i refuse to give my phone my thumbprint or do a face unlock. i’m not sure if it’s still collecting a biometric bullshit on my face, but i have not done it myself.

Then get a Yubikey. Replace “something you are” with “something you have”. It’s not ideal to have two somethings you have as your two factors, but a password to get into the computer to get to the passkey adds an extra layer that makes me comfortable with it.

I’m a luddite here and i insist on it so no one (especially no one trying to violate the united states 4th amendment) can get into my phone without my permission or hacking into it.

In the context of this discussion, it’s one of two factors. But I agree with you when it’s the only factor.

My cat Captain Crunch just purrs at 2600hz.

Most local news outlets aren’t local.

For an Atlanta example, 11Alive is owned by Tegna, which owns over 50 stations, and is being acquired by Nexstar, after which they’ll have hundreds.

It’s like the ultra-thin TVs that are only meaningfully thin if you bust a hole in your wall for the business end to recess into.

You should try The Fox and the Hound. It’s uplifting.

I’ll play Nazi’s Advocate:

Calling it the department of defense, it’s easier for us to justify the “conflicts” we “end up in”. By removing the new-speak and calling it the Department of War, it’ll be easier to see our actions for what they are: waging war. Since that’s less palatable, it’ll erode public support for war. Nobel Peace Prize, please!

(Which of course is in conflict with his other words and actions, but who cares, apparently)

Self-hosting is an option if you’re tech-savvy enough

Can you really count “Fixes” as headlinese?

Maybe all the text is in

They’re all abbr to me.

I’d be worried about the “lowering to the ground” part, and avoiding the lines from the pole to the house.

I know Hixon as “that Aubrey’s location that some of the employees from my local Aubrey’s location moved to.”

Yup, then martial law and suspended elections. It’s almost like their plans are publicly available.

🦋 is this… Turtle Power?

Sure there are actually-innocent people being detained by ICE in every city every day, but have you considered that this one is a pretty white woman?

Damn, only $3.50 at my local bar. $5 or so for a nicer one. And if I’m feeling cheap, Applebees has $5 LITs.

You sound like Humpty Dumpty

I inferred from context that you meant that because they don’t have jurisdiction, they can’t arrest people. If that inference was wrong, so be it, but it was a reasonable one.

I know that’s not how jurisdiction legally works on paper, but in practice, if ICE can come in and kidnap people off the street at gunpoint and the law enforcement with legal jurisdiction is unwilling to use lethal force to protect their citizens, ICE effectively has jurisdiction. I’d similarly say cartels have effective jurisdiction in parts of Mexico.

If the local police or state national guard won’t shoot them, they have jurisdiction.
