Hahaha, you’re welcome!

Weird, very weird. Not demure, not mindful.

It really ties the room together!

Relevant to your interests: As a straight, male mountain biker, I swear like three quarters of the cute women I meet and get interested in are lesbians. (And the other 25% are out biking with their husband, boyfriend, etc.)

Last post that I can find by her is on Mastodon, promoting a new electronics book she helped co-author, I think?

But yeah, she has been super quiet since they “clipped her wings”. But she said she would be too. Censorship sucks and I can’t believe we let an entire country get away with it and still did business with them the whole time.

Click-bait titling at its best. Apparently their attempt at controversy boils down to this:

In a short snippet aired Thursday afternoon, however, Harris was shown answering questions about her changing stance on certain policy issues, including immigration and fracking. Harris said that her values haven’t shifted over the years, but sometimes her policy beliefs have shifted as she’s gotten more perspective on issues.

• They attended a ceremony in a part of the cemetery off-limits to photography and political events, due to some sort of dealings instigated by House Speaker Mike Johnson.
• Trump was told he could only attend in a personal capacity and that no hangers-on would be allowed in.
• When an official tried to enforce these limitations on his visit, a large staffer physically pushed her aside, claiming that photography was allowed, so he and at least one or two staffers were there instead of just Trump himself.
• Trump has (of course) posted this crap all over his social media, using it for political purposes, in spite of the conditions under which his visit was supposed to take place. (Honoring a fallen soldier in a civilian capacity.)
• And after it is all over and starting to blow up in his face, his response is unsurprisingly to lie about it all, despite photographic evidence (of the politics and extra staffers) and eye witness confirmation of the physical aspect (by Army personnel) that it happened.

Pretty much we are a corporate welfare state at this point. Electing officials you think will pass or enforce laws to bring them to heel is your best bet. (People like AOC are preferred, as she has never accepted contributions from corporations to her campaign.)

As an example of this, I believe SexyCyborg got in trouble for reporting on leaks via people’s 3rd party Chinese language keyboards. So her theory is that the keyboard apps people had installed leaked data when Hong Kong protesters were communicating with the press, rather than the actual Signal app. But… as stated above, people have to take responsibility for their device and in this case, they had chosen to install apps with leak issues into the communication process.

How are you using the internet without uBlock Origin? o_O

(I also recommend Google Sign-in Popup Blocker on Firefox. And as others have mentioned, Reader mode is nice.)

Given that they won’t even track the car for theft purposes past that, I am fairly certain they are.

I suppose you could always just try and find the SIM card and remove it too…

No but Toyota has a privacy website where you can opt out of all data collection for the vehicle. They warn you that you lose the ability to track the vehicle if it is stolen too, which sucks, but they won’t let you keep that and opt out of everything else so I just opted out of the entire package.

Yeah, that’s kind of why I got the RAV4 Prime in the end although I would love to replace it with a full EV eventually. I have fairly specific requirements because my folks live in the mountain about 300 miles away round trip and I need to be able to day trip it in an emergency (and 400 miles range ≠ 400 miles freeway range).

Toyota does at least offer you the ability to completely disable data collection. Once their remote start/charge/climate control etc for free ran out, I disabled data collection and deleted the app off my phone.

Mostly I want a 400 mile range EV under $50k. Had to settle for a PHEV RAV4 Prime for the moment.

MacOS but it was better about 10.6 or so than now…

Cool trailer and all, but they seem to have copied the interiors, the exteriors and even the back story directly from Dredd? o_O

Man the one on the right just hunkers down in the middle of the trail, no roosting! And they taste dusty when they fly up and hit you in the face while you’re mountain biking at night.

Or… trying to tell women what to do with their bodies is weird, like the rest of the Christofascist Project 2025 platform JD is running on.

Some meme stuff, hexbear and lemmygrad basically.
