oh absolutely. If time travel existed I'd totally go back to 2009 and buy bitcoin for pennies. How could you NOT want to use time travel to get money?

"What did the government do to them?"

Check the alligator's stomachs. They were definitely killed. People don't just "disappear" while being alive.

Hundreds of people who were once detained at "Alligator Alcatraz" have disappeared.

Lawyers and family members have been unable to reach them.

It’s as if they never existed.

I can't get over how the CDC layoffs are coming less than two months after the attempted mass shooting. The agency is being taken apart brick by brick. The public servants there do not deserve this.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

We need to build a wall around Texas and isolate them from the rest of the country

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

I dropped into Twitter. It's terrible. The worst of the right wing from US, UK and Australia. I baited a few trolls and came back here.

I mean people have made 3rd party applications for stream deck. But native first-party software is always better imo. No third-party wave link software afaik

I UNWILLINGLY run Windows 11 (on a supported PC) because games that require anti-cheat are not (yet) possible on Linux (Also mainly because @elgato.com only makes their software available for Windows & Mac 😭)

I hope you get therapy because there's something seriously messed up in the head of anyone that cheers on the murder of a human being

Microsoft should legitimately actually kill Windows and make their own Linux Distro to replace Windows.

"Arkansas is trying to save one of the most extreme book censorship laws in recent memory, one that would allow jailing librarians and booksellers for keeping materials on their shelves that fall under the statute’s broad definition of “harmful to minors.”

Arkansas wants to jail librarians. The First Amendment won’t allow it.

Arkansas’s Act 372 would let the state jail librarians for “harmful” books. The First Amendment won’t let censorship win.

We all knew it was never about the porn. But if your normie bros wanna keep torrenting their marble and star worms they're gonna have to actually take the gooners seriously for once.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

American here. The UK needs to fuck off with pushing its shitty censorship laws onto other countries. It's bad enough that UK citizens have to deal with those censorship laws. But to try to push it onto the citizens of other countries is asinine.

i mean you probably SHOULD care about the politics of a right-wing asshole that is anti-lgbtq+ and anti-immigrant. Anyone that threatens the ability of minorities to simply *exist* is an unwavering threat to humanity & public safety

I wish Microsoft would stop doing everything they can to make Windows horrifically awful.

Hell, at this point. Microsoft needs to just kill Windows entirely and make their own "Windows Linux Distro". It would be a massive improvement over the utter disaster of the past 10 years

A Mainer received an Amazon package containing 250 missing ballots for a GOP-backed referendum that would restrict ballot access. Amazon claims the box contained only the expected items, leading some to ask whether the mishap was a political stunt. https://bit.ly/42DKdwZ
