When did they break Tor? Are you sure they didn't just exploit vulnerabilities on an onion site that was hosted on Tor or something?

I do too, clearly as does Linus. He's just talking about some of the issues that prevent it from getting adopted by the normies.

I believe the difference between Israel and other thermonuclear states

Israel is not a thermonuclear state, unless I missed something very very big.

It seems pretty obvious that the western powers have yet to intervene in any meaningful way.

To me, too, I just don't think that OP's explanation is why.

My preference is that Israel's leadership grows a conscience and stops trying to bomb their neighbors into peace. However, in the absence of this, western powers should intervene. Whether it's through sanctions, embargoes, or other political red lines, steps should be taken

Completely agreed. Didn't OP say that this might result in widespread nuclear annihilation, though? That's part of why I disagree with OP on the thesis of this post.

It seems like we're kind of going in circles. The individual elements of what you're saying generally make quite a lot of sense to me and I agree, I'm just having trouble connecting it to what OP seems like they're saying. Since they don't seem really inclined to come in here and defend what they were on about, IDK how productive it is for you and me to talk about it.

A government lawyer conceded in court that those detained by ICE at the facility did not have access to certain services, including sleeping mats, in-person legal visits, medication and more than two meals per day.

The fuck

"Services"?

Why not just replace it with a cap that isn't a flip-top? Screw it on tight, squeeze the bottle slightly before putting the cap on so there's a slight negative pressure. That would be my first thing to try.

What makes the Samson option different is that Israeli leaders have expressed the intent to take out the entire world if Israel was ever facing total annihilation.

I think that's true, functionally speaking, of basically any thermonuclear-armed state.

I don't believe the OP is at all claiming that if anyone tried to enact sanctions, arms embargoes, ICC warrants against Israel, or otherwise interfere with the genocide, Israel would immediately *nuke the world. It specifically claims Israel would respond in this way "if cornered". In this context, I interpret "cornered" as in backed into a corner with no way out, by an aggressive party who seeks Israels destruction.

Read the second paragraph again. OP is claiming that Western leaders are not sanctioning Israel in the fairly mild ways described because they're afraid of nuclear war.

I do think that without Western military assistance (and more to the point deterrence), Israel with its current course of conduct might be destroyed by its neighbors. But that and "stay the course" aren't the only two options. I actually think that it would be way safer, in terms of global nuclear security, if Western countries forcibly stopped the genocide Israel is conducting. As it is, that scenario where Israel is getting overrun by regional enemies and throwing nukes (at them or at other targets) sounds not too unlikely as years go by and things change, with everyone remembering what they did. And so I interpreted OP as saying that if someone tried for the enforced peace agreement, or the war crimes trials, nukes.

I do think that fear of Israel getting overrun is the source of some of that unwavering military and deterrence assistance that keeps them alive and safe to do whatever they want. I don't think it is what is stopping Western leaders from punishing Israel for their current genocide. I think they just don't want to (or don't have the political will embedded in their systems that it would take to get it done), honestly.

So the bottle doesn't break, it just pops open? This still sounds like a packaging issue. Maybe unstopper / squeeze / stopper the bottle, so it's got negative pressure. Maybe replace the cap with some other more permanent type of cap (one that doesn't have a little flip-top, if the ones they're including do, just a solid cap and then ship the flip-top one alongside it)? IDK. How is it coming apart in transit? It's not literally the plastic bottle breaking, is it?

This has got to be the packing, not the bottle. I have never heard of a bottle being shipped that suddenly broke on its own, without impact with its environment being the issue.

Coming soon to a United States near you

Fucking Jesus Christ, if someone is buying government email addresses on the dark web and then using a VPN to protect themselves against getting busted, they deserve what they get. Either use Tor or relay it through some compromised machine somewhere, or both. Or something. I don't really know how it works but definitely don't use a consumer VPN.

I mean it might be fine in the modern day, since anything in US law enforcement that might be subpeonaing the VPN company might no longer be functioning. But I still wouldn't really take the chance.

I think most nuclear-armed states would use their nuclear weapons if someone was trying to destroy them completely. That's very different from claiming that if anyone tried to enact sanctions, arms embargoes, ICC warrants against Israel, or otherwise interfere with the genocide, Israel will nuke the world.

