Bovino is head of CBP not ICE. Both agencies need to be liquidated.

I assumed it was piefed.

Now we’re cooking.

I’m very aware. They keep opening new accounts on new instances which gets annoying to block.

They’re actually cross posting it without attribution: https://suppo.fi/post/9981263

Which is… obsessive.

indeed

I’d love to have a civilian LRAD system but maybe a junglist sound system would suffice.

Sleep deprivation is serious business. This guy is easily doing more direct action than 99% of the protestors (no hate on them).

What alternative strategies are you suggesting? Picking up a gun and forming a militia? Or waiting for the mid-terms vote ICE agents out of office?

iirc Maduro was already in negotiations to surrender himself to Trump as a part of some deal that would lift the sanctions. But the negotiations took too long for Trump.

Trump threatens Jorge Rodriguez with more blatant terrorism unless he privatizes the world’s largest oil supply. If the new admin capitulates, Trump calls that a win. He gets the oil and the spectacle without losing a single american troop. The US will lose respect from its allies - again - but they never do shit about it. iTs AmErICa FiRsT. america

Rubio and the Cuba lobby are furious though. They are serious about regime change. The option that gets the most people killed.

If Trump felt beholden to congress, he would not have gotten approval. He would have had to spend years spreading propaganda and trying to build up a case, like Bush did. All that effort might have prevented him from doing it at all.

Didn’t stop Bush did it?

More importantly, doing this is trying to peel off people who might waver because Maduro is unsympathetic

Saddam was even less sympathetic but the Iraq war was still wrong. Most of the US understands that. It’s bipartisan amongst the populace at this point. Call it Jungle Iraq. Your son is going to die for oil… again. That’ll alarm people way more than the bazillionth instance of presidential over-reach.

Protests are shouting matches. We’re not talking about general discussion. Do you censor yourself in general discussion because conservatives play gotcha games with you? How is that honest communication?

Maybe that’s what they intended but I’ve noticed a trend of liberals immediately triangulating themselves into this “least-controversial” legalistic take because they don’t want to talk about Maduro. A stalinist waving a PSUV flag is more helpful at that point.

I’m not accusing you in particular of this or OP for that matter.

Why are you playing by conservative gotcha games then? Just say what you believe and say it as loud as you can. It is indeed a shouting match, not a debate.

I literally said I know you oppose the action. Put that on the sign, its the most important thing.

Liberals, please stop with leading with the legal minutiae. Stop pretending that you would’ve been fine with this if only Trump had congressional approval. You know it’s just about oil and imperialism. Trump literally spelt it out for you. Stop censoring yourself because you think its “strategic”. Its not.

That seems like a flight of stairs up.

Anubis forces the site to reload when doing the normal PoW challenge! Meta Refresh is a sufficient mouse to block 99% of all bot traffic without being any more burdensome than PoW.

You’ve failed to demonstrate why meta-refresh is more burdensome than PoW and have pivoted to arguing the point I was making from the start as though it was your own. I’m not arguing with you any further. I’m satisfied that I’ve convinced any readers of our discussion.

You will have people complain about their anti-fingerprinting being blocked with every bot-managment solution. Your ability to navigate the internet anonymously is directly correlated with a bots ability to scrape. That has never been my complaint about Anubis.

My complaint is that the calculations Anubis forces you to do are absolutely negligible burden for a bot to solve. The hardest part is just having a JavaScript interpreter available. Making the author of the scraper write custom code to deal with your website is the most effective way to prevent bots.

Think about how much computing power AI data centers have. Do you think they give a shit about hashing some values for Anubis? No. They burn more compute power than a thousand Anubis challenges generating a single llm answer. PoW is a backwards solution.

Please Think. Captchas worked because they’re supposed to be hard for a computer to solve but are easy for a human. PoW is the opposite.

In the current shape Anubis has zero impact on usability for 99% of the site visitors, not so with meta refresh.

Again, I ask you: What extra burden does meta-refresh impose on users? How does setting a cookie and immediately refreshing the page burden the user more than making them wait longer while draining their battery before doing the exact same thing? Its strictly less intrusive.
