oh interesting, looks like they do work now! I don’t use kemono that regularly but recall being unable to access some embedded media last time I tried. Currently both audio and video seem to work though.

Also I’m shocked that vimeo trick works lol. fantastic stuff

there’s also https://kemono.su/ (fair warning, lots of vaguely horni anime art) which archives tons of patreons/other similar services. doesn’t seem to work with patreon-hosted videos or podcasts if I recall correctly, but definitely works with other posts/images

because having to pay RIAA, etc, 700 million dollars in damages would probably outright kill the internet archive and therefore the wayback machine. They are rallying people around the most popular core of their services.

probably remove the “recruited_by_id=xxxx” from the link, it’s a tracking parameter that will tie others who click the link from here to your change.org acct

It may be the basic ubuntu telemetry (relatively non-invasive, but still a concern for the privacy-minded) sent by this tool unless you opted out at install:

https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-report

from that page:

So it would not surprise me if it was scheduled to send, failed, and then re-triggered upon activation of a new network connection (the VPN).

Edit: Or even more likely, it is a connection from networkmanager to connectivity-check.ubuntu.com

honestly though the rich usually don’t carry wads of cash. If I had to guess I’d say that much like with the signal side chats, the whole administration is instinctively hiding their paper trail to avoid later scrutiny.

yeah that’s pretty high tbh. I know people who carry a lot of cash for various reasons (often specifically for offering to buy crappy vehicles and other moderately priced things from people on the spot) but 3k is even more than that

appreciate the good read

Also, this paragraph is cut off

Nevertheless, a plan was formulated by Yuan Shikai, who had switched sides from being pro-Qing to pro-Republic starting in the 1900s. He managed to convince the emperor to abdicate and make Sun Yat-Sen President of the fledgling Republic, with the provision that Sun would

I mean I don’t actually care and I certainly do not have a xitter acct, I just thought it was funny to literally completely ignore the entire middle of the country (and like 3/4 of the east coast), then I noticed the chicago date…

There are absolutely leftist bookstores in probably every state in the US, or nearly so, but I get it. It’s tough to get enough publicity to get turnout, and it probably really sucks as an author doing good work with sizable readership to go to like, a milwaukee or a st louis and just have like 3 people show up to your event. Like if there was one in my city I probably wouldn’t go, I haven’t read this guy’s books, though I have read excerpts of Palo Alto I believe.

wow he’s really blanketing the country. california, seattle, portland and the southern half of the acela corridor

edit: I stand corrected he’s also doing chicago. that makes it less egregious.

hahaha wow

most VPNs seem to be technically possible to get working on linux if you dig enough to figure out what its doing under the hood (if often unofficially, such as cisco anyconnect) but ymmv

I mean, it’s a reputable magazine. It’s not a scientific study directly but it seems fine and cites some specific data, and the author is an actual professor of planetary science. And it’s actually been updated with a more modern hypothesis circa 2021 at the bottom. It’s not like our understanding of mercury has completely changed in the last 10-15 years

“AI” as popularly conceived (mainly LLMs) isn’t necessary to automate tractors. But I appreciate the focus on productive, non-destructive uses of technology

there’s some shit going on in nyc lol. I don’t expect they’re paying the fines. Or they’re somehow making more on videos of them doing it than the fines cost.

I also can’t vouch for its accuracy but I suspect its related to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpG0LdTNfOc

this is from camera data but these are actually specific vehicles which have been caught by the cameras repeatedly: https://www.amny.com/news/where-drivers-get-speed-camera-tickets-in-nyc/

These appear to be specific cars, not just models of vehicle

thanks. I really don’t get why bsky does this “the author wants you to be signed in” thing if it’s just going to be publicly available via another interface.

Can you provide the link you mention? can’t see any of that without a bsky account
