed to achieve the bare minimum standard expected of functioning members of society, and apparently failed to understand how democracy works. Well done.
My partner of 12 years and mother of my children got citizenship in my home country a few days ago. It's been a long and difficult road to get here.
A winning horse?!
It's hard to imagine how you could pick a horse less likely to win.
This sounds an awful lot like doing nothing
What does that even mean though?
No, it's because your various claims are delusional, borne of a lack of perspective and self awareness.
One of us sure is stuck in a bubble.
As long as the rule of law and checks and balances can be continued afterwards
Historically that never happens and it's naive to think that it would.
Even if that were true, and it seems unlikely, that's still an order of magnitude more than the ladybug devs.
Of course it's arbitrary.
It doesn't take much self awareness to realise that having a president pick and choose which SCOTUS rulings they think are ok, is exactly the type of authoritarian autocrat you're trying to avoid.
Arbitrarily rewriting laws you don't like sounds pretty fascist to me.
These threads are awash with comments like this but you can't avoid fascism by becoming a fascist.
Shit is fucked but arbitrary killing is not the solution.
You can't beat fascism by becoming fascist.
It might seem that way but it's a fairly arrogant assertion. They're a sophisticated organisation with a lot of well experienced people guiding them. As an outsider it's easy to criticise their seemingly endless series of bad decisions, but I'm still confident that internally all of these decisions seemed like a good idea at the time.
Besides which, this would be a good reason to fork their codebase rather than starting from scratch.
Nice. These look great.
Do you know if it will turn off entirely if the temp is low enough? Or they just idle away at 300rpm or so.
I get that, but I suppose I'm trying to say that there's a point at which even if you're not on the receiving end of the oppression you have to recognise that something's not right.
I want to put some devices like NVR, modem, router, et cetera in a closet.
I'm having an electrician install a 240v AC power socket in the closet.
I'd like to cut a hole in the top of the closet through to the ceiling cavity for an exhaust fan.
I'm hoping to decommission my home server so I'd like to avoid having to run exhaust fans from a computer / PC power supply.
With all that in mind, I'm looking for one or more devices that will allow me to run two PWM case fans with thermostat from 240v.
Just wondered if any one is using block lists for their docker containers.
IPSum publishes a great list of IPs worth blocking.
The thing is, I know docker networking interacts with iptables in a complex way such that the iptables INPUT chain is ignored.
The docker docs say you can put custom rules in DOCKER-USER chain, but my iptables knowledge isn't great and I think I'm more likely to mess something up than to have any success.
The thing is, I'm sure that this is something loads of other people have encountered, and I'm sure there must be an easier way.
The evidence is equivocal on whether screen time is to blame for rising levels of teen depression and anxiety — and rising hysteria could distract us from tackling the real causes.
In Perth for Easter weekend.
What are some cool things to do / places to visit?
If anyone could point me to some information or guide about this I'd really appreciate that.
I think the official com.android.gsm and friends need to be uninstalled first. I've tried that with adb, console reports "success", Google Play Services is no longer listed in Settings > Apps.
But... if I try to install MicroG via Fdroid or Droid-ify it goes through the install process, there's no error, but MicroG Core is not shown as "installed". If I try to install the apk with adb it says the currently installed version is newer than the one I'm trying to install?
microg.org seems to just assume you know how to install.
I read something about signature spoofing but I thought that was only for older devices.
Any insights / suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I think this is the answer: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-degoogle-any-device-and-install-microg.4058743/
rsync.net Warrant Canary
Existing and proposed laws, especially as relate to the US Patriot Act, etc., provide for secret warrants, searches and seizures of data, such as library records.
Some such laws provide for criminal penalties for revealing the warrant, search or seizure, disallowing the disclosure of events that would materially affect the users of a service such as rsync.net.
rsync.net and its principals and employees will in fact comply with such warrants and their provisions for secrecy.
rsync.net will also make available, weekly, a "warrant canary" in the form of a cryptographically signed message containing the following:
-
a declaration that, up to that point, no warrants have been served, nor have any searches or seizures taken place
-
a cut and paste headline from a major news source, establishing date
Special note should be taken if these messages ever cease being updated, or are removed from this page.
The current message is here:

No warrants have ever been served to rsync.net, or rsync.net principals or employees. No searches or seizures of any kind have ever been performed on rsync.net assets, including:

Notes:
This scheme is not infallible. Although signing the declaration makes it impossible for a third party to produce arbitrary declarations, it does not prevent them from using force to coerce rsync.net to produce false declarations. The news clip in the signed message serves to demonstrate that that update could not have been created prior to that date. It shows that a series of these updates were not created in advance and posted on this page.
I downloaded all my photos with google takeout.
The folder structure is an absolute mess.
It would be nice to organise them into YYYY/MM folders but I haven't been able to think of an easy way to do that.
I note that all images seem to have sidecar files ? Like matching json files. I've never encountered these before and not really aware of any command line tools that support them. It's just another challenge as regards writing a script to re-organise files.
Any insights much appreciated.
