ED Vance never does 😢

For those who wanna shell out some money:
Pricing is likely a little higher than the lowest price they show. Expect a couple bucks or something after making a purchase of like… five bucks or so.
Apparently Monero is accepted.
(They have plenty of competitors and some might be cheaper or not require purchasing a balance.)
Came to the comments b/c I was wildly confused. Nowwww I get it, live round ammunition. Thank uuuu
I’m wondering the timeframe. Did the gun SWOOSH out of his hand and then he slammed the button right in front of him worried the gun was going to explode or something?
What’s unforgivable is cops in LOS ANGELES even using one penny of taxpayer dollars to even think about cannabis. I guess they’re protecting state coffers - illegal buds = no tax revenue.
I’d want them to respond to complaints about growers near schools or something… and try to be proactive I suppose if a residential neighborhood reeks…
But reviewing all business power consumption and going on fishing expeditions WTF?! In LA?!?
Seem to work as an enema but concerning without knowing the bidet was deep cleaned moments before. Any thoughts on this very common thing we all like to talk about?
Awww surely not!
Ever heard that quote, paraphrasing the start of it:
You run into a jerk in the morning, you ran into a jerk.
(Maybe you know the rest) If you give that some thought for the rest of the week (assuming you’re out and about), interested to hear any thoughts on it :)
Read about those DCP drives! Maybe cammers are just burning theaters one by one and careful not to return for a long time if ever.
A theater operator doing the recording would be wildly risky it seems unless watermarking has been defeated. Visual and audio watermarking perhaps.
Seems like they’re very comfortable with applying watermarks at least for those betting sites!
Amazing clip you posted seven months ago here. Doesn’t seem like it could even be any better now.
Might have to make a new post about this:
How are there still cams if there’s been anti-piracy watermarks reported on since at least 2006?
Maybe the pirates never hit the same theater twice in a row… travel to different cities… only record at any given theater once every few years… then you’d need resources to catch somebody I’d guess.
I expect not all theaters can afford to send guys in with night vision goggles:
Maybe that’s outdated now since they can just throw up IR cameras:
Corrupt theater manager or shifty projectionist: no camera/security concerns, but still watermark concerns
Regular theatergoer: both camera/security concerns AND watermark concerns
Gutsy pirates out there!

This is the exact kind of thing I was hoping someone would chime in with. Thanks for the interesting info!
Looks like the new Beetlejuice movie was released as a telesync. I thought they were a thing of the past!
This is why I compose all my messages on an air gapped computer and send them out from my compound with couriers.
The politicians may want the win for selfish reasons. You just want the best representatives for yourself, your loved ones, and your country.
This hypothetical allows you to weigh a party taking the moral high ground against representatives the average Lemming does not want making four years of policy decisions being in a position to do so.
You can give the party you want to win a spine, but it comes at a cost.
Interesting. Then I’m guessing you’d accept the time machine showed you the right outcome & would let the dems lose this election, but it would help them for the next/future elections?
COMMUNITY/MODS: want this post gone, it’s gone - would remove ASAP.
Please be excellent to each other here. We have to self moderate or I’ll delete without being asked. Assume good intent.

I’m pro human which is why I’d rather have some people in office here in the US than others, and why I’m pro human rights.
Trans rights are human rights.
After reading criticism of the dems, this question resurfaced in my mind. I know we don’t have time machines, I know it’s easy to claim a false equivalency is being drawn. So note this question doesn’t represent reality. It represents a curiosity of a hypothetical.
Trans rights are human rights! Thank you.
PS: I hope neither this post nor its comments represent/produce any content that bad people will use to make arguments to further evil causes. Have I already erred? Yes I’m worried, I’m also curious enough to hit this post button here… gulp

Imagine you have a time machine that lets you peek into the future, specifically the 2024 election. You can see two possible pathways:
Pathway 1: Democrats go all-in on trans rights.
They champion inclusive policies, fight for trans healthcare, and actively challenge anti-trans legislation. However, this galvanizes the opposition and they lose the election.
Pathway 2: Democrats stay completely silent on trans rights.
They avoid the issue entirely, focusing on other policy areas. This strategy helps them win the election, but trans rights are left in a vulnerable position.
The question is: which pathway would you choose?
Would you prioritize a Democrat win, even if it means sacrificing progress on trans rights? Or would you fight for trans rights, even if it means risking a loss?

