Do you live in a country where the government would put a gun to YouTube’s head and say 'YOU HAVE TO KEEP BROADCASTING THIS MAN’S CHANNEL, PUT ADS ON IT, AND SHARE THE AD REVENUE WITH HIM, WHETHER YOU WANT TO OR NOT, UNTIL AND UNLESS HE IS CONVICTED OF A CRIME"?
That seems weird.
Doesn’t he though? He’s gotten grumpy about helping the Ukranians with internet from time to time, and he’s declared that Russia should get to keep Crimea. I bet if the invasion of Ukraine happened today he’d have refused to help Ukraine with Starlink at all, he’s so far down the far-right rabbit hole.
Here’s an unbiased source.

People are indeed getting the hell out of certain blue states, NY, CA, and IL, probably cause they’re fucking expensive to live in - at least in the big cities where most of the population is.
And FL, TX, ID, SD, and MT are picking up population. ID, ST, and MT are tiny population wise so any change there is a blip, but people seem to really be moving into FL, SC, and TX, for whatever reason.
This data is a couple years old so it wouldn’t reflect recent legal and political changes.
Here’s the thing though. Changes in total population of a state on this list are all between -1% and +2%. That matters, but it’s not like whole towns are being depopulated or anything.
The brain drain issue – doctors fleeing red states – sounds like it’s considerably more dramatic than that, given that most TX counties have zero gynecologists and a significant fraction have zero doctors.
Cost of living’s too high?

I mean, if Trump won and abolished all elections and declared himself dictator for life, then West’s chances of being elected president as a third party candidate wouldn’t actually change one way or the other.
So maybe being a feckless third party candidate in an authoritarian neofascist dictatorship isn’t really that different from being a feckless third party candidate in a constitutional democracy.
Ah yes, it was all a false flag, instigated by the government to take away our freedoms, I get it
Reconsidering my choice to live inside a walled glass enclosure, only able to eat fish which are thrown in to me, constantly being watched by gawping spectators.
Ah yes, why are people so silly as to use Grub, the single most widely used bootloader in the Linux universe, we should blame that poor choice when they have problems with arch
Lol “Nobody cares about Snap vs Flatpak” says dude who cares about Wayland vs X
That next year that transition of power came under direct attack
I’m pretty sure Obama allowed power to be transferred peacefully to Trump, just like every other president had before him.
I mean we literally did that in the 1920s
Given that Tarrio wasn’t even in DC on Jan 6, convicting him at all was a big win.
Most of the far-right “government informants” were recruited to give the government any information they had on far-left groups they were in conflict with, which is why they didn’t inform anyone about their own plans
So the idea is that because FTX and Yuga Labs were all mixed up in each other’s business, and because FTX was secretly the buyer of the Bored Apes, then functionally this was a giant wash trade, one step removed. A sham auction whose purpose was to blow up the price of NFTs, and Sotheby is supposed to be culpable because they participated in the sham and lent it legitimacy with their reputation.
That seems like a pretty legit complaint.
I mean, I have no sympathy for the people who got fucked buying NFTs but I have even less sympathy for the people who did the fucking, so absolutely let this lawsuit happen and let them burn.
Fuck all NFT people right in the earhole, but I think it’s reasonable to nail Sotheby’s to the wall for their part in this charade.
this has nothing even remotely to do with patents, fam
but it is indeed bullshit.
the purpose of a “trademark” is to prevent the public from being deceived about what they’re purchasing, so you can’t sell “Big Macs” on your own because the public might be deceived into thinking they were purchasing a product from McDonalds, which (I assume) has trademarked the use of “Big Mac” for fast food.
I HIGHLY doubt the Linux Foundation owns the trademark for “Segmentation Fault” with respect to random merch, so… yeah 100% bullshit
(The image does also say “Linux IP” in addition to “Linux Trademark” and I wonder what the hell that is supposed to mean, since “IP” covers a multitude of dissimilar things, maybe it’s just a vague handwavy assertion they make in order to make a takedown without particularly justifying it?)
SEC smells fresh meat
Does anybody have any idea how to evaluate Israel’s claim that it wasn’t them, that it was a Palestinian rocket towards Israel which went wrong and hit the hospital?
Other than just assuming that whatever side you don’t like is lying?
I honestly don’t have a heuristic to evaluate that other than “the side I trust less must be lying about it”
And I’d like a better way to find out the truth than that
