It seems like the headline is deliberately written to be funny (I did get a good laugh out of it) and the actual event isn't quite as nottheoniony. My understanding is that the court faced the question of whether the lawsuit could proceed against the doctor individually, or against the insurance company. It's bizzare but rather unsurprising and understandable that the lawyers of a doctor faced with such a claim would try, even if it's likely to fail, to have it pushed via the insurance company.

The court made the right decision of course, but this just seems like business as usual for lawsuits.

Copying is not theft. Letting only massive and notoriously untransparent corporations control an emerging technology is.

Benzene is used to make a large portion of all chemicals in existence, as it is a basic building block of organic chemistry. That doesn't mean it's in the final product.

This is an asinine headline capitalizing on scientific illiteracy for clickbait. No different than complaining about dihydrogen monoxide in food.

It's unfortunate that the other users are ignoring your actual question... You should still be able to bind qbittorrent to the wireguard interface, and you definitely MUST do so in order to make sure you're safe (if the VPN drops, you don't want it to fall back on your normal connection). If you aren't sure what the wireguard interface is names, try running ip a before and after activating the VPN connection and compare them.

Port forwarding allows other users to connect directly to your torrent client. Without it, it's much more difficult for you to connect to other people who aren't port forwarded (though not impossible if there's a third, mutually connected client who can facilitate initiating the connection). Things will generally still work without it, but youll connect to fewer people, so it might be slower. And if you're downloading rare torrents, you might have to be patient and wait for someone else to join and facilitate the connection

It also might appear lower due to people using vpns for for torrenting on residential networks

Just use silica gel packets

Zip uses very bad encryption that is vulnerable to a known plaintext attack. Do not ever use PKZIP encryption for any purpose https://github.com/kimci86/bkcrack

I think it would be reasonable to defederate from blahaj.zone. A majority of the toxic, negative, and aggressive comments I see on Lemmy seem to come from users of either blahaj or hexbear. The admin very intentionally curates a cult-like community by posting provocative posts and then banning everyone who expresses even slight disagreement. They have engaged in and doubled down on false accusations of CP against the lemmynsfw admins, which demonstrates that they are a risk for other instances be federated with. I normally very strongly oppose dedederation, but I think blahaj is a great example of when it makes sense. This is because the admin seems intent on starting drama rather than working with other instances to resolve conflict. It almost feels like some form of religious extremism lol

I of course block the instance from my account to avoid seeing posts from there, but toxic users are still visible on comments.

Israel's right to defend itself

This is one of the dumbest dogwhistles in existence. Everyone knows that's not the actual point of contention.

Obscenity law needs to be eliminated entirely at this point. It's archaic entirely. Luckily, convicting under the Miller test is rare since pretty much everything has "serious artistic or political value", but these laws shouldn't be on the books at all. Needless violation of the first amendment to punish victimless crimes.

Lmfao, this is exactly what conservatives think all socialists are. Tankies are such terrible optics for advancing the left

Just use the nicotine-plus client for soulseek instead. It's much more stable, and it's foss
