Musk has perfected the self selection of morons, I'm sure they'll have plenty of test subjects to toy with

Little descriptor your browser has to tell websites what it is and where it comes from

Worked as a computer tech in college

We had regular clients that would bring in their ten year old laptops to get "tuned up," which normally consisted of removing whatever interesting malware they'd manage to download

One guy would bring his computer and his lockscreen slideshow and desktop would be a rotation of naked women surfing. I never looked through people's stuff because ick, but after bringing it in multiple times you'd have seen hundreds of them

Another woman had an ancient laptop that'd probably shipped with Windows Vista that was 1 core 1 thread. It was desperately trying to run Windows 10 but was drowning constantly. You could watch the startup processes in task manager in series which was pretty cool

Had a woman deliberately hand me her phone open to her photos with like dozens of nudes while she just talked to me normally about whatever banal up issue she was having with her iPhone. Thinking about it I don't think this was an isolated event

Stuff on the devices is typically less weird than the people

Depends on where you live. In my experience, yes

I grew up in a very conservative area. The people in my demographic only want to see change. The right wing government under Trump has been robbing the future blind with zero regard for anyone, but the sentiment I keep hearing is a perception that something is happening. "He's deporting the criminals," "he's saving our jobs," "he's making other countries pay us," "he's making America safe," ergo the idea that progression in any direction is progress. People are stupid and short sighted when they are struggling. So the adoption of populism makes a lot of sense to me

Another anecdote, there was a guy I used to work with that would say "we have to go all the way right to come back to center" and they actually believe that would happen lol

Anyway I hate this shit so much, have a good day

Her dad strangled her in her sleep. It wasn't a heat of the moment decision

Afaik the python is ran on Microsoft servers, so not exactly a perfect solution. I doubt it will run offline at all

That guy is fucking dumb

Someday I'll find my cute tall trans girl and we'll love each other and commit horrible crimes together 💚💚💚

Must be a hard life being so staunchly anti-phallus

PSA that the rectangular plot in Plants vs Zombie does not accurately reflect the climate of the Oklahoma panhandle

Looked up this story in the local paper for a bit more context

Responding officers found Towery in his home dead from multiple stab wounds. Part of a lamp was stuck in his throat.

Unsure how this happens in a self defense situation. Imo if you were threatened and under duress you're gonna do what you have to do, but he was 80 years old

Fearing for her life and fueled by crack cocaine, she overcame Towery and stabbed him repeatedly -- 58 times according to an autopsy report. The evidence showed Holberg also beat Towery with a claw hammer multiple times. “I lost it," Holberg told jurors.

The reasoning behind the Trump-appointed judge's dissent:

"No jury in its right mind would believe that a 23-year-old cocaine-addled prostitute 'defended' herself against a frail old man by (1) stabbing him 58 times, (2) bludgeoning him with various objects including a steam iron, and (3) ramming a lamp base down his throat while he was still alive," Duncan wrote.

In the surface that's pretty reasonable, but the issue is the planted informant being encouraged to further incriminate the defendant:

However, the majority of the judges believed prosecutors heavily relied on Kirkpatrick's testimony -- particularly her description of how Holberg enjoyed killing Towery -- to secure the conviction and during the punishment phase of the trial when they asked for the death sentence.

Don't loan people money, problem solved

As a disclaimer, I'm someone relatively new to usenet

Usenet has provided a much more consistent option for media quality for my server. Most titles in the last 20-25 years have around ten distributions ranging from 720p to 4k. The biggest difference are downloads. It's no contest: better bandwidth with much much more consistent speeds. You won't stumble on something with one seeder on a 300kbps connection. There's no requirement to seed content back, although I recognize that if you're using private torrent trackers this is likely the case for you already

Overall I enjoy how much better usenet is to gather media from when it comes to the amount of time from request -> server availability

However, the former IT manager, Jonathan Katz, abused his managerial position and highly privileged account at a mobile telecommunications store to overcome security measures and perform unauthorized number ports.

As someone who worked in mobile phone sales: there are tons of people making 30k/yr that have the same "highly privileged account" this guy did. He seems to be on the IT side which would make it easier to track. Retail employees do this all the time and usually for less money. People come in with a fake ID and someone's social and they walk out with a new phone activated with their phone number. An example is being made out of him, but I guarantee this issue is more systemic

If someone is willing to potentially trade their employment for $5k, the pay is probably low and the turnover is high. Aiding in identity theft is wrong, but five years in prison seems overkill

A couple of weeks ago I made a post in programmerhumor on an alt that one of my friends posted in my sms groupchat
