We are standing up to stop Russia from building a surveillance state like China.

That’s noble, it’s a pity it’s also naïve

They answer it in the section ‘Where Rayhunter Has Detected Likely Surveillance’, at least partially:

One of the most interesting examples that triggered multiple detections and even inspired us to write some new detection rules was at a cruise port in the Turks and Caicos Islands. […]

Rayhunter users have detected likely CSS use in the US as well. We have received reports from Chicago and New York where our “IMSI Sent without authentication” signature was triggered multiple times over the course of a couple hours and then stopped. Neither report was in the vicinity of a protest. We feel fairly confident that these reports are indicative of a CSS being present, though we don’t have any secondary evidence to back them up.

We have received other reports that have triggered our CSS detection signatures, but the above examples are the ones we feel most confident about.

Did it help, have you managed to get rid of the sounds?

I would advise going in the opposite direction, learning a purely functional language first to then being able to appreciate functional parts

That is beside the point of an opinionated list of the good and the bad, that will differ for others

Yeah, this is the best part. It will also save electricity by not wasting compute on what will provide negative results

I went from Debian to Mint

Not popular = nobody wants that, not because others don’t want that, it’s because what each will not choose on their own

Of course, your mileage may vary

His skin colour is maybe mentioned, because being white rich male is peak privileged, although also being a governor somewhere or having a seat in government would be even better

Sorry for the off-topic, but what’s with those weird typos? Are you also trying to ‘poison’ AI that will be trained on the comments?

Despite this being a question for everyone to answer on their own, continuously failing risky bets and losing everything to it does not look like it will be a popular answer

Yeah, I didn’t know Mint uses it and spent an hour trying to understand how to configure alsa and why my configuration looks correct but doesn’t do what I want (swap front channels)

Because unstoppable 🦀

like replacing V wið F

Better replace U with V, to dovble the confvsion

Makes me curious as to what happened here

I don’t quite get what sense does ‘the flinch’ in the title have beyond being a reference to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It reads as if it was something bad, but the post is just a list of thanks

No True Scotsman, ey?

You mean things like this?

It seems flying the English flag is now as transgressive as posting you’re not a big fan of mass immigration on Facebook. And given that the latter is already likely to land you in trouble with the increasingly authoritarian state, it seems likely that the former might soon too.

I’m not exactly using Xitter, and his blog looks like a lot of reading only to find out who DHH is

Edit: oh, it seems like not much reading was needed, I’m starting to see your point after reading how good it feels to be in the Reagan’s era again:

[L]et me tell you about the 80s. They were amazing. America was firing on all cylinders, Reagan had brought the morning back, and the Soviet Union provided a clear black-and-white adversarial image. But it was the popular culture of the era that still fills me with hiraeth.

[…]

It feels like we’re finally emerging from this constant 90s Seattle drizzle to sunny 80s LA vibes in America. The constant pessimism, the cancellation militias, and the walking-on-eggshells atmosphere have given way to something far brighter, bolder, and, yes, better. An optimism, a levity, a confidence.

In Chinese, “wind” shares a character with “Qing”, the ruling dynasty.

I was perplexed by this because it doesn’t, but it turns out the intellectual said ‘清风’ — cool breeze, which has ‘Qing’ in it, not just a same sound but the very character for the dynasty. I’m not trying to absolve the stupid act, but this context is kinda important and words were often given more weight than they should in historic China, imo.

For anyone interested, this refers to Emperor Shizong who is the Yongzheng Emperor (13 December 1678 – 8 October 1735)

Dude is clearly speedrunning something

Oh, the #4 is clear pretty much as usual
