  • THC gummies and drinks face ban under provision in government spending bill

    Jump

  • That’s correct. This proposition closes the loophole used to sell hemp-derived THC products, but it does not impact anything statutorily defined as “marijuana”. That’s still federally illegal but permitted on a per-state basis

  • THC gummies and drinks face ban under provision in government spending bill

    Jump

  • The 2018 Farm Bill revised the statutory definitions of "marijuana" and "hemp". Hemp products contain less than 0.3% D9 THC by dry weight, and anything else is considered marijuana. This loophole has allowed companies to sell intoxicating products containing other forms of THC like D8 without adhering to the same regulations that legal marijuana faces, or in states where marijuana is still illegal. The new bill expands the definition of hemp to include all forms of THC and sets a 0.4-mg limit per package, effectively outlawing hemp-derived THC products. This does not impact the classification of marijuana, which is still federally illegal but available on a per-state basis.

  • THC gummies and drinks face ban under provision in government spending bill

    Jump

  • To be clear, this proposition would ban hemp-derived THC. Gas stations and head shops shouldn’t be selling unregulated products like that anyway. Most of them are probably unfit for consumption.

    That said, as the article points out, this provision would have consequences beyond Delta-8 vape carts and the like. I think the correct approach is federal legalization.

  • I think that a simple donation for the NTP Project violates privacy

    Jump

  • It’s required by US law for organizations to collect this data on donors. It’s also to your own benefit, as most charitable donations are taxed deductible 

  • My Dream of a Home Router / Server

    Jump

  • I share this pipe dream. Increased awareness of and access to self-hosted services encourages decentralization, reduces our reliance on massive data centers, and empowers the public to own their data. For the hobbyist, I think this is already in reach.

    However, in order for such a system to succeed in the wider market, it needs to also be cheap and convenient. Even a Raspberry Pi goes for around $80 these days, and storage is becoming more expensive by the day thanks to AI companies. iCloud storage is only 99 cents a month. If, for example, ISPs were to bundle this software and storage with their modem hardware, it could happen. Hell, they could even charge a small fee to provide you with a publicly accesible domain.

  • I wrote a simple tool chain called 'gem2web' for creating HTML pages for my self-hosted website. I released it publically under GPL3. Source linked inside. (python+shell)

  • Very cool. Reminds me of the Madness markdown server.

  • Does Cloudflare provide anonymity?

    Jump

  • According to W3Techs, Cloudflare is used for 80.9% of all known reverse proxy endpoints which account for 19.8% of the entire Internet. It’s safe to say it’s used to host both legal and illegal content with that broad of a scope.

    They are an American company and must cooperate with law enforcement when abuse is reported. If you’re planning on hosting pirated content, that most definitely violates their terms of service and will get you in trouble.

  • What are you guys using to sort and name music?

    Jump

  • The Music app (also called Apple Music, formerly iTunes) is a library manager at its core. You don’t need an Apple Music subscription to use it. It runs on macOS and Windows.

  • What are you guys using to sort and name music?

    Jump

  • If you’re an Apple household, Apple Music (iTunes) is still great. I don’t pay for streaming services; I buy music on iTunes/Bandcamp and rip CDs.

    Apple Music has a fantastic interface for managing metadata, creating playlists, and performing complex batch jobs with AppleScript. I sync my iPhone and iPod Nano every time I add a new album, and I host my media folder on NextCloud for listening on other devices.

  • Love the evolution! How are you measuring the power consumption of your devices? I’d be interested in profiling my build as well.

  • Honestly, I don’t think Snaps are so bad. Canonical’s top market is enterprise, and Snaps are ideal for deploying applications in these environments. If you’re an end-user, you can literally just uninstall the runtime

  • Proton is vibe coding some of its apps.

  • But what does that have to do with consumer privacy?

  • I’m not sure why being a “privacy vendor” forbids you from using AI tools in your development process

  • To amend the Controlled Substances Act to require electronic communication service providers and remote computing services to report to the Attorney General certain controlled substances violations.

    Jump

  • The bill suggests that violations may be “discovered through content moderation conducted by a human or via a non-human method, including use of an algorithm, machine learning, or other means.” Automated snooping on people’s private correspondence should constitute unlawful search. Fuck that.

  • The Astronomer CEO's Coldplay Concert Fiasco Is Emblematic of Our Social Media Surveillance Dystopia | 404 Media

    Jump

  • Yeah… I am not sure how much this incident has to do with facial recognition or media surveillance. You went to a large concert for a globally known artist, where you can reasonably expect hundreds of cameras owned by both individuals and the venue. You brought your side piece, started touching all up on her. Recall the Jumbotron, which is famously used to highlight couples. Then you act shocked… That’s how you win stupid prizes

  • A case for an Immich Flatpak

    Jump

  • My understanding is that Flatpaks are generally reserved for GUI applications and not command-line tools or servers. I’m not sure it’s the ideal format for Immich.

    That said—and I’m probably going to get hate for this—there is an Immich snap package that does just what you’re looking for.

  • iCloud for Linux

  • This package is essentially comprised of web apps which open in their own windows. It will not have the deep system integration that you may be used to on native MacOS. You could use this, or you could use iCloud in your browser like one might do with GSuite
