I think there really needs to be a “long term” of some kind. I definitely have files and templates I only use once a year.

Letting them pass. If it’s a 4 lane highway get in the right lane and drive a speed different from the car next to you.

So, slow down? If it’s a multilane road they’re going to overtake. And I think it’s disingenuous to assume they’re choosing to go under the speed limit in the fast/over taking lane.

Based on context its far more likely this is happening on a single lane road, which, generally speaking, you’re more likely to drive near the speed limit on anyway. And I’d rather someone tailgate me at a low speed than a high speed, if they’re going to tailgate either way.

let them get away from you if you value safety.

And I do that by… Speeding up?

If someone is driving recklessly or tailgating they’re the ones creating the problem, not the person choosing to respond by slowing down slightly. Driving 2 mph under the speed limit isn’t exactly grinding traffic to a halt. If someone is driving dangerously around me I’d rather force them to slow down if it makes things a bit safer.

what happened at Kent state? Or the move firebombings

I’ll explain both of these significant and tragic events in American history.

Kent State Shooting (May 4, 1970)

The Kent State shooting, also known as the May 4 Massacre, occurred when the Ohio National Guard opened fire on unarmed college students at Kent State University during a protest against the Vietnam War. Key points:

• 4 students were killed: Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer, and William Schroeder
• 9 others were wounded
• The students were protesting the U.S. invasion of Cambodia and military presence on campus
• The National Guard fired 67 rounds over 13 seconds
• The event sparked nationwide protests and became a defining moment of the anti-war movement
• It inspired the famous song “Ohio” by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

MOVE Bombing (May 13, 1985)

The MOVE bombing was a devastating incident in Philadelphia where police dropped a bomb on the headquarters of MOVE, a Black liberation group. Key details:

• Philadelphia police dropped a C-4 explosive on the MOVE compound on Osage Avenue
• The bombing killed 11 people, including 5 children
• The fire destroyed 61 homes in the predominantly Black neighborhood
• MOVE was a radical group that advocated for environmental and animal rights
• The city’s decision to bomb its own citizens was unprecedented
• No city officials were criminally charged for the incident
• In 2021, it was revealed that the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton had been storing remains of some victims without family consent
• The city of Philadelphia formally apologized in 2020

Both events represent significant examples of state violence against civilians in American history and continue to influence discussions about civil rights, police power, and government accountability.

The Kent State shooting and the MOVE firebombing are two significant, tragic events in American history, each occurring under very different circumstances.

Kent State Shooting (1970)

The Kent State shooting took place on May 4, 1970, at Kent State University in Ohio, during a period of intense anti-Vietnam War protests across the United States. The protest at Kent State was sparked by President Richard Nixon’s announcement of the Cambodian Campaign, which escalated the war in Southeast Asia. Thousands of students gathered to protest the war, and the situation became tense.

On May 4, the Ohio National Guard was called in to control the protests. After a day of escalating tension, the guardsmen, who were ill-trained and overwhelmed, opened fire on the students. Four students were killed, and nine others were injured. The incident led to national outrage and further intensified anti-war protests, symbolising the growing divide between young Americans and their government over the war.

MOVE Firebombing (1985)

The MOVE firebombing occurred on May 13, 1985, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. MOVE was a radical, back-to-nature, Black liberation group that lived in a communal environment. The group was known for its controversial, confrontational tactics, especially its leader, John Africa. MOVE’s members lived in a row house at 6221 Osage Avenue, and tensions had been rising between the group and the city government due to complaints about their noise and lifestyle.

In 1985, after a prolonged standoff with the police, the Philadelphia Police Department, under orders from Mayor Wilson Goode, decided to forcibly evict the group. In the course of the operation, a police helicopter dropped a bomb on the roof of the MOVE house, leading to a fire. The fire quickly spread, and the police allowed the house to burn down, resulting in the deaths of 11 people (including five children), and the destruction of an entire city block. The event was highly controversial, with accusations that the police had overstepped their authority and violated the rights of the MOVE members.

Both events highlight significant moments in American history, marked by government overreach, public outcry, and questions surrounding the use of force in response to civil unrest.

I’m not going to say piracy is right or wrong.

What I will say is if everyone had access to that replicator, and everyone replicated everything in the store and left, the store would close down, and the products would stop being made.

Likewise, piracy is only viable because not everyone does it. If literally every person pirated the games or movies of any given company, that company would no longer be profitable and would close down.

Piracy is getting something for free because other people pay for it.

I buy it for the camera, best Android camera imo.

But is that because it’s difficult or because it’s in phones people don’t care about.

I agree, but in this specific case you logically would have started in the centre of the spiral in the overhead view which would equate to downward movement in the side view.

But they definitely chose this because inverting it would absolutely be more associated with a downward spiral. And this kind of looks like a nice tree.

He wasn’t a billionaire. Not even close.

Just curious what’s your setup?

I just stopped fighting it and bought a cheap usb c adapter. The only time I want to use earphones is when I’m out anyway.

I’ve been liking searxng. It aggregates results from search engines you select and returns the results without being tracked by them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SearXNG

SearXNG is a free and open-source federated metasearch engine forked from Searx. SearXNG supports over 70 different search engines. Similar to Searx, it does not collect information about users.

3rd result using these settings on searxng.

Yeah it’s pretty nice, basically every convenience of paid streaming services for free and every movie and TV show in one place.

If you use it I highly recommend the torrentio add on https://torrentio.strem.fun/configure

I stream torrents using stremio.

At the expense of having to either hope devs do it or only use extensions that give the source, having to do it for every extension individually, having to redo it every time you want to add or remove a URL, no longer getting automatic updates, and having to redo it every time you want to update.

I get the sentiment but it’s not worth the hassle, especially when it would be trivial to have this as a browser feature that would solve all of those problems.

I use PIA, cheap and they’ve been involved in at least 2 court cases where their no logging policies were proven.

That is supposedly the case in Australia as well but I haven’t got a letter from telstra since around 2004 and I have never used a VPN and watch all my shows and movies via torrents so either I’m extremely lucky or they stopped bothering.

Though recently I started paying the $4 / month for Real Debrid for better streaming performance, which is just as good as a VPN for torrent anonymity. I used to be fundamentally against the idea of paying anything to pirate but honestly this is worth it, I’ve even been able to watch a few shows that had 0 seeders because they were previously cached.
