Edit: I need to amend this, as this turned out to be a false story perpetuated by the RoK to spread the idea that their little gestures of goodwill are the impetus for peaceful relations.
I don't want to post the article I found it in, since of course it's illegal for any western outlet to not point out how evil and authoritarian the #DPRK is even when it's doing something objectively good, but I'll summarize it here:
The DPRK has dismantled at least a good portion of its loudspeakers along the DMZ. These loudspeakers were installed in response to the RoK's own loudspeakers blaring K-pop and propaganda over the border; the DPRK's loudspeakers more commonly just made loud, annoying noises in return (dogs howling, banging gongs, etc.) This dismantling is in response to the RoK ceasing its own broadcasts. Broadcasts have mutually ceased in the past, but this is the first time, as far as I know, we've actually seen dismantling of equipment on either side.
Good news for people following the ups and downs of this inter-Korea conflict. Personally, I imagine part of this has to do with the new, more progressive presidency in the RoK after Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment, the United States's economic shifting of the globe to create a stronger eastern bloc, and strengthening of the DPRK's own international ties with Russia and China.
@Comrade Ferret I need to amend this, as this turned out to be a false story perpetuated by the RoK to spread the idea that their little gestures of goodwill are the impetus for peaceful relations.
Taking critical positions — for instance, to denounce the massacre in Palestine or on any other matter of national or international significance — automatically makes the intellectual a pariah within the contemporary information-cultural system, which is instead based on uniformity and the total depoliticisation of thought.
I must say that some of the most strict "intellectuals" pursue a life largely striped of opinion and maintain a mathematical frame of reference. ( I have in mind a certain nuclear-particle physicist from Switzerland whom I know).
#Marjorie Taylor Greene Busted Again: Americans, Those Who Are Being Sold To You As The Heroes Are The Ones Selling You Out! » Sons of Liberty Media Once again, Marjorie Taylor Greene has been caught betraying her constituents. If you remember, Marjorie Taylor Green, the one who decried the “Vaccine Nazis” and who boasted about not being vaccinated, was found to be guilty of investing into the very companies that she was publicly condemning. Do you remember Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene owns stock in Walt Disney… Greene also owns up to $45,000 worth of Disney stock.
I think the reason why people are so crazy about #capybaras is their gigantic philtrum. It looks like good ol’ Miss Tittlewaddle, the ideal teacher, strict but fair, looking very strict yet fairly benevolently upon you after you finally managed the recital of all 285 rules of acquisition without the slightest mistake.
X: Sulaiman Ahmed @ShaykhSulaiman 2h JUST IN: SAUDI TV REPORTS LAST MINUTE CEASEFIRE TALKS BETWEEN ISRAEL AND HAMAS
Mediators are holding intensive talks with Israel and Hamas to reach an agreement before a full-scale Israeli invasion of Gaza City.
Sources say proposals include ending the war, full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, release of all Israeli hostages, disarmament of factions, expulsion of several Hamas military leaders abroad, and establishing a technocratic administration with a professional police force.
The US, Egypt, and Qatar are reportedly discussing the package among themselves before presenting it to both sides. An agreement is possible unless Israel insists on continuing the war.
Oh boy a thrilling final boss where I can just pogo jump off his heart infinitely and none of his attacks hit. And they KNOW I can do this because he has a spiral beam attack that you can ONLY dodge by pogo jumping off his heart but I guess they assume I'm too retarded to remember I can do that for literally every other attack.
last night I was at the pub and these two rather large ladies were speaking with a thick accent, so I approached them and asked «are you two ladies from Ireland?» and one of them said «It's Wales, you moron» «oh sorry, are you two whales from Ireland?» and then I woke up here at the hospital, officer.
I think I realize I absolutely hate these devs now every time I see they give Kumori every single good line in a game with a two person protagonist cast. I don't need to converse with these people to smell the reddit milady stench
If they bothered to give the male protag a personality it wouldn't be so bad because evil girl good guy duo does need BOTH characters to have that level of charisma to work. Soul Hackers 2 managed it well.
On the flip side when has a female character ever been more interesting than Ryu in any proper Team Ninja game?
@Goalkeeper You can technically sacrifice either but she is of course the one who volunteers to stay behind first and on Hard you have to do a boss rush with the sacrifice so of course you click her because she plays like a Contra char in a Ninja Gaiden game
@LittleTom they wouldn't have to change a single line she said if they just bothered to write Kenji half as well but all they could do is a reddit romance where the woman is the only contributor to the relationship mixed with reddit Star Wars where nobody can imagine a hero saying anything interesting ever and it is more agonizing to watch because it would be the easiest writing layup out there to fix this and make this a human romance or at least rivals turned friends.

