TIL Marco Rubio's (R) maternal grandfather immigrated to the US without a visa, and a judge ordered that he be deported, but the order was later changed to allow him to stay.
  • That depends. Did he stop kissing his ring?

    Frankly, if there was a transsexual M13 member that illegally crossed the border, murdering several border guards and in her way ate a cat, as long as she would express support of trump she wouldn't have anything to worry about.

  • Trump campaign slammed for 'trans panic' Harris ad: 'Kamala is for they/them'
  • Check 270towin.com, popularity wise he has no chance. Unfortunately we have electoral college and with that he has 50/50 chance currently.

    That's scarily too close.

    Edit: this is why it is important to make sure you vote. Historically electoral college typically matches popular vote.

    The manipulation is possible when the turnout is low. The gerrymandering also works the best with a low turnout, and if turnout is unexpectedly high it can backfire and turn otherwise red counties into blue. This is why it is important to vote, even in the states you think your vote doesn't matter.

    What's ironic is that the non voting population is so high, that if they all turned in and voted they would override everyone else who normally does.

  • Starlink kit found amid wreckage of Russian drone
  • Well, given that they have access to Internet via starlink, all they would have to do is set up a website and list the IDs, then block everything that's not there.

    They got me shipment? Add them to the list? No longer own the device? Remove it.

  • Trump campaign was hacked again in the last 10 days
  • This looks like stunts to help trump boost his numbers. Notice that he wants media to talk about him. The documents from the last one did not contain anything that we already didn't know and likely were leaked by his campaign.

  • McConnell: Democrats would end the filibuster if they sweep on Election Day "I don’t think they’re kidding. I think they’ll do it"
  • It worked both ways though. But in the end, did it actually do much? The times I remember when fill buster was used ultimately the majority still managed to pass the legislation.

    I think what would be better is that when there's a stalemate it would trigger a new election like it is done in some countries.

  • Sanders Files to Force First-Ever Vote in Congress on Blocking Weapons to Israel
  • He was criticizing the response since the beginning?

    Frankly I was initially supporting them, as I am against Hamas but Israel lost the objective, didn't destroy Hamas and didn't get hostages out. So what was all that for?

  • Putin issues a nuclear warning to the West over Ukraine
  • Here's one video talking about it: https://youtu.be/NdPjS3EvcFU

    There videos of actual expressions which were spectacular.

    The biggest one registered as 2.8 rather on Richter scale

    Ukrainians destroyed it just as the ammunition from North Korea arrived.

    Edit: here's the video of the explosion https://youtu.be/igdgA-LHZHU

  • Trump-Zelenskyy feud escalates as Republicans demand envoy’s removal
  • I first didn't think much of it, but now I am realizing that this visit shows how Republicans lie that Biden is just dropping pallets off dollar bills into Ukraine, when in reality majority of it actually stays within US, creating jobs, and apart from artillery shells majority of production is to replenish US stocks, because we are giving Ukraine equipment that was close to expire.

    This lie being exposed is the real reason why Mike is upset.

  • Winamp for desktop source code has been released.
  • Three streaming (like pointed in the other comment) was my initial reaction too, but indeed at the time https for streaming would be very rare.

    Another possibility is to realize that openssl isn't just for communication, but also has implementation of cryptographic algorithms.

    Perhaps openssl was used for validation of licensing key? For example they could sign the license with their private key and WinAmp could verify it's authenticity with its public key.

  • Fake Reddit comments generated by AI?

    So I ran Power Delete Suite as I periodically do. I have it configured to edit a comment and then delete it. It deletes comments that are older than 1 week old.

    What was unusual was that within minutes I got the red envelope. And looking at it there was a response to a comment that I wrote 2 years ago.

    So first thing is that as many were saying Reddit undeletes comments. I initially ignored that I saw some comments that I thought were deleted, but I assume it was because subreddits were locked and that's why they were invisible to Power Delete Suite, but this was on r/programming which was unlocked for quite some time (not sure if it ever was locked).

    Second thing is the response within minutes.

    So my 2 year old comment still exists and it's not showing up on my profile. I wouldn't even know about it is not for that response.

    Of course this could be a coincidence, the account that responded to me is 9 years old, the content of it seems normal, although I saw comments on r/ChatGPT.

    Though the timing bugs me off. If the comment is not from a real person maybe when Reddit restored it the AI code thought it was a new comment and responded to it.

    Another thing that contributes to my suspicion of chatbots being deployed is that I noticed since the API protest and after they unlocked subreddits is that I get more upvotes and more responses than I used to.

    Anyone observed something similar?
