Exactly. Some politicians basically admitted that the tiktok ban is actually about suppressing criticism of Israel.

This one is already in the default uBlock filters - Badware risks
I also strongly suggest adding https://big.oisd.nl/ as a filter list. It’s a large and well maintained domain blocklist (sourced from combining lots of other blocklists) that usually adds lots of these sorts of domains quickly and has very few false positives.
If you want to take it even further, check out the Pro list and Thread Intelligence Feeds list here https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists
These can all be added to a pihole too if you use one.
This is why ublock origin is an essential security tool.
To anyone supporting the administration in doing this, do you seriously think this is and will always be about actual misinformation, and not pro-palestine speech and similar things? Cut the partisanship please. The government involving itself in the censorship of speech is absolutely a problem.
This is a forum for general discussion, not a question and answer board.
As usual, it’s big pharma behind the drug abuse problems.
Companies cry the same way about the bills to ban end to end encryption, and they’re still bad for consumers too
Every new game that is released with a character dressed in even a slightly sexually suggestive way results in a rabid meltdown from braindead Twitter users. Payment processors like PayPal are forbidding the use of their services for NSFW content due to pressure from fundamentalist christian organizations like Exodus Cry, under the guise of “child safety”
In general, AM radio is the playground of the right wing and I’d love nothing more than to fuck them over because that’s the only thing they’ve ever known.
This is an unhinged take. Kill off the most simple to implement and farthest travelling radio system that would be essential in the event of a nationwide blackout or other emergency (and let the spectrum get sold off to some megacorp), just to own the cons because they broadcast stuff that nobody listens to anyway?
Emergency broadcasts can be made on FM, its not as big of a loss as we fear it will be.
It would be a big loss. FM does not travel beyond the horizon. AM does not require a functioning electrical grid powering the whole country and hundreds of towers linked to telecom services. AM receivers can be built with household scrap. We can get by currently with FM for emergencies, that’s what NOAA weather radio is, but vast swaths of the desert and rural areas are presently left uncovered, and a nationwide power grid or telecom outage would severely impact the service.
This is not a statewide power demand issue. It’s localized power outages from trees falling on power lines and similar
Before trying the conversion, I suggest checking if you are missing a library that strawberry needs (probably libopus or libopusfile). For me, strawberry reads opus files perfectly normally, so I wonder if yours is falling back to using ffmpeg or something to decide them
If you really must convert, use Vorbis with the variable bitrate mode -q6
(or -q:a 6
option in ffmpeg) which usually ends up around 192 kbps, or push it up one more to q7 which will be a little higher. This is the level that is usually transparent, but do keep in mind that any conversion between lossy codecs is much more likely to cause perceivable loss in quality than a conversion from a lossless source. Btw opus is the direct successor to Vorbis and is superior in quality per bitrate (128k is what YouTube uses and is indistinguishable the vast majority of the time). It’s probably better than 320k mp3 at least
I’m highly skeptical of anti-GMO claims. Usually they come from the same family of pseudoscience as anti-nuclear and anti-vaccine
Pelosi, Himes, and Peters were among the 173 House Democrats who last month voted to approve $26 billion in new U.S. military aid to Israel, in addition to the nearly $4 billion it already gets from Washington each year.
It’s all talk. When it comes to actual actions, they support Israel 100% of the time.
I have never heard of this flag having any sort of fascist connotation. It’s a Revolutionary War flag, and is very very commonly seen throughout Massachusetts (and probably much of the rest of the northeast), by liberals and conservatives alike, due to its historical significance to the culture of New England. It’s so common that I find it odd to assume he has negative intentions for flying it without some other evidence.
This is your mind on CIA propaganda
Out of 4,037,953 GitHub user profiles with email addresses, we were able to identify 1,426,121 (35.3%) of them as men or women through their public Google+ profiles.
Could be a confounding variable in that the type of people who reveal their gender publicly might differ from those who don’t in some way that is also related to their contribution quality
If you actually read the article, it says they are receiving federal aid
I don’t think the severe privacy consequences could ever justify any use of this
I bet this thread will be fun to read from the Lemmy instances that censor words
yt-dlp is pretty much the standard program for it https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
It is installable as a python module, so it should be easy to sandbox if you need to (though it requires ffmpeg too). Nowadays I almost view it as a standard unix utility though and wouldn’t think twice about installing the native package
