For those that are interested into USA history/war crimes, there is also the podcast Blowback, covering Iraq, Cuba, Korea, Afghanistan as well as mentionning Guatemala and other covert/illegal actions, I highly recommend!

Warning, dont listen to those if you could be easily radicalized ;)

Which, let’s not kid ourselves, is way worse that Israel.

Since I have not seen it yet in the comments, I use Floorp, a Firefox fork with some nice UI improvements (and apparently some performance improvements, but both are very fast for me).

5$ on the US meddling again with other countries’ policies to protect their capitalist interests…

I see why his take on this is the antipod of yours, but you clearly won’t achieve anything by so easily shifting to aggression and leaving the discussion on a tantrum.

Treat the symptoms, not the cause.

But in the case of NATO, don’t treat anything.

No no no, you got it all wrong. Using drones/planes to kill military (and pretty often civilian) targets on another country’s territory is an act of war only if you are not the US.

Otherwise how could they keep track of all the countries they would be at war with…

Even a “traditional” password would have a “list” that attackers could know (all the possible characters that can be used in a password), now compare this set of ±150 characters with the set of possible words that can be used (probably close to 250k per language if you take out some similarities).

Even with only 4 words, the number of possibilities is astounding.

Thanks! I had not heard about it.

It seems to only consider GNOME as the official DE and seem to not have the “blend” integrations of different distro.

Might not be for me but I appreciate the reply and it might help others.

I’m in the same boat, Kinoite (or rather my own blue build of it) killed my distro-hopping. But fans of Arch might be interested in the upcoming immutable arch-based OS: BlendOS

What’s your point?

Up voted for the well played irony!

While English is most of the time the lowest common denominator, I love to see some variety!

I don’t have anything to add, but I wanted to thank you, OP, for the comments/links in the thread.

“us”

You have no clue what you are talking about.

Even if you would come up with some gopros in fancy casing, 8-9h/day of uncompressed, 1080p video that has to be hosted “in the cloud” (and transferred via 4g or the) for each and every cop adds up pretty quickly.

And don’t mind that they surely find every way possible to break them, so take them as basically consumables along with the batteries and the casings…

Do you have any idea how everything cops use is expensive, because it’s “for law enforcement”?

60k$/yr is negligible in a department’s budget and especially for the value it adds (even with POS cops).

EDIT: the videos are most certainly compressed! But my argument is that it still remains pretty large files to upload and host.

Just replace social score with credit score and voila.

I’ve known some guys that are working for one of those “Financial data brokers” like the one Mint uses.

I thought that there was something fancy to actually link your bank account and whatever budgeting app you want to use, like some Oauth or API token…

In reality, you basically give your (plaintext) credentials to this entity which then uses them to open a session with your bank and parse the webpage. If there was some MFA used it forwarded the request back to you and if there was some robot check blocking the connection, they would have employees take control of the session and do the physical clicking on the webpage…

Not saying that all Fin data brokers work like that, but I can confirm that’s the way one of the major ones did work internally 4-5 years back .

Thank you for sharing.

Lift the sanctions, but please keep prohibiting US American tourism. This is one of the few “close by” (for me in Quebec) vacation place that still has a different vibe.
