Byron Bay is to be stripped of its nudist beach – and naturists blame ‘conservative creep’
  • I wish I could find a video--this scene is on the DVD version--but it's definitely ecchi (lighthearted sexual humor). It's pretty obvious in the dialog. Basically, one of the boys remarks how the older teenage girl has boobs and the younger girl doesn't.

  • Loss of Supreme Court legitimacy can lead to political violence
  • Just to pick out one thing, Iraq was very deliberately setup by the Bush Administration. They put specific effort into falsifying evidence to support an invasion. There's no particular reason to believe Iraq would have been invaded by Gore.

    A major issue in the run up to 9/11 was a coordination failure due to a delayed Administration transition. It's hard to say for sure, but it's quite possible 9/11 doesn't even happen if it's a direct transition between Clinton and Gore.

    Oh, and we'd probably be in the ICC. The treaty was finalized towards the end of Clinton's run, he was in favor of it, but he left it to the next Admin to decide what to do with it. Bush Admin canned it.

  • 'Critical' vulnerability in OpenSSH uncovered, affects almost all Linux systems
  • When you log in to an ssh terminal for a shell, it has to launch the shell process as the desired user. Needs to be root to do that.

    SSH has been around a long time. It's not perfect, but it's mostly validated. Anything new won't have that history.

  • Vance says presidents must have immunity, though possibly not Biden
  • I'll wait for a good legal breakdown to come to firm conclusions, but it sounds like SCOTUS found a way to make a ruling that drags Trump's trials out even more. They have to separate the acts that have immunity from the ones that don't.

  • the futrule if it didn't suck
  • They exist, but they're crude. Indoor farms tend to be labor intensive, meaning they have a lot of incentive to automate, but nobody has a really good system yet.

    Knowing when a tomato is ripe and how to pick it off the plant is one of the better uses for AI image recognition and robotics, IMO.

  • Isn't it kinda weird that third parties only make an effort every 4 years?
  • Right; ranked choice seems to have a lot of momentum behind it. There are a lot of other possibilities with pros and cons. I don't think it's worth bickering too much about what makes the best one. I do know first past the post needs to go. If ranked choice is being pushed, I'll go with it.

  • Isn't it kinda weird that third parties only make an effort every 4 years?
  • In following elections, the Reform party would go on to nominate Pat Buchanan and Ralph Nader as Presidential candidates. It also ran Jesse Ventura for governor, and even Trump had a brief turn in there.

    Not so much withering on the vine as being completely incoherent.

    (If you don't know about Pat Buchanan, since he's been out of the limelight for a while, he was basically all the worst impulses of racist GOP voters back in the 90s. Exactly the kind of people Trump uses as his base now.)

  • Link broken in app

    Not 100% sure if this is a Summit issue or something in Lemmy more generally. Here's the post in question:

    https://midwest.social/post/10123989

    The link to the blog works on my instance for the desktop. Several other users were reporting the link being broken, and it does break for me on Summit, as well.

    When I hit the link on Summit, the requests on the server are GET /api/v3/post?id=2024 and GET /api/v3/comment/list?max_depth=6&post_id=2024&sort=Top&type_=All. It looks like it parsed out the "2024" from the original link and tried to use that in a Lemmy API call.

    Post link sometimes goes to the wrong place

    Here's the post in question: https://midwest.social/post/10123989

    Which linked to my blog here: https://wumpus-cave.net/post/2024/03/2024-03-20-moores-law-is-dead/index.html

    On my instance (midwest.social), this works fine. However, some other users were reporting a broken link, and I also see a broken link when using my mobile app (Summit). When it breaks, I see these calls in the server logs:

    • GET /api/v3/post?id=2024
    • GET /api/v3/comment/list?max_depth=6&post_id=2024&sort=Top&type_=All

    Which appear to be Lemmy API calls with some of the actual link data built in.
