You can’t do full-disk encryption without the signed driver, and Microsoft is preventing them signing the driver for new releases. So Microsoft is making it impossible for them to publish updates for the Windows versions of their software.

On Melania’s role this bit stands out:
“Something was clearly wrong, but I am not part of any evil mission involving children. So what did you do, Melania? You tried to involve me, but you failed — because I have character.”


I like the way just about anyone here will score at least 80% on that list. I think I get a perfect grade, as long as “extremism” means wanting to treat people with kindness and respect.


There’s a lot of sanity coming out of Spain these days.

Doesn’t “decentralized” describe that application’s architecture? It means it doesn’t depend on central servers to send and receive messages. It’s not a claim about the organization that maintains it.


Microslop, who bundle their OS with a competing encryption product that probably has government backdoors, “accidentally” shutting out open source encryption software. Nothing to see here. Perfectly legitimate business behavior.


For anyone unfamiliar:


Netanyahu is a liar and a danger to the world. “Most moral army” is a sick joke. The IDF are villains, not heroes.
Spain’s government actually seems to have some principles and speak the truth about Israel and the other fascist powers spreading death and destruction.
It has to be AI-generated.


People can’t tell it’s sarcasm because every day we encounter people who would say exactly these stupid things in earnest.


If a physics simulation doesn’t agree exactly with experimental data, it is often difficult to figure out why and tweak the model until they agree. With AI, incorporating a few experimental examples into the training process is a lot more straightforward, and it’s not necessary to understand where exactly the model went wrong.
That’s not too bad if it’s only ever used as a rough guide in the early stages of design, with proper testing done later. But do we trust corporations not to get lazy and pressure their engineers to skip the accurate tests altogether, especially when they can then brag to their investors that AI is replacing expensive engineer time? What would Boeing’s management want to do with this tech?


With browser fingerprinting and data brokers we should assume that any website we visit has enough information to lead an interested party to our real identity, even if you hide your IP address. Add to that AI analysis of your writing style, the times when you post, the profile of your interest in various subreddits, and any clues you let slip in your comments. If they want to find you and you didn’t take special steps to disguise yourself, they won’t have much trouble.


If only everyone had warned him again and again that this would happen.


Around 100 sites in the country were bombed in one 10-minute period alone in what the IDF dubbed “Operation Eternal Darkness.”
Israel needs an “are we the baddies?” moment.


It’s like the US official who told the Pope he was wrong because the USA has more weapons than he does. Fascists don’t appreciate truth or morality, just force.


Everyone except Slow Joe and his audience.


“The United States,” Colby said, according to a blistering new report by The Free Press, “has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.”
Yes, you have lots of guns and bombs and you’re very big and strong. But the Pope was offering a moral criticism. You know, about morality, doing the right thing. Have you or your “Christian” colleagues ever heard of it? Turns out it doesn’t often align with who is most eager and equipped to kill anyone who looks at them the wrong way. Even Jesus (heard of him?) had a thing or two to say about that.
He lost the war weeks ago.


Rein. No one wants to reign in a dog.
It’s exactly what we can expect from tech companies these days.
