House Ethics Committee Republicans temporarily blocked releasing findings from a probe into allegations of sexual misconduct and other accusations…Gaetz denies the allegations, including claims he had sex with a 17-year-old.

What’s the big deal? Was he found innocent, like he says he is? Cool, release it. Something something if he has nothing to hide.

Or was he found guilty? Cool, release it.

Same website (granted, different author, but), same inflammatory language, same vendor, referencing previous erroneous article…I’m not even gonna read this one. Just going to copy/paste my previous response from the previous post:

At a certain point it’s the consumer’s (and blog writer’s) fault, and that’s after EoL. Not patching a supported one and just getting rid of support, saying buy a newer one? Yeah, that’s bad.

Continuing to not support an EoL model that you already don’t support due to EoL (or even dropping support for an EoL model that no one expected you to support in the first place due to EoL)? Non-issue.

Doesn’t he have a rather large role in the party of small government?

the federal government has long had hesitance to hold figures like presidents, senators, and supreme court justices to account, and this is just an extension of that.

Because if they start holding others in similar offices to account, they might have to hold themselves as well, and that ain’t happening.

develop our factory base and our sourcing capability in alternative countries, like Cambodia, Vietnam, Mexico, Brazil, etc."

From the same article:

Trump has proposed a 60% tax on imports from China, plus a universal tariff of 10%-20% on imports from all foreign countries.

So those goods still get a tariff, probably raising prices for the American consumer, just not as steep as from China. I thought the primary goal of the tariff was to move production back to America (which is a whole thing and not as simple as flipping a switch), which this does not do…and it wasn’t necessarily to try to limit China’s economy,which it probably doesn’t even put a dent in.

The Democrats did not fail us. WE DID. We failed.

Can the people, by definition, fail? What happened to the “will of the people” and democracy that Americans go on about?

If this is what won, this is obviously what the American people wanted/chose.

You actively sought loss…you didnt listen and lost…

I’m genuinely confused. What are you saying? The American voter currently only has two options: vote Democrat or vote Republican. Anything else, as it stands in present day America, throws the vote away.

I think you’re saying voting Democrat is “actively seeking loss,” yet the only other option is to…vote Republican, which they wanted even less?

Help me out here, as your logic ain’t logicing.

The 2/3rds of American adults that are disenfranchised without representation are the victims.

The real victims (with a say/vote) are the Americans who voted for Harris. The people who voted for Trump and those who abstained from voting actively and passively chose what’s coming.

The first, and foremost failure, is the Republican party.

They are not a failure. They are exactly what they want to be, they are exactly who they said they are, and they won the election. Sounds like the GOP is doing alright to me, from a GOP perspective.

And if you can’t because they’ve been moved or “mysteriously misplaced,” charge him for grand larceny and arrest him (IANAL so there is probably a better legal term for this).

I don’t think that “sure, I stole from them, but I “lost” what I stole so we cool now,” is a valid legal defense. But I’m not a disbarred lawyer, so I could be wrong.

Is there any chance that shit was rigged this time around?

There’s always a chance of almost anything, but it is very slim (conspiracy theory) with no evidence to support it:

“Importantly, we have no evidence of any malicious activity that had a material impact on the security or integrity of our election infrastructure,” per the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Jen Easterly.

Harris was popular when she first announced.

I don’t think she was popular when first announced, rather the fact that not-Biden was popular.

Reuters has a different story…

And hopefully does something about. Disciplinary for the poor OPSEC and/or better resources to avoid it and/or better laws to stop this unfettered data collection and/or better training to avoid it in the future. Here’s hoping. Holds breath

the fact that Biden is drawing attention to it

Now, if only there was someone in charge of the federal government, preferably with immunity when acting on official duties, who could safeguard America’s interest by removing someone’s access to defense contracts and deporting the same someone who started off their defense career illegally. Oh well.

I’m sometimes super slow at the start of self checkout. If the bags are stuck together, not open, and if I didn’t bring my own, sometimes it takes me 2 minutes just to open a plastic bag. I’m trying my hardest!

or randos on the internet then?

I mean isn’t that practically everyone on the Internet that you don’t know personally? Or do you actually know the Firefox and/or Librewolf team, and audit their code as well?

If no to both…sounds like you are putting some measure of trust into “randos on the Internet.” Which is not abnormal. Trust is required at some point in most processes.

My thing against Firefox/Librewolf is lack of security…unless it’s improved?

Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they’re currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface. Gecko doesn’t have a WebView implementation (GeckoView is not a WebView implementation), so it has to be used alongside the Chromium-based WebView rather than instead of Chromium, which means having the remote attack surface of two separate browser engines instead of only one. Firefox / Gecko also bypass or cripple a fair bit of the upstream and GrapheneOS hardening work for apps. Worst of all, Firefox does not have internal sandboxing on Android. This is despite the fact that Chromium semantic sandbox layer on Android is implemented via the OS isolatedProcess feature, which is a very easy to use boolean property for app service processes to provide strong isolation with only the ability to communicate with the app running them via the standard service API. Even in the desktop version, Firefox’s sandbox is still substantially weaker (especially on Linux) and lacks full support for isolating sites from each other rather than only containing content as a whole. The sandbox has been gradually improving on the desktop but it isn’t happening for their Android browser yet.

That’s harder to steal/hack by someone across the globe.

The Human Cannonball? He got launched out of the cannon and did one flip before getting caught by the net.

That’s what it looks like to the untrained eye. But they’re not really going to fire a person out of a cannon. That’s not safe. So he just huddles in the cannon, they light a decoy fuse, it makes a bang (with no projectile), and he spring out and jumps that distance by himself. Requires a lot of core and leg strength.
