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.

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!
Usually as loudly as possible while wildly gesticulating and showing huge quantities of bloodshot eyeball. Seems effective so far, will continue to report in.

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.
Not even slightly. The fact that it's not possible to get old collab skins is an astonishingly bad business decision. Darth Vader is locked out forever, are you fucking kidding me?
It'll get there! It's a great idea and denizens of the 'verse tend to have a passion for this sort of thing
Yes, you should enjoy it! But it will not get you any invites. Which, incidentally, you should not be asking for in public forums. It's frowned upon. A lot.
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.
This looks really great. It's going to need some dedicated book nerds to fill it with content, but those are probably not hard to find around here. I'm in.
Edit: a lot of dedicated book nerds
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.
The dangly-but-not-dangling bits of the bracelet bangles appear to be attempting to tunnel into his tattoos. Gravity and anatomy: shit AI doesn't understand.
That's Xitter's last dying gasp, for me. I have only accessed it through Nitter for many months now.
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
BUT MAH FREEDOMS!!!
At least the yokels stuck it to the libs before they had all their extra-depraved porn taken away.
There's way too many people who don't share your moral fortitude. The reason why moral people don't do it, though, is because it amplifies and confirms these assholes' fears and prejudices.
Absolutely agree
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.
Rinse, repeat, ad infinitum. Every generation thinks exactly the same way.
Philips Kept Warnings About Dangerous CPAP Machines Secret While Profits Soared.
Tainted CPAP machines and ventilators went to children, the elderly and at least 700,000 veterans despite internal warnings. Company insiders said the devices posed an “unacceptable” risk.

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.

Richard Hanania, Rising Right-Wing Star, Wrote For White Supremacist Sites Under Pseudonym
Hanania is championed by tech moguls and a U.S. senator, but HuffPost found he used a pen name to become an important figure in the “alt-right.”
Right wing tech moguls and a US Senator embraced now unmasked white supremacist. Obviously he's been on Tucker Carlson.
A new report adds to a growing line of research showing that police departments don’t solve serious or violent crimes with any regularity, and in fact, spend very little time on crime control, in contrast to popular narratives.
To the surprise of no one, California cops spend most of their time harassing taxpayers via traffic stops instead of work on solving actual crimes.
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?
