I use my great grandfather's bottle opener. It's magnetic and sticks to my fridge, and it's over 100 years old. Works great!

But it does highlight that any random brute could put on a mask and do this with no authorization whatsoever. It's a fundamental human-rights and rule-of-law breakdown to fail to present a warrant. I agree that a warrant doesn't ethically make the arrests anything short of monstrous, though. That kind of legalist can suck eggs.

Thank goodness that last pic is edited, the bird didn't fall did it? (not ironic, I got worried about the bird and want a happy ending here)

I'm deleting Palantir, I think. I want Peter Thiel and his toxic ideology gone, and deleting Palantir's data and software would meaningfully set back the timeline of unlawful surveillance of the American public by our current administration.

I think most people on Lemmy qualify for Jaded Outcast by default.

I feel like he got enough for it to be a huge bombshell report.

Just putting a reasonably-up-to-date real-world value estimate next to any price in parentheses would be a big step forward though.

The mathmeticians already escaped to ArXiv. It's open.

Subjectively, Lemmy's communities are much more robust and have a lot more content than they did during the Reddit API exodus. I imagine there will be more people who choose to stay this time around.

While malicious compliance is definitely the optimal strategy, undermining the "legitimacy" of DOGE is also a decent strategy to take. It's great news that Elon's recent email gambit was (generally) a failure and he's now trying to pretend it was just a joke. If a few more of their objectives fail in a suitably humiliating way, more agencies will be empowered to laugh them off. And I'd say having your own staff resign is humiliating enough.

Not a pipe either 🤔
