Una roba come una settimana e mezza fa, ho visto un altro di quei bug stupidi e insignificanti, ma bizzarri ed inspiegabileggianti, sul mio amatissimo Windows 10… Poi però, non ho fatto il post subito per immortalare l’ops, perché girlfailure… E, visto che a schermo si vedono data ed ora, ovviamente in un punto scomodo per tagliare, e mettere una censura sopra avrebbe reso ancora più evidente quello che avrei voluto nascondere… non mi sono sentita di farlo il giorno dopo… e ovviamente quello dopo anche peggio… Ma oggi è ricapitato!!! 🙀
Sulla schermata di blocco del mio computer, e a quanto pare su quelli di pochi altri utenti (gli unici sui quali l’ho visto sono appunto il mio fiisso e quello di non ricordo chi su Internet, mentre tutti gli altri PC Windows che vedo in giro non ce l’hanno), c’è questa specie di sezione che appare in basso, tipo un widget che replica le sezioni importanti dalla roba “News e Interessi”, probabilmente non disattivabile (ma tanto a me piace, visto che riempie lo schermo altrimenti mezzo vuoto…). Molto simpatica e brio-portante. 🙏 (Si, ecco qua: la schermata di oggi è di 6 ore fa, e quella passata è di 10 giorni fa… ormai ho già confessato, quindi non c’è rischio di mettermi in ridicolo ammettendo la mia inadeguatezza in cose particolari come questa. ❤️🩹) Peccato solo che, in alcuni giorni molto fortunati (per me che trovo scuse per scrivere, non per Microsoft che si prende l’ennesima presa per il culo sa parte mia), capita che il merdino parta rotto all’avvio del sistema. Poi si sistema da solo dopo qualche decina di secondi, per qualche motivo, però intanto per quel periodo iniziale non carica nessuna immagine o icona sul widget. Ci sono degli eclatanti spazi vuoti sulle varie schede: manca l’icona dello stato corrente su quella del meteo, e mancano le miniature degli articoli per le schede più a destra. 🙈
Una cosa per fortuna non da impazzirci, perché non mi dispererò se manca l’icona del sole sul mio monitor (specialmente ora, con questo caldo, soli non ne voglio vedere nemmeno in SVG) ma comunque una roba da pazzi! Non mi capacito di come possa succedere, banalmente. Se la connessione Internet funziona per prendere il testo da mostrare, allora deve funzionare anche per scaricare le immagini… (oltre al fatto che le icone del meteo dovrebbero stare in qualche cache, ma lo sappiamo che il software Microsoft non è mai ideale…) Boh, basta Minisoft… 🥴
Civil rights advocates and scholars say the US government’s claims are troubling indicators of rising authoritarianism
After New York City comptroller Brad Lander this week became the latest prominent Democrat to be arrested while monitoring and protesting US immigration authorities, the Trump administration trotted out a familiar refrain to justify his detention.
The mayoral candidate had “assaulted” law enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) asserted, warning “if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will face consequences”.
The accusation, which DHS has also recently leveled against a member of Congress and a high-profile union leader, have sparked consternation, particularly as videos of the incidents did not show the officials attacking officers and instead captured officers’ aggressive behavior and manhandling of the officials.

