Looks like the Denver line did Rattler no favors last night.

In principle, I’m very mad! Those are my games!

In reality, I don’t replay very many games, so I don’t care too much.

Homelessness in Japan is illegal, so people turn Internet cafe pods into “homes”.

It’s extremely clear to me that hexbear is a Russian propaganda tool. The twisted logic they employ and the over willingness of the users to spend lots of time pushing a narrative has made it all too obvious. I sincerely hope no one else falls into that trap through the fediverse. It needs to be defederated.

I’ve witnessed friends who got into the alternative news/Q Anon shit similarly start to fully believe the propaganda. They parrot all the Russian talking points about Ukraine and believe Trump is the only one who can save the country from oblivion. They think they’re hearing insider information, that it’s the actual truth, and the media does nothing but lie. It’s attractive because they think they’re getting secretive truth that most other people aren’t hearing. They’re getting bullshit.

The Russian war on hearts and minds is going swimmingly well for them. They’ve gotten fascists elected all over the world. It is time for their targets to wake up from their drug induced haze and recognize the true reality of the situation.

The main thing that gives X relevance is sports media and corporate communications. If they all move elsewhere, X would turn into an echo chamber like Truth Social.

What policies of Barack Obama do you think contributed to this?

Do you believe the president actually has a role in determining whether black people can achieve home ownership?

Every team should start doing this, starting with Thursday night’s game.

Sadly, the people who need to hear this will tune it out.

The article described the hackers having access to what’s called Lawful Intercept capabilities. In the telecom equipment I’ve worked with, this takes the form of voice call tapping, full packet capture of data, or just a capture of connections made.

If they had unfettered access to this functionality, they could have spied on anyone at length. Government officials, C suite people at companies…anyone.

Importantly, you probably don’t know what all is encrypted in every app you use on your phone, so it’s best practice to encrypt the transport.

The Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy ruined sci-fi for me for quite a while. I couldn’t read anything else for months.
