Otger than needing to sign into an additional account, why does everyone hate this so much? Halo makes me sign into a Microsoft account, but i havent seen nearly the amount of hate for that. Is there somerhing worse about PSN accounts? Not trying to start shit, just wondering what I’m missing.

Thank you! Didn’t realize it was broken. I’ve updated it.

You could get a raspberry pi and a camera module. MotionEye can be installed as the OS. It requires a network connection to your LAN to set it up, but it can be disconnected afterwards. I believe it can be configured to store all files locally.

The fact that they allow you to order a physical voucher with a product key, and that product key serves as your only authentication makes it especially anonymous. I love it.

I’ve been looking into Payload CMS. It’s FOSS for the non Enterprise features I believe.

The gall of asking for compassion from the very system he abused to ruin the lives of children. What a piece of shit.

Sometimes I wonder if it’s by design.

You’re absolutely right that they dont fight dirty enough. Hiwever, I’d say that Democrats lost largely because Kamala was too cowardly to distance herself from biden and his awful policies. She lost because she chose to court moderate Republicans (who gave her the finger and voted for the fascist. Big surprise!).

Biden pardoning his loser son does nothing for the most marginalized folks who will have to deal with Trump’s fascist regime in the coming year. It’s not a good look that the only time Biden “fights dirty” is to serve his own interests.

Abused his power?

Yes, I would say that pardoning your own son as president is a conflict of interest, unethical, and an abuse of power. It demonstrates that Hunter is above the laws that Joe Biden helped architect. I’m surprised that this sentiment is so controversial.

I’m specifically talking about the silly framing of “a child” rather than “his child”

1. Biden sponsored the crime bill that put those people behind bars in the first place.

2. Biden abused his powers to pardon his son for crimes that other people will remain in prison for. Crimes that are more severely punished because of Biden.

Its actually quite relevant to the conversation

I think pardoning a child for a dumb drug offence is fine. 🤷‍♂️

His son is hardly a child at 54 years old. Biden is also responsible for thousands of people behind bars because of “a dumb drug offense”.

I don’t think that Trump should be the bar for morality and ethics in this country. It’s lazy to bring him into this conversation.

I’m used to unlikeable politicians. For me, her downfall was her unwillingness to stand up for what’s right during a time when people are trying to undo progress from the last 60 years. Sure, she might have said the right thing every now and then, but she was too afraid to champion anything. She had no conviction; just “vibes”

The person you’re replying to never even refuted the claim about China. Many people don’t know about the 13th amendment, so it’s actually relevant to the conversation. Your weirdly hostile reply isn’t relevant because it’s reductive and misplaced. If you truly cared about forced labor, you wouldn’t be trying to squash conversation about it.

While i abhor Bush Jr, I would put Reagan as #1. He paved the way for Bush Jr. And Biden. IMO Bush Sr is tied for the #3 spot simply for pardoning members of the Iran-Contra affair.

Nixon is one of the worst presidents we’ve ever had though, and I would put him higher than any of the others. The “war on drugs” caused so many rippling horrors domestically. And those horrors don’t compare to what he did abroad.

I feel like a bigger indicator of being a “full person” is getting over fear/disgust of public transit. I know plenty of people who are more well-adjusted than I am who don’t own a car.

Cloudflare is a CIA front. They offer “free” DDoS protection + static proxy thereby giving Cloudflare the ability to MitM all TLS connections thru their servers.

I just started to learn about privacy in depth this year, and this little fact about Cloudflare has sat with me more than most things that I’ve learned. I feel like very few people think about the implications of Cloudflare’s practices. Even if its not a CIA front (I feel like it is), we should feel uncomfortable giving any private entity such power. Unrelated, but their crazy lava-lamp wall, as cool as it is, kinda gives me bad vibes lol.

Either NATO goes and fights Russia directly, which is highly unlikely

Yep, that’s evidenced by statements going back to 2022 by senior US officials (including John Kirby himself at one point I believe) stating that even if Russia used a tactical nuke within Ukraine, we would not respond with direct military intervention.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/will-biden-putin-goes-nuclear-experts-say-nuclear-response-unlikely-no-rcna32756

If Russia used a nuclear weapon of any type, “I expect (the president) to say we’re in a new situation, and the U.S. will directly enter the war against Russia to stop this government that has not only broken so many international laws and violated human rights but also now violated the nuclear taboo,” said Evelyn Farkas, a former top Pentagon official for Russia and now executive director of the McCain Institute. “Putin will be signing the order on changing the regime.”

But two U.S. officials briefed on the issue did not agree, with one saying, “Unless they use them on NATO we’re probably not going to respond militarily.”

So if the use of nuclear weapons isn’t a red line, then what is? And back to your point, what’s the point of continuing this war if we’re not going to intervene and it’s only going to result in my Ukranian deaths? Personally, I think that the answer has been clear from the beginning. We’re willing to use the Ukranian people as fodder to dwindle Russia’s resources.

Ah yeah, I was going for instantly recognizable
