A lot of people are compelled to hurt others, it doesn’t have to be only about money.

And the ways this happens is not always physically violent. Many are compulsed to scam or betray in subtle ways.

Website owners are no different than any other group of people, and they often skew to compulsive dishonesty.

Why? Because often to get a site up and running with real traffic, dirty and dishonest tricks are used. Unless a site is truly different or outstanding , there is quite a story about how it got popular. Often involving both money and questionable ethics.

Having seen the internal workings of a few of these random services, not very safe at all.

It’s not just shoddy work, or a lax security policy. There is real money to be made by being unethical, and there is nothing to stop many website owners from just selling the data. It’s not like there are consequences to selling it.

I have a feeling this happens a lot

That is not true, I had a thought last week

I am not a democrat; but I feel like they did not communicate well with their base. And their messages are blocked by a lot of the mainstream press. This double hurdle means they are essentially voiceless to many.

So most people are confused about it all. I have read on lemmy why. People will have their health care stopped if the democrats cave on this.

I thoroughly expect them to give up once they milk the donations for all it’s worth

One of the victims was killed by the police, another wounded by them.

In my area of rural east Texas a lot of the people who participate in 911 responses are volunteers from all walks of life.

For example the call can be passed to the volunteer fire department who will stay on the phone. It’s not inconceivable some are in lemmy

The anti Trump forces saw their power, revelled in it, and called it a day. It will not be applied to other companies.

It’s like the nationwide protests

use the term accurately

We have a lack of words used in the English language that specifies graduations and grades of arseholes.

Just like some languages have one word for snow, and others have dozens

Edit: I noticed several people disagreed. But did not explain: is it because they think there are enough words, or they like the word fascist and think it’s appropriate in current usages?

Notepadqq has given me crashes and issues for years, and I once lost data. I use gedit for notes and fancy code editors for everything else

I like tool rewrites. But fixing major issues just before it is used in so many systems? It’s irresponsible.

It should of been given more time to mature. And Ubuntu is used so much, even the odd versions of it, that if one thing goes wrong later; this will cause a lot of bad press for both Rust and Ubuntu.

It should make the rust community very nervous. So many companies use the Ubuntu:latest tag in so many projects. And millions of people will hear, after being subject to the breakages, that it was all about Rust. Even though it’s not about Rust, just bad management

Yes.

That answer is only for my own country America, I do not have strong opinions for other areas and countries.

And I realize the term is broad, and gives connotations I do not intend.

A socialist movement that is backed by force, and not using democratic methods, would save far more lives than it would destroy.

Americans do not understand democracy because they do not understand, at a fundamental level, that ballot counts need to be witnessed and recounts always allowed.

They cannot be taught that. This removes reform by democracy.

But when reform is imposed on by force there are many who would disagree . So the revolution would need to defend itself. That means time and time again, this would happen repeatedly. And the cost would be horrible.

Of course my preferred solution would raise new problems, and a rise of a new elite would have to countered, and history shows that is hard. But I think because tens of millions of Americans will die if this revolution not happen, then it’s worth it

I have read elsewhere that this is likely an older service, used for a long time, which was used in domestic crime. It was tracked down by the secret service because it was providing help in forgery of fake currency.

It makes sense why the secret service, which deals in counterfeiting, was involved.

But it was spun by the White House for other reasons

Don’t listen to their parents about advice

The thing is, it may be a horrible idea to risk so much for something you so strongly want to do.

Most people don’t.

But if you don’t, you will regret it forever. This is the fate of most people

I’m pretty sure my subconscious meant to type it, for unknown reasons. And I’m not going to change it. Maybe I want the internet to go out with style

I was thinking something else, like

The Boys Showrunner, Eric Kripke, says the superhero ultimately exists to protect the status quo, to keep things as they are or once were during more nostalgic times, while the supervillain seeks change. A superhero is pro-establishment, working to uphold the system, and viewers can be trained to believe some exceptional being will fix everything.

The earlier superhero movies made in the USA helped support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and there were strategies and meetings to deliberately do just that.

I think the later Marvel movies drifted away from typecasting the villains and made the plots less American centric. But it did not loose the parallels to the popular movies in Germany made in the late 30’s.

Solar flairs are the sword of Damocles hanging over all the internet. It’s only a matter of when the next https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrington_Event

It may be a few decades away, or next week. But everyone will get a notice of two days that all online data and communications will be destroyed , or not available at all, for at least a year

Spam through PRs (and presumably also Issues)?

Why stop at dating? I just realized other possibilities, like “we have trying to reach you about your car insurance”

I have been thinking the superhero movies were having many fascist themes themselves. And their popularity was helped by a growing authoritarian movement in the USA.

The actual comics do not have many of the above issues, the movies reinforced certain themes.

I say this as someone who liked the comic books for many decades