Sydney (AFP) – Australia's world-leading ban on under-16s joining social media sites cleared a big hurdle Friday as a trial found digital age checks can work "robustly and effectively".
Sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok and X could face fines of up to Aus$50 million (US$32 million) for failing to comply with the legislation, which was passed in November.
They have described the law -- which is due to come into effect by the end of this year -- as vague, rushed and "problematic".
There has been widespread concern over children's use of online platforms as evidence shows that social media can have negative effects on children's mental and physical health.
Digital age verification systems -- which would be critical to the ban -- can work, said the interim findings of an independent Age Assurance Technology Trial, conducted for the government.
"These preliminary findings indicate that age assurance can be done in Australia privately, robustly and effectively," it said.
There are "no significant technological barriers" to deploying age checking systems in Australia, said the trial's project director, Tony Allen.
"These solutions are technically feasible, can be integrated flexibly into existing services and can support the safety and rights of children online," he said in a statement.
In a separate interview with Australia's Nine Network, Allen said preventing children circumventing age verification tools was a "big challenge", however.
"I don't think anything is completely foolproof," he said.
There are a "plethora" of approaches to age verification but no single solution to suit all cases, said the trial report, in which 53 organisations took part.
Australia's legislation is being closely monitored by other countries, with many weighing whether to implement similar bans.
Greece spearheaded a proposal this month for the European Union to limit children's use of online platforms by setting an age of digital adulthood -- barring children from social media without parental consent.
The issue was never preventing childen from using it. Parental controls baked into every operating systems could do that for decades. But since that's not the real goal, you ignore that.
The issue is and always was collecting data from everyone to prevent children from using it. Then there are privacy issues, use of proprietary software, and inevitable data leaks. Will government take responsibility for each data leak due to their incompetence forcing this on everyone?
So while it's cool it "<...> can support the safety and rights of children online <...>", fuck off with your surveillance bill.
You’re assuming a Harris administration would have handled this significantly differently, when regime change in Iran has been bipartisan consensus ever since the 1978 revolution removed the puppet regime that the US installed in 1953.
A Harris presidency wouldn't be threatening nuclear action. But I totally agree. The entire system needs tossed. And if that's what you mean then say that. All this "Harris is the same" just promotes apathy at best, and derision between the left and liberals at worst at a time where unity is needed and doesn't even hint at "the system is broken".
A Harris presidency wouldn't be threatening nuclear action.
Sure they would. They'd just keep it out of the public eye. Otherwise, we'd dismantle all our nukes. Keeping them is a threat enough.
The entire system needs tossed. And if that's what you mean then say that.
I did, and I say that all the time. I'm openly an anarchist 🏴🏴🏴.
All this "Harris is the same" just promotes apathy at best, and derision between the left and liberals at worst at a time where unity is needed and doesn't even hint at "the system is broken".
Yes you absolutely should be apathetic to the circus of two-party politics. Of course we shouldn't be apathetic to the brutal realities of capitalism, but both parties already are, and following the "circus" at all directs attention away from the reality of capitalism because that's what it's designed to do.
And do not get me started on liberals and their derision. It literally does not matter how nice and flowery leftists make our ideas, liberals will always shit on them and side with the fash until they stop being liberals, because liberals are creatures of the right. So at some point, we gotta put our feet down and say "This is what we stand for, and if you're against that, you're against us." I'm willing to make "supporting one of the genocidaires is bad and should not be done" one of those things.
The constant "there's a dang Cheeto in the white house!" comes with the implication that anyone who wasn't "the Cheeto" would be meaningfully different in the role.
Particularly in 2016 - 2020 the implication was Hillary, now it's Harris, as that's who he ran against.
Edit: It's a focus on the individual in the role rather than the system itself, despite vast evidence that the problems are long term and systemic. Whether the intention or not, it's undeniably a liberal defense of the broader system itself.
Op says, 'I hate coke" and we respond "Pepsi is also bad" . This doesn't ever even imply that soda just sucks. It just shuts down discussion, makes us sound contrarian.

Seeing the recent news with France trying to age-restrict pornographic material online, I was wondering and have sort of an idea, that I wonder if it is actually doable and actually good.
Hear me out: the gobermint likely already has your data, right? At least stuff like name, date of birth, etc. The gobirment could have a private and secure service, which websites and services could use to confirm certain requirements.
For instance: A website wants to confirm if you're over 18. The website essentially asks the official gob. service, "is this user at least 18 years of age?". The official gob. service essentially has to answer "yes, your requirements are met" or "no, your requirements are not met", without giving away information on a person. The user gets prompted, being told what information is being required and whether they wish to share that. The official service wouldn't know where the request is coming from, but the original website requesting the information generates and shows a temporary code, which is not related to the website at all and is sent to the gob. service, so that the user can confirm it is indeed the website they were using that is requesting this, and not a hijack of some kind. The gob. service, if allowed by the user, sends out this confirmation to the original website, without the gob. service knowing the website and without the website knowing the user's info. The website then knows whether their requirements are met and can then act accordingly, such as by not allowing someone to access adult material if they do not meet the age requirement.
Does this make sense? Is it doable? Could it be a potential private and secure way of confirming user information without either party having access to the other's information? Obviously, the idea could be worked on and polished, but as a starting point.
Ayo I see you one down voter, just know you outed yourself as the top image.

