What kind of take is this? Fuck cops and fuck soldiers

China’s humanoid robot makers commanded more than 97% of global shipments in the first half of 2026, according to new industry data affirming the country’s early lead against US rivals in the burgeoning field.

Global humanoid robot shipments totaled roughly 19,100 units in the first half of 2026, more than triple the 5,100 units shipped in the same period last year, according to data from Smart Analytics Global. The California-based research firm expects shipments to rise to around 60,000 units this year and reach half a million by 2030

This is a summary. It was the only way I could find to bypass the paywall

Newly disclosed records reveal the US government extensively spied on prominent leftwing organizations and on protesters as part of a vast operation into groups opposing the immigration crackdown in Minnesota earlier this year.

Internal investigative reports show the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sent undercover agents to community meetings in the Twin Cities and New York City, infiltrated Signal chats and obtained financial records of mainstream unions and left-leaning non-profit groups.

Nearly 30 internal law enforcement reports were released on Thursday as part of a criminal case the Department of Justice (DoJ) has filed against 15 Minneapolis protesters. The defendants are accused of a “conspiracy” to “impede” US immigration officers during the Trump administration’s surge in the region.

The DHS investigative reports were disclosed by the government and submitted to the court by an attorney for one of the defendants. The records show that in January, DHS launched an inquiry called “Operation Puppet Master” to identify a “network of conspirators” organizing against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The operation came as community organizing against ICE was swelling in the region in response to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

A DHS report from February said the agency was looking into people who were “providing material support to violent opportunists and agitators”. The records suggest agents launched elaborate spying efforts targeting activists, protesters and mainstream progressive organizations opposing the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

“I was shocked at the scope and the apparent lack of investigative discipline involved, but not totally surprised,” said Kevin Riach, an attorney for one of the indicted protesters, who filed the tranche of records in federal court.

DHS spokespeople did not respond to inquiries and the DoJ declined to comment.

There's more there, but the formatting is stopping me from copying it all and it's late....

People get pretty elitist when it comes to companies in this space. Proton has it's faults, but it is light years better than google and is offering precisely what you want.

Its easy to sit high and criticize when your hosting everything yourself (I'm guilty of this too), but if you just need to move away from google, proton is vastly better and under one Eco system.

NextCloud was already called out. Its a viable option, but the photos from my self hosting experience suck. Once you get past a certain size, the library chokes on itself.

Idk if I had a nice GPU that wouldn't be the case, so maybe a paid sub will work out just fine.

Same...like read the title and instantly was confused he's not dead...

When youre at home with a clean toilet, treat yourself and sit to pee

Yeah, we'll just keep voting for the same thing we've been voting for 20 years now. Maybe this time it'll be different.

Violet comes and goes frequently, but when she's here we get a glimpse into her sexual escapades and strange family dynamics through a constant stream of posts that reach the top. Then she deletes her account and comes back with a new name containing violet in it somewhere a few weeks later. Its honestly quite entertaining, and frankly would be much less so if it weren't for the stop start. I kind of forget about them in the lulls, then one day start thinking, Jesus lemmy is horny today. and finally notice all the horny posts are violets return

I honestly can't recall. Probably?

Growing up evangelical I saw it all the time. Very regular occurrence

I thought like a modern day Andre dubus

I was literally taught there was a 31 year gap between the ages, because evangelicals are special
