Some of these sound reasonable, some of them are completely ridiculous. It's probably for the better of the movement that these demands aren't the subject of (sympathetic) news coverage, because they're way outside the overton window of the general population. In fact, republicans/conservatives could hardly get any better support for their claim that BLM supporters are radical marxists.
I think the concern is the introduction of invasive species that are not here, whether they have never been here, have been eliminated, or are currently being combated.
Truecrypt doesn't change that if the user has the volume open. When computers still had Firewire if they had a warrant for child porn they would use FW and DMA to pull a complete copy of the memory if it was on and get any encryption keys to the Truecrypt volume. They would actually announce that they were coming in on suspicion of child porn because people had a tendency to boot the computer and open Truecrypt to delete all their files.

I suspect similar techniques are still used today, like we see with this tool. If you can get a dump of the computer active memory you can ultimately get the decryption keys on consumer hardware.
Meanwhile, the riot riots.

Tear gas won’t manage gentrification and economic inequality, and overarching societal reform won’t manage a riot in progress.

Serving ads or doing tracking from random URLs doesn't work with extensions like uBlock Origin.

In Firefox, uBO can block first party domains: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/780

Also domain or URL blocking isn't the only thing you can do. You can also ban scripts from the page, or monkey patch JavaScript to change behavior that ad networks rely on. And you can also do cosmetic ads blocking, to hide elements from the page, via user stylesheets.

It's no wonder that Google is deprecating the APIs uBlock Origin relies on, in Manifest v3 ;-)

Fact of the matter is Google is now engaged in war against ad-blocking.
So one person throwing a bottle is a reason to declare a riot? This has happened. Who decides when an assembly ought to be declared a riot? Currently its police and they have shown time and again they cannot be relied on to make a sound judgement in that regard. The majority of time there has been little reason to declare a riot and instead of relieving the tension, government forces have stoked it. What about using agent provocateurs? Surely this is not what you consider to be upholding the rule of law. And for that matter Portland police have shown bias in their application of the law in regards to counter protestors. I support the rule of law wholeheartedly but it must be applied evenly across all fronts for the rule of law to be maintained. On its face alone, I agree with your statement but digging any deeper reveals
that unfortunately your black and white maximalist/ reductionist viewpoint doesn't fit the reality in the ground. Its shades of grey. The media and the radicals on any side are forcing you into this viewpoint. Btw you are leaving out so much in your assessment to in order to make a black and white argument.

- Generally take zero quality of life issues into account.

- "Adding americans" Bringing in a nearly 2:1 ratio of immigrants is not "adding americans" that is replacing an entire country with immigrants. This would not be America but the country that the majority of those people came from. America would be flat out no questions dead as a country. All of human history teaches us that this would simply lead to a multiple country war in America as immigrants self divide into micro countries, just like the middle east.
It's very easy to consider modern precision weapons like cruise missiles ethical:

The alternative is carpet bombing, including all the civilians nearby.

Mass use of precision guided weapons is meant to avoid excess casualties. How is that not ethical?

I'm guessing this relies on a naive convenience position like "we should never have war" - ironically a position that can only be held when you already have peace, freedom, and a strong and effective military.

Don't know about "professional" mice, but I for one enjoy some gaming mice. What I like about them is the high resolution, which means I don't have to move them very far. They also usually have nice feet that glide well. Higher end "regular" mice do too, but the cheaper ones usually have pretty questionable ones.

Some years ago, when my trusty G9x started having some coil whine issues I got a G700s. It was the first wireless mouse I felt didn't feel wireless. Instant response, very, very smooth tracking, etc. I still use it (with its original Ni MH battery!) along with an MX Ergo wireless trackball. While the latter feels much better than I remember wireless mice used to feel, I still feel the difference when I get back on the G700s or on a corded mouse.
It is on-record at this point that US federal and local agents infiltrate these organizations and run a divide-and-conquer playbook. When you fight against the monetized weight of these efforts, they write articles like this one, attempting to invoke the imaginary leftist authoritarian boogey-man. The best part of this article is that it linked the demands of the protestors, which I fully, 100% across-the-board support: https://www.tenforjustice.com/demands.
The main thing is, anarchism is the only philosophy that it's dead-on clear that the structures can and should be questioned and that it can and should be reconfigurable, refactored and etc if we're going with programming terms. It's just democracy but pushed deeper. Anarchism embodies the liberal democracy & socialist ideals, it is coherent with classical thought & philosophy, as well as enlightenment rationality(in case you haven't noticed the current status quo is absolutely losing coherence and moving further from all that), it has also been paired w/ religious ideals.

The idealized citizen in liberal & classical democracy is an anarchist, a free person participating in the matters of the "polis"(city), the "free" distinctions has plenty of consequences if you really get into it, we're talking about people from antiquity here, what they were saying is that only free people could be trusted to participate, this immediately creates a problem of class distinction i.e.: people who owned land, that were free enough to be able to learn philosophy, etc. So, although implementation was imperfect from the start, the kernel is good.(btw I'm an antiquity geek in case you haven't noticed).

What I'm getting at is: there's no rewrite at all, actually, it would be maintenance, paying the tech debt and sticking to the vision. This hollowed out democracy we're with now is a joke.

