Apparently, Amazon's AI has decided that I need a 200-ton press... Now mind you, it may be right, but I've just gotta know what I bought that told it I'd want that, of all things...
Got hammered in chess today I rage quit! But had a few good dayz before so it makes up. I deleted cookies of that site at all! I swear, it's like they conspired against me all . This is not possible and unacceptable! Such a shameful streak of losses in rapid, but the one in classic well above me offered a draw. 2 wins 9 fucking losses in rapid the one in classic was a draw. Whole 2 -3 day progress wiped out in 1 day. Tomorrow is another day. 7 losses, I need hard drugs. Worse of it is it was my own fault. One needs a beating full force no pity by having lost advantage with stupid moves so one learns from it.
The list was released alongside a statement by Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader of Iran, vowing vengeance for the killing of his father, Ali Khamenei, in February 2026. Mojtaba stated: "These criminals, whose names appear on a list, will take to their graves the wish of a peaceful death in their beds."
Targeted Leaders The infographic, described as a "rogues' gallery," depicts 13 world leaders in orange prison uniforms with sniper targets on their foreheads it appeared on hamshahrionline.ir/ While Hamshahri is a semi-official publication, there is no confirmation that this specific list represents an official operational directive from the Iranian government or the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). However, the timing coincides with US intelligence reports indicating Iran had planned specific assassination plots against President Trump, prompting heightened security measures during his recent travel.

Made with qrencode. So always be wary of these stickers with a QR code on it taking you where I want. Or someone else which can be malicious. This QR could have been... Scanning a QR code is like clicking a blindfolded link; you can't see the destination until it's too late. Attackers use "quishing" to hide phishing sites that steal your passwords and bypass 2FA, or to silently install malware on your device. They even stick fake codes over real ones on parking meters and menus to hijack your payments. Always preview the URL before opening, check for physical tampering, and if a code feels off, type the address manually. Don't let a square of pixels compromise your security. Just another end destination and you could be in hell, so never scan QR's they designed to get in ya mobile most of them if not all. Scammers use them everywhere around commercial and mostly outside as gas pumps nearby to scan and take your cash off
You could as well directly set a payload on it the victim usually needs a vulnerable scanner app or must grant permission when the phone prompts an action (like "Join Network?" or "Open App?") or grant permission to this or that only when app is up or site etc. Modern phones (iOS and Android) generally sandbox these actions, meaning they will show you the URL or ask for confirmation before executing anything dangerous. it relies on specific conditions rather than the code simply "running" itself though. A QR code is just data storage; it cannot execute code on its own. However, attackers use three main methods to deliver payloads directly: 1st one you probably seen how Mr Robot kept his files n audio CD's? Yes Steganography or steganographic Payloads. Stagonagraphy is hiding code in an image so attackers can hide executable code inside the visual pattern of the QR code itself. A recent example is the fezbox malware (discovered in 2025), where a malicious software library downloaded a QR code image, extracted hidden code from it, and executed that code to steal cookies. In this scenario, the QR code is the payload carrier, bypassing traditional text-based security scans. then there is as well, Protocol Handlers. QR codes can encode specific protocols that trigger immediate actions without visiting a website. If a user scans these, the device attempts to execute the command directly: WiFi Auto-Join: Encodes WIFI:S:Network;P:Password;; to force a connection to a rogue network. vCard Injection: Can attempt to add a contact with malicious links or exploit vulnerabilities in the contact app. App Schemes: Links like intent:// (Android) or specific app URLs can trigger app installations or deep-link commands. Then there is also the possibility to use brainfuck for 2 known vulnebs. Can a QR code contain a Brainfuck exploit? Yes, but only if the device is running a vulnerable Brainfuck interpreter that processes the QR data. The exploit targets the interpreter's bugs, not the QR standard.
The famous Yi Home Camera and ZBar exploits worked because those devices used vulnerable C code to decode the QR data, not because of any esoteric language.
So, a patient hacker would set a trap on some QR code as a spider and wait. The same you see for gofund me I can replace that text with my QR. So be aware as if I can many can as well.
QR codes are great, they can hold an amazing amount of information in a very small amount of space. Though as you have said we should always pay attention to what our device asks us and not just accept whatever is offered. If I scan a QR with my phone and it is a vCard my phone will not just add it, it will ask me what I want to do with it. If I am not expecting a vCard I am just going to ignore it. My devices will not just auto join a network. I have to approve any network before it will join it.
