A solid 8 or 9 months beyond acceptable, but the only time it’s too late to stop arming genocidal regimes is after their goal is complete.
Don’t forget the hundreds of billions that global capitalism funneled into China by “outsourcing” absolutely everything they possibly could over the last 30-40 years — devaluing developed world labour markets and environmental regulations, and winding back the clock to an unregulated slave labour market is what made it so attractive.
With 700 million bots conducting marketing and psychological warfare ops it is!
This would actually make a huge amount of sense. Your brain literally chemically rewires during puberty, so I imagine there’s also varying degrees of memory pruning based on frequency of access and interrelatedness.

I had a fine childhood. Nothing I would consider abnormal in a traumatic or negative sense, and the fidelity of my memories have always been limited. Some brains just aren’t designed to hold onto the past … which is quite comical because I the things I do remember, I remember strongly; even when they’re essentially irrelevant. Oh well.
Intercepting the shipment, lining the interior of with some explosive (some putty that could hug all open space, or swapping out the batteries with custom ones that are half filled, etc), then wiring up a microchip that triggers when a specific code of 1’s & 0’s is received, or perhaps audio signal.
We’re talking about a state secret police here. There is no law or order. There is no “democracy”. They have billions of dollars in funding, and a mandate to do whatever they want with essentially zero consequences.
Freedom™️
What I find most concerning is that a large number of people/journalists considered it plausible to blow up a (edit: stock standard) pager remotely via some hack or zero day.
The war crimes are expected.
When there are zero consequences for war crimes, the “rules based” law and order we virtue signal is completely meaningless.
Companies will pass costs onto consumers anyway, so best to make them all bear the same costs and be on a level playing field. No point targeting consumers directly unless it’s greenwashing.
My city banned plastic bags a year ago. I’m still using ones from 2-3 years ago. The bags that replaced them are advertised as more “reusable” but use like 5-10x more plastic per bag and I doubt I’m going to even get double the longevity. Really feels like they did it to benefit the fossil fuel merchants of death, and not reduce plastic at all… especially considering everything else is still wrapped in single use plastic.
He has now agreed to forfeit the money along with various aircraft parts.
Oh look. Another example that we live in capitalist plutocracy’s masquerading as democracy™️… Imagine trafficking drugs and the only consequence being forfeiture of the proceeds and inventory.
Non violent drug offense? Life in prison! Violating sanctions and assisting a hostile enemy? Oopsie whoopsie!
Just plutocracies, doing plutocratic things, because they’re plutocracies.
You’re clearly one of the reasons the quality is so low. Wasting everyone’s time using lemmy as your personal link aggregator. It’s obnoxious af.
America’s a plutocracy, so there’s like a 90% chance nothing will come of it.
What the scientific community needs to do is make publishers irrelevant by creating a series of FOSS projects similar to the fediverse — architected, coded, owned, and operated by the scientific community — with the explicit goal of making a universal scientific journal where peer review is open, transparent, and at cost.
There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for a handful of publishers to gate-keep peer-review in 2024. All of the problems are technically solved, and inexpensive. The only thing that’s necessary is the will.
Yeah, the quality on Lemmy is nowhere near what Reddit was back in its heyday 10+ years ago; mostly due to the quality of the users; users who think content like this is worthy of posting and upvoting.

I’ll snort the blow off their nail, though. I’m not a hater.

You mix a ton of wasabi into the soy sauce. Artificial non-problem solved!
