@Ed Davies Oh yeah, they do that too, regularly.
"Someone clicked like on nasty Sarah's post. SEND THEM TO PRISON FOR A THOUSAND YEARS"
Like, how little self awareness do you have to have?
Sadly, the Lib Dems are increasingly not telling them to fuck off. Apparently if this is all you do all day, every day, eventually you get your way because people get exhausted trying to ignore you.
Hearing some news on the grapevine that pubic lice would stop sucking blood if only their victims weren’t so mean to them.
Also, coincidentally, transphobes are very new to the whole, “taking responsibility for your own actions” thing.

Bottom line, anyone who protested as a student knows you simply don't have the education and sophistication to really understand the complexities of the Middle East.
In contrast, I look forward to the predominantly male Supreme Court ruling on women's bodies.

So I've got a VCR that I can control over serial. If I got a second one, I could stick tapes into them and cross-wire them so that each plays into the other.
I could then set up a program to record from tape 1 onto tape 2, then back from tape 2 to tape 1.
Attach a capture device and I can get video files of each generation.
Then we just watch the generational loss compound.

As you likely know, Brexit import checks start in earnest on Tuesday... but at facilities which are (mostly) inland; in the case of Dover 22 miles inland....
Now, of course most shippers can be trusted to drive those 22 miles for a check, and then either 'enter' the UK or drive 22 miles back with their refused shipment....
Hmmmm.... so that 44 miles of driving when, for the less scrupulous, a little bit of clandestine unloading could take place... this is a system built to be circumvented!

The exception, and it's a major one, is Sevington, which is 22 miles inland from Dover, our busiest port.
FWIW it wouldn't need a roundtrip, as Sevington is near Ashford, Kent, just off the M20.
I suppose they could use ANR to track the lorries going to Sevington, and pick up any doing illicit diversions, but I don't think they are.
But as it is, no one, apart from our Govt, thinks this is a good idea.

The placard of Trudi Warner
Why the government sought to criminalise someone for stating a feature of constitutional law—and how it failed

The Trudi Warner #contempt case brings to mind a significant so-called 'perverse' verdict from 1991.
Michael #Randle and Patrick #Pottle were charged with helping a spy escape from prison in 1963.
The judge told the jury the defendants had no defence. The jury knew they were guilty - the pair admitted it in a book - and yet the jury unanimously found them not guilty.

"The hearing was entirely conducted remotely by Zoom" says this judgment*. I wonder in some future era this will make as much sense as discussion of stannary courts or writing things down on vellum.

It could just be that those people do not understand and could use some guidance instead of being categorized into a hateful group that are against trans.
I stopped asking questions about trans people after being totally put down, made fun of and categorized because I just didnt know something and evidently was stupid enough to ask.
Im an ally to humanity. I am good with ANYTHING you want to be. I do not care. But I do not publicly support or ask questions because every time I do Im treated like shit.
So there is that side of the coin too.
Now I fully expect everyone to come yelling at me for posting my cishet feelings, since my feelings no longer matter since I seem to be unfortunately average.
Publication on the wonderful EULawAnalysis blog, together with @Frederik_Borgesius: a short analysis of the Podchasov v. Russia case of the ECHR.
This is an important case for the role of encryption for the protection of privacy (Article 8).
For our analysis and some short comments, see the blog post: eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/202…
Thanks for publishing @StevePeers!

🤢Oh geez. Sorry for TMI, but Meiselas is reporting this:
Meiselas: What I’m hearing from credible sources is that Donald #Trump is actually farting in the courtroom… I’m hearing it from actual credible people that as he’s kind of falling asleep, he’s actually passing gas and that his lawyers are really struggling with the smell. #TrumpTrial

Incredible research at BlackHat Asia today by Tong Liu and team from the Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences (在iie.ac.cn 的电子邮件经过验证)
A dozen+ RCEs on popular LLM framework libraries like LangChain and LlamaIndex - used in lots of chat-assisted apps including GitHub. These guys got a reverse shell in two prompts, and even managed to exploit SetUID for full root on the underlying VM!

We've released #PuTTY version 0.81. This is a SECURITY UPDATE, fixing a #vulnerability in ECDSA signing for #SSH.
If you've used a 521-bit ECDSA key (ecdsa-sha2-nistp521) with any previous version of PuTTY, consider it compromised! Generate a new key pair, and remove the old public key from authorized_keys files.
Other key types are not affected, even other sizes of ECDSA. In particular, Ed25519 is fine.
This vulnerability has id CVE-2024-31497. Full information is at chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtath…

WHERE THE WEB IS GOING: The convergence of LLMs and web advertising will lead to "ads" consisting of several hundred gigabytes of javascript containing a (weighted) neural network designed to generate unique per-user video advertisements—generated on your computer at your expense to ensure the imagery is unique and evades AI-based ad-blockers.
"AI spam" is an entire AI, squatting on your CPU and making it glow dull red as it works out how to capture your attention.
Welcome to the spamularity.

Famous American murderer from the telly, O J Simpson, has been in the news recently for dying. Here are some lesser known facts about him:
O J was known by his fans as "The Juice". This is because his full name was Orangejuice Jorangejuice Simpson.
King Edward VIII of England was forced to resign because he wanted to marry him.
In addition to being good at rugby and murder, O J was also the first man on mars.
He was acquitted after his lawyer, who was one of the Cardasians from Star Trek, convinced the jury that there were five lights.

Also instructor: “I’ll be five minutes”
"If you're under 25 your brain isn't fully developed, so you can't be trusted to make informed decisions"
I'm seeing this a LOT lately, especially today with the Cass Review fallout. And it's utter guff, based on hearsay, misunderstandings of neuroscience, or wilful ignorance.
Why? I'll tell you why

Once you're over 45 your brain's completely calcified.
It's basically just a lump of granite that replays songs from your teenage years while you still think of technology in terms of the poorly-scripted Sci-Fi TV you still own on DVD.
Definitely can't be trusted to vote on any new issues (i.e. 'any issues at all') once you lose all ability to develop beyond the thinking of the previous century.
