Miss Rachel is metal

• EFF and three labor unions are suing the Trump administration over alleged surveillance of visa holders and green-card holders’ social-media activity, including use of AI/automated tools.
• The lawsuit argues that monitoring and punishing people based on their political views violates the First Amendment and federal administrative law.
• Major development: a federal judge rejected the government’s attempt to dismiss the case, ruling that the court can hear it and that the unions have legal standing to sue.
• Next step: the lawsuit proceeds to discovery, where EFF expects to obtain more information about how the government’s surveillance program operates.

MapQuest... welcome to the resistance.

Tools that probably no one had heard of but are extremely helpful for Degoogling:

1. Sustysubs.net - A list of alternative services

3. LibreCuts - The only FOSS Android video editor for the professionals

• A video editor for Android that supports overlays and keyframes, which in my opinion, is the minimum requirment for a video editor to be "professional"

4. LibreFind - Community-driven app for finding alternative apps for Android

5. Pur.ili - Kagi if it was free

• Pur.ili is a private search engine that does not have big tech spy on you by secret. Unlike most "privacy friendly" search engines, like DuckDuckGo or Brave Search, this one has a completely independent index, meaning no contracts to big tech to let them spy on you by secret. The difference between this and Kagi? It doesn't require a paid subscription, so you can use it for free

I have in order of past to furure: the distant past, memory of the last specificly distinct dated event, recent past (roughly since), “last week” (i remember doing that), “yesterda” (last 3 days), earlier today”, last, current, next, today/hoperfully soon, and not any time soon

Seems like the fandom violently hates it, but it slaps. Yeah I've heard people say it would've been The Chain by Fleetwood Mac, but I've seen the edit and while it syncs up well it doesn't feel like JoJo. It's so solemn, which is probably the least appropriate tone for JoJo.

You know what is appropriate for JoJo? Weird goofy shit. You know what's weird and goofy? Japanese cowboy trap. I don't even like trap, but the outro slaps. The horse whinny samples are just chef's kiss.

Are people just hating because it's an original song?
