Was he not living a comfortable life in the bowels of a country that was committing vicious, daily war crimes when he lived in the USA? We kill/displaced over a million civilians in Iraq, not to mention the mess we left in Afghanistan. The carnage we've unleashed with drone warfare, CIA black sites, Guantanamo Bay, ect...

Yes, Russia are the bad guys, but we have done some truly heinous things as well. Snowden revealed a little of the crimes we commit and you're ready to wash him away because it hurts your position that we are somehow morally superior to other countries?

Nobody gets tortured or killed in prison?

Regardless of your thoughts on the guy, nobody deserves what Assange has gone through in custody. Same with Manning.

Trump probably hates guns as much as Bloomberg but lots of republicans still love him

People typically don't understand the laws as they exist currently

If you ask most people if they support "background checks" you're going to find that almost all people support that, things change a bit when you explain the difference between the existing background checks and the proposed "universal background checks".

Most people don't understand the difference. And to be quite frank, the organizations running the polls might not understand either, or it's in their best interest to not explain

Republicans only care about gun rights when Democrats are in office. Same with Democrats about abortion. Neither do anything to reinforce either right when they control a majority of the branches of government.

Most people that are in favor of stricter gun laws don't understand the current laws that already exist and just hear buzzwords like "gun show loophole"

If that were true, the NFA would be repealed (the legal ground for it was pretty shaky originally and somehow it has stood)

California's grid can't support more electric cars

Fact checkers serve the establishment, they aren't doing it for you

Don't forget South America. The CIA is a scourge to the world

Good thing it was the CIA, ATF would have just shot them dead

I live on 20+ acres right now. I have an outdoor cat as a mouser. She'll disappear for days at a time and show up for a nap on the couch or to play with the kids and then be gone.

I'd love to see what she gets up to when she's away since there really isn't any houses nearby (maybe 1/4 mile away at the closest). Unfortunately we don't have cell service outside of the booster range in the house so this wouldn't do much for me

I get a solid 6 hours of battery if I'm not in meetings all day. I will agree with thermals though, it gets hot especially docked

I've only done a few LAN parties in the last handful of years, and they weren't quite as magical as doing it as a teenager where you spend 75% of the time deciding on what to play and then figuring out how to crack it so everyone can play.

It has been interesting to see the prevelance of 3D printed firearms used against the military in Myanmar.

IBM already helped the Nazis in the Holocaust. They never had morals to start with. If we elected Hitler's reanimated corpse, IBM would gladly help again

I prefer it to Plex. It really depends on your clients though. I primarily use it on Android TV and Kodi clients.

I ditched Plex after I couldn't watch my own media when I lost internet at my house.

I have it installed on my gaming PC. It is fine

You're still a clump of cells

> Postwar US Uranium mines in Arizona and Utah also used Dine (Navajo) and other native peoples with similar levels of racism, exploitation, leaving thousands of people sick etc.

Not exactly just exploiting minorities. My grandpa died because he mined Uranium post-war, but he was white and afaik so was everyone he worked with.

I don't know anything about Gonzalo, but are you insinuating that it's okay for people to be locked up because they are accused of being pro-Putin?

Governments tend to

Top 3 at least

Surveillance capitalism is one of the most immoral things I can think of. Privacy and piracy are not only ethical but necessary

When I was a teenager my grandmother lived with us for a few years because she was unable to care for herself. Once we went to a museum as a family and my parents sent me and my brother to get a wheelchair for my grandma. When we found one I got in and had my brother push me. As a joke he started running and let go and I flew off the curb and crashed into the parking lot.

A lot of people rushed over to help and were quite upset when I hopped up and ran off with the wheelchair.

This is something I could have used a few times over the last few years. Looks very cool, unfortunately I don't have a need for it at the moment!

Off topic: is there a way to use one of the LLMs and have it ingest data from a SQLite database and ask it questions about it?

I'd be curious to see how Comanches would have fared against the Mongols. At least the mounted troops.

No, but I have plenty of evidence to suggest that the US government doesn't have our best interests at heart...
