Lockdown Mode limits a wide range of system features and connections, including blocking most message attachments, restricting certain web browsing technologies, limiting FaceTime calls from unknown contacts, preventing device connections unless the device is unlocked, and turning off configuration profiles and device management enrollment.
Twenty-one Republicans—primarily from the fascistic House Freedom Caucus—voted against the bill. The Democrats responded by supplying the exact number of votes needed to offset Republican defections.
Were the Republicans just unwilling to accept the reduced ICE budget, or actually against it?

What are we doing for TWO YEARS? We don’t need to slowly melt ice, we need to crush it now.
“We brought some new people onto the mod team and unfortunately there are some Learning curves,” the moderator wrote, apologizing for the takedown. “I caught the issue and fixed it. Thanks to everyone who let me know that this happened.”
And/or, an example of how teams of people teach each other and grow. Clearly an onerous original decision, but more to the story. Let’s neither hide behind rules nor snarky headlines.
Time spent yesterday having Cascade implement a utility class: 1 minute.
Time spent today slowly coaxing Cascade to fix the tests and lint errors, no not by just deleting the mock, no not by adding lint disable comments, no look here’s the vitest docs…
The one thing the article doesn’t cover is picking filters. Is there just a number, like N95?
Sounds like the mask might be used for paint/varnish fumes while out of lawless Federal officers’ throwing range.
Illegal in the US sense of “for protesters only but fine for LEOs”?
I found myself baffled as to what the hallmarks of a riot even were. I had thought that a crowd being tear gassed in the dead of night might be similar to a mosh pit at a concert, but riddled with fear instead of elation — a crowd pushing and shoving, overcome with heightened emotion. But I found that the people around me, even when they were screaming and throwing eggs and other produce at the feds, would apologize if they even slightly jostled me. I did worry about being trampled one time, while standing next to an underprepared television crew that had come without gas masks and kept panicking throughout the night. When did a gathering turn into a riot? Were riots even real?
Yeah, insightful writing about something that should be vanishingly uncommon.
I also strongly suspect that the mask is not adequate protection against the particulates in tear gas from a health standpoint — I didn’t have a normal period for six months after the 2020 protests.
Apparently it’s “Made to Move.” But I think they’re still typical Barbie size.
Impressive knitting!
Yeah, I read the headline as “genocide is dangerous to women, even when Israeli genocide properties say they’re nice.”
Al-Masarir’s iPhones had been hacked in 2018 after he clicked on links in three text messages seemingly sent from news outlets as special membership offers.
I wonder if opening unknown links in an Incognito session would have helped, or if he would’ve had to avoid opening them entirely.
Wikipedia says it’s “designed to be covertly and remotely installed on mobile phones running iOS and Android,” and has some detailed descriptions including:
“Google’s Project Zero documented another exploit, dubbed FORCEDENTRY, in December 2021. According to Google’s researchers, Pegasus sent an iMessage to its targets that contained what appeared to be GIF images, but which in fact contained a JBIG2 image. A vulnerability in the Xpdf implementation of JBIG2, re-used in Apple’s iOS phone operating software, allowed Pegasus to construct an emulated computer architecture inside the JBIG2 stream which was then used to implement the zero-click attack. Apple fixed the vulnerability in iOS 14.8 in September 2021 as CVE-2021-30860.”
Pegasus is a powerful and controversial hacking tool made by Israeli company NSO Group. NSO Group insists it only sells its spyware to governments to help track terrorists and criminals.
But Citizen Lab has discovered it on phones belonging to politicians, journalists and dissidents - including al-Masarir.
Promises from Israel?!
The total damages awarded are £3,025,662.83 but it’s not clear if Saudi Arabia will pay.
The BBC contacted the Saudi embassy in London but has not had a reply.
I wish him well.
The husband told MPR News that after his wife was taken into custody, he called his attorney, and soon after, he got a call from St. Peter Chief of Police Matt Grochow, whom he said he has known for years.
“I was talking to him, kind of venting some of my frustrations,” the man said, adding that he urged the chief to have his officers just be more visible during the federal enforcement actions. “If [local police] were present and they could see you, I promise you their behavior more than likely, or hopefully, would, you know, be appropriate and law abiding.”
The husband says he talked to the chief for a while and “we had a good conversation.”
“He asked me, ‘what was your wife’s name’? I told him my wife’s name. He said, ‘was she picked up in a bronco?’ And I said, ‘I’m not sure, but it was an SUV, dark colored. I’d have to look at my video.’ He goes, ‘I think I got her. I’ll call you back’.”
The husband said a few minutes later, the chief called again, “and said, I got her or I’m bringing her home.”
Seems like personal connections were maybe key, here.
Whoops, fixed the link. Glad you found it interesting, I did too.
Good opportunity to break out the annoyingly loud music toys that have been hidden in the closet. Plastic castinettes, your moment has come!
They do look a little like kittens.
I was able to straighten out the one with the gradual bend — just put it in the vise and bent it over the other way (to nearly straight across!) until it stayed straight. Sharpened up it cuts great, seems to follow a line well.
(The brown is wax coming off.)
Given the amount of work, I’m not sure I’ll attempt the other one though.
I was with you until “until.” Abolish ICE.
Though that may be the most incremental progress Bernie expects to be possible.
Do you have a multimeter that can handle AC? Or if the pedal unplugs, you might only need to check resistance. You could check if the pedal is smoothly increasing voltage / decreasing resistance, to see if it’s a pedal or motor problem. (Obviously only check AC if you’re comfortable with appropriate precautions.)
I do like python’s syntax, and I think it’s very expressive. But what I really enjoy about working in it over years is that it has standards that can help you write good software — there’s often one best official package to do something, there’s one style most libraries adhere to, etc — and the older ways often get deprecated. When I’m working with PHP and js, especially, that’s what consistently footguns me: closely related library functions that follow different styles/conventions, inconsistent error handling.
So I guess if you’re going to hate Python maybe that’s it. But if you’re stuck with it and want to see what you can see, those aspects could be something to reflect on. (Saying this as someone currently stuck with a bunch of legacy Perl I pretty well hate.)