Hair is 100% genetic, products ain't going to do shit about that. It's all just a scam targeted at insecure men who want to achieve unrealistic body standards pushed by society. Just own the bald, or don't, do what you want to do and fuck society.
I mean, yes, hair is genetic... but genetics also include epigenetics.
If you take two identical twins, both prone to alopecia, give one of them 45 years of nothing but unending stress, and the other a calm and relaxing life, I'm pretty confident your stressed out twin is gonna be more bald more quickly than the other.
But, to go back to general agreement: Yeah basically every common hairloss prevention whatever is a almost entirely a scam.
We're talking like... twice daily usage for months results in... 15 to 8 new hairs per sq centimeter, for rogaine/minoxidil.
Sure, technically, it does work... but just barely, and you'd have to keep using it forever, and even if you did, if you're prone to hairloss, you'll hit a follicle loss rate that exceeds the regrowth rate at some point.
I have some kind of alopecia, as a woman. It all started falling out when I was 14. I kept a pixie cut, dyed blonde, for over 15 years because of it. Crying in front of the mirror was inevitable all through those years.
Wasn't until my early 30s it started to.. idk, get a little fuller, but it's still thin. Luckily, I also stopped giving a fuck about it about then. I stopped cutting it, I stopped dying it. I now have long hair for the first time since I was 14.
When I met my husband, he wore a hat, indoors. Whenever we go out he wears a hat still. He has thinning hair up top. The man's so tall I hardly see it. I hardly notice it, and it doesn't look bad anyway. I realized he feels the same for me, and most people aint gonna judge you for something like that. Why do we judge ourselves so harshly?
Anyway, Topix makes a fiber powder. I cried with joy the first time I used it. It's not a permanent solution nor an everyday one, but if you have an event to attend, I highly recommend it for a boost of confidence.
None of those top things will have any impact on androgenic alopecia except the lotion/shampoo, depending on the ingredients. Minoxidil+finasteride really does work, some folks get better results faster than others but consistent application will get you results inevitably. Any other drugs/chemicals claiming to prevent or reverse hair loss are at best unproven and are probably just a scam. Hair plugs are also a much better option than they used to be, a bit more of a pain in the ass on the front end but once it's done you never have to worry about going bald again for the rest of your life.
True, free to die of preventable illness, starvation or exposure after being kicked out of the alley they were sleeping in for the 5th time in a month. No one is free under this economic system.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer put off issuing any additional rulings and instead asked for briefings from both sides by noon Monday on whether the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits troops from conducting civilian law enforcement on U.S. soil, is being violated in Los Angeles.
The hearing happened the day after the 9th Circuit appellate panel allowed the president to keep control of National Guard troops he deployed in response to protests over immigration raids.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in his complaint that “violation of the Posse Comitatus Act is imminent, if not already underway” but Breyer last week postponed considering that allegation.
The alleged officers detaining hundreds if not thousands of people each day in California and across the country are often masked. They sometimes refuse to answer questions, including which agency they represent. They threaten force — and even use it to make arrests of bystanders — when they are challenged.
In the first video I watched, a man in an unmarked car detains another man sitting on a bus bench in Pasadena. The man presumed to be a federal agent has on a vest that simply says “Police” and a cheap black ski mask that covers every bit of his face — the kind that looks like it was purchased on Amazon and that we have previously most associated with criminals such as robbers and rapists. A few of his colleagues are in the background, some also seemingly masked.
If these men approached me or one of my kids dressed like that, I would run. I would fight. I would certainly not take his word that he was “police” and had the right to force me into his car.
In the second video, another presumed federal agent jumps out of his unmarked vehicle and draws his weapon on a civilian attempting to take a photo of the license plate.
Yes — he points his gun at a civilian who is not threatening him or committing a crime. Folks, maybe you consider it a bad idea to try to photograph what may or may not be a legitimate police operation, but it is not illegal. This alleged officer appears to have simply not liked what was happening, and threatened to shoot the person upsetting him. The man taking the photo ran away, but what would have happened had he not?
These actions by alleged authorities are examples of impunity, and it is what happens when accountability is lost.
Federal authorities are increasingly hiding their identities, refusing to answer basic questions about their affiliations and deceiving the public to make arrests.

Despite blocking thousands of illegal streaming sites and services, Italy's new anti-piracy law and the related 'Piracy Shield' blocking system have a limited effect on piracy rates. Meanwhile, new data shows that the damages suffered by sports rightsholders continue to soar. On the positive side, public awareness of the new anti-piracy law is widespread.
LOS ANGELES—Confirming that doctors had performed the procedure successfully, sources reported Friday that Sabrina Carpenter had undergone a state-mandated lobotomy to cure her medically diagnosed nymphomania.

The U.S. Department of Commerce requires that all exportable GPS products contain performance limitations so that they cannot be used in a manner that could threaten the security of the United States.
Domestic GPS is plenty accurate to use in weapons. It must be accurate to <1M to be useful for navigation. If google maps can find your iphone in your house a missile can too.
I suspect that the Government has plans to make the signal less accurate or even turn it off in the case of an emergency.
GPS is also trivial to jam or spoof since the signals are weak anyway. In Ukraine the EW space is so flooded that they use wired drones, and old rockets with inertial navigation are popular.
