DougHolland , to News in Trump warns Netflix of ‘consequences’ unless it pulls top Democrat from board

Gosh, another black woman Trump can't respect. What are the odds!

DougHolland , to News in DHS suspends trusted-traveler programs TSA PreCheck and Global Entry as partial government shutdown drags on
@DougHolland@lemmy.world avatar

The news keeps getting better and better! DHS is largely a useless agency, and eliminating these special privileges for "certain people" will give those people a small reminder of reality for the rest of us.

It's not an argument, and not to be won.

Trump & the Republicans are currently more powerful than people carrying signs. Thus, it's pointless for people to protest. Is that your point?

Worth looking into, thanks.

DougHolland , to News in Wikipedia Blacklists Archive.today, Starts Removing 695,000 Archive Links
@DougHolland@lemmy.world avatar

Crap. Obviously, I'm gonna gotta stop using archive.today, but it's the only way around paywalls at numerous sites.

Removepaywalls.com (plural) inserts ads, often for shady operations.

Removepaywall.com (singular) usually works, but it's tricky sharing the links (i.e., "choose option 2" or "choose option 4").

Byebyepaywall.com has old, dead options.

Wayback Machine bombs out a lot.

And ghostarchive.org is successful so rarely it's really a last resort.

Anyone know of any others?

DougHolland , to Fuck AI in AI hype is such bullshit. Who cares if Anthropic was 'used' in a military operation? I'm sure Outlook search was 'used' in this military operation
@DougHolland@lemmy.world avatar

Well, with AI's penchant for justmakingstuffup, using it could lead to the 'wrong' people being abducted & tortured & deported or killed.

None of this is in my top 10,000 worries right now, and I'm lactose intolerant and drink almond milk and eat boca burgers, but let's be factual, please. Milk, meat, and flesh have always referred to animal products.
