Just your normal everyday casual software dev. Nothing to see here.
People can share differing opinions without immediately being on the reverse side. Avoid looking at things as black and white. You can like both waffles and pancakes, just like you can hate both waffles and pancakes.
yea you have it yes, if they have confirmation that you had said evidence, and they were seizing the device to collect more evidence regarding it then it would be obstruction of justice and destroying evidence, but they need to be able to prove that claim. Unless they can prove that claim then it’s an unlawful search (excluding port authority specific laws regarding searches because checkpoints generally have reduced restrictions on lawful searches)
The exact circumstances around the search—such as why CBP wanted to search the phone in the first place—are not known
until this isn’t an unknown it’s impossible to voice opinion on the legality of this action. If they had evidence that there was something incriminating or against the law on the device and can prove the user intentionally destroyed the info to impede the investigation(honestly this last part is fairly easy as long as the first part can happen) then yea what he did would defo break the law, but until those aspects can be determined this seems like a massive abuse of that persons 1st(due to activism), 4th (due to the seizure of private property without a lawful search), and 5th(again private property) amendment rights.
danggg I wonder how long that bad boy takes to charge after an outage. The page says the solar powered one says < 2 hours but I don’t know if I trust that. Thats an insane charge speed for solar
I haven’t had a kernel update on Debian that triggered the “you should restart” message in quite some time. I was under the understanding that most newer systems now use splicing at the kernel level to not require periodic reboots.
technically the check for judicial was supposed to be a mix between it being a life position and the legislative branches impeachment/revocal process. The court was supposed to be an impartial non-political, but it’s been slowly slipping into a very heavily political system.
in the case of constitutional amendments, this gets even more complex. Technically states have the ability to force a constitutional convention hearing in the case of a legislative branch either not bringing to the floor or denying an amendment that has clear popularity in the states.
The issue with this is that it requires a 2/3 vote of the states in agreement, and that it also requires a system that only has the bare minimums defined legally on it. It doesn’t define what a convention is, or even how many people in the state have to agree. It’s fully left on the states to decide it on an individual basis how that system would work for them.
How it would work is
I thought the intent behind that wasn’t to revoke previous pardons, but was to prevent a president from pardoning themselves in an impeachment trial.

Edit: Regarding @nel0x , they did not have any history with the Syncthing (Android) project nor an expressive public profile when they applied to take over the Google Play Store entry in Feb 2025. I accepted this and transferred - believing in good will and we agreed on their task to be publishing what was on my repository to Google Play after their review. If they now desire to make their own app, there is, unfortunately no way to clean up the confusion caused if it is called the same other than kindly asking them to rename it.
they are claiming the man is in violation of title 18 section 2232 for inputting what seems to be a duress pin that initiated a wipe on the device when they tried to seize it.
said section does not talk about reasoning for searches though, it uses the terms “lawful authority” which in my eyes indicates that the search as a whole was lawful in the first place. It happend at a port authority though and those generally have weaker protections for citizen rights.
the claim they are making is that the user inputted a duress pin at the port, i was under the assumption that they actually need to have evidence that something was there in order to claim destruction of evidence, I’ll be curious to see where that case goes. It sounds like it was a routine search with no objective.
Degraded as in opinion or actual metrics?
If it’s opinion I feel most channels naturally degrade over time as the broadcasters personality changes with the popularity increase.
My largest case and it’s a likely a controversial take would be Markiplier. When he hit fandom he all but left the youtube lets play field in favor of other opportunities(which to be fair he was fully upfront with before he did it), then after months of almost no activity he came back with a different personality. (somewhat like how Jack did when he did his rebrand but was more noticeable). My eye opener to it was his GTFO series, I don’t know of a good way to put it, he seemed super offputting and mean/childish to the people he had gamed with for years. I know it was likely meant to be a bit but, after an extended inactivity in the genre and then coming back and acting like that it was whiplash. He also seems to really be putting his fandom/viewer base on the side burner with everything, he hasen’t posted regular videos in a long time(I expect it’s due to his movie that he’s putting his heart and soul into) and it’s made it so I no longer get recommendations to any of his content since his channel has fallen off the algorithm for me. Like don’t get me wrong, I still like his content(when he releases it), and he’s been clear that youtube was a stepping stone for him and that his passion is in other areas but for the sake of the question I feel the channel fits.
yea it makes it so much easier since there’s only one user in the system anyway so makes no sense for everything to be installed system level
The majority of my development work is on chat bots or sites so I’ve always just used bot as the name
further more the opencollective project hasn’t seen an expense report for development since july of 2024 only domain renewals. so it’s not like they are working behind the scenes and just haven’t pushed anything to the gitlab (which also hasent seen any real development activity since july 2024)
edit: I just saw this on their blog.
Personally I will not do any more work on Manyverse. And my impression is no one else is planning to either. At most I might do a patch release (no features/big bug fixes) to wrap up a grant. The codebase could maybe keep living in a fork where the backend is swapped out with some other protocol, but this is a big project which would probably lose backwards compatibility with the current SSB main network, and I don’t think this is very likely to happen. Personally if I’d work on a P2P app now it’d probably be a (comparatively) “smaller” project, like a chat app or similar, using a newer protocol.
so it sounds like the project is essentially dead
I always make a ~/.local/{bin,opt,share} if the distro lacks it. and a ~/bot that I use for my development stuff
Social life? No. But i defo don’t think society would be hindered by fewer social media or social platform sources.
There’s some social platforms that I straight out avoid due to the toxicity of the platform as a whole, while overall I think online has made my social life better, it definitely has a pretty heavy consequence as well.
The only systems that I use admin or password for are testing systems that are never going to be actually on 24-7 or carry anything worthwhile, And generally can’t even access the outside world anyway.
we’ve used artificial for at least the last 9 years now. Less cleanup, less expensive and easy to setup
agree, why I mentioned that in the post. Still doesn’t change the outcome that it degraded the channel which was why I used it as an example.
