The most powerful country in the world is a large disinformation piñata. You whack it with a few memes and poor decisions come out.
You can’t fault hostile intelligence for giving it a go, and there are a lot of hostile intelligence services.
Your coworker is a twat.
TFW you get shot and it’s not even the biggest political story of the week.
Is it me or is the newsworthy thing here not the phone but the actual fucking murder?
Children have been arguing about toys for millennia. I got into a few fist fights myself over he-man dolls.
The hackers just engaged in a little bit of technical debt collecting ;)
The trouble with cloudflare is that there is just one. It’s one of the best registrars out there, the only free/cheap and usable DNS host (have you seen what route53 charges per zone??). That without getting into the whole tunnels and DDoS mitigation end of things, which is nearly unique at any price point.
The problem with cloudflare is that we’re missing three other cloudflares to move to if they decide to pull evil shit.
Wait, Mexico elected a celebrated climate scientist to the presidency?
That’s pretty awesome.

What is this old timey bullshit? Why not a burlap sack of fucking pieces of eight?

I’m not sure about the browser, but a lot of malware used to ship with the tor binary and used it to connect to the CNC. I can totally see it ending up in the indicator list.
I love bashing MS as much as the next guy, but this is not completely indefensible behavior given typical user use cases and needs. As long as it’s easy to add an exception of you installed it on purpose.
Most hexbears are stand up chaps and under normal circumstances we get along great. The main issue as far as I’m concerned is that their posting culture does not align with what I want out of my Lemmy experience.
Basically, they are fighters. They run around the fediverse picking ten arguments at a time, getting in people’s faces, escalating moderation decisions to instance admins and generally have zero chill.
Me, I like to hang out with chill people and relax and shoot the shit about video games and stuff. Yes yes I know western imperialism bad, but after the fifth time I’m done with the topic.
On iOS in light mode, the status bar/clock/signal/battery indicator is white on and off white background in the main screens.
This is not ideal because I lose track of time and people yell at me.
As a PhD who has tried doing home improvement projects, it’s the most believable thing in the film.
