"Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: [...] like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead." —Jonathan Swift

  • Why are you hounding them for the data? They would swear on their honor that Grok said it, and that's somehow not enough for you. They even asked a follow-up "Are you sure?", to which Grok reaffirmed its findings. Maybe you should be practicing law if you want to act like you care so much about "evidence".

  • I do care about cybersecurity, but I'm well past a point with the Trump administration where it's possible to take even the few good-sounding things coming out of it at face value. I don't believe for a second Trump or anyone in his cabinet values cybersecurity over: jingoistic "Made in America" posturing to his audience, enforcing a monopoly on spying on US citizens, giving as much power as possible to the two departments he's most heavily and illegally abusing, and using this as more "trade war" bullshit where multinational corporations can personally bribe him to get whitelisted.

    I might celebrate this if we had a POTUS who hadn't demonstrated over and over for a decade that everything they do is a ploy to turn the US into a kleptofascist hellscape.

    I agree with you; your concerns are rational. I don't think you or I share them with the Trump administration.

  • There is an exemption for products that the Department of Defense or the Department of Homeland Security have granted "Conditional Approval" after finding these devices do not pose such unacceptable risks. Router makers can apply to the FCC to get on the approved list.

    Wow, what an insane coincidence it's exactly those two departments and no one else. Golly, I wonder why. (Edit: To clarify, if you're going to do this stupid, posturing bullshit, I "get" the DoD because of the NSA, and DHS has CISA. Just really no one else? Seems like consolidating more control.)

    Jump

  • The way this kind of animal murder is normalized for drivers is beyond disturbing. Imagine a cyclist who came upon some birds blocking the cycle path, pulled out a pocket knife, and started stabbing them so they could get through 20 seconds faster.

    It's the same psychopathic "might makes right" mentality that makes people turn a blind eye to the needless, systemic, unfathomable horrors of animal agriculture.

  • Heathrow to pipe 'sounds of an airport' around airport

  • I actually disagree having listened to it as someone who gets sensory overload and panic attacks. (Disclaimer: I've just listened with headphones; the real-world implementation might change this.)

    I thought the music was pleasant. I can see it helping to organically drown out the loud, chaotic, stressful noises naturally present in the airport.

    I'm interested to hear what other people who get sensory overload think, though, since I'll bet it manifests in very different ways.

  • Idaho bans ‘Everyone Is Welcome Here’ classroom signs, calling them ideological

    Jump

  • That actually isn't weird at all. People treat "politics" as an epithet for "controversial politics", but in reality, almost everything in society is political – relating to power structures, the distribution of status and resources, and how those factors are determined. What you're getting at, of course, is that Republicans have shifted the Overton window so disgustingly far to the right that "everyone is welcome" in a classroom is treated as a controversial ideology.

    We're constantly conditioned to think of the status quo as apolitical in nature (it's just "normal" and the people who want to change it for better or worse are "the politicals"), but it is and always has been, and it's why we've needed so desperately these past several decades to remain politically engaged to protect what we want and to change what we don't. Now? Who knows, but we still need to try.

    Exit the Dragon: Judge strikes down legal complaint for having a purple dragon fursona watermarked on every page

    Jump

  • Damn, I'm usually an uptight fuck and think furries often bring this aspect of their identity into places where it isn't appropriate, but I think the judge has a stick up their ass here and 100% agree with drag. The judicial branch is a joke when this fucking chode gets to treat the highest court in the land as his fascist rubber stamp, but these people get their complaint stricken by a magistrate judge for a cute, harmless cartoon of a dragon.
