The gummit also doesn’t track mass shootings either

Yeah they do, The DoJ / FBI puts out official statistics every year.

no CDC invovled even.

Most of the time no, but the NIH and the NIJ are.

As a former CAP cadet I approve this plan. The Air Force should approve it immediately!

The President has too much fscking power and civil liberty people have been shouting about it for more than 20 years now.

We should make it easy to be documented and provide benefits for being documented.

The 2nd half of that is already true as there are definitely benefits for being documented, one which is protection from being deported.

The first part is trickier since there seems to be some confusion on what “undocumented” means. For instance if you’re already working with ICE then you are documented until the Immigration System makes its decision about you.

“Undocumented” really means that someone is here without the knowledge of the authorities at all. Ideally the US Government would simply put a stake in the ground and grant amnesty for anyone already here and then tighten things up in the future. Unfortunately we already did that back in 1986 and while the “Amnesty” part got done the other part didn’t.

Our immigration system is a dumpster fire of hodge-podged laws, executive actions, court decisions, and federal agency policies. Frankly we should scrap the whole thing and return to 'Ellis Island Style" until we can re-work it from the ground up to make it function correctly.

Ellis is how my Grandparents got here and as a system it mostly worked.

I would love to talk about the amazing mechanics and different approaches guns have to firing an exploding charge to move a mass of metal at supersonic speeds

You need to hang out with gunsmiths. Those are the folks having those kinds of conversations.

I think nearly everyone in the firearms community realizes how much time and effort Keanu puts into training.

I think the opposite is more true; meaning that people OUTSIDE the firearms community have little to no idea how much time and effort it takes to be anything like what he looks like in the movies. Nor do they realize how far removed the movies they watch are from reality. Suppressors are not silent, shooting things 50 yards away with a pistol is almost always going to result in a miss, your ears are ringing after just one or two shots making conversations after a gun battle impossible, and so on.

Which specific routers that TP-Link makes are the issue?

They are presumably talking about CovertNetwork-1658 and the reason there’s no list of routers is because no one has publicly described the vulnerability that is being leveraged.

My guess is that the vulnerability is present on most of their routers. I’m basing that opinion on the fact that previous CVEs issues against TP-LINK have impacted their most popular product lines like Archer and Deco.

It’s possible that this is related to CVE-2024-21833 which was open in January of 2024, update in July of 2024, then updated again in late November of 2024.

I find your comment to be dangerously credible.

They can’t sell it, the CCP won’t let them.

With very few exceptions, and Germany isn’t one of them, immigration is an intractable problem. On the one side mass immigration creates or worsens quite a number of issues including housing, wage suppression, and crime. On the other side are the swiftly declining native populations that will lead to a lack of workers and economic implosion if not quickly resolved.

The reality is that most Western Nations need even more immigration than what they already have; the problem is that the leaders haven’t done sufficient planning or dedicated sufficient resources. They simply threw the doors open and started ushering people in, apparently on the belief that people would figure it out for themselves.

Canada is an excellent example of this. Their politicians had an “Oh Shit!” moment a few years back when they realized population collapse was imminent so they propped their doors wide open and hung out a glowing neon “Welcome to Canada!” sign. Now their Education and Health Care systems are overwhelmed, housing markets are going up faster than a SpaceX rocket, and food prices are completely out of hand. All because they immigrated millions of people without preparing for them.

Immigrated needed to start earlier, move slower, and have far more prep work, instead many western countries waited until the last minute (or beyond).

At this point the best way forward is to start intense mass education efforts explaining why all of this immigration is both urgent and necessary.

How do you have a SmartGrid if the nodes aren’t able to communicate with each other or log data?

Western leadership has been festooned with Chinese Intelligence Operatives since at least the mid-90s. In just the last decade there’s been multiple cases uncovered in the U.S., Germany, France, and the UK. I’m sure there’s more, those are just the ones I know of off the top of my head.

Protip: It’s called Gray Man and there’s more to it so get educated and practice.🙂

That will not save you.

It’s all that’s needed. Social Media lives and dies by the network effect so as popular creators get forced off or choose to leave the platform the content consumers will also leave.

Beyond that very few users of any service or platform will expend the time and effort trying to install an app from alternate sources so as devices die or get reset those users will disappear. As an example back in 2013 Flappy Bird was stupid popular but once you couldn’t install it directly from a regular app store anymore it died off.

TT is 12 months from death in the United States. I hope Bluesky is ready for them.

YouTube…that reminds of a conversation I had here on Lemmy a while back. The subject of right wing political content on YouTube came up and I had the same “I don’t encounter that” comment that I just made in regards to Mastadon.

After a bit of back and forth I realized that I don’t engage with political content of any type on YT so the algorithm doesn’t push it at me. It seems that YT doesn’t do a good job of classifying political content as to its lean. So once you start engaging with political content the algorithm starts suggesting all kinds of it.

It’s the same with social justice and racial issues. I don’t engage with that kind of content on YT or Mastadon, don’t see it my feeds, and it’s not being pushed at me by the algorithm.

I don’t know if that explains it completely but there has to be some reason(s) why some of us don’t see this stuff while other people see it all the time.

I apologize for misreading your post.

Like you I’m confused at the continual cries of racism on Mastadon. I’ve been on there for months and never seen it. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist but I’m confused as to how it is “full of racists/white supremacists” but I never bump into them or see it.

I don’t want to doubt anyone’s experience but I’m at a loss to explain why my feed is so different from other peoples.

but it would take a lot of effort, computers, money, energy, etc to constantly scan and store information for everyone, right?

You are describing PRISM and it’s been running since 2007.

When they realized how much storage it was going to take the US Government built the UDC at Camp Williams in Utah.
