Surprised for the acronym it wasn’t something like “Homeland Initiative for Technological Logistics and Efficiency Reform”

Do any of them meet the classic stereotype when it comes to like licking infants’ faces n stuff? No offense to your buddies of course!

The trope would be something like:

MY loving family pet (ADescendantOfWolvesWithABiteForceOf230PoundsPerSquareInch) would never hurt a fly

(Of course it’s just a different risk tolerance like we all have with all kinds of things)

That’s so messed up in this context

 

Arizona Attorney General Chris Mayes strongly criticized the Trump administration this past Tuesday, describing its actions as dictatorial, authoritarian, and making a mockery of law and the Constitution.

A.G. Mayes spoke to the importance of checks and balances and the danger of ignoring established law. Mayes alleges Trump has transferred Congress's power to the unelected billionaire, Musk.

Mayes urges all Americans to stand up, speak out, and defend our democratic processes.

The math

It hurts

 

President Musk (summarized):

  • we were wrong
  • it's OK we were wrong because... well, NBD anyway
  • Americans ❤️ HIV -> Dead Africans

Transcript / Story below:

Musk questions value of US funding for HIV programmes in Mozambique

"Trump boasted last month that his administration had stopped $50m of “bomb-making” condoms being sent to the Palestinian enclave of Gaza, as part of a wider campaign led by billionaire Elon Musk to cut waste and fraud from federally funded programmes.

Trump provided no evidence for his claims, which caused widespread confusion. It later emerged that the recipients of the contraceptives may be a province in Mozambique sharing the same name, where USAID funds large-scale HIV prevention programmes.

Speaking to reporters at the White House on Tuesday, Musk was asked whether he would correct his previous statements. Here is what he said in response:

“Well, first of all, some of the things that I say will be incorrect and should be corrected. So nobody’s going to bat a thousand. We will make mistakes, but we’ll act quickly to correct any mistakes,” he said.

“I’m not sure we should be sending $50m worth of condoms to anywhere, frankly. I’m not sure that’s something Americans would be really excited about. That is really an enormous number of condoms, if you think about it. If it went to Mozambique instead of Gaza, I’m like, ‘Okay, that’s not as bad, but still, why are we doing that?’” Musk continued."

It’s safe, welcoming, and always a good time

Please be excellent to each other here. We have to self moderate or I’ll delete without being asked. Assume good intent.


I’m pro human which is why I’d rather have some people in office here in the US than others, and why I’m pro human rights.

Trans rights are human rights.

After reading criticism of the dems, this question resurfaced in my mind. I know we don’t have time machines, I know it’s easy to claim a false equivalency is being drawn. So note this question doesn’t represent reality. It represents a curiosity of a hypothetical.

Trans rights are human rights! Thank you.

PS: I hope neither this post nor its comments represent/produce any content that bad people will use to make arguments to further evil causes. Have I already erred? Yes I’m worried, I’m also curious enough to hit this post button here… gulp

alt text of featured screenshotImagine you have a time machine that lets you peek into the future, specifically the 2024 election. You can see two possible pathways:

Pathway 1: Democrats go all-in on trans rights.

They champion inclusive policies, fight for trans healthcare, and actively challenge anti-trans legislation. However, this galvanizes the opposition and they lose the election.

Pathway 2: Democrats stay completely silent on trans rights.

They avoid the issue entirely, focusing on other policy areas. This strategy helps them win the election, but trans rights are left in a vulnerable position.

The question is: which pathway would you choose?

Would you prioritize a Democrat win, even if it means sacrificing progress on trans rights? Or would you fight for trans rights, even if it means risking a loss?

 

Hey friends,

I'd like to:

  • Register for a social media account under a client's company name
  • Research the presence companies in the client's industry have on the site
  • Have a reasonable assurance the account will not be linked to my real name nor my network
  • Use a VM for 10-30? hr/mo, short term

I am:

  • US West Coast based
  • Tech savvy but don't code (unless copypasta)
  • Price conscious
  • Privacy conscious in terms of social media companies linking my account and my identity

Assumptions and UnderstandingsGiven the complexity of fingerprinting techniques, I am under the impression logging in to a remote computer and doing all this work from a browser there has one of the highest likelihoods of success. I'd measure success by not getting spammed with work-related ads, whenever I have to disable Ublock Origin at least. It seems likely a social network will know I'm using a remote desktop (based on IP and loading time/delays), but seems difficult for them to understand who exactly is using the cloud machine if I only use it for a singular purpose. I would hope data brokers aren't efficiently tying VM usage back to VM leasers.

I understand a VPS isn't typically suited for GUI usage, and VPNs can leave me more vulnerable to fingerprinting.

Finally, it looks like most of the low-end cloud PC options would support web browsing at a reasonable speed.


Questions:

  • Have I betrayed any misconceptions?
  • Is a cloud PC one of my best options, and if so:
  • Can you recommend a provider and specs?
  • Is there anything I'm missing?

Providers in consideration w/screenshots

Too cheap to be true? Requires some agreement...

Yay Amazon. Inexpensive.

Windows 365 Business Cloud PC

Priciest option.