Because it matters quite a bit for what sort of damage a person will do, what their overall character and their motivations are. Stalin is different from Hitler is different from Tito is different from Andrew Jackson is different from the kid from "It's a Good Life." Trump's a little bit unprecedented in terms of how incapable he is on a personal level as contrasted with the almost unimaginable power he wields. It's relevant for talking about what sort of damage he will do and what options people have in terms of resisting it.

It seems like this is one of those internet arguments where I'm agreeing with you, and then trying to add something else the scope of which is a little different from the thing you're saying, and then you're saying "NO YOU DON'T GET IT repeating the original point I agreed with" for multiple messages. Like the only template you can understand is if someone's response is "Oh yes you are correct and I have nothing to add."

Good luck with future conversations, I feel like you must be fun at parties.

We are witnessing the natural end stage of the corporate internet.

We gifted this place to the world at large, because it was a nice place for us, and we hoped it would be useful and we liked to build it. The wider world made the mistake of thinking they owned it now, and could tell us what to do with it and what it was for. But the original gift still exists. The enfuckened version that people tried to "improve" it into is just shedding and crumbling, as a reptile's skin falls away still in the shape of the original living thing.

I don't actually really know the full answer to that. If I had to guess, I would say that there generally need to be pretty distinct objective lines for when something becomes a crime (you can't have like a weight limit or something to where "throwing a sandwich" isn't a crime but then transitions to a crime as the object gets more and more hazardous up to where throwing a rock is a crime.) I think it is generally that it winds up being a sensible system just because simple battery just really isn't all that serious a charge. You can get convicted, in theory, just because you swatted someone's arm away, or threw a cup of water at them, or whatever, and it really just won't impact you all that much. (But then, if it's a rock or if you injure the person, or something like that, then it's a different and more serious charge than simple battery.)

Again, the trouble comes in when you're dealing with the cops and do one of those "simple battery" things and all of a sudden it comes with life-changing consequences.

Well... that sure shows this whole event in a different light.

scrambles to pretend it's a surprise or that anyone's at all confused about why he was at Jan. 6 and is now working for the White House

As far as I know, it's basically "throwing anything at anyone in an unwanted / offensive manner" in pretty much every jurisdiction. It's normally not a big deal that it's so broad, because it's a misdemeanor, and the cops / prosecutor / jury will exercise a certain amount of common sense about whether or not it's a big deal that you threw a balled up business card at someone or something. But, as soon as you're throwing something at a cop, it becomes a very different situation...

Yeah. I'm just talking about his character on a personal level, not about the danger he represents on a factual level. Other people who have much stronger character set up solid systems which are terrifyingly effective, and now this brain damaged child is in charge of a lot of them. It's not a good situation.

Here's the pinout for the webcam component: https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/Framework-Laptop-13/tree/main/Webcam

Unfortunately it isn't really clear whether the switch positions are in the pinout because it's the mainboard's job to implement shutting off the camera when it's off, or just as information with the webcam module responsible for shutting it off in hardware. I have no idea which it is, but it wouldn't be super-hard for someone capable with EE to take off the bezel and fool around with it and see which it is (or just pay $19 for the magic of buying two of them, if you didn't want to take apart your own laptop for it.)

They say they provide full schematics on demand to repair shops (https://knowledgebase.frame.work/availability-of-schematics-and-boardviews-BJMZ6EAu). I'm not sure why they don't want to just post them publicly, so in that sense you might be right, but they also don't seem like they are trying to keep them or the interface details of the webcam module fully top secret either.

They do seem like they publish enough information that someone could figure out the answer if they wanted to. (People in the forums have fooled around with them and seem to be convinced that they are actually hardware switches: https://community.frame.work/t/how-do-the-camera-and-microphone-switches-work/4271 IDK whether that's accurate, but that's what the forum people think.)

No idea why you're trying to lecture me from this position of authority about taking apart PCBs and whatnot. Anyway, that's how it works, hope this is helpful for you.

Not in exchange for peace, in exchange for a vague promise of peace in the future which won't be kept. I get why Trump can't see that, but it is weird for it to get reported on as if it was not a transparent scam perpetrated on one of the dumbest people in the world.
