A small but growing number of private companies selling digital tools to hack smartphones and messaging apps, like WhatsApp and Signal, are likely to benefit financially from the incoming Trump administration.

Umm, no, IPTV is NOT a crime. It's a protocol. An IPTV provider may be committing copyright infringement IF they're sourcing materials without permission from copyright holders. That's NOT the same thing as a protocol being illegal. The argument an application is illegal would be better reserved to applications connected to services and/or companies like Napster or LimeWire, but even in those cases it was NOT illegal for FrostWire (a fork of LimeWire) to be distributed even after the court found the LimeWire entity to be violating the law. The criminality was something along the logic that they advertised content early on that that they knew or should have known was not legally available through the system (assuming I'm thinking of the right case here). Napster was centrally controlled, LimeWire was not. LimeWire had an interesting bootstraping protocol that didn't rely on a central server (from what I recall) which is also why FrostWire (and possibly other clients) continued working after the LimeWire entity shut down.

The real reason government wants to and now has banned under 16s from social media in Australia has to do with it being an authoritarian state. This new law will force everyone to ID on social media, not just "youth", and maybe not even just those in Australia. Talk about Orwellian. Just to let everyone know we will NOT be introducing ID checks for ANY ONE on our social.freetalklive.com Mastodon instance. F' Australia.

Sometimes I wonder if people become hoarders because they have nosy parents who throw everything and anything out

Whoops we threw your shirt out and something you liked out ;^)

Thanksgiving dinner is a fucking waste. Even an entire family is not going to eat it all in one sitting and I doubt that you are going to eat all the leftovers before they go bad. Reheated turkey tastes extremely dry anyway, and you might be cooking another Turkey in just a few weeks for Christmas.

I'm not one of those vegans who will tell you not to have Thanksgiving dinner or to eat Turkey on thanksgiving dinner, but maybe you could cut down on the sides. Turkey is like 3x bigger than chicken, which is why it's only eaten on special occasions outside of deli meat, so you really don't need that many sides.

Pic attached is on the social media ban in Australia for 16 year olds and under. While I don't have a problem with that alone, it will necessitate the use of digital ID for any adult who wishes to use social media on the Internet, which is something everyone should have a problem with. It has passed the senate.

Labor and Liberal are our two main parties (analogous to democrats and republicans respectively). Every minor party of all political stripes voted against the bill. This is democracy manifest.

Does anybody have strength/body building guides that aren't schizo and/or just trying to sell you something? Mainly I need advice on nutrition

Christian Zionism is the most successful and destructive psyop in this country's history.

I am sick of so called "truthers" who take whatever Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan, Tim Pool, Paul Joseph Watson, and Alex Jones say as gospel. Granted, you shouldn't take anyone's word as gospel, but these are the most egregious example.

Will Trump (or any of his cabinet) fulfill any of his promises this time?

Marxist exploitation theory actually works if you just replace "capitalists" with "government".

Comment by @WallStreetApes: "This actually isn’t that far off from America “The government is stealing about 67% of the value of your labor.” in the UK

If you add up all the taxes we pay in America it’s probably close to 50%, add in inflation and then the extortion from BlackRock buying all our properties and raising rents and housing costs and you have Americans maybe getting 20% of their labor if they’re lucky" => https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/1862062627687428346

FACT: Taxation is theft by extortion.

Just a reminder ... don't get too sucked into the Trump-win optimism narrative ... the oligarch controlled corporatist uniparty is still firmly in control.

I don't know how much evidence people need to wake up to the fact that the oligarchs want a major population reduction and will go to any lengths to get it done.

Wars are the traditional way (and they are working on that!), but they also need to control the money outflows now as they've hollowed out the economies of the world. Cutting off funding and allowing people to die who've become dependent on State welfare is one of many avenues.
