You’re telling me that open bigots are bring bigoted?!

From The Independent:

While Mr Polanski had wanted the controversial motion to be amended, he has pushed back against claims that it was antisemitic.

Earlier this week he posted on social media: “As a British Jew, I’m deeply concerned about the cynical blurring of Zionism & Judaism. Whatever our political differences, Jewish people must never face prejudice or discrimination. So after the Labour government apologised over Gaza: why are they still arming Israel?”

I agree with him on this one, personally.

I like how one of their screenshots has another screenshot in it

Big Cheese doesn’t want you to know this, but there’s a trick where you can still eat some cheeses while lactose intolerant, even without pills.

Some cheeses have very low lactose, even though they don’t advertise it. My brother is lactose intolerant but eats plenty of Emmental and he’s fine.

The trick is to look at the sugar content when you buy cheese. If it’s zero or close to it then you are much more likely to be fine after eating it. That’s because lactose is a sugar!

Of course, not every country or every place selling cheese marks it this way, but it’s a neat trick when you can use it.

What software / OS would I run on this device to get a seamless fullscreen experience (like consoles / sticks / SteamOS)?

I have a server and all, but I’d need the right software to make the casting work and perhaps get a nice GUI + remote if I want to use actual apps.

I prefer to not rely on screen mirroring as it means I can’t check my phone without interrupting what I’m watching. Especially a problem when watching with someone else.

I don’t have any other Apple devices, and I really want to be able to cast from my apps to the device, so I can keep watching something I have started seamlessly.

Is that possible on the Apple TV?

Thanks for the reply.

Not exactly a windfall

Late last month, plaintiff Alek Schott of Houston was awarded $76, one dollar for each minute that he was detained. (Schott asked for this exact amount as symbolic compensation.)

“Money was never what mattered,” his lawyers said. “This was and has always been about the Constitution. IJ will now ask the court to enjoin Bexar County from using baseless traffic stops as a tool for warrantless searches, and will work to enforce the precedent across the state.”

Ah, fair.

Worth a read. The nonsense he went through is bizarre.

Very intense

My brother just informed me that those are lillies and they are very toxic to cats, watch out!

Thanks mate

Oh, is that the new socialist St Denis one?

Well, this seems to be the study.

Google’s AI is front and center and they were credited.

Alphabet, Google’s parent company, funded it.

As it happens, it wasn’t one person who proposed the motion. Separate people in my local Green Party constituency came to me many months ago (before the previous conference, where the motion was filibustered) trying to get it off the ground.

It’s not agents, terrorists or a small minority of people plotting. A decent chunk of people wanted this motion to pass.

I assume this is sarcasm. Calling North America (and some European) countries universally safe is pretty comical. Very few countries are safe to everyone.

If you really wanted to clear the backlog, the opposite approach would make more sense. Mark many countries as unsafe and let most people from there in. That’s not a great idea, an individualized approach makes more sense of course. Most regimes tend to target specific minorities rather than everyone (or they’d have no one to govern), so if you want to limit the amount of immigration (a big “if”) then you’d want to start there on your acceptance criteria to pass people easier, then consider case-by-case for less clear cases, like activists etc.

I’ve done data requests to Google to get all my YouTube and Google photos data in the past. Both took less than a few days, despite the latter covering over 100GB of data.

The former I did so I could get all my subscriptions into a third party client, the latter was so I could easily get all my photos with their metadata into an alternative hosting platform. These data request tools can be useful.

The “manage your information” section doesn’t exist where I’m at.

(Yes, I did a text search)

Instead, we have “request your data” which likely would give you complete files of all data they have on you. I’m not going to crawl through that right now.

The backlash must be because the debate was not respectful of trans people… right?

False or misleading statements by Donald Trump

So… almost everything he’s ever said?
