I can't imagine having so few problems in life that the absolute worst thing that has ever happened to you is a single word on a character select screen being changed, but I guess when that's the only hardship you've ever faced in life, it must feel agonizing enough to justify murder.

The 287(g) program allowing local police to act as federal #immigration officers in collaboration with ICE has expanded from 135 agreements in 25 states to 628 in 40 states since January. A criminal justice professor explains why this undermines community trust and public safety: buff.ly/orKOZ01

Surge of ICE agreements with local police aim to increase deportations, but many police forces have found they undermine public safety

History shows that building the trust of immigrants is an effective tactic in combating local crime and making entire communities safer.

Ukraine just rewrote the rules of war

“This should serve to remind us of why it is so dangerous to have such a chaotic U.S. administration at such a dangerous moment. At a time like this, it would be nice if the president had a fully staffed National Security Council led by a tested, seasoned adviser — rather than an NSC that is led by a moonlighting secretary of state and that has just been purged of many of its most experienced staffers.”

@chris In that sense, the stakes haven't changed for Russia at all. Nuking Ukraine would show conventional weakness and cost them one or two allies. And the allies are important today and in the future. And more important after any nuclear use, tactical or strategical. Russia would open pandoras box again after it was kept tightly closed for almost 80 years.

@OneEyeKing Oh to be sure there IS but it's hard to get it to work at range, but search for "HRF" or "HeRF" gun, it stands for high energy RF, and basically it invokes using a magnetron out of an old microwave, some high voltage photoflash or other capacitors capable of rapid discharge without damage, an inverter to step up battery voltage to around 4kv, and a trigger mechanism of some sort. These are also useful devices for testing Faraday shielding of computer equipment, granted often a destructive test, but a good one if reliability during high EMF conditions is important.

@nanook I don't think that it was ever possible to divide people into such a distinctive two groups without a major kinetic conflict. It can only be achieved by emotional hacking through hijacking of information. TV news is outdated. Now most people receive news based on the echo chamber they subscribe to which muffles any contradicting ideas. There is very little deviation and individualism. It's all emotionally based tribalism. This was never the case. Also feminism strengthened it.

@OneEyeKing I guess I'd be in a better position to agree or disagree if you were more explicit with regard to what "two groups" you are referring to, even without specifying it suggests a binary thinking mode that is not in line with a much more complex and nuanced reality. That TV news is outdated, well at least there is one thing we can agree upon. There are many echo chambers as you say and so there is not the widespread agreement that you think exists. Yes I will concur emotional tribalism is real and is problematic.

Thomas Sowell talks a lot about "culture", but fails to admit that culture is also blood-feud, and convictions, and responsible to wiping out entire Civilizations. Thomas Sowell is not a very smart dude.

Western Civilization is building an ethical, not a cultural Society. Something the ancients - Greece and Rome - started building. Of course they fallen into complacence, and decadence, and Thomas Sowell is correct on that record.

Yet the fact that we are building a Civilization - not a "cluture", not "society", not "code"... escapes him.

Thomas Sowell is not ignorant, not stupid. He's your average dude who has not figured it out how to fix broken things, so he is putting extraordinary efforts into it.

"Culture" wiped out the entire South American structure of Civilizations. Not just one nations, one tribe, one race - but basically re-written History.

There has been never critical views to "culture", such as that modern civilization shall never affect indigenous people... oh, wait.

It took us thousands of years of "evolution" to realize that "culture" is more destructive than the hydrogen bomb.

I rest my case, and I wish Thomas Sowell would stop hawking about it.

in reply to Nanook

pleroma - Link to source

FourOh-LLC

The relevancy is that some things are not broken, and they do not need fixing. The fact that there are tyrants, the rich and poor, and other extremes is not an exception. Its not something broken.

Have you ever seen a tornado constructing a condo, how come all we ever see is tornadoes deconstructing them? Only a fool complains about tornadoes in that context.

How come its always the poor who wants to "re-distribute wealth"? How come the rich is not protesting on the streets for being obstructed in their wealth re-distribution efforts?

Half of what Aristotle stated has to do with the struggle over limited resources, but 2300 years ago the concept of "limited resources" was not in the text books. So smart and curious people created these cumbersome revelations about the same fundamental fact.

I'm grokking here..

in reply to Nanook

pleroma - Link to source

FourOh-LLC

I brought up Thomas Sowell because a lot of memes keep quoting him.

Its only commerce, the market, its business that is fully aligned with the governing forces of limited resources. NONE of the other cultural and civilizational institutions matter anymore. I saw in the last few decades how Law, Education, Arts has been subverted by activists, and all those institutions are now on the verge of collapse.

Everything can be re-imagined except profit. What makes one person successful, and the other person a failure is their capacity to recognize this. Unless you are "gainfully employed" you will not likely to succeed.

