I could’ve sworn Lemmy added a “upvote multiple times” feature, but I can’t find it.

I think you’re going to lose a few people with that first number being off by a decimal place, but the substance of what you said is still relevant and gives insight about the Lemmy experience right now.

I hope this doesn’t just dissolve into hand-waving and general dismissal based on “he said / she said”. Someone call the bluff and let’s see the cards face-up.

No microwave I’ve seen has ever actually varied the wattage. It just essentially does pulse width modulation, so 60% power might be on (at full power) for 6 seconds and off for 4 seconds. It averages out to the desired power, but it’s not exactly the same as what it kind of implies.

I guess their statement is news because they just said it, but the behavior is classic by this point. GOP–the “O” means “obstruction”.

I hope they keep pursuing this inquiry:

At the time of writing, it is unclear whether these virtual impersonations resulted in any criminal investigations or charges against US-based victims whose IP addresses were hijacked as part of the 911 S5 botnet. WIRED is awaiting a response from the Department of Justice regarding this concern.

I’m not even really sure any of it is really about China. This AP article updating about the progress of the attempt to ban DJI drones suggests Autel as “Best DJI drone alternative”. Autel, a Chinese company based in Shenzhen.

Edit: I suppose that could just be the author(s) making an error, but, given the focus on one company in the drone market and a total lack of evidence about security concerns, I just wonder if these aren’t all just companies trying to buy market control through lobbying.

If they control the domain, they can see all incoming mail delivery attempts to sniff for addresses that were used. They’d still have to know the domain of the email address for the login they were attacking, which might not be super useful if they’re going after a certain login. But, going the other direction would be more fruitful: buy a domain, dump all incoming mail into a catch-all box, and start looking for bank alert emails or other periodic/promo emails. You might find services that just use email addresses for a login name, or ones that have a “forgot username” feature that only uses email for recovery. Multi-factor auth spread across multiple services (email, SMS, authenticator codes…) would help mitigate significantly by making them also have to take over a phone number or get an old device. Not impossible, but then you’re making them work harder for it, and when good account recovery services heavily mask the available targets, it makes it harder to know what else to acquire (e.g., a specific phone number) even if they get as far as full email domain control.

Eating plants isn’t more expensive than eating meat, just eating plant-based attempts at mimicking meat.

fuck yeah

Morocco?

An all-powerful, omniscient creator of literally spacetime itself, and he needs an anthill–one that is, on his scale, far smaller than a subatomic particle–to defend his honor against other anthills within the same infinitesimally small particle and to keep defending their anthill by some arbitrary and tiny point in this spacetime so they can have an everlasting party together outside of his pet spacetime, of which that anthill is, itself, constituted.

edit: TIL! Thanks for reminding me that if something seems far out, chances are that my understanding just hasn’t caught up.

I want to believe it’ll be hard to find a school that won’t already have at least a small group of people who are already going to not make it an easy “nod and clap” talk.

He doesn’t even feel constrained by borders. Poisons opponents on foreign soil.

Well, too late to do anything about it. The candidates are now, as the article says,

“Come November they are going to be choosing between two individuals — Joe Biden and Trump, who is dramatically worse when it comes to making any progress at all on climate,” she said.

That’s it. If we want anything different, we have to look for congressional candidates who will change voting such that 3rd party candidates can be taken seriously, and we have to fill ballots with better choices during primaries. After primaries, in our “first across the finish line” system, it’s all over except for the big tug-of-war between the two parties.

And that takes time. So this year, you’re either voting for Biden in hopes of “best we can do right now,” or literally any other action (including inaction) is giving it over to a worse outcome for our climate goals.

Ok, if I’m not going to live long enough to see aging reversed, at least I might get to try naturally different-colored bleu cheese.
