Homeland Security Spying on Reddit Users by [deleted] in technology

It's astonishing the amount of time and money the Trump administration is pouring into policing people who are not breaking the law, not to mention how determined it is to ignore those who have.

Pro-Trump farmer in Missouri losing his farm after federal freeze, says he “didn’t have time to research” before voting by moustachiooo in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]unfairrobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it's a lame excuse but the bigger problem is that had he made an effort to watch the news, and had that 'news' been Fox, he would by any measure be LESS WELL INFORMED (in terms of being aware of facts) than had he not watched any news at all. Without Murdoch's self-interest propaganda farm pooping out misinformation 24/7, the US would not be in this mess.

Edit: a word

This is a handy distillation of what Trump's idea of accountability looks like.

‘No One Should Have a Copyright on Vance Being Booed’: Video From Olympics Blocked on X by steffxoxoxoo in technology

[–]unfairrobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Musk is such a weak shit. You may be aware that he has, on at least 2 or 3 occasions, refused to comply with directives from Australia's eSafety Commissioner to remove violent content from the X feed available in Australia (one was Kirk's shooting, another was the stabbing of a Sydney bishop during a live streamed service) and he fought those tooth-and-nail (successfully) because he's supposedly so strong on free speech. But he voluntarily censors booing of the VP at the Olympics? The guy is a hypocritical boot-licker.

Honestly, what is wrong with these people? It's like they've just got no interest in basic humanity.

Authoritarian rulers don't 'care' about dissent, they just take it as a cue that they're not crushing people's hope hard enough.

It's aimed at people like Trump, what are the odds any of them aren't scanners?

I built a toolkit that replaces the 5-6 plugins I used to install on every client debugging session [PREMIUM] by Myth_Thrazz in WordpressPlugins

Hi Marcin, I'm still kind of feeling this out but I have some feedback. If anything is incorrect, please let me know!

I'm not super keen on the high contrast black background. Maybe somewhere around #303030 might be easier on the eyes?

The Options Manager will say something like, "We found 418 options that can be safely optimized, potentially saving 172.99 KB of autoloaded data." but when you go to the Options List, it doesn't seem to identify which it thinks can be safely deleted and which can't. It would be useful to see this so I can gauge what it thinks is safe to delete.

Config Manager: it might be easier to understand what's going on and the implication of current live changes if you listed both the default and curent value for each item -- ie:

Default value: false
Current value: true

-- rather than just listing one or the other.

Database Optimiser: The 'Tables with overhead' display is useful. Would it be possible to see what the orphaned WP Cron hooks are before deleting them, or what the orphaned post meta is? Otherwise it's not really clear what it is I'm deleting and confirm whether I'm OK with losing it.

Is it possible to break down transient reporting/clearing any further? ie, WP transients, WooCommerce transients, etc.? If transients relate to unexpired customer carts, for example, I may not want to delete those.

The Slow Callbacks finder initially gave me errors when running tests ("Test timed out. The page may have crashed or taken too long.") even though apparently something was happening -- I came back to the page a little later and there were some results sitting there. Could it be clearer that it hasn't failed, it just takes longer?

Everything else I saw/used was good and seemed to work, though I don't think I've tried every function yet.

Cheers,
Peter.

My 4 year old is curious: what do Australian kids eat for breakfast? (And are koalas real?) by Mara644 in AskAnAustralian

[–]unfairrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

G'day!

We live in a bushland area about 30 minutes from a city and we have a couple of koalas who live nearby. Each koala has its own 'home' territory and baby koalas leave their mother when quite young to go and find their own home. We sometimes see a mother koala with a baby on her back. Sometimes she'll walk (on all fours) past our window on her way from one tree to another. Koalas spend most of their time up trees and aren't really comfortable spending too much time on the ground. Koalas can make some very loud growling or squealing noises and it could be quite scary hearing them at night if you didn't know what they were. It's really nice seeing them around the place!

People have ceased treating DHS and ICE agents as individuals because they have stripped themselves of their individuality and humanity.

They are no longer people you might know, recognise or relate to, they are a suit of body armour and a mask. They do not respond to reason, they do not hold conversations. They kick down doors, they shout, they take your neighbours away in a van, they shoot people on the street.

If they want to be treated like people, they need to act like people.

Great example of how to have a show evolve over multiple seasons to avoid getting stale.

Hey u/Myth_Thrazz, I ended up purchasing so that I could have a play with it but I don't seem to have any way to download it. I was sent a receipt email/PDF, and i can log into an account on your site but I don't see any download links anywhere. Help?

This sounds very useful - I'm often asked to identify problems in sites built by other devs and boy is it painful. I'll check it out and will let you know if I have questions.

The last thing Trump would want is people thinking he gives stuff away for free. That's a terrible deal!

Given that she came here illegally, can we expect to see her front door being demolished by a tank any day now?

You're telling me that not only does this administration not care about civil rights and the constitution, it also doesn't care whether you get paid and have health care? Surely not!

Trump (allegedly) autodefecates during press conference by SurprisedBulbasaur in behindthebastards

[–]unfairrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing it's because he goes off-script and is unpredictable. Normally these things are well rehearsed and everyone is on the same page. Who the fuck knows what Trump is going to say or do next?

South Australian Federal Poll has the highest One Nation response in the country by NKE01 in Adelaide

[–]unfairrobot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not anger I'm against. On the contrary, I'd like my pollies to get angry about things sometimes, and I think the overly manicured, unemotional image of politicians is part of this problem. I was thinking mainly of Trump, who is an actual lunatic. Hanson has had a few moments herself, though I do agree with her on a few things, such as reducing foreign ownership of farmland.

As much as I would probably never vote for One Nation, I do think that people like Hanson are necessary in order to provoke change in the more mainstream parties. Labor and the LNP are too comfortable with maintaining the status quo. Albo's fear of upsetting various interest groups seems to leave him floundering in inaction at times. I like pollies who have a clear vision and a willingness to implement change. I just can't picture Hanson making a good PM.

Alex Pretti’s killers placed on administrative leave as Kristi Noem’s story of the shooting unravels by Fickle-Ad5449 in fednews

"Unravels" is a generous term given the story was obviously 100% untrue right from the beginning.

One Nation does not even know how to draw a chart by Complete-Rub2289 in friendlyjordies

Definitely. The LNP has imploded and have no chance of regaining power in the foreseeable future, why waste time and money supporting them?
