We have to send monitors to that prison immediately until he’s safely back home

Oh so you just want a president to smuggle another president into the country?

(Disingenuous ass with that BS he unloaded in the Oval the other day, pretending like he was being asked to bring Xi, Vlad, & Kim to Guantánamo)

Backchannel until [super]majority agreement achieved before going public!

 

(corp steals from world, man uses theft to help brother communicate)

Wanted to ask on /c/fuck_ai but didn’t want to get banned or ruffle feathers and miss a good discussion

Replies are welcome regardless of whether anyone personally finds the “theft“ premise preposterous - probably most useful as a thought experiment here, to pretend you & I are arguing against someone who has always been anti-AI

DDBing (DDG) hates quotation marks, exact match searches, and is slow to crawl. Google’s right quick, impressive.

Thank you 🫡 was interested to see that

tl;dr it’s worse than I thought

I’m not strong enough to admit that I hoped there would be one story where they weren’t jamming it down their throat and begging for more

Certainly made me mad enough to reply all over this thread. This is the kind of conversation that’s really useful, that we’re having now, I think!

So as soon as DC criminals are sentenced for insider trading, illegal deportations, and so on, rewarding ourselves with using words that distract our allies could be a nice treat!

Nobody likes sitting princess, hands in their lap, waiting and waiting for years… but if it earns us a few more minutes of discussion on healthcare, without distraction, I like that trade-off :)

Thanks for coming back & chatting

 

Automated Summary (Subject To Error)

• President Trump has launched an organized "retribution campaign" against elite American institutions since November 2024, with most targets quickly capitulating

• Major law firms made deals with Trump:

  • Paul, Weiss pledged $40M in pro bono services to Trump-supported causes
  • Skadden Arps promised $100M in free legal work before Trump took action
  • Some firms (Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, Jenner & Block) chose to fight in court

• Media organizations have settled or adjusted:

  • ABC News settled a defamation lawsuit for $15M toward Trump's presidential library
  • CBS News appears poised to settle for millions
  • Washington Post and LA Times adjusted editorial content to please the White House

• Universities have complied with demands:

  • Columbia University agreed to nine policy changes to unfreeze $400M in federal funding
  • Many hired Republican lobbyists to maintain good relations with the administration

• Key reasons for compliance include:

  • Financial self-preservation and desire to return to business as usual
  • Extensive financial entanglements between private institutions and federal government
  • Wealthy institutions paradoxically more vulnerable due to multiple pressure points
  • Limited collective resistance as "everybody's looking out for number one"

Developers (two dudes) are super responsive and would likely release an IP customization feature upon request. Is there any service that would tolerate this [D]DOS-y kind of behavior that would feel more privacy friendly than Cloudflare?

IsThereNet [for macOS] watches for internet connection status changes and draws a colored line at the top of the screen to indicate the status.


Edit: Thanks everybody!

(1) ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Echo Requests hardly constitute a burden on a server.
(2) There is little privacy concern simply exposing your IP to Cloudflare.
(3) Uptime-Kuma can be self hosted to accomplish this task with more bells and whistles.
(4) There is an appetite for daydreaming of DDOSing bad Alphabetic actors ;) You civilly digidisobedient rascals!
