Magicka and Magicka 2 were so much fun when I had roommates. It's not nearly as fun when the other players are not sitting on the couch next to you. Plus, my friends these days don't enjoy randomly blowing up from a spell gone awry, which, you know, is the funniest part.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess while skimming the article I mistook that distinction.
Certainly doesn't change that we are cooked, but I guess it helps to think that the States aren't completely craven during this dark age.
So NYC's judiciary says corruption is OK if you help to extra-judicially ship people off to concentration camps?
This country is garbage. It's done. The pillars have collapsed.
Signal is not a suitable venue for hosting national security discussions. It's all laid out in the article that it goes beyond encryption.
Information about an active operation would presumably fit the law’s definition of “national defense” information. The Signal app is not approved by the government for sharing classified information. The government has its own systems for that purpose. If officials want to discuss military activity, they should go into a specially designed space known as a sensitive compartmented information facility, or SCIF—most Cabinet-level national-security officials have one installed in their home—or communicate only on approved government equipment, the lawyers said. Normally, cellphones are not permitted inside a SCIF, which suggests that as these officials were sharing information about an active military operation, they could have been moving around in public. Had they lost their phones, or had they been stolen, the potential risk to national security would have been severe.
The tldr is that the endpoint is insecure. These discussions should not be done on a mobile device, it should not be possible to participate in or view the contents of the discussion out in the open, and it should not even be possible to accidentally invite 3rd parties that were not cleared.
This article goes further in displaying that participants are not adhering to data retention standards, either, to no surprise.
It's a fascinating article, and really is a revealing example of how profoundly inept this regime truly is.
If you're not afraid to be wrong you could choose to believe in anything. There is not a world that exists where microprocessor manufacturing grows in the US without incentives like the CHIPS Act. Especially not when those incentives can be recinded on the whims of whatever lunatic those wacky Americans choose to elect.
not a fan of Trump
But you choose to carry water for him.
That's funny, I heard from my cousin that Fox News was saying that the White House claimed that tariffs and trade wars were to push companies to restore American manufacturing. But if that were true, why would they want to kill incentives aimed to spark renewed American manufacturing?

After promising to bring down egg prices, this asshole's actions have made grocery bills worse, and his supporters want you to believe he had nothing to do with it. It was an act of God, not some monster wearing human skin hamstringing federal agencies that could mitigate disease or natural disasters.
Just going by that thumbnail, he could be jerking off two masters.
And i wonder what happened in 2024 that drove people away from that service. For me, what I think of, is that time they refused to take responsibility for someone that died as a result of lies and negligence at a restaurant on their property, referred to an arbitration clause buried in the terms of service in an unrelated product only agreed to as part of a long-expired product trial.
All of that would have convinced me to cancel service.
Also, interesting timing, just this morning I received an email from Disney doubling down on arbitration, while also announcing an increase in ad presence for their "ad free" service tiers. I have never been subscribed to Disney+, though, and I can be sure I never will with that trajectory. I'm glad they can remind me constantly to never agree to use their services.
TIL that Germans that resisted the Nazi Party in WW2 were "useful idiots."
I found this somewhat recently. It is basically a list of job boards. You can give it a job title and it will perform a search for that position in the chosen job board posted in the last 24 hours.

There's still LinkedIn, which could allow you to connect with the job poster to follow up after applying, which could be good.
