In her first campaign rally as the presumptive Democratic nominee to face Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris took aim at her Republican rival and a widely derided Trump-linked platform that provides a blueprint for the next GOP administration.

“Donald Trump wants to take our country backward,” she said in remarks from Milwaukee on Tuesday, just two days after President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign and endorsed his vice president.

Harris, who secured enough delegate pledges to clinch the Democratic Party’s nomination within a little over 24 hours after announcing her candidacy, linked Trump to Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation-backed plan for his administration, and one that his campaign is now furiously trying to distance itself from.

“He and his extreme Project 2025 agenda will weaken the middle class. We know we got to take that seriously,” Harris said. ”Can you believe they put that thing in writing? Read it. It’s 900 pages.”

The plan proposes cuts to Social Security and Medicare, tax breaks to corporations that will force “working families to foot the bill” and abolishes the Affordable Care Act, which “will take us back to a time when insurance companies had the power to deny people with preexisting conditions,” Harris said.

Honor system, which makes it even more creepy. He has to decide to tell his son he jerked off.

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 4 months ago

and the son wants to know? or has he deleted the app without telling?

[-] Zink@programming.dev 16 points 4 months ago

His son grew up with Mike Johnson as a father. He’s either a true believer or he knows that you do not step out of line when it comes to dad’s creepy shit.

His son just probably has a laptop and boots using a usb into linux. All of these christian goodie-do-gooders are going to create a nation of hackers.

Lmao part of the reason I went so deep into the Linux world was because my school board had super advanced network policies that were able to effectively block specific traffic and pretty much any commercial VPN. I had to build my own server at home to connect to from school using a bunch of traffic cloaking techniques to get unobstructed internet access.

I didn't really use any sites that were blocked anyway, but it made me go "watch me bitch" to whoever was overengineering the censorship system in our school board's IT.

Shadow socks? Ssh?

tell me.how

Also fuck your school board's it

The biggest hastle was that any persistent tunnel I would make over any protocol (I tried OpenVPN, WireGuard, SSH, Shadowsocks, etc) to any IP address would be blocked after (I think) 3 hours. This let them basically block any VPN that wasn't already explicitly blacklisted outright.

My solution was to make a simple API on the server that got a new IPv6 address for the server and returned it.

There was a WireGuard server running on port 53 and listening from any incoming IP. On my devices I would call the API every hour when idle and change the IP in the WireGuard config. On Android I had a Tasker automation to do this and on my laptop a shell script on a cronjob.

Lol I wasn't joking, it actually is an app and not the honor system. His 17 year-old son gets an immediate notice when his dad starts cranking his hog.

“It scans all the activity on your phone, or your devices, your laptop, what have you; we do all of it,” Johnson told the panel about the app.

“It sends a report to your accountability partner. My accountability partner right now is Jack, my son. He’s 17. So he and I get a report about all the things that are on our phones, all of our devices, once a week. If anything objectionable comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice. I’m proud to tell ya, my son has got a clean slate.”

Who is going to tell him that his son has a way around it?

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

Yeah imagine expecting a 17 year old boy to NOT look at porn.

[-] littlecolt@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

So it's looking at porn, not cranking his hog.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Are you suggesting that Mike Johnson is edging himself?

[-] irreticent@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Yes.

[-] littlecolt@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Maybe he just appreciates the porn, aesthetically.

[-] TriPolarBearz@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Forgive me son, for I have sinned.
