  • This is such a bad take it seems like deliberate misinformation.

    Signal is open-source software maintained by a non-profit. User data is not stored on Signal servers, they have no way to access messages as they are stored and encrypted on your phone. If the Signal Foundation were revealed as bad actors then the open-source code could be forked to a new project.

    Feel free to fully evaluate their code here: https://github.com/signalapp

  • I usually save the frothing for people who I can tell are really interested, but don't want to join up for some absurd reason. I don't know why they would lie about their feelings like that, but a bit of shouting and frothing in a corner really gets them agreeable fast. Great technique!

    C5S3 Battle Pass

    The new battle pass is out and I am probably not gonna pay for this one, despite my Fallout love. The last one was too hard to level up to 200, and I'm not really interested in any of the skins this season. Power armor without...armor...is just kinda dumb. The other skins are boring, and even the Magneto seems like a lame cash grab. I'm just not that interested.

  • Bandwidth has literally never been a problem on any tracker. BitTorrent made bandwidth concerns obsolete over 20 years ago, as long as files are well-seeded.

    You will have to pay your dues like everybody else.

  • These had the same body style, but the engine is different than the American-made models of the same years. They have Mitsubishi Astron engines and another diesel model. Also, obviously, left hand drive.

    TIL Mitsubishi made a Jeep CJ until 1998.

    While picking up my daughter from school today, I noticed an old jeep in the parking lot, but did not think much of it until I saw the tri-spoked Mitsubishi logo above the grill and did quite the double-take. Apparently a number of foreign companies were licensed to produce them after WW2.

  • You should also hate Joe Lieberman. He scuttled a public option for the ACA, which likely would have prevented a lot of the shenanigans insurance companies pull, as they would be competed right the fuck out of business with a robust public option. Japan has private and public insurance and costs are generally low for health care. Most kids get it completely free

  • Glad she's finding out, but she can probs fundraise her way out of that in a few hours via the right-wing griftiverse. There's no amount of money that hate-filled right wing grannies won't give to assholes that they think will stick it to the libs.

    Recommendation: Fret Butter

    I used this stuff for the first time on some frets that had gotten quite dull and lightly corroded wherever I don't play often. About 10 minutes of rubbing down with fret butter had them gleaming. It does actually feel like butter, hence a bit gross, but it smells great and worked really well.

    Digital textbook extraction

    I have a digital subscription to a textbook, but it's super annoying to have to use the website to access the book. I'd like to scrape the ebook and dump the contents into a pdf. I have downloaded proprietary pdfs from websites before using downloader browser plugins and predictable urls, but this site is pretty locked down, with randomly generated url tokens and a combination of xml and image data.

    Has anyone managed to scrape a digital textbook like this? Any ideas where I should begin?
