  • Is making your own soap at home really worth it?

    Jump

  • Dial, Dove, and Ivory all sell unscented varieties of bar soap.

    I'm not a Costco shopper, but the Costco website suggests they carry only an extremely limited variety of bath soaps. Way more choices at your average grocery store, drug store, etc.

  • And no, the soap does not smell like bacon at all

    My disappointment Is immeasurable and my day is ruined

  • Sensing He's in Deep Trouble, Flock Safety CEO Says It's All Been a Big Misunderstanding

    Jump

  • That's not my attitude at all.

    The basic "they really are spying on you" issue at the heart of the Flock scandal has bubbled up before, abuses have come to light before, there was alarm and pushback before, and then nothing in particular changed before, and the surveillance came to be accepted as the status quo before.

    I don't want this go the same way. How can we connect this version to a bigger picture of freedom and liberty, instead of letting the news story run its course, letting it fade away, as has happened every other time?

  • ‘We detected unusual activity’: the scam that uses AI to exploit your holiday photos

    Jump

  • This was my attitude when I was younger. But as my financial arrangements have gotten more complicated, more intertwined with those of other people, as I've accumulated weird experiences straightening out banking problems, I can see that while there is wisdom in the rule, its never going to be enough. I'm human, I don't remember everything I need to remember.

    The scammers don't send out "link to confirm your bank details" because zillions of people are stupid, they do it because everyone is a little stupid sometimes.

  • So apparently Google will SPAM your self-hosted email just cuz **** you, that's why.

    Jump

  • Maybe the way to fight GMail's outsized power is to stop using GMail. You can do that without going all the way to self-hosting.

  • How Cyclospora Evaded the U.S. Food Safety System to Sicken Thousands

  • Sensing He's in Deep Trouble, Flock Safety CEO Says It's All Been a Big Misunderstanding

    Jump

  • The company has partnered with 6,000 law enforcement agencies and 1,000 private customers, leading to terrifying false arrests and even crooked cops stalking innocent women.

    How can we make people see that these problems were happening before anyone had heard of Flock? Flock is just amplifying the worst things about American policing.

    Flock isn't even the first system of surveillance cameras and ALPR cameras, they're just the first with national-scale panopticon ambitions.

  • Research: The whole Reddit has become more negative over time. Also, the longer the community exists, the more negative it get — and the longer a comment thread continues, the more negative it becomes

    Jump

  • Would a remark like this one count as positive or negative?

  • Trump Orders Navy to Spend Billions of Dollars Undoing Years of Work

    Jump

  • How do people see the pooper-in-chief meddling in small-potatoes stuff like this and see him as anything but a mentally-declining senior citizen? Is this any kind of issue a President should be concerning himself with? Is there nothing more important on his plate?

    If it's meant to be another stupid distraction, I'm sorry to say, it's working better than some of them.

  • CBP Workers Allegedly Used Government Databases to Spy on Exes, Crushes, and Colleagues

  • ...the records reveal the breadth of alleged database abuse by CBP employees...

    AKA "criminals." Committers of crimes.

    Jump

  • “If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, Max Miller fails them.”

    I see a tragic flaw in this proposition.

  • Facebook ads are so hard to block that uBlock Origin stopped filtering them

    Jump

  • In my rich fantasy life, this announcement is just a ruse, to get Facebook to drop its guard.

    Real life is never as good as my rich fantasy life though.

  • The security co-processor in many CPUs is insecure

    Jump

  • Aw heck I thought that spec said "insecurity coprocessor." My bad.

  • Boomer coded antedeluvian

    Jump

  • Do not try and move the potatoes. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth:

    There are no potatoes.

  • Hegseth was the only cabinet member with Trump while Rubio, Bessent were on decoy plane

    Jump

  • We're all calling the old custom 747 -- the one with all the gov-spec classified countermeasures, the one that's cost us $2 billion, the one that's full of real human civilians -- we're calling that the "decoy plane" now.

  • Why aren't they just making the new version better, so that people are happy to use it?

  • Trump hid in catering cart to board secret flight in Turkey amid Iran threat – reports

  • My instinct is that the non-rightwing-shill media are never going to be loud and dumb enough to reach his fans, to change the currents set up by the loud and dumb rightwing-shill media outlets.

    We would need every news outlet, every pundit, every talking head on the internet to tie him to his failures in a radically simplistic, one-sided, emotional way, 24/7, over and over again for years:

    "trump interferes with vaccines for children; why does trump hate America so much?"

    "trump wrecks international shipping with outburst of violence; why does trump hate America so much?"

    "trump covers up food contamination for political donors; why does trump hate America so much?"

    "trump sabotages American farmers with (tariffs / parasites); why does trump hate America so much?"

    "trump sabotages American military with (disease / shortages / ridiculous deployment requirements); why does trump hate America so much?"

    I'm doubtful that this will be possible.
