Pretty much. Musk is far from a free speech absolutist as he proclaimed himself to be. I would go further and say he’s substantially worse, unpredictable and inconsistent in free speech matters.
Old Twitter would hardly be a true paragon of free expression, but they were at least relatively transparent. Good luck getting any answers from new Xitter or any consistency.
Yeah, it being Lauren Southern is more notable than a former candidate as a Langley MP.
I’m assuming this is related to those two Russians with RTv recently indicted funneling something like 9.7 million USD through presumably Tenet Media, where Lauren is a… media personality? Influencer? Pundit? Host? Streamer? Cam girl?
The standard I recall being established back in the nineties as to whether strong encryption was even legal in the US was “substantial non-infringing use” or similar. It’s been awhile.
The problem with key-escrow or anything similar is that any proscribed circumvention is also available to the “bad guys”.
I think Telegram’s stance would be that they can’t moderate because of strong end-to-end encryption. Back in the day the parallel would have been made to the phone system or mail.
Of course this is all happening in France, so I have no idea what the combination of French and EU laws will have on this, but I would still broadly expect that if a parallel can be made to mail or phone, Telegram would be in the clear. The phone company and mail service have no expectation of content moderation.
I guess we’ll see.
VAX/VMS was still around then, and as far as I recall, that was the king for uptime.
Linux back then supported much less hardware. I can remember even in the early aughts, there was while families of popular wireless network chipsets that weren’t supported.
Pretty much exactly what happened to me. Mostly open source apps on Windows. Set up dual boot with Windows default. One day I noticed I was switching to Linux more often than not, so changed to Linux default.
I watched the final, it was impressive, but I have no technical knowledge about what was happening.
I remember in the 3rd round, Dany Dan made a mistake, the announcers commented on it, and I had no idea what the mistake was.
If you can get one of those cassette adapters, you can test the tape deck of interest first.
Technology Connections on YouTube had an episode on those tape adapters, but I can’t remember the reason why she some tape decks don’t work with those cassette adapters.
So far I’ve only had that one tape deck not work.
Love mine, but the newer version that my wife has is just a little bit better all around. Plus the extras it comes with are a pure nostalgia hit.
Yes… in the cassette players that work with those adapters. Annoyingly, the old stereo we have set up at work in one shop doesn’t work with those casette adapters or the Mixxtape.
Also, if you use it in a tape deck, it doesn’t use the spools as inputs. You just set it playing and pop it in. Similar to my old Digisette Duo Aria.
I will admit, I have rarely used the tape deck function, but it has been useful on occasion.
I use the Kickstarter version of the Mixxtape. My wife uses the newer version, which offers some improvements.
It’s fantastically retro, but you will need to use a micro-SD.
I’d have to agree. An official Mastodon instance for announcements, and then just echo posts wherever desired.
Could go further, have public libraries get funding to run public instances or similar, but I think you are already seeing non-profits and maybe some co-ops formed to run Fediverse instances, so the need is less.
Some controllers are almost integral to the experience. Intellivision and Colecovision come to mind. Having said that, emulation and modern controls are generally great, and generally my preference.
Similar. Had a Colecovision when I was a kid, followed by a second hand Commodore Vic-20. Hands down the Colecovision had better graphics, but all you could do is play the games you bought or shared. Next was a Tandy 1000 TX, and I don’t think I ever looked back.
I did have an original Gameboy, that I bought with my own money, and that was pretty cool, but still it was simply a matter of playing the games they sold you. In the shareware scene of the 90’s, even the Gameboy was horrendously limiting.
For me it’s never been a performance issue. Most of the time I’ve been using old PCs, and the latest console would technically be more powerful (back to Colecovision vs. Commodore Vic 20). It was a matter of flexibility and variety.
I like the old yearbook photo and yearbook write-up. Cute! Good thing I’ll never ascend to high office, since I never submitted a write-up for my year book. Boring!
Considering that her HS yearbook write-up mentions “California” first among “Cher Mem” (cherished memories presumably) and that Kamala grew up in California before Montreal, and returned to California after Montreal, I would expect her attachment to Montreal and Canada is little more than (hopefully) some fond memories.
But do you have stale doughnuts?¹
¹ Tim Horton’s spells it donuts as well now anyways. Canada is a failed state.
I’ve got a 15 year old SD/USB combo card on my keychain. I plugged it into a TV around 6-7 years ago because there were a couple of kids movies on there.
I also know I have some Portable apps on there, but probably a little out of date
Howdy neighbour! You are absolutely correct, there are several different Co-ops all using the same logos and such. There has also been some consolidation. Peninsula Co-op merged with the Comox Valley Co-op and North-Island Co-op. There used to be more co-ops.
Although the US/Aus deal scuppered a Aus/France deal for subs IIRC.
The police also knocked and only entered after he answered it sounded like. While certainly armed and probably prepared for something wild, they didn’t force entry with guns at the ready.
Once again, mostly comparing to videos of US police interactions, which is kind of weird as a non-USian commenting on a German police interrogation. Would be curious to see an “audit the audit” type review of this.
