There’s a lot of sanity coming out of Spain these days.

Doesn’t “decentralized” describe that application’s architecture? It means it doesn’t depend on central servers to send and receive messages. It’s not a claim about the organization that maintains it.

Microslop, who bundle their OS with a competing encryption product that probably has government backdoors, “accidentally” shutting out open source encryption software. Nothing to see here. Perfectly legitimate business behavior.

Netanyahu is a liar and a danger to the world. “Most moral army” is a sick joke. The IDF are villains, not heroes.

Spain’s government actually seems to have some principles and speak the truth about Israel and the other fascist powers spreading death and destruction.

It has to be AI-generated.

People can’t tell it’s sarcasm because every day we encounter people who would say exactly these stupid things in earnest.

If a physics simulation doesn’t agree exactly with experimental data, it is often difficult to figure out why and tweak the model until they agree. With AI, incorporating a few experimental examples into the training process is a lot more straightforward, and it’s not necessary to understand where exactly the model went wrong.

That’s not too bad if it’s only ever used as a rough guide in the early stages of design, with proper testing done later. But do we trust corporations not to get lazy and pressure their engineers to skip the accurate tests altogether, especially when they can then brag to their investors that AI is replacing expensive engineer time? What would Boeing’s management want to do with this tech?

With browser fingerprinting and data brokers we should assume that any website we visit has enough information to lead an interested party to our real identity, even if you hide your IP address. Add to that AI analysis of your writing style, the times when you post, the profile of your interest in various subreddits, and any clues you let slip in your comments. If they want to find you and you didn’t take special steps to disguise yourself, they won’t have much trouble.

If only everyone had warned him again and again that this would happen.

And by “far left” they mean you, if you’re not a committed fascist. And they may mean you even if you are, because that’s how fascism goes.

Around 100 sites in the country were bombed in one 10-minute period alone in what the IDF dubbed “Operation Eternal Darkness.”

Israel needs an “are we the baddies?” moment.

It’s like the US official who told the Pope he was wrong because the USA has more weapons than he does. Fascists don’t appreciate truth or morality, just force.

“The United States,” Colby said, according to a blistering new report by The Free Press, “has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.”

Yes, you have lots of guns and bombs and you’re very big and strong. But the Pope was offering a moral criticism. You know, about morality, doing the right thing. Have you or your “Christian” colleagues ever heard of it? Turns out it doesn’t often align with who is most eager and equipped to kill anyone who looks at them the wrong way. Even Jesus (heard of him?) had a thing or two to say about that.

He lost the war weeks ago.

Rein. No one wants to reign in a dog.

He demands to know how she could possibly justify such an obscene display: “I would like to hear how you would explain to my children what you’re supposed to be.”

Easy: “I am an enormous dick, like your daddy.”

They exploited old unpatched firmware bugs, then modified DNS to send people to malicious sites. A typical hack involving old, unpatched routers. So the FCC decides to ban all new routers, while allowing old routers to continue functioning. It makes no sense as a security measure. The only way to understand the ban is as another instance of Trump’s people foolishly thinking that if they punish companies enough, they’ll instantly relocate their manufacturing to the USA.

“It’s unprecedented for an American vice-president to come the week before an election,” he said. But he said he had decided to come because of what he described as the “garbage happening against” Orbán in the election.

“We had to show that there are actually lots of friends across the world who recognise that Viktor and his government are doing a good job and they’re important partners for peace,” he said.

Vance insisted, however, that his efforts to bolster the lagging campaign of the rightwing, populist leader – whose “illiberal democracy” has long been seen as an inspiration for the Maga movement – did not constitute foreign interference. “I find it darkly ironic that people are accusing me of engaging in some kind of foreign influence,” he said.

No, that just is interference. The VP of another country flying in 4 days before an election to campaign for one of the candidates is about the clearest case of foreign election interference you could ever see.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office issued a statement in English, saying that the PM supports the US decision and claiming that “Iran no longer poses a nuclear, missile and terror threat to America, Israel, Iran’s Arab neighbours and the world.”

Remember that for next time he starts claiming the opposite.
