"..when the authorities did act, they were also punished. Arron Banks didn’t just sue me for defamation, but the Electoral Commission too.
You won’t know that, of course, because, like my trial, it was barely reported"

⚠️ DO NOT BUY: LG’s Spyware TVs, Monitors, and Wiretapping Concerns
The attached #video details the absolute #privacy horror of LG #television and #monitor products, that install #adware without consent, have #AI integration, and a horrible privacy policy..
> LG recently forced upon us an app install loaded with #McAfee adware through a #Windows update. We found that this has been happening to tons of users, made worse by LG's shady history with #TV's that instruct buyers to inform house visitors of third-party microphones in their living room. At no point in the adware or application install did LG or Microsoft ask us for consent or permission to install the software and enable its various permissions. On monitors ranging 1 day old in our office to 3 years old, we've been able to replicate these issues -- including on the LG 34GX900A-B that we just bought (and have now returned, following #spyware concerns).
@smallcircles
Thanks for the advice. I will avoid all LG products.
I would have never volunteered if I knew how many protests I'd be missing.
@CartyBoston Still waiting for my travel reimbursement from the LAST protest. This is ridiculous, how is anyone supposed to make a living as a paid protestor under these conditions?

"They are going to try and convince you, and I worry that you are convinced, that your rage is somehow inherently criminal. It is absolutely not criminal.
Break shit. Be angry. Because we are no longer in the era of civil vs uncivil.
I'm not telling you to be violent, I'm telling you to rage, and they are two different things."
Powerful words by Australian comedian Khaled Khalafalla. Watch to the end, it's worth it 😉

@chpietsch I know. Still important to warn people not to start anything using rails or supporting that person in any other way.
@tante Yes. Although DHH does not officially run RoR these days according to https://rubyonrails.org/foundation , I do not see any indication that the RoR community has distanced itself from DHH. Instead, they keep inviting him as a keynote speaker: https://rubyonrails.org/world/2026/speakers/dhh
"Ihm sei bewusst geworden, dass sein persönliches Glück, eine Familie zu gründen, nicht vereinbar sei mit seinem politischen Amt."

Some good news to cleanse your timeline:
Support for Tisza vs Fidesz in Hungary is now at an unprecedented 73%:21%. Fidesz & Orban keep collapsing & major players are jumping ship.
Remarkably, this is because the new Tisza party has mostly just been remarkably not shit since their election. Almost all of their appointed minsiters are reasonable and almost all of their energy is directed towards strengthening institutions & common sense reforms. They also communicate these changes effectively and invlove people in decision making processes where it make sense.
It's unbelievable to see politicians just not being shitty despite having unlimited power, and voters not being dumb and recognizing this. Almost like a parallel universe. I really hope this continues beyond the honeymoon phase!

Funny fact: The Tisza Party is conservative, centre-right, pro-European, and populist. It is led by a former Fidesz member.
Hungarian playbook for defeating the far-right: concentrate on just a few things and put identity politics aside. You can be left-progressive and support TISZA in the common effort to establish the rule of law.

Coucou la #véganie ma paire de chaussures bon marché achetée en urgence vient d'atteindre le point critique (semelle trouée) donc qu'est-ce que vous avez à me recommander qui tient bien sur la durée qui soit exempt de produits d'origine animale et ne soit pas à 80% pétrosourcé ?
Inutile de me proposer les chaussures en « liège » j'ai essayé c'est nul c'est juste une fine couche de liège sur un tissu pétrosourcé et c'est hyper fragile. Sauf si ça existe vraiment des chaussures en liège massif.
@yayamatt if you can't find me, I dropped some in the Robot Arms. Sticker swap in the middle.
@Edent perfect. Thanks. I'm not far from there. I'll have a look.

Huh! Apparently the east german Trabant car - you know, the one in Jalopy, with the terrible 2-stroke engine and body so light you can pick it up? - was originally intended to get an upgrade to a wankel rotary engine.
There's an alternative timeline where if you want a car with a rotary engine, your choices are:
- Mazda
- VEB Sachsenring????

There is nothing more quintessential to the marginalized subgroup experience on-line than being on several block lists maintained by white women who don't understand what a reclaimed slur is and would at least consider calling the cops on you irl for standing in line at the same gas station
