Watching a TV show or a movie that you saw a commercial for isn't going to bankrupt you and cause you to lose your house.

Thanks for giving me an article of something I know about and think is terrible. That unfortunately wasn't the comparison and if it was I wouldn't have made my comment. The comparison was with removing citizenship.

Quite a few. If that was the comparison I wouldn't have mentioned anything because it would be a similar thing. Comparing murder with removing citizenship is not the same thing. Israel murdering journalists is, but not related to the conversation.

Are you saying your own comment is funniest your read all day? If not then I am quite confused because I never made light of anything and made it clear that it was the wrong thing to do. I just think comparing murder and removing citizenship is not a great comparison.

If anybody made light of anything it was the person I was responding to.

Israel has murdered journalists in Gaza. That would be the better comparison to Iran's actions. I don't think Israel removing citizenship has an equal comparison with anything Iran has done.

I'm not defending Israel as the minister is clearly wrong here, but surely silencing critics by killing them (what Iran is accused of) is quite a bit more severe than removing citizenship?

New reddit was getting login popups for a while as well. From my rudimentary checks it varied from subreddit to subreddit.

It just feels like every social media site is login-walling public posts. I can't think of a major social media site (reddit, Instagram, FB, Twitter, etc) that doesn't do this to varying degrees. I can only think of minor sites (bluesky, truth social, etc) that allow access.

It feels like an end of an era.

I don't know enough about how RCS works, but if I have an existing conversation in Google Messages would I be able to migrate it over to when this gets implemented?

Humans fail to stop at stop signs all the time. Their failure to stop kill people as well.

Daniel Micay stepped down as the lead dev and was where most of the lack of social skills was coming from.

Switching multiple things at once is more likely to fail than just one thing. Once people get used to alternative software and any kinks get worked out, switching the OS should be possible

I mean a few years after WW2 the US stopped the communists from taking over South Korea. Maybe that isn't good for the "world" but it was good for the millions of South Koreas.

Not who you were responding to, but here are a few. The problem is he calls them absentee voting / ballots not mail in ballots which makes it confusing when looking it up.

> Absentee voting is great. You request – I'm an absentee voter because I requested, I got, and then I sent in my vote. So that works out very well. That's what we've had. But now they want to send in millions and millions of ballots.

> Absentee Ballots are fine because you have to go through a precise process to get your voting privilege. Not so with Mail-Ins.

> Absentee Ballots are fine. A person has to go through a process to get and use them. Mail-In Voting, on the other hand, will lead to the most corrupt Election is USA history. Bad things happen with Mail-Ins.

> Absentee good, universal mail-in very bad

Interesting how you are so dubious about Iran and Hamas numbers but accept the 52,000 number without question. Trump originally said 32,000, then 42,000, then 60,000, then 52,000 and now today it is 100,000.

The article is talking about bases in the US not the Middle East.

Doesn't every company and person consider their case special?

Well filling up your ICE car doesn't impact the energy grid (the electric use of the pumps is minimal). Charging your EV does.

Cease and desist

On 24 August 2026 cease and desist letters have been sent by X Corp. demanding a permanent takedown of Nitter instances and the project's repository.

nitter.net is offline and development has stopped for the time being. I'm seeking legal advice and won't be commenting further on the specifics for now.

Thank you to everyone who used, hosted, packaged, donated and contributed to Nitter over the past seven years.

I don't think you understand the situation in this case. The person very clearly knew his phone was believed to have evidence of a crime. He then destroyed the evidence on the phone. This is one of the most clear cases of destruction of evidence there is. The only hope he has is to use the fact that he was denied his lawyer.

Now to show you are moving the goal posts, go back to one of your previous posts and read "Had a crime been charged when the search was undertaken?" and another one "how are you supposed to know when your own property is evidence and when it's not, when you've committed no crime?"

You clearly were trying to make a claim that a crime needs to be charged to be destruction of evidence.

You are guilty of committing a crime regardless if you are found guilty. If I murder somebody and I am not found guilty in a court would you say I am not guilty of committing the crime of murder?

I'm not going to address anything else since it is a complete waste of time discussing this with you.

First, you are moving the goal posts. You were first talking about a person committing a crime and now you are talking about being aware of a crime.

Second, you only have to be aware that the police consider your phone to be evidence of a crime, which he was aware of, not have knowledge about the crime itself.

I don't think you understand the situation.

The feds told him they suspected evidence to be on the phone. He can't plead ignorance. He knew they thought there was evidence of a crime and gave them the duress code.

If a person did not know the phone had potential evidence then he wouldn't have intended or knowingly destroyed evidence and as such wouldn't be guilty of the crime...

If you read the law you would know you have no clue what you are talking about.

Georgia law requires "intent" and federal law requires "knowingly" doing it. Being charged with a crime is completely irrelevant. You probably should take 2 minutes and read the law since it would have completely answered your question.

I would also say that in this case it is quite clear he intended and knowingly did this so he could be charged under either law. They were asking him for his phone in connection to an alleged crime and he provided the password which erases the phone.

That is not how any of this works. Destruction of evidence is a crime regardless if you have been charged with a crime. This is the case under both federal and Georgia law.

What country does not have a law against destruction of evidence? It seems like arresting a person for a law that most countries have is following the rule of law.

And a better question is how do you find a page without searching since they are exempting search engines from ad blocking.

> Firefox does not block:

> Ads shown on search engine results pages, including Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and other search providers

> Sponsored content on the Firefox Home or New Tab page

So block ads unless it impacts their revenue sources.

This wouldn't solve anything. The person doing the coercion would be able to store the hash and double check after the election if the vote was still the way they wanted.

uBlock Origin Lite works decently on Chrome so I doubt this will help migration to Firefox.

Safari doesn't run on Windows or Linux. WebKit does run outside of Apple's environment but no major browser uses it which means you are left Firefox, a Blink based browser or a WebKit browser that 5 people use.

Are you saying you would get the image, detect the ad in the image, then regenerate the HTML without the ad based on where it was located in the image?

How would you comment or watch a video if you did that?