Unless of course your are a sociopath, a criminal, a professional victim and a grifter, and so on. Or a warlord, a tryrant.

in reply to Nanook

pleroma - Link to source

FourOh-LLC

I did not call him unintelligent, I called him average who is putting out some extraordinary effort, but most of it is wasted on me, and others like me. The same goes for Aristotle, as I already explained.

I think people like Thomas Sowell would do better with deconstructing something that would directly benefit "Humanity" like Islam, Communism, Activism. These are parasitic institutions, and I'm convinced we could get rid of the social and economic classes of people who are promoting them. Again, these are not something you can or want to "destroy" or "fix", but something you want to clearly describe for what they truly are - parasitic institutions.

By the way, you CAN get a law degree, a PhD, even a Noble price with low IQ. You CAN become a business mogul with low IQ. You can be very effective in a great many ways with low IQ.

in reply to FourOh-LLC

pleroma - Link to source

FourOh-LLC

We managed to described a great many destructive things such as false advertisement, predatory lending, monopoly. The reason we are able to describe them is because they are all involved with financial transactions, dollars and cents, without any rounding errors.

Describing why Activism or Communism is parasitic may be done the same way, as both of these are bottom-less money pits never building any tangible wealth.

Islam is the same way, and to me the visit by Trump was an eye-opener. The wealth of the emirates is based on natural resources, based on depleting them. Trump brought them the idea of Commerce, in intellectual assets, a wealth-building not resource-depleting proposal.

I did not vote for Trump because of politics, I voted for him because of his constructive ideas.

𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐮

It somehow made its way to my Explore page on Twitter when I check there for news. I think it got so much attention because of how apathetic all of the person's "online friends" were towards his suicidal posts. They all just completely supported it and played into it (I get dark humor but this somehow just feels like straight apathy) or would change the subject into something else entirely like a casual conversation, without paying attention to the suicide tendency in question. They grew desensitized to it... until it finally happens.
So I think this type of apathetic behavior might be shocking for people looking in from the outside. Even for someone like me, I did find it odd. They glorify suicide. Where the fuck are the person's parents when all of this is going down?
Younger people nowadays are fucked inside these mentally unwell communities. I remember growing up, if someone would say such things online, I personally would take it seriously and try to talk to them. Now they all just want to kill themselves and propagate the idea inside the group. ​:lmao:​ I believe turning to online communities for "help", where there are more mentally unwell retards constantly pushing each other over the edge with whatever they are trying to deal with, is adding fuel to the fire. I see it constantly, people coping online with other bad habits that the community they're in pushes on them.

Unironically, I think a lot of them need Jesus. lol

To add your icloud email address to any desktop mail client on Linux, enter these parameters:

The server for receiving email is imap.mail.me.com. It uses SSL, and the port is 993.
The user is your icloud address, and for the password, you'll need to generate an app specific password.

support.apple.com/kb/HT204397

As per sending email, the server is smtp.mail.me.com, SSL is needed, and the port is 587. The address and password are the same that you entered for email reception.

For contacts and calendars, the parameters to enter are the following:
As the calendar address, enter caldav.icloud.com/ . Your user name is your icloud address, and your password is the app password you generated earlier.
Same goes for contacts, except the address to enter is contacts.icloud.com/.

You can access Notes and Reminders through the web portal. They only have the basic features. iWork apps, like Numbers, pages and Keynote are also all accessible.

Now for photos, the web interface is serviceable, you get your albums, a list of pictures, you can upload photos manually and have them show up on all your other devices, but you won't be able to edit them from here.

There is no auto upload app that will let you send pictures from your desktop to your icloud photo library either, you'll have to do manual uploads.

There's a command line utility called icloud photos downloader:

github.com/icloud-photos-downl…

As per files stored in iCloud drive, this one will also only be accessible through the web interface, you can't mount it as external storage or auto sync files to a Linux desktop, which kinda sucks.

If you use Apple Music, there's a fantastic Linux desktop client, called Cider.
You can install it from flathub,or as a snap, a debian package, and an appimage, as well as from the AUR.

There is simply no way to access your imessages on Linux. No web interface, no app, no third party client. it's a closed source program and protocol, and so unless Apple decides to offer a web interface or to open the protocol, you'll have to keep using your smartphone or tablet to answer these.

Connecting devices


What if you want to plug in a device and grab its contents on Linux, though? Well, that's supported. By default, when plugging in your iphone or ipad, it will show up as a camera device, provided you accept that access on the popup that appears on your device. It will show up with a DCIM folder.

It will be mounted as read-only, so you can't transfer files to it.

You can do that using iFuse: hukot.net/community/en/tutoria…

KDE Connect lets you sync stuff between a phone or tablet, and a linux desktop. It should be installed by default on KDE desktops, and on GNOME, you can install the GSConnect extension. Don't forget to reboot your computer afterwards, it never worked right after install for me.

On iOS, you can share the contents of the clipboard, send photos or videos, send regular files, use the device as a slideshow remote, run commands, or use it as a virtual touchpad. You can also send files to your iDevice, and they'll show up in the Files app, in local files, in the KDE Connect folder.
