Well, for the exact reason I said. Google ignores reference to anything without other corroboration. Hard or anchor links are necessary.

Fediverse content requires fluidity, and the same content is available at dozens of places. If they scrape the same post at different endpoint URIs, it will be discarded as spam.

This isn’t even news, it’s a known thing, and Google themselves described this in their SEO docs. No Fediverse instance is going to be spending money with Google to get a higher ranking, so it’s just kind of not going to show up.

Fediverse content is generally not indexed by Google because it’s doesn’t have predictable landing pages or site indexes. It moves and changes.

If something is shared enough on enough places and has enough anchor/hard links backs to something, it will probably show up.

Great episode, tho

• Firefox should export everything about your profile including history

• When you boot your LiveUSB, you’ll be brought into a desktop just like MacOS or Windows. If you wouldn’t run around randomly deleting stuff in a normal situation, then you probably wouldn’t do it here 🤣 No CLI will even be necessary unless you choose to use it.

Try and just answer in order without writing a novel:

1a: exFAT/FAT32 work just fine everywhere. NTFS works fine from Linux, but due to it sucking, may eventually lead to corruption. Ext4 works from Windows with a plugin.

1b: There are very few Windows programs that you can’t find a Linux alt for, and Wine does work on almost everything. Few exceptions would be from the developer of said software intentionally making it difficult. Adobe suite (soon to be fixed) is tricky, some kernel level anti-cheat games won’t work online, and some corpo software with crypt locks may be tough. There are emany simple Wine managers like Bottles to help make this dead simple.

1c: Firefox profiles are fully portable to any other Firefox install.

1d: No. Every media format is covered. This is not an OS thing though, this is an application thing. I can’t think of many apps that use proprietary local data formats anymore. You’d be better served asking about something specific.

1e: Nothing. It doesn’t touch any of your filesystems unless YOU touch them. Don’t delete anything, and you’re fine. It should even automount your existing identified partitions for you to browse through.

1f: “Viruses” and other malware don’t really exist on Linux or MacOS because of the permissions structure. Your regular user doesn’t have permission to alter the global system without a password. Don’t execute random code by giving it that password, and you’re fine. Your regular operates in its own sandbox, which is your user profile. Anything stupid you do as that user is just localized damage to that user.

1g: Very few things won’t work, and it’s likely to be some small production run variety of something. A cheap components by an unknown manufacturer with Windows-specific interactions is about it. Just stick to well known manufacturers, and do your research first. Even then, in time, most things get support if there is a large enough consumer base for that device.

2-3: I wouldn’t even bother trying to figure any of this out, because Microsoft constantly changes their mind about this, and they’ll soon just force you into this abomination of Windows 12 they’ve been talking about recently.

It’s very much like that 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force ’ where MasterShake is so stupid at gambling, he’s betting on games that have already finished.

That.Fucking.Stupid.

Edit: also, all these assholes are getting inside info and winning money on these “prediction markets”. Scams all the way down.

Literally every political news feed site. Invest zero dollars in an Ad Blocker.

Previously reported

Does this article also mention Rachel Good or Alex Pretti? No? This article wasn’t about that.

Because it’s assumed it was common knowledge. It’s not uncommon practice to refer to other referential pieces of information in a description.

But anyway: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/10/ice-spending-small-arms-weapons-chemical-munitions-increased-700-percent-2025/

And as someone else in the thread pointed out, there may have been some clarification on this after the reporting: https://www.wired.com/story/no-ice-probably-didnt-buy-guided-missile-warheads/

Since younfamiliar with the slush funds: https://www.vox.com/politics/479821/trumps-slush-fund-venezuela-oil-gaza-board-of-peace-tariffs https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/08/politics/trump-shutdown-tariffs-wic-farmers-analysis https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/opinion/trump-federal-money-slush-fund.html https://newrepublic.com/post/206790/donald-trump-10-billion-dollars-board-peace-slush-fund

Claims were made months ago: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/10/ice-spending-small-arms-weapons-chemical-munitions-increased-700-percent-2025/

Corrections that info were made a bit after that which I was unaware of: https://www.wired.com/story/no-ice-probably-didnt-buy-guided-missile-warheads/

What are you even talking about?

It’s a report from Schiff’s office. How is that “Doomer”?

It was reported months ago, but as someone else pointed out, they’ve apparently address that as something else.

Your smarm and pedantry is noted, but:

1. It was widely reported that ICE was acquiring warheads months ago. As others here pointed out, that (might) not be exactly correct because of confusion about item numbers on invoices. I was unaware there had been updates to that news.

2. The article isn’t “making completely unsubstantiated claims” at all. They’re referencing Adam Schiff’s report on this activity.

3. It’s quite a LARGE story, actually. This is very clearly Trump’s Private army now, and he’s creating slush funds all over the place to keep them funded for a time in case official funding gets cut off. This new report details just how many weapons they have amassed, and it’s shocking. This is the largest deployed paramilitary force on US soil, they are controlled by Trump, and they have enough Guns and Ammo to take over a small country.

4. Just because YOU think it’s a “non-story” doesn’t mean anyway all. In fact, nobody asked you. I certainly don’t think we were waiting on baited breath for your personal opinion on it either. Your feelings on it are actually not needed.

Others may not have known, or probably should know this information, and that’s why it’s posted. Didn’t need your opinion or permission on that, champ. ✌️

It’s a hash of some sort. No idea what it’s for.

You have a link to one?

So…things have been written about this. The biggest issue in Mexico is the space between cities.

You move into one area and clear it out, anyone left leaves to join others in some other places and then you have to move the police force to wherever the new outbreak starts.

It’s Guerilla Warfare. It’s not impossible to stop with force, but it takes a long time. The fastest way to stop the Cartels is by Supply Suffocation, either by product, or by banking.

The trick here is that Cartels know this, and regularly rely on the law to prevent seizures of funds, and even recently have become money laundering operations for people wanting to traffic Chinese currency, so they are FLUSH with cash.

So in this specific case, it’s like fighting the Mafia. You can greatly reduce their operations by taking out the leaders, seizure of asset or product, and removing enforcers in their organizations, but you’ll always be left with a small contingent that will continue operating in some capacity.

The thing with Mexican Cartels is that they’ve strong armed themselves into legitimate businesses like agriculture (avocados are a big one), and it’s hard to find legal ways to prove that X business is funded by a Cartels when they are already laundering money. It could look like it comes from anywhere.

It’s a cat and mouse game until the larger population feels empowered enough to report members, or fight back themselves.