Having sane settings on your devices goes a long way. Pay attention to what your device asks you. If it asks if you want to join a network and you did not expect such then refuse. If it asks if you want to create a new contact and you did not expect a vCard refuse. It really is quite simple to avoid being scammed. You just have to pay attention. If your not sure error on the side of caution. Reject it.
There is never a reason to scan random QR codes. If it is not relevant to something you are doing, such as a user manual you received with a purchase has a QR in it. I scan QR codes at work every day for inventory. etc ...
@Unus Nemo Yes, you summed it up correctly. As always the weakest point is the human factor just accepting and clicking to rush just to be trapped if it's a badware image. Your picture is broken btw, although for me..
Not many have that awareness as you described with the vcard or deny unknown destinations even on trusted shopping QR's they could have been tampered and replaced.
This underlines the importance for all internet users as I imagine there are weak factors and many to adopt a proper browsing hygiene and that include QR's.
You should be able to see the image now, it got posted private, by the way, I cannot see the image you posted in your reply either. Same old bug. Image in replies some how end up private even though they are supposed to be public.
I am not sure what the issue would be, I had no problem scanning the image I posted with my phone. Try down loading it first and using software on your computer to see if you can see the contents then. It was made with Zint.
enlarge it and post.pls As I had to enlarge the .png to be able to scan geek.com.. resulting in vcard of it geekprank No I enlarged my screen to fit but it has no result, no vcard.
The funny thing is that I can scan the QR right off the screen, I do not even have to click the QR image, enlarge it. With my Samsung S24 Ultra it picks it right up at default size, not sure why your phone was so fussy?
@Unus Nemo I have one of these Dinosaurs if it comes to mobuile but a good one Xiaomi Mi miui VERSION 14. I use it only for personal things and it is never attached or connects at my home network. There is a VPN (Mullvad) only for the killswitch as it's set on real location or Land. Yes it is old and there is no AI in there although you never know with Google annoying me by spawning to log in when I take up the phone or open an app > a real annoyance and it is about AI or speech. There is no connection between that and the internet besides gov sites or local app's needed these days to get informed and to fill in things it's a real conversion in this society to digitize all even official letters eg that it is sad for the unwary and elder or those that never saw a pc before.
Well my phone did not come with AI but Samsung updates have forced them on me. Now you know I am not Anti AI and this would not bother me if it was useful. But they are to lame to even realize some people work at night. So it is about as useful as sun screen at midnight 😉. As it is always scheduled to be active while I am sleeping and complains that I am up to late while at work.
@Unus Nemo It would call 911 even thinking it saves your life! A friend has one of those with AI, it hears everything and acts on its likings if it come to health as not every person is the same simply set it kinda enforces it and can be annoying I imagine. But it's helpful for some things apart from the fact it knows all about your life. With digital signature apps it knows it all. You go to a medic, there will pop up a notification doctor wrote etc so your health as well. You log in for your taxes it knows your economic situation etc etc That annoying pop up I can confirm now it is Gemini as I usually just close it imediatly.
We are living in an era where reality is not just reported; it is manufactured. When we scroll through our feeds, we aren’t seeing the world as it is; we are seeing a curated reflection of what powerful entities want us to believe. The greatest tragedy of our time isn’t just the conflicts themselves, but the collective amnesia regarding history and the selective outrage that defines our modern geopolitical discourse.
The Architecture of Illusion What that is, is history is often described as a cycle, but today, it feels more like a script being rewritten in real-time. We are told that certain nations are existential threats while others are benevolent defenders of freedom. Yet, if you peel back the layers of state-sponsored narratives and corporate media consolidation, you find a consistent pattern: the "foe" is rarely a natural enemy. The foe is made by media. It is a construct designed to unify a domestic population against an external caricature, distracting from internal decay, economic inequality, and the erosion of civil liberties.
~/~ Propaganda in the 21st century doesn’t look like the crude posters of the past. It looks like breaking news banners, algorithmic suppression, and the subtle omission of context. It convinces us that complexity is dangerous and that binary choices are the only moral path.
The Paradox of Selective Solidarity
Perhaps the most glaring contradiction in today’s discourse is the selective alignment of public sentiment. We see individuals passionately choose a side in a specific war theater, citing sovereignty and the right to self-defense. Yet, these same voices often harbor deep-seated hatred toward nations or peoples who are, by all strategic and historical metrics, friends rather than foes. How can one champion the sovereignty of one nation while demanding the subjugation or destruction of another? How can we decry the expansion of military alliances when they do it, but celebrate it as "stability" when we do it? This cognitive dissonance is the fuel that keeps the war machine running. We are tricked into hating those who share our struggles against hegemony, while embracing those who profit from our division is my question next.
