"Trump’s gift to Vladimir Putin to get his own ass out of the sling is both a huge concession to Russia and an unmistakeable admission that the economic reverberations from the elective war in Iran are having acute downstream political effects on Trump and Republicans in an election year."~ David Kurtz#Trump #Putin #Iran #war #oil #gas #Russia/25https://morningmemo.talkingpointsmemo.com/p/trump-bails-out-russia-to-save-his

@ruari If you don't surveil and sell your visitors, then you don't need cookie banners. It's very simple.The only ones who don't seem to get this very simple fact are the tech bros trained by laissez-faire capitalists to hate the EU for daring to regulate their privacy invasions.

@rbreich In many European countries, political parties receive funding from the state in accordance with their electoral results, and donations are limited. This avoids billionaire capture, aka plutocracy, which is what happened in the US.

@UKFilmNerd It's the movie where I first noticed Karl Urban. 2009? Seems like a couple of years ago.

I kinda supposed that there was an ideal temperature for writing that the drives try to maintain, but when ambient is too high they can't. Then what gets written is on the edge of being readable, and normal temperature storage losses degrade that in a few hours.Lots of hand waving on my part. We just made a procedure and carried on. But it would be pretty insidious to look at your data right after recording and it looks good, but it's gone the next week.@Aaron_DeVries @rachelplusplus

@stepheneb @lovableweirdo That reminds me of a fun play I saw a few years back about a Victorian woman leading an expedition - using a high speed airship, of course - to discover the West Pole. (The Explorers Club by Nell Benjamin)

Like, I can't stress this enough... the guy talks like a comic book villian. This is not hard man. Americans supported Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq (TWICE) before they didn't. We're a very stupid, gullible people.But we're not spoiling to be the Empire in Star Wars. Nobody wakes up in the morning and says "what if Skeletor was president; wouldn't that be nice?"These morons can't even do the single most basic thing the entire American propaganda machine was DESIGNED TO DO - sell imperialism.

@prietschka no, not at all! I am also agreeing with you. you pointed out an unwarranted level of intensity; and yeah, maybe I was unduly intense. I tried to keep things calm and tactful but that was at the ceiling of calm and tact I can manage.

@lmorchard At last, the 7-layer-burrito model of networking is actually appropriate!
