Even if you have more than one?

The website passes my first pass sniff tests as legit Dems.
I'm just binning all the spam, not complaining except verbally lol, as were in a war and I'm making no judgements now.

Whenever there are multiple plausible explanations, I prefer to choose the most complex one. Works for me.

I'm not opposed to nuke tech per se; I'm opposed to industry running it. THey are clearly not trustworthy.

I know can't remember name. I'll find another retail for it.
Sad though and Larry made a bit from me.

Yeah that was surprising to me too. Grounding seems inappropriate but wtf do I know.

Check out Digikam. Open source too. Done grained controls, it does a lot in a succinct way.
Good documentation. Great stuff.

June's wrinkly belly. She's probably 15 to 17. Chinese crested.
Not a good overall photo, though the circumstance was hilarious, June snapping at Devo (no sharing attention!), Devo whacking her head (gently) with a paw, just withdrawn here.

Lol I was pretty skeptical borderline cynical by 1995. 10 years of FidoNet -- not that it was any worse than the innernetz say late 2010s -- quite readily showed what people can do.
Deluding folx with fake webcams was then "dishonest" for the Internet. Too many people take their shit far too seriously!

Ha! Yeah she was great on trump, but I guess that's a low standard.
We have been subbed to WaPo for a while, it's just for worse and worse, then a stepwise change in 2024.
Yes, her Israel stance is awful.

2024-08-15 16:18:33

Here's a nice (to me) measure of perspective...
Since the Before Times Jennifer Rubin has been a voice of clarity at stodgy WaPo, an ex Republican who mostly speaks truth ...
But I dropped WaPo after its sharp fascist turn. Browsed today, read this below -- it's fine, gifted link I hope --
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/08/15/harris-walz-trump-progressive-policies-agenda/
Not even once did she mention black people anything. Oh, but much about policing and law enforcement... Oh hon, your roots are showing.
Even when you know how it works, it still works.
Harris/Walz are pretty great. But as French leftists are reported to have said, about their recent election, "we'll argue later". I'm the short term, let's get this shit done.

They can go either way, I was curious about orientation... But I should have guessed it was horizontal. Yours is pointed at Europe? And its opposite... I don't have a globe handy!
I'm a lapsed ham. I still miss radio but don't want to talk to old white guys more than I do now, lol, and I didn't have another angle on it.

Interesting and excellent, California is making similar changes. It's pretty great. But CA has a lot of sunlight, it's very heartening that the UK can do this.
But is total power generated in TWH actually dropping?

Ugh, here was a weird tank of a computer, a Gridcase 1535 EXP, with plasma display (that did not look all that much better than this awful photo). It was unpleasant to use. No idea what I did with it, probably gave it away.
It ran DOS. I think was used in some network field maint.

I worry too what Quiets "continuous liveness" requirement implies. Briar has no such issue. (Item 6 in "technical overview" on the tryquiet git page).
I suspect this is relying a persistent TOR connection to do their connectivity. That seems a bad idea.

Welp, apparently I uninstalled Quiet. I used "disable app" thinking I'd just stop it from using data until I got a chance to look at it.
Check out Briar Project. https://briarproject.org/
It works, nicely. Uses TOR also but can do direct phone to phone.
With one friend used it while I was in LA and he driving to the eclipse in TX. Worked great with signal, no signal, mobile and WiFi.

@npub1xse…lgk3
I signed up to Quiet, and see your post and a few others in # general but I'm unable to reply. Is it working for you?
I tried to read # offtopic, and got s thermometer saying "loading messages" but it never changes.
I can try rebooting phone or restarting app but it looks s bit rough.

Apolitical programmers (and all workers) are right wing workers by default because money is right wing.
