An empire builder would work with existing alliances, surely, rather than weakening them all systematically, threatening the allies, and undermining their governments until only the USA’s enemies remain strong, while simultaneously implementing policies that damage the USA’s own economy.

Just like Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland were good moves, strategically, for Germany. It doesn’t make it OK.

I wonder if that’s why Microsoft’s recent products are, you know, the way they are.

The notes there say that everything works except that the canvas flickers. Sounds minor but probably makes it unusable. Probably best to install it in a Windows VM if you need it. The Affinity stuff is very good.

I don’t understand your comment. Steganography in computing is about hiding messages inside other media, but this doesn’t in itself achieve any kind of encryption. The current discussion is about encryption, and whether it should have backdoors (the answer is no). Even if you hide your message in an image or video file, you still face the question of how to encrypt it. So steganography seems orthogonal to the debate about encryption.

They want a portable printer. Jesus fucking Christ.

According to the article, that was not done in this case, hence the article.

Have we confirmed that this alert included only the link to Xhitter, without the other data?

I guess you’re looking for another source, but as far as this one goes it states in the first paragraph that this was exactly the problem:

Earlier this week, the California Highway Patrol sent an Amber Alert push notification to phones in the Los Angeles area about a 14-year-old girl that authorities believed had been abducted. But instead of conveying vital information that could help locate the victim within the notification itself, the law enforcement agency linked to a post from its official X account, a practice it adopted six years ago. But this time, many people reported they could not view the alert because they hit a screen that prevents users from seeing any content on X until they sign into their account.

Especially Musk’s far-right propaganda platform. Public and media organizations need to stop using it.

Right now we need organisations fighting for software and media freedom more than ever. The unholy alliance of big corporations and far-right politics is just getting going, and if we don’t have alternatives to communications run by unethical corporations we’ll be driven into silence while they control all messaging. So this seems like a worthwhile donation.

Republicans also declare war on the majority but their voters aren’t smart enough to realize.

It certainly has a FECAl smell about it.

That’s because they’re not even trying to help people, except people who can pay.

He has gone full Nazi and is letting the world know. There’s something wrong with this asshole, but his influence and money is real and dangerous.

He’s really going all out on the being-a-Nazi thing isn’t he?

If we stop him there’ll be no need for those movies. Everyone regrets that Hitler wasn’t stopped sooner, except Nazis like Elon Musk. Nazism is on the rise again and there needs to be real popular resistance.

And while Henry Ford is gone, the USA’s richest and most powerful industrialists are still Nazis.

The countries that will suffer most from Trump’s tariffs are Mexico, Canada and the USA.

From the article:

The International Civil Aviation Organization recommends a standard buffer zone of about 180 to 300 meters, or 591 feet to 984 feet, from the end of the runway. At Muan airport, the concrete structure surrounded by a mound of dirt sits roughly 250 meters from the end of the runway, according to local officials.

So it’s not out of the usual range for distance, but the presence of an unbreakable barrier was a problem.