Put your NSFW hats on and enjoy y’all
Thanks for your input everybody!
Thank you - this led to lots of interesting reading!
Ayyyyy
Amazon Lightsail, free for three months!
What a fabulous suggestion to meet every need listed.
Like you, @just_another_person@lemmy.world & @AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space also get lots of credit for a solution that will meet my need in spite of my focus on the cloud-based solution. The free Lightsail option is a little slower than would be ideal.... it's also freeeee! So glad to be exposed to it regardless of whether I end up going local VM or cloud.
Thanks!
Hey friends,
I'd like to:
- Register for a social media account under a client's company name
- Research the presence companies in the client's industry have on the site
- Have a reasonable assurance the account will not be linked to my real name nor my network
- Use a VM for 10-30? hr/mo, short term
I am:
- US West Coast based
- Tech savvy but don't code (unless copypasta)
- Price conscious
- Privacy conscious in terms of social media companies linking my account and my identity

Assumptions and Understandings
Given the complexity of fingerprinting techniques, I am under the impression logging in to a remote computer and doing all this work from a browser there has one of the highest likelihoods of success. I'd measure success by not getting spammed with work-related ads, whenever I have to disable Ublock Origin at least. It seems likely a social network will know I'm using a remote desktop (based on IP and loading time/delays), but seems difficult for them to understand who exactly is using the cloud machine if I only use it for a singular purpose. I would hope data brokers aren't efficiently tying VM usage back to VM leasers.
I understand a VPS isn't typically suited for GUI usage, and VPNs can leave me more vulnerable to fingerprinting.
Finally, it looks like most of the low-end cloud PC options would support web browsing at a reasonable speed.

Questions:
- Have I betrayed any misconceptions?
- Is a cloud PC one of my best options, and if so:
- Can you recommend a provider and specs?
- Is there anything I'm missing?

Azure Virtual Desktop
Too cheap to be true? Requires some agreement...
Amazon WorkSpaces Personal
Yay Amazon. Inexpensive.
Windows 365 Business Cloud PC
Priciest option.
Vagon Remote Windows Desktop Cloud Computer
A little guy!

Thank you!
Developers (two dudes) are super responsive and would likely release an IP customization feature upon request. Is there any service that would tolerate this [D]DOS-y kind of behavior that would feel more privacy friendly than Cloudflare?
>IsThereNet [for macOS] watches for internet connection status changes and draws a colored line at the top of the screen to indicate the status.

Edit: Thanks everybody!
(1) ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Echo Requests hardly constitute a burden on a server. (2) There is little privacy concern simply exposing your IP to Cloudflare. (3) Uptime-Kuma can be self hosted to accomplish this task with more bells and whistles. (4) There is an appetite for daydreaming of DDOSing bad Alphabetic actors ;) You civilly digidisobedient rascals!
Here’s a (very stupid) parody of the attitude as I imagine it from the most obstinate people with this view:
>Well, my doctor says I need to take this medication, so that's what I'm going to do. I don't care what all those other people online are saying about their experiences with it. My doctor knows best, and I'm not going to listen to a bunch of anonymous strangers on the internet. They're probably just making stuff up anyway.
>Sure, I get that a lot of people had some nasty side effects or didn't see any improvement, but my doctor assured me that won't happen to me. He's a professional, so I trust him completely. And I know he's only trying to help, not line his own pockets or anything.
>All those online forums and support groups are just a waste of time. What could a bunch of regular people possibly know that my highly educated, experienced doctor doesn't? I'm going to take this medication exactly as prescribed and not ask any questions. My doctor is infallible, and I refuse to get a second opinion or consider any other options. Nope, I'm just going to blindly follow his advice and ignore everyone else. That's the smart and responsible thing to do!
(Yes, this is extraordinary (and like I said stupid), and yes your doctor knows more than JoeRando420 telling you to buy homeopathic crystal suppositories. In fact I only have one user in mind writing this post, someone I forget who posted long ago about a condition I cannot remember. Hope they got better.)
Main point is: why not let a large number of people who heard about a condition from their own qualified doctors help you at least scribble down some questions to ask your own medical folks at your next appointment? (But please avoid those crystal suppositories.)

Edit: thanks everybody, read all your posts and they're all great points! Glad I posted here. Thanks for reading something at least 80% dumb :)
