Boggles the mind how one can be a convicted felon and still be in the race, but if you’re in prison you can’t vote.

He doesn’t control much of anything, actually!
The king of Sweden has a similar exemption from the law, but he also doesn’t hold any political power. I also don’t know how waterproof his status is if he did something heinous enough.
Trump already has done heinous stuff.
And her opponent is a misogynistic chauvinist who mocks people with disabilities, diddles children, cheats on his wives, openly talks about sexually assaulting people, has open ties with Putin and Kim Jong-un, honestly I’d be here all day if I tried to scratch just the surface.
Yet voters were okay with him over a milquetoast career politician. She was held to a much higher standard than Trump ever was, hell she still is given that she is somehow being blamed for the farce that is Trump. Why don’t people blame him instead?
Which will work great until corporations implement systems that force it onto us. Microsoft building it into the operating system. Mozilla acquiring advertising companies and implementing AI bullshit. Google edging closer to having a monopoly on browsers.
I’ve learned nothing since I got my first phone and that bad boi didn’t even have a clock.
Yes, you’re reading it right, even if you pay, it doesn’t get rid of ads, they just stop tracking you.
🤢🤮
I hate what the internet has become.
I’m so excited for us to have two simultaneous pandemics.
I believe you’re allowed to run ads on free tiers and offer to remove them by paying. You’re not however allowed to track people without their consent, thus you can’t force personalised ads on users, and say that the only way to get rid of the privacy invasion is to pony up.
My apologies, I should’ve prefaced that my experience with CDNs come as a developer, but not for LibreTube. Think of it more as an overarching explanation of what a CDN is, and not for how LibreTube makes use of it as I don’t possess that information.
CDN stands for Content Delivery Network, and is essentially a network of servers that act as distributed caches to make accessing various assets faster for the end user. Say you have an application that needs to load a bunch of images and scripts, instead of going to the home server to fetch all that content (which could be on the other side of the world from you) the idea is that you save time by accessing those assets via a nearby CDN, reducing the chance of routing errors etc.
There are downsides to CDNs as well. End users might have privacy settings that block CDNs, they may cost money to make use of, might make deployment a bit more complicated. I my biggest issue with CDNs is that they may not respect the end user’s privacy, so if I develop an application and I really care about my users’ privacy, I’d likely endeavour to not make use of a CDN as I can’t guarantee that the CDN won’t be a weak link in my chain. It doesn’t matter how much I respect people’s privacy if the CDN stores logs and tracks my users.
What does Iran have to do with things?
Dangerous. Don’t insert things without a flared base or some other appendage for easy removal. That thing looks less like a sex toy and more like a paperweight.
I feel this. It is satisfying, but it’s not really productive.
Well they do charge particularly hard for SSDs as well. They’ve found a way to eat the cake twice.
Companies primarily make decisions to maximise the profitability of someone and it’s never the consumer.
I think the spines are part of the background, a bush or a tree or something. Also saw an elephant. Elephant standing in front of a bush.
Likely born from frustration. It sucks knowing that the future you’re working towards is likely one you’ll never get to experience.
A small step in the right direction is still a step.
This is a fair point I hadn’t considered!
