Do we as a society really need reminding don’t point weapons at police? Don’t do it folks.

Do we need a reminder that kids aren’t mini-adults, and they do stupid things sometimes? In any case, I’ll believe he pointed it at them when I see a video of it.

Hey I’ll give them some credit with that headline.

Not “13-year-old killed in police shooting” or “a 13-year old died during a police interaction” etc. Nope, they fully went with “Police in New York shoot and kill 13-year-old.” Thank you, PBS.

Also -

The shooting happened Friday night after officers in Utica stopped two youths at around 10:18 p.m.

One of them fled and pointed what appeared to be a handgun at the officers, according to a statement by the Utica Police Department.

I’ll be interested to see when that footage is released and what it contains.

Fuck if it doesn’t seem true.

Microsoft has gone too far:

Just now, with this?

No idea why they’d think that…

How is it possible to be a member of the pre-civil-rights generation of white people and be so oblivious as to

• DON A SHIRT that says in huge letters “Blacks for Trump”
• Wear it in public
• To an event ostensibly targeted to black people
• Willingly pose for a picture wearing it with no black people in evidence except those laughing at you or giving you the side eye from a distance.

She pretty much created her own bad reputation. Not just from this show, but it definitely cemented it. There was also a sex tape scandal, but I think it was wrong to slutshame someone for something like that even back then.

Her main reputation was always vapid, filthy rich, snotty socialite - she was hardly the first, but she might have been the first we got to watch in a seasons-long reality show.

Edited to add - if that stuff was all an intentional move to bring shame on her family for how they mistreated her growing up, I’m now her biggest cheerleader.

Yep. When I got out of bed this morning I would not have predicted this would be the day I’d have respect or sympathy for Paris Hilton.

I don’t support banning memes or the news either, but they aren’t under attack currently.

Schadenfreude intensifies…

I have servers on Digital Ocean and Linode and also one in my basement, and have had no problem. I do have all services behind NPM (not to suggest it’s a panacea) and use HTTPS/SSH for everything. (not to suggest HTTPS/SSH are either) My use case could be different than yours - my immediate family are my only consumers - but have been running the same services in those locations for a few years now without issue.

This one never really gets old anymore.

Ah, fair!

When the rest of us get taxed it’s just how society works. When billionaires get taxed, now it’s a “scheme.”

Microsoft is on a fuck up their product speedrun, ain’t it?

I think at this point it’s clear they have a core base of users who (for one reason or another) aren’t going anywhere no matter how much abuse they pile on top. It’s MS’s version of that 38% or whatever of people who are clearly going to vote Trump even if he reveals himself to be the literal devil.

Fucking up their product? Why yes, each and every year they give me a new object lesson in how grateful I am to have ejected them from my life (except when paid to use Windows) in 2007. But will the company come to harm from it? I don’t think so.

The only sensible solution then is to ban toddlers from EVs. They’ll just have to walk.

Better give 'em guns too. With all that walking maybe they can stop a school shooting or two.

Not sure, but 20 month old toddler…

OK, correction accepted. I probably did conflate them with Broadcom. Someone should let those ubuntu folks know though… ;)

I swear in SMS on the daily, and have shared videos of pro-Palestine protests via sms also. I’m a bit dubious. I did read the article, and it sounds like one carrier-specific issue, and (unsurprisingly) MS allowing enterprise customers to control what is said on Teams.

So two examples that are each either platform or carrier specific.
