Whoopsie. Oh well, nothing to see here.

Man, I am the same age and dodged a bullet a couple years back when I had a colonoscopy as part of a diagnosis for a different issue and they found a fast-growing pre-malignant polyp. The doc said for sure it would have been cancer within a year. I get checked every year now (until they tell me to stop, I guess).

Fuck cancer.

He is gonna hit the slurs pretty hard in public soon and we'll hear Leavitt scold reporters for calling him a racist.

So if she stayed in the role after submitting her resignation (presumably talked into staying by her boss) and stayed because there was nobody to replace her and now she has been removed from the role, then who is doing her job?

It mostly looks like a mild slow down of user-facing release and rebrand of unpopular features.

It is not a retreat. The marketing team is just trying to figure out how to reframe things that caused public backlash.

He has free medical care for life.

His death doesn't reverse things, but the world will still be a better place without his presence.

They are charging him under two laws and well outside the intent of both. The first is what is informally called the Klan Act, a law enacted to protect black churches during reconstruction when they were targeted by the KKK. The second is called the FACE act, a law from the 90s that was intended to protect abortion clinics but in a compromise with conservatives protects churches as well - notably this law requires violence to have been inflicted so I have no idea how they justify using it, the original magistrate judge crossed it out on the warrants for the 3 protesters he agreed to charge.

This is all transparently vindictive prosecution of journalists who are unfriendly towards the administration. The protesters themselves should only be charged with trespassing or disturbing the peace at most, but the DoJ is entirely compromised into a weapon against the American people.

Just to be clear. He is still being charged, they arraignment judge just set the bail to $0. .

Because if middle managers even in other companies are tracking people's locations then people are more likely to think that my software that asks for their location will be used to track them even though it doesn't.

That is certainly a direction. I hope you have robust redunacies on the concentrator.

Using the Klan Act to prosecute a black journalist covering a protest on Martin Luther King Day. Our DoJ, ladies and gentlemen.

 

Can we stop trying to beatify this psychopath? It's possible to be against violence and still condemn Kirk and his violent legacy.

 

I recently got a fairphone and I want to move my pictures, contacts, messages, etc. from my old android phone to the new one. My initial search found some apps that do this but they look like absolute privacy nightmares. What is a good way to accomplish this without handing my phone contents out like candy to whichever malevolent spyware developer?
