Trump thought his “little” Iran stunt would burry the epstein business, only to be backstabbed by his own wife. Very nice.

I’d actually caution against buying suspiciously cheap drives. There has been an epidemic of scammers selling (heavily) used drives as new.

Wasn’t there a post recently complaining about an AI coding agent wanting to stop working consistently? Maybe that’s related.

One idea I’ve seen floated was a certificate-based authentication. Providers that know your age by design, such as banks, could hand out certificates in bulk. That way, only those institutions would know that you have received certificates, but they can’t tell for what exactly. Source: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/114852402217569321

Or, and hear me out, Trump could stop his temper tantrum he calls a war and then the Strait of Hormuz would be unblocked. Don’t make Ukraine responsible for everyone else’s mistakes.

I call myself an ally of Ukraine. Hit them more! Make them hurt!

Broke: Zelensky conspiracies
Woke: Obviously, Zelensky has spies in Putin’s government

The truth, which you would know if you ever got out of your information bubble, I recommend DylanBurnsTV on YouTube by the way, is that Putin doesn’t care how many thousands of peasants or foreigners tricked into the war he has to kill to grind forwards. It’s the literal definition of zerg tactics.

On the other hand you have the US, where dear old Donny has developed a taste for regime change after Venezuela went so smoothly for him, while the US population, even MAGAts, has no desire to be dragged into a war. A proper ground invasion will not be accepted, high loss of life will not be accepted. Iran only needs to be able to fire drones at ships or bases occasionally to keep the heat on, while Trump has declared Regime change and total surrender of Iran his goal. Donny is simply delusional about what he can achieve in Iran without facing wide-spread protest.

That said, it is true that Israel and the US have complete air control and have heavily degraded Iran’s capability at conventional warfare. Something the Russians have not and will not achieve.

And that is just the domain of war-making. When it comes to disinformation campaigns, the Russians are the clear winner. Have you not read the recently released news that Orban was live-texting Lavrow updates on EU discussions on how to support Ukraine? There is a mole in the EU and Nato thanks to, in no small part, the Russian disinformation campaigns.

Russia runs giant misinformation campaigns in order to destabilize western countries. And the election of Trump shows that they’re getting worth their money. And if noone stands to oppose Russia, Putin can do as he pleases. And right now, the most we get from western countries is a halfhearted attempt at supplying Ukraine. Russia is failing to take Ukraine, but they are still inflicting high losses on Ukrainian civilians. If Putin can flip western nations, he can grind away at Ukraine and then the baltics, without much opposition.

I feel like this is giving him too much credit. His cronies are dismantling democracy. He’s just being steered from “issue” to “issue” like he’s in a wheelchair.

Thing is, Trump doesn’t even be around “normal” people. There’s a reason why he owns golf resorts with astronomical membership fees (apart from earning money, of course).

Haven’t had the opportunity yet, but Firefox allows you to block the page visibility API. I wonder if that circumvents these Twitch shenanigans.

I don’t know more than what the wiki article linked to. It says UBlock blocks it. It doesn’t say any more than that.

Archive.today apparently hijacks visitor’s browsers to DDoS a blog that tried to uncover the identity of the archive’s admin. UBlock helps to stop that script.

Like in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, DHS might have gotten away with its false claims about Martinez were it not for the video evidence that contradicted its account.

Unless they are suffering (capital) punishment, they continue to get away with it.

We are “lucky”, that the Trump admin is so open about their imperialistic goals. To quote them directly, they want to exert control over “their” hemisphere.

I guess they want to insinuate that Andromeda killed Mass Effect. While Andromeda certainly got a studio killed, the game itself is actually pretty good in my opinion.

Piss baby Musk should take his final breath under a bridge with nothing to his name. That would be fair.

He is right, but most will choose convenience. And I do believe that people in the future will suffer for it. The brain is like a muscle; you have to use it to keep your mind sharp. I fear that in the future will lack critical thinking or frustration tolerance because AI makes it so easy.

It went through the house, it is not yet approved. And for 8 months now, Ukraine has gotten no support from the US.
