What you don’t want to see the US and Russia pooping back and forth forever?

They don’t actually want to deter it, they want to pay for its harmful impacts.

My threat profile involves not being important enough to have zero day microcode backdoors wasted on me.

So physical access is indeed root access? I for one am shocked.

It’s also very easy to find absolutely disgusting boiled peanuts

A source for my lived experience? Or do you mean an example?

I have been banned from .ml twice for stating that Russia shot down a civilian airliner over Ukraine - a matter of incontrovertible fact which has absolutely nothing to do with any leftist theory, as far as my masters degree in political science can discern.

He basically only makes “why everyone except me is wrong about X” content now, and it’s super smug and obnoxious.

Tankies have literally adopted the same rhetoric as MAGA. It could not be more obvious that leftist spaces are absolutely infested with this.

Just to add that proper mesh systems are distinct from extenders as they will use separate mesh channels for back haul. They also have the “travel AP” things which act as extenders but form a new network on a different channel. You can actually do this with many Android phones as well.

Google search AI mode says “no information” but Gemini in the app says that “some Doctors have speculated” about signs of cognitive decline.

Especially since this has been an identity theft scam for decades. People post fake, too good to be true, rental listings on Craigslist and the application asks for SSN and a “family reference” (asking for mother’s maiden name) and a weirdly small deposit paid by check. Now you’ve got all the info you need to steal someone’s identity. And I assume this kind of thing has gotten more sophisticated in the digital realm since I was last renting.

Yes you literally need to bring wipes around with you. Things are slowly changing but for a long time there was no TP in any bathroom stall outside of fancy hotels and maybe high end restaurants.

I’ve been to China many times, and this is arguably the least offensive TP situation.

The implication is that it’s operating as a general purpose mobile botnet of sorts, and there is likely someone out there selling services on it. It seems like someone was using it for swatting (which is how they found it), and others may have been using it for spam and forum bots. The narrative that it was specifically a tool for attacking cellular infrastructure is a bit misleading. It might have been useful for that but as far as well know it was never used that way.

Or just don’t use tiktok

I declare it!

Agreed - I really hate doing this “next generation bad” thing, but this really is a different situation than what we’ve seen before. The way the Internet creates a feedback loop of extremism around every single topic is terrifying, and people are completely missing the profound effects this is having on developing brains - priming them for radicalization while critical thought atrophies.

When we grew up we had a set of influences which grounded us in reality. Even if we found subversive places on the Internet, we still spent most of our time with our parents and teacher and coaches, etc. This is completely inverted now. Kids traverse the internet like a dog sniffing out idiotic ideas, and when they find the validation they seek, there’s seemingly no way to pull it out of them.

What’s the point of anything you aren’t immediately good at?

I thought conservatives don’t like cancel culture

Reminder that Ground news exists entirely to push a “both sides” narrative in a world where right wing media openly seeks to push “alternative facts” and big lies.