We depend on a calculator to produce identical results no matter who uses it, but identical results in a writing context are boring at best. At worst, these identical results amount to an insidious reproduction of the tropes and stereotypes present in the source text, as has been well documented by OpenAI’s own researchers. As Vauhini Vara argues in Searches: Selfhood in the Digital Age and Lilian-Yvonne Bertram demonstrates in A Black Story May Contain Sensitive Content, the training data have profound implications for thoughts and the shape they take. Far from being a comprehensive, value-neutral pool of all human writing, large language models like GPT have been trained on disproportionate quantities of Adventure, Fantasy, and Romance novels, as well as male-dominated internet spaces like Wikipedia and Reddit—the source, perhaps, of all those instances of “the real treasure was…,” which is of course a time-honored meme.

If you advocate violence, you get a block. I don't want to hear about "it's the only way" or "we must utilize their tools" or any other bullshit like that. We need less violence, more tolerance, and move love.

Most Republicans and Democrats would agree that nobody should be denied access to financial services because of politics or religion. That’s essentially what President Trump’s executive order on Thursday declares, though preventing “debanking” may require Congress.
President Trump’s family business sued Capital One this year for allegedly closing the company’s accounts after the Jan. 6, 2021, riot and claimed other large banks rejected $1 billion in his cash deposits. We can’t confirm his claims, but people across the political spectrum in recent years have said their accounts were cancelled for unexplained reasons.
Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen last autumn said he was aware of 30 tech entrepreneurs who were “debanked in the last four years.” The Alliance Defending Freedom keeps a list of de-banked conservative groups. The Blockchain Association has identified “more than 30 concrete cases” of de-banking owing to “involvement in the digital asset industry.”
Banks admit to de-banking, though they fault their regulators. Much as Biden officials pressured social-media companies to censor dissenters during the pandemic, bank examiners have pressed banks to cut off certain groups, businesses or individuals.
Starting in the mid-1990s, financial regulators started considering “reputational risk” in grading banks for safety and soundness. If a bank provides services to an unsavory business, examiners could sanction it.
Por casualidad he puesto una emisora de noticias israelí en inglés. La emisora es de Jerusalén y se llama Israel News Talk Radio. No sé como se llama el programa.
En los 10 minutos que he estado escuchando han estado pidiendo la limpieza étnica de toda la población árabe del país.
Se preguntaban que cuánto costaría expulsar a todos los árabes del país. ¿Una semana? Que esto les valdría las críticas de la comunidad internacional pero que al poco tiempo se distraerían y les dejarían en paz.
Y también han dicho que permitiendo que entre comida en Gaza lo único que conseguían era que los palestinos (se refieren a ellos como "so-called palestinians") lo usasen como propaganda para dejar mal a los israelíes.
Y que había que hacer "lo que había que hacer", pero que no lo hacían "porque temen más a los hombres que a Dios".
@cygnathreadbare @ArtistSynth justo hoy he hablado con un amigo que vive en Berlín y me decía que se está incluso planteando irse de Alemania porque el tema allí es atroz, que incluso en los círculos más queer el sionismo es recalcitrante y el tema del genocidio del pueblo palestino es un tercer raíl.
@ArtistSynth descarté migrar a una instancia muy anarquista en su momento porque en sus normas se declaraban muy anarquistas pero que cuidadin con criticar a Israel que eso es casi siempre antisemitismo o algo así.
(Bueno en realidad lo que me hizo descartarlos fue lo de que no permitían eL BDSM porque según ellos el lenguaje usado en el bdsm sonaba "autoritario" y aunque el BDSM me de igual no puedo tomarme en serio a unos admins que han redactado esa chorrada)
@cygnathreadbare @ArtistSynth yo estuve buscando hace un par de años para irme fuera de España y lo que me acabó echando atrás de Alemania fue toda su postura con Israel. Estoy ahora en Berlín y el otro día pasé por el ayuntamiento y me quedé: flipando.
Han tenido que llegar a la fase de la hambruna forzada para que incluso en Alemania el tono empiece a cambiar.
Pero desde luego es delirante. Y no es casualidad que sea justo eso lo que están usando como excusa en proyectos autoritarios para destruir la libertad de expresión, como en EEUU ahora con Trump
@thisisthebreath I’m just trying to find something besides Spectrum. TMO 4.26Mbps down was the best Brightspeed won’t confirm unless I call Just ordered AT&T to see how they are for home 5G
I had to cancel my Verizon "5G" home internet. I had full signal. I live a block away from the tower. At peak hours, it would drop to less than 1 Mbps. The idiots at Verizon sent me three wifi repeaters to fix the problem. Fucking retards.
@moshguy I indirectly have Verizon cell as Spectrum uses their towers. When I was in NYC I had FIOS and that was fine, but a decade prior I paid to break my cell contract due to the crappy service.

