It’s OK though, they offered their top moderators an offer to participate in the IPO and also sent them goodies and snacks, what more do you want ?

With the state of Javascript being what it is, you probably can chain syllables randomly and have a fair chance of the resulting word being the name of a temporarily-existing framework

I have found it, the CIA offshoot with the most on-the-nose name ever: the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance

Their wikipedia page is amazing, it looks like it’s been written by the PR department of the org and of course it starts right off the bat by mentioning Tiananmen Square. The reason it looks like that of course is because the original author of the page is the PR dept of the org itself, specifically a wikipedia user named “InternationalIDEA”.

Also given it’s endured in that state since 2006 I’m genuinely suspecting checking out all wikipedia users that have edited or reverted edits on that article, and then collating the other articles they edited, would give an interesting - partial - overview of possible CIA edits on the website itself. It’d likely be noisy as fuck with tons of false positives though.

Tucker was and is in the trade of packaging Russian propaganda as news

And much of the US “journalists” are in the business of packaging US propaganda as news. There is just as much propaganda - if not more - in general US news. Since the US likes to portray itself as hosting a free press, one would assume (if one were pretty naive, admittedly) it would be glad to have reporting on the Russian government’s positions and communiqués.

lmao this is a CIA outlet:

The organization is chaired and run primarily by former senior United States intelligence and State Department officials. Laura Thornton, formerly of International IDEA, joined ASD as its new director in May 2021. Laura Rosenberger, chair of the American Institute in Taiwan and former senior director for China on the Biden administration’s National Security Council, previously served as a director of ASD. ASD is housed at the German Marshall Fund of the United States and its work spans across both the United States and Europe

Even the fucking Washington Post (of all newpapers !) admits they’re not exactly a source to be trusted.

Si, je pense qu’ils vendent les kindle (tous les kindle) à perte; et c’est en tous cas certainement vrai pour les kindle supportés par la pub.

Perso j’achete la liseuse amazon, la version avec pubs; puis je la jailbreak pour installer KOReader et virer toute référence à Amazon, dont les pubs.

Tu as le support de l’epub, un lecteur super, et tu fais perdre de l’argent à Amazon.

The condescending stare / ignoring you occurs about half the time even when you pspsps your own cat and you’re at home, nevermind a cat that doesn’t know you outside

“used to be” my ass

I did, years ago, it worked perfectly. This was when DX9 was an option for it though, but given since then dxvk / etc. came out the DX11 renderer should not be an issue. In fact I’d be surprised if the game didn’t run as-is without any tweaks.

I suggest using the gog version. appdb suggests installing vcrun2010 might be needed but again, test beforehand.

These days the GNU rm specifically warns you and asks you to confirm before proceeding

One of the multiple lemmy newcomers that defederated from us; in their admins’ words, because we apparently “deny certain genocides”.

@suspended@lemmy.ml what “genocides” would those be exactly ?

How the fuck can a soldier see three unarmed people and feel threatened?

They didn’t feel threatened, they assume every living person is the enemy and simply fire as soon as they see movement (including, sometimes, on their own). See: this is how we fought in Gaza (CW: horror).

What’s the browser you’re using ? and also please do:

glxinfo|egrep -i "^direct"

You’re looking for a line that says “direct rendering”; specifically whether or not it says “yes”. This will help pinpoint if you’re actually using your GPU or some onboard chipset instead.

With that being said, even assuming you use the latter, stuttering video playback in the browser is weird; if using firefox, out of curiosity: try to disable or enable hardware rendering (options > advanced > general), and try again. Switch it back to what it was when your test is done.

BIOS booting stays winning

Him and Guaidó could do an itinerant stand-up show in a few years

Make them an opener to those Shen Yun freaks or something

News about Israel often belongs in both

Many such cases

Both the prolewiki cert and the lemmygrad one are Let’s Encrypt, not Cloudflare.

Kraken, also by Mièville, is also somewhat of a match; as well as Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.

Thank you !

Hilarant, merci !

I stand corrected, that does look close to noscript’s feature, thanks !

Though I don’t know if it has a “whitelist mode” (all JS disabled by default everywhere but content still fetched) like the default noscript has.
