Creeps want that. Anyone who wants to watch nonconsensual pornography is a creep. Much as rape is often about power more than sexual desire, I suspect many of these creeps want to see a politician they dislike in a degrading situation.

It's easy to find examples of homemade guns. Here's a blog full of them: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/author/improguns/

Most of them are made with crude metalworking, not 3D printing. Making a quality firearm is difficult; making one that goes bang most times the trigger is pulled is not.

I think the goal is to grant exceptions in exchange for bribes or political favors, because the FCC has already behaved that way with a similar rule about routers.

Thanks for the clickbait-skip. There's still an important point missing: this doesn't apply to ownership, use, or sale of existing devices. It doesn't even block importation of existing models. It blocks certification of new models

Using a big tech option for something like a password manager is a bad idea in general. Eggs, baskets, etc....

The default user agent string for the browser that comes with the Steam Deck appears to identify it as Linux, so anybody counting that way without explicitly separating it would count it as Linux.

People have been claiming that the current year is the "year of the Linux desktop" because of some improvement to Linux usability or action Microsoft took to offend people for decades. The claim has not come true by any reasonable metric for just as long.

It would be less surprising to me from someone who doesn't understand how computers work at all and only wants to use SMS. It's weird from someone who already uses several messaging apps.

What (if anything) does that friend use for messaging?

And the video stability doesn’t match with someone holding up a phone like that.

Image stabilization can be pretty good lately, but I must admit that I don't spend much time watching handheld phone selfie videos.

You probably also guessed that the stripper isn't actually attracted to you.

I watched the three video clips and would not have initially guessed the leotard gymnast and the mechanic are generated. The sad gymnast looks a little plastic.

What actually looks fake in the mechanic video after a couple loops is the valve notches on the pistons, which are rotated from the correct orientation, and overlapping in a way that the laws of physics would not support.
