Akram said he had gone to the police to report the misinformation but they had just told him to disable all his social media accounts. He said he was also unable to reach X to get their assistance. Instead he resorted to making his own video which he posted to Facebook and Twitter, in a bid to clarify that he had been wrongly identified and called for the posts with his photograph to be reported and taken down.

The response of the police is grossly inadequate in this case. With the kind of hatred that results from the mass shooting, this man’s life is obviously in danger of some angry, upset person deciding to attack him for retribution and revenge. Disabling his own social media accounts does nothing to prevent this. The police should have contacted the social media companies with the authority of a government agency to have them deal with the issue promptly. Or they should have referred the issue to some other government agency empowered to act. It’s not adequate to simply age verify everyone but let such dangerous misinformation go unchecked.

What happened to ending the war within 24 hours? Didn’t Trump say it would be easy? Why is there concern that Ukraine will need weapons indefinitely?

This makes me think of Don’t Talk to the Police

Google can read your emails whether you opt out or not.

He’s a bit late. It already is a bubble. All everyone can do at this point is maybe influence if, when and how it bursts or deflates.

SpaceX fans quickly began calling for a rescue mission.

I don’t see evidence in the article of anyone calling on them (SpaceX and Musk) for a rescue: not even the anonymous fans. There is only the unsubstantiated claim. And I don’t see even a claim that anyone other than the alleged anonymous fans are calling on them.

Nothing good comes from trying to appease a bully.

It’s true that intense bombing was done before, but the intensity of bombing in Vietnam and surrounding countries was unprecedented and some of the most intensive of that bombing was done under the command of Nixon.

To call Nixon the ‘father’ of carpet bombing is, of course, hyperbole, but the exaggeration isn’t extreme.

It’s harvesting clicks for money, as far as I can see.

I’m not running your configuration so can’t tell you with the assurance that I have it working but Forwarding ports with firewalld appears to address port forwarding to rootless podman using firewalld. If that doesn’t work for you you might need to clarify what your firewalld configuration is that obscures the client IP. I wouldn’t expect a simple port mapping to affect IP address.

And “six potential issues in just 682 lines of code” is not “about one problem for every 27 lines”.

Also, no indication of how the code was selected or why they are credibly representative of FOSS and closed source software generally. I find it quite incredible.

Actually, that makes a lot of sense…

Given that Trump is the best president ever (I’m sure I have heard people say so), then anyone who opposes him is, ipso facto, an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

The more I think about it, the more obvious it is. I mean, why even have another election?

Yes, but…

Making social media fake is the intention. It’s not a failure.

The failure is that the fraud is noticed: the bots and LLMs are not yet good enough to be undetectable.

The fraud will be perfected when LLMs can be fake without feeling fake. At least until the fraudsters have achieved their objectives. After that, will they care how their victims feel? I guess not.

Pulsing the power every 3 to 5 seconds would be fantastic! One pulse every 30 seconds is not good. But I haven’t yet found a manual or sales person that can tell me the period of the pulse width modulation for any brand/model. Not that I have tried very hard.

Maybe I should try KitchenAid. What you describe sounds wonderful.

That was exactly the problem with simmering anything.

Also, only 9 power levels wasn’t enough. It was very powerful (nice when I wanted full power) but the steps in power were too big. For many things the only options were too hot or too cold.

But the fault that made me replace it was an intermittent one: occasionally (about five times in 18 months) it went to full power. This could happen at any power setting. No change in the indicated setting, but the power would come on continuously. Anything other than a pot of water would, in just a few seconds, be burning. Very dangerous! Fortunately, it never happened when I wasn’t standing right there to turn the power off at the wall switch. Being intermittent, technicians couldn’t find/fix the fault. It also occasionally stopped heating for a minute or so at a time, as if there was some thermal lockout even when nothing was unusually hot, but at least that wasn’t dangerous.

It was Haier. And I see they are no longer the biggest by revenue, but still #3

The problem with simmering is that the cooktop was very powerful (nice when you want to heat something quickly) but it only had two modes: one or off. The power was regulated by turning it on briefly, once every 30 seconds. Even at the lowest possible setting (there were 9 power levels), a pot of water would boil each time the power came on for about 3 seconds. Then it would cool for 27 seconds. Even a pot with a thick base, designed for induction cooktops, and heavy cast-iron pans had this problem.

It would be easy to turn the power on and off more frequently than once every 30 seconds. It wouldn’t be much more difficult to have a mode that delivered less than full power.

A thick iron plate under the pot smoothed the power delivery to the pot, but then it’s not really induction heating of the pot: just a hot plate.
