Fascism continues to sweep the world. Apparently loads of people find it really appealing.

Used Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 7 and 7 Pro can be found for reasonable prices these days. One of those in good condition would be a better buy because you’ll still get security patches for a while. Last time I looked, the third party OSs for Pixel phones only supported them for as long as Google did.

This guy just poked his head out to see what all the noise was and got shot twice. Israel seems to be shooting Palestinians indiscriminately.

I’m going to use this for my next order of crystalware and explosives.

There’s more information about the components of this system here:

There really isn’t much to this Holesail project - it’s a little convenience wrapper around Hyper DHT and that’s a part of this Pear project it seems. That site has a list of the various components and links to each one’s GitHub.

Pear looks like an interesting project but I haven’t looked through the details of how it works.

Apparently it’s a suspended sentence and they are not in custody, so no prison time will happen. Just business as usual for the exploiters.

Great that they’re using the GPLv3 license too.

It’ll make the sea nice and thick.

I see it’s fixed now with 0.19.5. Thank you!

It says something about the modern world that some of us read the headline and thought, “Oh, have the Nazis reached that stage already?”

Does anyone else find that the cross-post function no longer works after the upgrade? Clicking the cross-post icon brings up the form correctly, but as soon as you select the language or the community, the form clears itself.

“We will not tolerate individuals using masks to evade responsibility for criminal or threatening behavior,” Hochul said on Thursday, adding that “on a subway, people should not be able to hide behind a mask to commit crimes”.

Maybe she should consider addressing the committing crimes part instead of the wearing masks part.

In some cases, this will mean prioritizing security

Sounds like the old Microsoft attitudes are alive and well.

Well this one depends on negative mass, which is, as far as I know, no less weird and speculative than dark matter.

A tiny amount for such a large corporation. The only message this sends to them is that it’s worth employing death squads.

The UK under the Tories is all in on support for the genocide. And Keir Starmer isn’t one to rock the boat. His priority seems to be stamping out anything good in the Labour Party.

I think the main take on this is to learn the lesson that it is not safe to install random software you come across online. Is this lesson new, though?

I think people often have a vaguely formed assumption that plugins are somehow sandboxed and less dangerous. But that all depends on the software hosting the plugin. There was a recent issue with a KDE theme wiping a user’s files which brought this to light. We can’t assume plugins or themes are any less dangerous than random executables.

Another key quote:

"It needs to be like a surgical operation, like a brain operation,” [Hagari] said.

This man would be the worst brain surgeon.

All malicious extensions detected by the researchers were responsibly reported to Microsoft for removal. However, as of writing this, the vast majority remains available for download via the VSCode Marketplace.

Ah, the Microsoft tradition of always having the wrong priorities.
