Unclear from the article but, while a bit pedantic, this sounds more like it was potentially a DDoS attack rather than a proper “hack”.

From a protest standpoint though, what about all the tourists that are staying in normal hotels? Targeting tourists truly in general, just seems kind of dubious.

Kind of building on the D&D subject, if you look up your local game stores that have playspace, they probably have a calendar on their website listing lots of “Open Play” events or something similar. Mine also has craft/hobby nights.

You normally just show up to these and play.

The card and army based games may expect you to have your own stuff, but I would get in touch with somebody because a lot of the time there’s going to be somebody who will let you try the game with their stuff and teach you how to play in hopes of getting you interested long-term.

Most game shops host some games that are open to people signing up.

At one of my local stores, they specifically have the “D&D Adventure League” once a week. It does have a $5 entry fee.

Ok, this doesn’t sound too crazy in context.

They aren’t owners, they are suing to be released from their lease contracts because they feel they suffered “direct and concrete” damage from the way Teslas are now associated with “Elon Musk’s actions”.

In some circumstances the company also gets a cut of rebate. I don’t know about anything that may or may not be going on in the US on this front, but in Canada Tesla’s been under scrutiny because they submitted a bunch of forms last minute claiming sales that did not look legitimate, just before the Canadian program ended.

I really love this image for this, that expression combo is perfection.

If you saw any of the posts about people getting weird DMs from a woman, “the fediverse chick” may ring a bell, her supposed name was Nichole. If none of that sounds familiar, just search “fediverse chick” and I’m sure you’ll find some posts.

If you have the money to rent a second place you have the money to install sound specific insulation. I’m sure your new house insulation is fine for it’s intended job of thermal insulation but efficient and effective sound insulation is a whole different thing. Pick a room or two and get them upgraded.

I would say there is a meta element to this kind of attack that is less directly about public perception, though that exists, and more about the target’s perception and how “they” want to be seen. And yeah everything influences everything else but that level of rabbit holing is rarely constructive. // I also think this is less about foot fetishism in specific anyway and more about Trump being sexually subservient to Musk, this is just about as graphic as you can get with the concept while remaining PG-ish, or at least public display safe.

Thought it was a prank and one was going to actually have CoD in it.

CachyOS here for the moment.

Teams has the custom emojis if your admin enables them.

Short term, bigger may be better for initial discoverability and federation.

It is.

No wonder he was trying to cut corners! How else was he going to catch up?

That’s what the de-eyeing tip of the vegetable peeler is for.

Ditto

1. Lots of toxicity and bad takes.
2. It isn’t literally the entire instance.

Everyone’s an adult, nothing’s weird until things get weird.
