Elon Musk doesn't show at Philadelphia hearing over super PAC's $1 million lottery for voters
More proof that billionaires are treated like a special class that the law can't touch. Cool.

Harris' team is considering keeping Biden Cabinet officials if she wins and Democrats lose the Senate
Whatever happens, I hope she keeps Lina Khan for FTC, that's the appointment I care the most about.

Texas Threatens Doctors After Judge Says Woman Can Get Emergency Abortion
What an unbelievable piece of shit. This dude is actually a demon and seriously hateful person. He shouldn't be screaming around at doctors and women for protecting their lives, he should be screaming into pads at a psych hospital.

Teen on Musk’s DOGE Team Graduated from ‘The Com’ – Krebs on Security
The founder of Path is a young man named Marshal Webb. I wrote about Webb back in 2016, in a story about a DDoS defense company he co-founded called BackConnect Security LLC. On September 20, 2016, KrebsOnSecurity published data showing that the company had a history of hijacking Internet address space that belonged to others.
Less than 24 hours after that story ran, KrebsOnSecurity.com was hit with the biggest DDoS attack the Internet had ever seen at the time. That sustained attack kept this site offline for nearly 4 days.
Fuckin' yikes. Some serious skeletons clearly visible for everyone to see if that's the echo to the call.
Edit: <Redacting this edit so as to not spread misinfo, a website I thought was down is, in fact, still up, just sans www. subdomain>
Double edit: spare a buck for Internet Archive if you can, y'all, we need this shit if we're going to hold civilization together.

'Easy money': Trump backer Elon Musk claims PAC will pay $47 for swing state voter information
That's so transparently the bare minimum separation needed to make sure they can't be sued for blatantly buying votes. Fucking heinous anti-American tactics.

Stress is relative
I mean, I don't think we should look to the past for mental stability. Alcoholism, violence, and spousal/domestic abuse are all examples of things that were way more common and borderline-accepted back then. I'd rather someone's reaction to stress be a panic attack rather than beating their children.

That's hilarious and somehow wholesome that everyone pitched in to get the separation

I know, it's a huge relief seeing this as someone who uses the free tier. I think I'll cough up for the advanced tier if they stick to their guns on this decision.

Christ, let me use my favorite app in peace instead of going "tsk tsk" and whinging about it when no one's stopping you from using other apps.

Luckily we here in America have much more encouraging and progressive viewpoints from people like our VP nominee Vance who said the purpose of "postmenopausal females" is to provide backup childcare.

I mean, I'm not about to leave Lemmy, this place scratches an itch that only old Reddit and Digg gave me. But competition for the steaming greedy shitpile that Reddit's become is welcome to me, better to keep them on their toes after their awful anti-user antics.

Philippine vice president publicly threatens to have the president assassinated
That title's such a misrepresentation of what was said. She threatened a deadman's assassination if she was assassinated first by Marcos, which could be a legitimate risk. She said nothing of the sort about that being on the table in any other scenario. In more easily-conveyed words, "If you kill me, your days are numbered."
Also, to get ahead of it: ESH

most Linux systems don't even use DHCP
WTF are you smoking? WTF is wrong with you that you think such a dumb claim would go unscrutinized? I would play Russian roulette on the chances of a random Linux installation on a random network talking DHCP.
Edit, in case being charitable helps: DNS and IP address allocation aren't the only things that happen over DHCP. And even then the odds are overwhelming that those are being broadcast that way.

That if they vote third party before we can get rid of the first-past-the-post system, they are helping their ideological opposite. And a corollary: if they do it because of the genocide in Gaza and Trump encourages a total wipeout of the Palestinian state like he's telegraphing, the blame for the deaths of those innocent civilians is on them for being self-righteous instead of honest.

Trump sues Des Moines Register for "election interference" over Iowa poll
We have acknowledged that the Selzer/Des Moines Register pre-election poll did not reflect the ultimate margin of President Trump's Election Day victory in Iowa by releasing the poll's full demographics, crosstabs, weighted and unweighted data, as well as a technical explanation from pollster Ann Selzer. We stand by our reporting on the matter and believe a lawsuit would be without merit.
They better stand by this. It only takes another news org or two to cave without pushing back with pressure before they can effectively silence anyone by threat alone.

Noppeee. Very happy I switched to Linux. Despite how annoying all the hounding about it was, it's galaxies better than the shitshow Windows 11 is becoming.

Oh god, I feel this in my soul. I feel so fortunate that most people only see the running average of my work output and not a live feed of what I'm actually spending my time doing.
