their fishing rods are invisible for you? including the hook and line? that must be rough. how do you avoid getting caught when you can't even see them?

Bespoke is a synthesizer first but "like a DAW in some ways, but with less of a focus on a global timeline. Instead, it has a design more optimized for jamming and exploration." (youtube trailer, wiki, wikipedia)

“But you can’t copy with Ctrl+C, it’s…” - You can. When something is selected It copies selection to clipboard, otherwise it sends SIGINT.

What terminal emulator are you using where ctrl-c copies instead of sending SIGINT when text is selected? In every one I've ever used, ctrl-c still sends SIGINT even with text selected (and one must must use ctrl-shift-C/ctrl-shift-V to copy/paste).

I don't have any suggestion for getting the behavior you're asking for, but besides the normal ctrl-(shift)-C/V clipboard FYI you also have two other types of clipboard-like things: one which works anywhere (not only in the terminal) and is actually always automatically copying anything you select and lets you paste from it with middle click (this originated with X Windows but i think most Wayland compositors have also implemented it by now), and another which is found in GNU Readline (used by bash and numerous other REPLs) called the "kill buffer" which can be pasted (or "yanked") from and cut (or "killed") to using Emacs keyboard shortcuts (which also include various cursor movement controls).

Notes:

• the kill buffer is local to a given readline context, it's not shared across different shell windows.
• the list of emacs keybindings in that wikipedia article i linked is currently confusingly referring to the kill buffer as "the clipboard"
• you can drastically reconfigure your readline keybindings and other behavior by editing your .inputrc file, but you cannot achieve what you were originally asking for because there is no concept of text selection in readline.

HTH!

update

Omnilert later admitted the incident was a “false positive” but claimed the system “functioned as intended”

here it is on an 18th century pirate flag

that one is an entirely dissimilar skull and cross bones

here it is on a US special forces patch

that one is 100% intentionally the SS-Totenkopf

I just don’t think it is reasonable to say he’s a Nazi based on this tattoo alone

I'm not saying he necessarily secretly considers himself a Nazi, but he does have an unambiguously Nazi tattoo and his explicit claim that he was totally clueless about its meaning for 18 years is simply not believable (especially in light of other evidence, like his reddit posts defending other solders' double lightning bolt tattoos).

I heard the interview.

Did you see the video or just listen to it? In case not, here is a link to the part of the podcast where they play the video showing the tattoo.

That link has like 7 different variations

But one is by far the most well known; you may remember it from Mitchell and Webb's Are we the baddies?

There are lots of types of skulls and crossbones used in many contexts, but his is specifically the SS-Totenkopf insignia used from 1934 to 1945.

It seems very implausible that, as he claims, nobody ever told him this before now.

And he obviously chose to release the video himself as damage control only after he knew it was coming out anyway.

Reddit somehow released his username and tied it to him?

Now he has a nazi tattoo that he didn’t know was a nazi tattoo. That may be true?

It is mildly plausible that he could have gotten the tattoo without realizing what it was. It is highly implausible that (as he claimed on a podcast yesterday) nobody ever told him what it was during any of the many times he says he's had his shirt off over the last 18 years.

He’s going up against Susan Collins.

Not yet he isn't. The primary isn't until next June.

don't hold your breath; he's already pleaded insincerity about his old reddit comments where he'd called himself a communist.

As Rockefeller said

it looks like that quote was first (presumably falsely) attributed to him in 2008

If they don’t use a bank, how are they pulling money out for it to be tracked?

One example I mentioned in my comment you're replying to is check cashing services. Millions of people in the US receive money via things like check or money order and need to change it to cash despite not having a bank account to deposit it in; this usually involves identifying themselves.

See also payday loans, etc.

See, none of it makes any sense lmfao.

I assume you didn't click (and translate) the link in the comment prior to mine which you replied to?

If you do, from there you can find some industry news about Serial Number Reading (SNR) technology.

I don't know how widely deployed that technology is, but there is clear evidence that it does exist and is used for various purposes.

I ONLY give other people cash, all my other purchases are debit/credit.

If you always use card payments whenever it's possible, it obviously isn't necessary to analyze your cash transactions to learn where you are because you are already disclosing it :)

Like MOST people and stores since Covid

There are close to 2 billion unbanked people in the world. In the US, it's less than 6% nationally, but over 10% in some states.

Many people who are not unbanked also often avoid electronic payments for privacy/security and other reasons.

The cash serial number tracking being described in this thread is useful for locating the neighborhoods frequented by someone who (a) avoids using electronic payments, and (b) maybe obtains cash from an ATM (or perhaps check-cashing service, in the case of an unbanked person) in places other than the neighborhoods they live in or frequent.

yes, this is !notnottheonion@lemmy.ml (not !nottheonion@lemmy.ml)

Cameron's first Avatar film wasn't completed until 2009 but it was in development (under that name) in the 90s. Here is an article about it from 1996.

As OP's screenshot notes, Nickelodeon's show was never released with a single-word name because they were aware of Cameron's trademark prior to it being released.

(no love for James Cameron, but) are fans of a Nickelodeon series first released in 2005 really complaining about the existence of other media using the name Avatar? 🤔

Social graph connections can be automatically inferred from location data. This has been done by governments (example) for a long time and is also done by private companies (sorry I can't find a link at the moment).
