I should upvote because Drumpf has, in a very real sense, blood on his hands from his stochastic terrorism, mafioso fascist/rhetoric and policies; I should downote because political violence really doesn't make things better; and yet evil also triumphs when good people do nothing. What to do, what to do...

Will nothing rid us all of this turbulent turd? (Note "nothing", not 'no one')

Wait until your bank website/app login requires a captcha with the magic eye thing! Bwahahaha.

I understood that reference

This should be paired for contrast, as often as possible, with a collage of right-wing poster reactions mocking, minimizing or disputing the murder of Melissa Hortman and her husband.

Really, have these jokers read any books? Wow.

A wild 'D' suddenly appears! (that's about all I know about Pokemon...)

No fireflies where I grew up (western Canada). But I have been suspecting the same thing for many years, due to the fact that grasshoppers are now rare where I grew up in summer, and after a drive across Alberta to the west coast of BC (over 12 hours of highway), I can look at the front of my vehicle and see barely any dead bugs. When I was a kid a car would be absolutely plastered with bugs on any trip of such a length. There are just many, many fewer insects these days. And when insects diminish, the food chain all the way up must be suffering.

"AI" hallucinations are not a problem that can be fixed in LLMs. They are an inherent aspect of the process and an inevitable result of the fact that LLMs are mostly probabilistic engines, with no supervisory or introspective capability, which actual sentient beings possess and use to fact-check their output. So there. :p

Confirmed dead as of 4:47PM EDT.

...but sad both of these a-holes are this rich.

Well shit, that's gonna get used as an excuse to ratchet up the fascism... 'justify' the MAGA persecution complex even more.

Search for v2.79 (if memory serves) on oldversion.com for the last 'good' version of classic winamp, and the streamripper plugin is still floating around somewhere on the 'net....

Yeah but is it as bad as Illinois Nazis? I hate Illinois Nazis.

An absolutely ancient tool I used to use was WinAmp (v2.x) with the Streamripper plugin. It would save out each song from a shoutcast or icecast station to a file with the artist/album/title/track like a champ. Maybe not quite what you want (won't do youtube) but there are a ton of great indie stations on the vorbis icecast network...

Activists need to start using concealed cameras. There are some out there that can film and record audio that hide well as ties, brooches, watches, sunglasses, hats, etc.

Just stand across the street and act like they're watching passively, no cellphones out obviously recording.

Sorry, cannot upvote, this is more than mildly interesting. Did you ask any locals about it?

Is.. is vibe cat still with us?

Perhaps someone could write an 'adb loopback' app -- get that into the official app store, and said app would then squirt other .apk files through adb on the phone to itself, thus sideloading it.
