thank you OP for allowing me the opportunity to read this entire image here on lemmy prior to seeing the creator’s mastodon username, so that i could believe it was real for a minute :)
(for anyone unfamiliar with it, check out her other amazing work…)
also ping and thankyou to @NanoRaptor@bitbang.social (in case mentions on lemmy notify mastodon users?)
now do gtkmm
Yeah, thinking about it more, it’s not really that weird to call adults of any age “kid”, and it’s somewhat common when talking about people substantially younger than oneself. it is maybe more common when referring to men though? 🤔
“Hire this kid”, says [redacted] about hacktivist-turned-snitch Hector “Sabu” Monsegur. Guys can still be kids even past 30.

seriously. there are fakes floating around, so screenshots of alleged docs without a link are indeed dubious. If you want to verify something though, the documents on the DOJ website are currently searchable: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/search (but of course some have also been deleted after being published…)
In this case, the close coinciding of epstein's first meeting with moot and the creation of /pol/ is in fact substantiated:
It’s not loading for me.
the site is probably overloaded right now due to being in the news today because a whistleblower just gave them details about 4500 more agents: https://web.archive.org/web/20260113174554/https://www.thedailybeast.com/personal-details-of-thousands-of-border-patrol-and-ice-goons-allegedly-leaked-in-huge-data-breach/

the replies on xcancel say only a few thousand $ were at stake, so seems pretty unlikely it was actually intentional

tldr from that blog's assessment:
First, the researchers have a high degree of credential credibility. […] These are very much not software engineers who think they’ve solved alchemy after talking with ChatGPT for a year or something.
[…]
Optimistically, in my mind this leaves about 10% odds that fusion energy becomes commercialized or at least piloted over the next couple decades and Marathon Fusion’s approach for the alchemical production of gold becomes a meaningful consideration for these fusion plants! That’s pretty high, and implies a high value for continuing to research this technology, even if not necessarily for Marathon Fusion specifically. Manifold [a prediction market] traders are giving this proposition (“Artificially produced gold on a significant scale by 2035?”) ~20% odds, which likely reflects the discount rate on a market that only resolves in 10 years, although it also leaves room for other potential methodologies for gold production (presumably also through fusion energy but who knows).

Oh ya, this Gold is Radioactive

I guess you missed my earlier comment in this thread; to reiterate: some devices will now get online via your neighbors’ devices even if you don’t give them wifi access.
Just… don’t connect them to the internet? Or if you must connect them for dumb shit like system updates, put them behind some access control where the only access they have is the server they get updates from.
I regret to inform you that preventing devices from getting online is getting more difficult: three years ago Amazon began allowing other companies’ products to use their BLE-and-LoRa-based mesh network to get online via your neighbors’ internet-connected devices.
that little triangle means you need to click on the the text in the comment to read the rest of it, because it’s wrapped in a spoiler tag. also fyi you can search twitter without a login using xcancel.com; it takes much less than 5 minutes to do so.
Reminds me of this scene in Bowling for Columbine where the brother of Oklahoma City bombing accomplice Terry Nichols reluctantly concedes that there should be some limits to the right to bear arms.
