trte9343r4··on Apple might be implementing a VPN censorship order in Brazil
Waffen SS was not part of regular army (Wehrmacht), like you are trying to whitewash. From wiki: "the Waffen-SS, the military wing of the German Nazi party".

It was separate army, directly under Nazi party. Many members were German. They have different weapons, their own logistics, separate chain of command and so on.

> They were also intrinsically less involved in the Final Solution, unlike the regular Waffen-SS, by and large (in particular they were not involved operating the camps,

There were atrocities outside of West Europe as well.

trte9343r4··on A road safety plan that will lead to cars communicating with each other
We already have safety rules, but those are ignored!

If you cycle into grocery store, you may get chased and attacked by dangerous dogs. Many people gave up cycling and jogging for that! And in grocery store more dogs and excrements! There are rules against all of that, yet it is widely ignored.

Lidars will get vandalized pretty fast, because they will impede flow of traffic. Or thugs will use it to stop passing vehicles to make kidnapping easy!

> it was just one person

There was similar case with another SS member in Canadian Parliament a few decades ago.

> was Waffen-SS, not SS -- and yes, there's a major difference between the two.

Poland asked for his extradition. They seems to have different opinion.

From wiki:

Elements of the Waffen-SS Galizien worked alongside one of the most brutal units of Nazi Germany, the SS-Sonderbattalion Dirlewanger,[119] which had carried out brutal anti-partisan activities in Belarus and Poland, and had taken part in the suppression of the Warsaw Uprising.[123] The Waffen-SS Galizien destroyed several Polish communities in western Ukraine during the winter and spring of 1944.[124] Specifically, the 4th and 5th SS Police Regiments have been accused of murdering Polish civilians in the course of anti-guerilla activity.

You mean SS members applauded in Canadian Parliament? Those are "literal" nazis :)

> on infrastructure that can be used to fully control the communications and individual ability of people on press of a button.

> I fully expect the US to learn their lesson after the US elections

> I'm afraid the world will go through a techno-fascism stage

Do you remember last 4 years? All the censorship and election interference from big tech?

Real living SS member was applauded in Canadian parliament.
trte9343r4··on Laptop-like CrowView Note ready to work with Pi, phones and mini-PCs
This seems to have full support for Raspberry Pi.

- Type-C port supports 5V/5A PD (Pi does not comply with PD specs)

- keyboard and trackpad over USB-A

- Micro HDMI input

trte9343r4··on Greenwich schools to ban most cellphones, Apple Watches, Fitbits and more
Yes. There are existing leash laws. But it takes a lot of effort to get then enforced. And you need recording for proof!

Not every attack results in damage. And not every bite is an attack.

Maybe have a look at this (cyclist chased by dogs). None of this stuff gets reported. This guy has hours and hours of similar attacks. It is pretty common.

Schools there allow dogs: https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Land-mine-detecti...
trte9343r4··on Greenwich schools to ban most cellphones, Apple Watches, Fitbits and more
I am quite alright, thanks.

Just want dog owners to take some responsibility.

trte9343r4··on Greenwich schools to ban most cellphones, Apple Watches, Fitbits and more
Other commenter posted some data.

My point is that lighter attacks (scratches, jumping, sniffing, licking...) are so common, they can not even be reported.

If students have no cameras, many more teachers would bring their "pets" into school.

trte9343r4··on Greenwich schools to ban most cellphones, Apple Watches, Fitbits and more
Many kids walk around on their own, and phone is absolutely essential communication tool.

School simply has no right to interfere here.

trte9343r4··on X says it is closing operations in Brazil due to judge's content orders
But that is my argument! In UK takedown notices are given by some non-profit organization (not state), or are covered by TOS violation. But it is just censorship!

> in the past few weeks of social unrest.

Compare how social media handled recent UK protests, and "summer of love" riots in 2020!

Yeah, right. ChatGPT was trained on Pidgin English dialect.

Have a look at BBC translation to get a taste, and tell me its not hoax: https://www.bbc.com/pidgin

trte9343r4··on Judge orders CDC to stop deleting emails of departing staff: 'likely unlawful'
Really? Many athletes are not allowed to compete at Olympics without sterilization!
trte9343r4··on Judge orders CDC to stop deleting emails of departing staff: 'likely unlawful'
Some employers require sterilisation as part of the job. That does not mean you have to work for them!

Working for someone is voluntary!

trte9343r4··on Limits to running speed in dogs, horses and human
Not to "bring", they are already there! Just stop discrimination!

Include transgender athletes and record improves a lot. There is no reason why women should be slower than males.

No, every dog breed does that.

> If your issue is a barking dog or hypodermic needles in the park, then let’s talk about that. But don’t say, ‘This particular person’ or ‘This particular dog.’ We can’t fact-check that, and you could totally destroy someone’s reputation.”

But we can fact-check that. Many people who complain about dogs have video evidence, and weeks of records.

We had similar local forum. I complained about off leash dogs attacking children, and shitting in children playgrounds. Our city has strict leash-laws. I offered to provide video evidence for everything.

But "politeness" rules went out of the window. I am "horrible" and "unhappy" person who hates dogs. And somehow it is children fault, they get attacked by illegal dog, while playing at designated dog-free area! They "provoke" and "trigger" dogs, by sitting, walking or riding bicycle. Usual gaslighting!

trte9343r4··on DEF CON's response to the badge controversy
> After going overbudget by more than 60%, several bad-faith charges, and with a product still in preproduction, DEF CON issued a stop work order.

My reaction was "only 60% over budget"? This is a low volume custom computer. The way Defcon pushes promotion and recognition, I do not think they paid full commercial price.

Reason why I carry two phones. Three terabytes of storage between them. Instant laptop backups with Syncthing and local wifi network.
trte9343r4··on NASA says Boeing Starliner astronauts may fly home on SpaceX in 2025
None of them were drafted? In general army only 29% soldiers were volunteers. I find it hard to believe they all volunteered.

And I found a few cases where instructors were assigned to B-17 as a punishment.

trte9343r4··on NASA says Boeing Starliner astronauts may fly home on SpaceX in 2025
Like B-17 crew could refuse orders. That is not how draft works! It was slavery!
trte9343r4··on How long does Apple support Mac firmware?
> wonder what the big PC makers do

Just some anecdotal evidence:

- Dell XPS 13 from 2014 was getting bios updates until 2019 when I sold it.

- Asus AM4 motherboard was getting updates for 4 years. Mainly for new CPU models.

- 1 year old AM5 motherboard from gigabyte has to be used with original firmware, newer is quite unstable.

- Minisforum miniPC gets about 1 year of updates. Firmware download is via Mediafire (file sharing service). There are no downloads for 3 years old device.

I do not thibg bios is too big issue, most things like CPU vulnerabilities are patched in linux.

Space Shuttle was part of "Star Wars" project to bring down the Soviet Union. It met its goals by being super expensive.

Space flights were just side project...

trte9343r4··on Parody site ClownStrike refused to bow to CrowdStrike's bogus DMCA takedown
I do not know background of that. But Stormer at some point also endorsed Hilary Clinton (as a satire). I could imagine they were trolling BBC or CNN, that compared Cloudflare to nacist, for not censoring them.
