Okay, be a dumbass. Why don’t you fork yourself?

There is plenty of space between absolute trust and its contrapositive.

Was it revealed, or did Tucker Carlson assert this with no evidence? Because what comes out of his mouth is usually bullshit.

History shows that you shouldn’t automatically trust encryption technologies from the US government.

• Scientific American: NSA Efforts to Evade Encryption Technology Damaged U.S. Cryptography Standard
• Washington Post: How the CIA used Crypto AG encryption devices to spy on countries for decades

“Feel,” “happy,” “comfortable”… Privacy doesn’t care about your feelings.

And it has also been revealed that american feds are able to read everyone’s push notifications and they do this as mass surveillance.

Speaking of the feds, it was they who funded the creation of Signal, which is one of the reasons it ought not be trusted.

I couldn’t say how it got there, but it’s a standard & common Unix pattern and unlikely to be malicious. It will have no effect if the ~/.bashrc.d directory doesn’t exist. If it does exist, then each file in the directory will be sourced.

Requisite Miss Congeniality bit.

My guess is it’s because that’s the order in which we usually say dates in English: September twentieth, twenty-twenty-four.

ISO-8601 / RFC-3339 is clearly superior, but at least DD/MM/YYYY has a rational ordering, unlike MM/DD/YYYY.

Are we getting caught in an information trap when it comes to Ukraine?

A.K.A. a bubble.

This wouldn’t be unusual — it’s what happened in the run-up to the post-9/11 Iraq war, when American and British media were arguably far too unquestioning of Western officials’ claims that Saddam Hussein was awfully close to having a nuclear bomb or had a huge stockpile of weapons of mass destruction.

I wasn’t fooled twenty years ago, either.

Unfortunately, it seems we’re now in danger of repeating this very same mistake, as we all too quickly dub those who question current Western strategy as defeatists or accuse them of advancing Russian propaganda.

We’ve been called Russian bots relentlessly for the last 2.5 years.

Problem is, we’re not hearing these counter-arguments enough in mainstream Western publications, or at the high-level conferences that bring Western and Ukrainian officials together — like last weekend’s annual Yalta European Strategy (YES) Conference held in Kyiv.

And yet it’s the socialists who are told they’re living in a bubble.

This is a terrible metric. If kWh is too abstract for people, maybe put it in terms of how much water that energy could boil, starting from room temperature at sea level.

I don’t know Hockstader—maybe he really drinks the Kool Aid—but either way, to stray from the party line is career limiting and may not get past WaPo’s editors.

And that’s why you always leave a note.

Yesterday at !opensource@lemmy.ml:
Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months

Oh my god, we’re having a fire! …sale.

MB/FC is such a joke.

What little I know about about today’s Iraq comes from Hakim’s personal stories on The Deprogram podcast.

I think the US military can’t get out soon enough. I hope Iraq joins BRICS, dedollarizes, and has continued success with BRI. The neocolonial ^* imperial core^* is no one’s ally, and is in decline.

Good luck with that, reporter: Palestinian right of armed resistance

[UN] General Assembly resolution A/RES/38/17 (22/11/1983) stated that it “Reaffirms the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for their independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial domination, apartheid and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle”.

Did this post even make sense in the original German, before you passed it through a bad translator? 😂

How the fuck did Israel think this was a good idea?

Probably for the same reason it thinks committing genocide is a good idea.
