#Milwaukee County Circuit Judge #HannahDugan was arrested April 25 by federal authorities who are investigating whether she tried to help an #UndocumentedImmigrant avoid arrest after he appeared in her courtroom last week, officials confirmed.

#FBI Director #KashPatel posted on the #Xitter about the arrest. He later deleted the post.

I mostly agree with this thread but regarding the tension between the protocols, working on and helping to grow one vs the other has an opportunity cost. It also might help lock in people to another system that when it goes evil, there will be a lot of problems with trying to move people again like we're having with #xitter. Eventually many might give up on social media or not believe any such network can remain good. It's very frustrating. #SocialWeb

If the Swasticar makers are doing this, are they also manipulating readouts to prompt Tesla owners to bring in their cars for "servicing" when there is actually nothing wrong? Tesla has opened a big can of worms here.
This is DOGE and Donald Trump.

Odometer with 99999 miles
Ars Technica · Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claimsBy Jonathan M. Gitlin

Tesla is facing a class action suit in California for hacking its car odometers to more quickly reach the limits of Tesla's vehicle warranty.
These are the geniuses Leon has also employed for DOGE. They are so smart that they decide to pull a fraud that is clearly measurable (and noticeable) and easily confirmed. Maybe this will put Tesla in the ground.

I've spent WAY too much time arguing with an anti-EV nob on #Lemmy over the last few days.

I just eyebrow raised over someone claiming removal of #Ghiblitheft #AI images on #Mastodon was censorship.

I think Fedi has "arrived" folks. The #trolls are here. They are small in numbers for sure, but given the echo chambers places like #Xitter must be now, and FB hopefully has less active users given how hate speech is now actively approved there, then some shitheads have gone looking for a fight with ethical people elsewhere.

Sigh.

Sie konnten das Getöse nicht verstehen. X war für sie genau wie es schon immer gewesen war.

Sie überschritten letztenendes zwar doch eine Grenze, aber das war lange nachdem sie realisiert hatten, dass die Grenze von denen gezogen worden war, die schon gegangen waren.
