Back before smart phones I always preferred flip phones over "candy bars", the flip phone helps to protect the delicate screen and buttons while the phone is in your pocket/purse. You don't really need a case for a flip phone.

Modern smart phones tend to be more delicate than they should be across the board, but in theory, a flip phone puts the more delicate parts in a safer place.

I have anecdotal evidence that people get misinformation from tiktok.

My son in law (who unfortunately lives with us, but that's another rant) was telling me about a third assassination plot against Donald Trump. He wanted to show me this tiktok with the news. I was able to inform him that these rumors weren't accurate, and he quickly confirmed that.

But I only knew to question his assertion because i'd already seen news here on Lemmy that there were debunked rumors of another assassination plot. That is to say, Lemmy never pushed the tumor as news, but rather only reported about the already debunked rumors continuing to circulate. The disinformation continuing to spread was the interesting news on Lemmy.

Yep, I think you're right.

Yeah, I think you're probably exactly right.

I guess that goes to show that harsh penalties don't prevent crimes. Sigh... our justice system is so messed up.

How do you bring yourself to do something so wrong, that you can't stand the idea of living after people find out?

It's like that first rule of gambling, never bet more than youre willing to lose... Just never do anything so wrong that you can't live with it.

Found the Chinese agent!

under international law if a device is used for military transmissions it is a valid target and can be attacked.

I think this means that if an Israeli sells you a phone, they become a valid target for military strikes.

Fun fact, a group of pedants is called a flem. To use it in a sentence: "the party was ruined by a flem of pedants".

Just use llama?

I know this sounds horrible, but for the Republicans to be this panicked doesn't exactly bode well for their chances, even if they cheat.

I was there for the election of George W Bush. My takeaway is that you can absolutely win by cheating, if the opposition just lets you do it.

The headline should read:

Despite best efforts and all odds, ISPs find themselves on the right side of history.