>If you can get a dump of the computer active memory you can ultimately get the decryption keys on consumer hardware

What methods are available to get a memory dump if Firewire is disabled? Feds couldn't break my encryption after ~1.5 years but my devices were all off when they showed up. Ironically the one device they did get into was a cell phone powered on but it had little evidentiary value and in one funny way was partly exculpatory.
You can add my experience to this. I don't have a computer that's been upgraded nearly that far, but I've dual booted windows+linux in a wide array of configurations and never had data loss. I've accidentally wiped grub when installing (not upgrading) windows, and I've had windows refuse to update unless it's on the first disk in the bios, but I've never had it randomly nuke a partition.

It’s simple. We have rules and regulations on how to assemble in public. They differ from city to city and state to state but the information isn’t hard to find. Typically you need a permit if your assembly is more than 20 people but that’s not universal. And an assembly in the middle of the night is almost certainly not peaceful or allowed.

People are trying to make it grey to apologize for what is happening.
According to your link, "93% of demonstrations have involved no serious harm to people or property" out of a total of 7,750 demonstrations this year.

Which is one way to say that there have been approximately 542 protests this year involving serious harm to people or property. But sure, nothing to see here. (And by the way, what % of that 93% involved harm that the researchers didn't consider "serious"?)

Next time I see my grandad I'll tell him that there were only 71 bombing raids on London over 8 months of the Blitz, therefore his childhood in that city was "mostly peaceful."

- Ta ta (Bye)

- Sir/Madam (widely used for elders and people of higher status or generally to everyone as a way of respect)

- Mentioning Honourable etc. before names of judges, bureaucrats etc.

This is only one data point but I was in Portland this week trying to get away from smoke and it was all peaceful. The protestors I saw looked like kids and older folks out in for a rally. Some were wearing bright vests for visibility, probably from cars.

All in all it didn’t seem too wild to me and I’m sure I didn’t see all the protests, again this is just one guy walking down the street. I never felt unsafe for what it’s worth.
the easiest way to put it is that you embed Lua into your app (say scripts that are loaded at startup or even as a command line) while it’s more natural to embed your external functionality into Python (e.e. numpy).

It’s simpler to connect lua to your c/c++ datastructures than it is to connect Python, and it’s more complicated to write little things in Python.

Sometimes it’s easier to grab a pencil and scribble a little note on a piece of paper. Sometimes it’s a lot more useful to type a note into your phone or computer than to deal with paper.
Sure. You don't start a negotiation from the middle. Also, most of the actual policy changes would be local. The support of the general population matters much less than the support of those who are impacted. The politicians and leaders need to work out the details and compromises. The point of these protests is that one side has not been listened to, and it is getting people killed, and we're sick of it.
Normally, if you load a page from Party A which pulls in content from Party B, it's hard for them to correlate who you are because they have separate cookies. That's not a problem if they're served from the same host, probably even on the same QUIC connection.
This article is a great condemnation of how badly Unix networking has gone in the last 10 years. For many, many, many years we used /etc/resolv.conf to configure name service. Easy and simple, but not very flexible.

All the tools this article talks about turning off are trying to solve problems. They're trying to let resolv.conf be configured with DHCP, or handle VPNs correctly, or roam across networks. You need software to do that, not just a static config file. The problem is every Linux distro has a different tool. And those tools behave opaquely or do bizarre things like use 127.0.0.53 as the loopback address. No one built the One True Tool that got it right. And so we have a mess that has the sysadmin throwing up their hands, disabling all the tools, and making immutable config files just to get back to basic static file functionality.
So then how does banning the sale of seeds help? They’ll just switch to plastic doodads or some such.
As I understand, these shipments are typically part of a review fraud system where an item is "bought" using a stolen account and a review left in its name. But in order to show up as a verified purchase Amazon requires tracking information. To make it appear that the item was actually mailed, a nominally priced item is sent, some cheap seeds in a small envelope. But Amazon doesn't know that, it sees a completed shipment and assumes it's for the item being reviewed, which is something other than seeds.

In other words, banning sales completely misses the point and won't stop the flow of the mystery seeds. Assuming that's what's actually going on.

You say this with such certainty, but empirically we have seen that protests turn violent once police start escalating and attacking them, and turn peaceful again after the cops leave [0][1][2][3][4][5]. So no, it's not the right tool for the job. The protests have continued precisely because the government has not showed a single sign of even beginning efforts toward overarching societal reform.

Leeches ARE used contemporarily, eg -
https://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk/resources/patient-informa...

"In medicine, particularly plastic and reconstructive surgery, leeches may be used to help improve blood flow in an area of tissue or skin flap that has poor blood circulation. Leeches do this by removing clotted blood (congested blood) from delicate areas, such as underneath a flap of skin. By removing this clotted blood, leeches can restart blood flow in the small blood vessels of the flap. This helps to prevent the tissues from dying."

> flavours of BSD can have pretty strong principles regarding their software distributions remaining free even though they don't prefer copyleft

That is true, however speaking to many members of the FreeBSD community in particular, there seems to be a strong sentiment of this simply being a practical model of development, rather than a strong ideological stance. In fact a large portion seems to be rocking Macs, "cause it's BSD anyway", which to me does not seem particularly principled.

In fact they seem to take pride in completely closed systems being based on FreeBSD, like the PS4, Nintendo Switch etc.
