  • That’s the trick of the right wing propoganda machine. These people don’t think k they’re ignorant, they honestly believe they’re enlightened and ordained as superior. They think they’re the chosen people.

    Ironically, they love to bash Jews, too.

  • It’s not that simple. The user has to hold the key. And with cloud you want it to all be accessible from all of a users devices. And with a public service you can’t count on the user to be savvy enough to use their certificates.

    Of course the fix to that is that the key is stored in the account.

    But then Google has the key and can decrypt it.

    So then the key itself has to be encrypted. And with what? The users weak ass-password?

    All encryption has to begin with something that’s known, and the weaker that initial secret, the weaker the entire system below it.

  • “This morning, we were informed by authorities that the Baphomet statue in our holiday display was destroyed beyond repair. We are proud to continue our holiday display for the next few days that we have been allotted.

    Interesting choice and use of the words “informed” and “proud”. Really makes it sound like whoever said this sees it as a net-positive.

  • Get a phone case with a dust cover or really clean the hell out of that port.

    I was honestly surprised with how aggressive I have to be to scrape out packed lint. Using a toothpick I shaved to be a little fatter.

    Now I take my vacuum (Miele) with the dust brush, on high, and go to town on the bottom of my phones like once a week.

  • Specifically the black plague, no. But you also don’t get cities to the scale of European ones without agriculture. Especially back then. Globalism and processed foods have made a vegetarian/vegan diet sustainable year round for practically anyone. That was also very difficult in a lot of places for a lot of history.

  • Just let me pay for PBS kids without going through Amazon please. I’m a goddamn sustainer ffs. I want my kids binge watching Reading Rainbow. For my kids. Just them. Not because Levar Burton is dreamy. No. Just for the kids. Trust me. If I needed a Levar Burton fix I’d just listen to Levar Burton Reads podcast. His voice is enough for me.

  • Animal agriculture continues to this day to be one of the largest breeders of disease (see practically any E. Coli or salmonella recall in leafey greens — almost always due to animal runoff).

    The old world lucked out in having a good number of dumb docile animals to domesticate, so it went hardcore on animal agriculture. As such they got exposed to a lot of disease.

    The new world, not so much. We got some big game, but most of it was not something easy to domesticate. Either too aggressive, too hard to contain, or both. So they didn’t get the animal agriculture or the generations of fighting various disease that go along with it.

  • It’s not really about the cost of the jack, moreso about the aesthetic and the ability for water to get in, because the 3.5mm barrel jack was never really intended to be on something you’d worry about getting wet. At least not at a time when waterproof ratings were a thing.

    You’re talking 163mm^3 of void space inside the phone just for the barrel plug itself, plus the enclosure around it, spring load mechanisms, and housing to sit on the board. A board that also has to change position or shape to accommodate the deep round plug where it can’t exist.

    Honestly I’m really surprised phones moved to 3.5mm and didn’t try to team up with laptops to keep 2.5mm the norm on those platforms, or some other plug. Had they stuck with it it probably would’ve won and also made its way to game controllers.

    But there’s really no need to when Bluetooth exists and is good enough for the vast majority of consumers, and that’s all that really matters.

  • Imagine a career politician rising to the office of president (and 8 years as veep) while being so squeaky clean you have to attack his kids.

    Honestly that’s the craziest thing to me about it. Last president, we didn’t have to look too hard to find dirt on him. Half the time it came out of his own damn mouth and on tape.

    Biden has plenty of faults, don’t get me wrong, but it’s pretty telling to me that he’s been in the game this long and they’ve got nothing bad enough so they gotta go after Hunter. And I don’t see how you whole thing gets seen any other way.

  • You shouldn't exist if you have to build your fucking country on the mass graves of the native people, and then you are so deep in this shit you have to develop tech to be able to apartheid them all behind walls and systems and bullets, starving and dying. No, an entity like that should not deserve to exist.

    Just for curiosity, are you American?

    Because you literally just described America.

  • Typical stereo headphones have 3 pins. Left, right, common ground. Tip, ring, and sleeve (not sure if the conductor order).

    4-conductors used to be common for portable camcorders and early digital cameras. They’d put our composite a/v (extra conductor for video/yellow, still a shared ground). Tip, R1, R2, sleeve.

    I’ve seen USB 2.0 (or perhaps 1.x) done over a 4-pin 3.5. And I’ve seen RS232 over 3.5 a number of times too (used to be common in ham radio in the 90s/early naughts).

  • Just get a new car pleb.

    Honestly Bluetooth in a car has been a must for me for like 10 years now. And having experienced CarPlay, that’s def next (especially for cars that support wireless and have a Qi spot. Thats practically magic)