TEHRAN, Aug. 09 (MNA) – Oman’s Foreign Ministry strongly denounced Israel’s decision to cement its military occupation of Gaza, calling it a continuation of flagrant violations of international law and Palestinian rights.
The tech giant is sidestepping guardrails that websites use to prevent being scraped, data show, in a move whistleblowers say is unethical and potentially illegal.

I'm very curious to know what effect this has on the traffic. From the articles I read, they usually aren't that forthcoming about their scraping attempts.
I've been looking at The Ultimate Nginx Bad Bot Blocker, I just want to make sure it doesn't include Mastodon due to the "DDOS" link preview issue.
It claims, "The Ultimate Nginx Bad Bot, User-Agent, Spam Referrer Blocker, Adware, Malware and Ransomware Blocker, Clickjacking Blocker, Click Re-Directing Blocker, SEO Companies and Bad IP Blocker with Anti DDOS System, Nginx Rate Limiting and Wordpress Theme Detector Blocking. Stop and Block all kinds of bad internet traffic even Fake Googlebots from ever reaching your web sites. "
I think this is the problem that Cloudflare has been trying to solve: they have a team that watches and profiles bot behavior across their clients and block bots that supposedly belong to AI crawlers.
I have a lot of mixed feelings about what this means to the web, and how this creates yet another for-profit intermediary between users and sites, but here you go: modern problems require modern solutions and all that.
To help preserve a safe Internet for content creators, we’ve just launched a brand new “easy button” to block all AI bots. It’s available for all customers, including those on our free tier.
does that mean Fedi people can take part in the class action law suit that could do "immense harm not only to a single AI company, but to the entire fledgling AI industry and to America’s global technological competitiveness." as stated by said industry reps? :think_bread:
not just Meta, none of them respect any content any more. No point in robots.txt. Will not rate limit what so ever. They all chop and change ips and user agents to evade limiting.
Regularly kills smaller servers dead, then move on. (If your lucky) they are trashing the Web for small hosts.
lol. They prohibit, shadowban, or actual-ban any acknowledgement of the existence of the fediverse on their own platforms, while also scraping it for content illegally.
my theory for why we're in this mess has long been that the leadership and functionaries in the Democratic party prefer fundraising off of the outrageous things Trump and his cronies do than winning elections, because it's simply more profitable for them.
The outrageous corruption of the Republicans makes Democrats look normal by contrast, but the motivations are similar. They're rich and like being rich and if losing makes them richer, that's what they've got to do.
