@graf@Crux_Invictus@Dan_Hulson Well, now I know why they hate it. "Little is known about Marsan, who keeps a basically nonexistent profile online. According to a former Brandy Melville store owner interviewed in the documentary and in Taylor's 2021 Insider exposé, Marsan and other senior leadership at the company were part of a group chat called "Brandy Melville gags" where racist, homophobic and anti-semitic jokes and memes, as well as sexually explicit photos, were shared. The store owner also claimed Marsan was a vocal Trump supporter who made fun of the young women he employed who were Bernie Sanders supporters." rare based fashion fag
@graf Your bank should be able to deposit them, like any other check. If you're trying to get actual cash, then any place that cashes checks should handle them too.
@graf It's kind of shocking that there's 139k people finding and using an unadvertised alt-tech service like that. (Or not people, since there could still be automation involved, but if you're actively weeding out the big ones then that's still a lot of human usage.)
@graf@burner Even Cloudflare gives up and blackholes protected addresses when a DDOS actually stresses their connections. Bandwidth is the fundamental rare commodity of cyberspace, like real estate is to meat space.
@jeffcliff@burner@graf For reliable distribution, yes. For raw volume, no. The Internet is fundamentally hierarchical, it just looks like a mesh when you zoom in.
@jeffcliff@burner@graf Sure, as attack volume. The way you mitigate attacks would choke all those fridges and home routers off the Internet. I'm all for nuking smart appliances but it wouldn't solve the mitigation problem.

@Humpleupagus@NitroDubs@Paultron@sickburnbro It depends on what they're measuring. PDs report the number of crimes reported, arrests, cases open vs cases closed. The FBI consolidates the numbers, but also have metrics around types that mismatch what local PDs have. So it might be possible they're going off of cases open, which could be down if nobody collects them or treats them as viable cases; plus an FBI filter that curbs it to specific categories. I haven't looked into the recent numbers, but there's also usually a 1-2 year lag publishing them. No way do they have accurate numbers for all 3 years right now, I bet there's estimation hidden in that chart.
@deprecated_ii@RustyCrab White flight is the complaint that property values fell when blacks moved into a white neighborhood, because all the whites left.
Gentrification is the complaint that property values are rising because whites are moving into a black neighborhood.
It's hilarious that their complaints reveal they hold the same underlying assumptions as the people they call racists.
@sickburnbro You just don't connect it to Internet during setup, and it skips past it. If it has wifi, you skip setting up a network because it asks that first. "Genius" my ass.
@sickburnbro But you don't have to if you did that trick. I have multiple Windows 10 computers without an MS account, the only thing it blocks is the Windows Store. Maybe things are different with Win11, but anyone using that deserves to suffer.
There is a perspective I can't understand no matter how many angles I view it from. I've been told again and again from a certain type of individual that preparing for change or hardship is not just nonsensical, but flat out evil. When I tell these people about how I'm learning to can food, grow my own vegetables or make the most out of the material I own now, they look at me like I'm the devil himself. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say these people hate me for being independent; they hate me for keeping myself free and secure. I genuinely can't understand it.
When Covid first happened and people were struggling to find basic things like milk, toilet paper, meat, ect. I really thought there would be a change, but instead I was met with an even greater anger from these types. I was the enemy for being prepared. I was a hoarder. I was the cause of the missing goods, despite everything I owned being months old. I was the one creating the problems.
This is the kind of thing that makes me believe in demons. Even accounting for subversive media, I just can't comprehend how somebody hates their neighbor for having a pantry full of canned food. It's nonsensical.
@ConvulsingFrothingSnatch To an over socialized mind, independence is a declaration that you intend to "betray" the group in hard times.
Getting called a hoarder is a common accusation. It pops up everywhere from Soviet famines to the Great Depression to government mints (accusing savers of hoarding gold/silver and destabilizing the currency). The best response is to hoard ammo and don't tell anyone you're prepping.
oh cool, if I let my linux desktop sit idle for a little while all the USB devices stop responding and I have to do a hard shutdown to recover because nothing brings them back
@graf@PraxisOfEvil@pasture@thendrix Yes but Orange Hitler "lost" so it's fine. History will progress on the right side until gay space communism takes over, any day now.
If Moon v Greer goes to the supreme court (unlikely), I suspect Moon will lose not only because of his actions (and inaction) in that particular incident, but because he failed to register his website with the US Copyright office and pay them the $6 extortion for safe harbor.
@graf@eriner@alex@Moon If you're talking about the new Beneficial Ownership regulations, older LLCs still need to file that, but the deadline is Dec 31 2024 instead of immediately.
@YeetLibs That's like Islamic banking. Both religions ban interest, so lenders have to structure a traditional mortgage to avoid it.
But banks are banks, they aren't handing out free money. If you read the 2nd part, someone who takes out a zero-interest loan like this doesn't get to "own" the house like you do with a mortgage. Instead the homeowner and the bank form a partnership, and as the homeowner pays the bank, they own a little bit more of the home.
If you default on a mortgage, you're out of the house and the bank gets 100% of it. If you "default" on this kind of loan, you split the ownership, but the bank has first claim usually. And if you sell the house for more than you bought it, the bank gets a cut of the profit; you can't just pay off the mortgage and pocket the difference. But if you sell it for less, you still owe the difference.
If the bank is doing it right they'll also jack up the up-front price of the house, same as any other zero interest loan (putting the interest into the principle). But I don't know the specifics of how that's calculated in Rabbinic finance.
@yockeypuck@graf I can kind of get that, automating something simple as opening a latch so that pet food falls into a bowl. But you can't automate brushing your teeth. This is some kind of fitness tracker bullshit thing, isn't it? "You did 57 circles today, 5% more than your average last week!"

@professionalbigot69 I've been saying it for years, but 2FA is a scam, a crutch for lazy devs and organizations who don't want to think about security. Nobody who relies on it ever considered a world where everyone has to use it for everything.

has there ever been a historical equivalent to the dudebro billionaire class, ala musk zuckerfuck bozos? Where ultrarich guys were also public figures?
@MoralPanic Maybe the 1920s influx of "new money", who immediately became socialites and public figures. It was the first confluence of fast wealth, emerging empires/industries, and mass media.