The Reality Behind the Curtain
Yeps the reality mainstream herd typos. The reality is that no modern conflicts are not about democracy or human rights; they are about resources, strategic positioning, and the maintenance of a unipolar world order that is rapidly fracturing. The "axis of evil" changes names every decade, but the function remains the same: to justify endless military spending and the surveillance of the populace. When we allow media conglomerates to define our enemies, we lose the ability to see the common humanity that binds us across borders. The worker in a sanctioned nation is not our enemy; they are suffering under the same weight of elite manipulation as we are. The soldier on the other side of the front line is often just as trapped by propaganda and conscription as the one we are told to support.. To see the truth, we must be willing to uncomfortable questions: Who benefits from this conflict? Why was this history erased from our textbooks? Why do we hate a nation that has never attacked us, while ignoring the atrocities of our allies?
We must stop accepting the narrative that the world is simply divided into "good guys" and "bad guys." Geopolitics is a chessboard of interests, not morals. Until we recognize that the true foe is the machinery of war and the propaganda that sustains it, we will remain pawns in a game we didn’t agree to play.
It is time to unwrap history from the lies. It is time to recognize friends where we’ve been taught to see foes. And most importantly, it is time to demand a reality based on truth, not convenience.
Many as I witnessed yesterday can not understand/comprehend this text, it is as well an alarming notice that each and all I see post stupid things that are unreal will be deleted in connection with me. You can express an opinion of which we can debate but not hatred or block's just because of all above this post. Many are detached from reality and what really happens around them and it gets forgotten by the day. I do not forget, I forgive but you wont have a 2nd chance with me. And one can not debate a stupid person as that makes two stupid persons.
How can you hate this person and heil an ex Nazi nation, whilst condemning another but it's the best friend of the one that started the cycle? It is like I said mainstream media, and many here are indoctrinated simply set. 20 million people here and majority is just brainwashed af. And as such contradicting as well. In short they follow the majority's choice and be a herd type.
@Melissa BearTrix You won! 😃 You see, even time can be an ally in chess. lichess.org/LDxsqru5/black#17 There's a new one on and you are black, read chat there for your moves to learn you the ropes.
MelissaBearTrix (1500?) played masterplan8 (1447?) in a casual Correspondence game of chess. masterplan8 ran out of time after 9 moves. Click to replay, analyse, and discuss the game!
@Melissa BearTrix No I swear I did not cheat, I wasn't aware yesterday you made a move or forgot about it. A win is a win Mel, and you won this one. Now next one and indeed I wasn't going to destroy you but read the chat for recommendations and why. That with a mix of online learning there where they have excellent education on openings, mid game and end game. And I'll show you some nasty tricks as well
@Melissa BearTrix here at this point he could take my horse, I take his bishop with pawn and still fork my queen or tower and as such win but he abandoned... lichess.org/ijGa6vLFLGDg He focused on 1 aim only where there was a win in material in his favor but he abandoned. Or I could leave his bishop and move my bishop to protect that tile. So Ba1 to e3 My king would kill that horse yes but then I can not rockade and I'm in a bad position/lost position Bad position vs material gain. Now imagine that scenario where he takes Horsey with bishop triggering me to take his bishop with pawn then he goes with his horse to pin me I would be forced to move my King out and kill that horse disabling me from rocade > then he does just the pawn in front of his king 1 tile on then put queen to chess me. In fact if that way he would probably win.

@Melissa BearTrix As for those that use that queen early game to get that tower to move next in line , this is how to punish them. lichess.org/0bi23NqW/black This is the Caro-kann opening on my side, best as black up to 500 elo in rapid games. I did 5 inaccuracies yes. This is how I want you to play. His queen had no chance to move out with his reckless gamble. Such pins etc you learn them in puzzles there. 4 or 3 of the inaccuracies were in setting chess mate in one move instead I went to take material, I'll learn end game then and play end game puzzles. Rapid is timed so better get him mate in time... hence the not viewing the best solution was rushing.

The "14 Eyes" refers to the SIGINT Seniors Europe (SSEUR) alliance, an extension of the Five and Nine Eyes agreements, where member nations share mass surveillance intelligence. A significant portion of Tor exit nodes (estimated at ~70–80%) are located in these countries, raising concerns about traffic correlation and deanonymization if multiple nodes in a single circuit fall under these jurisdictions.
SIGINT (Signals Intelligence) is the practice of intercepting, decoding, and analyzing electronic signals to gather intelligence. It is the technical backbone of the 14 Eyes SIGINT is an umbrella term covering three main disciplines:
COMINT (Communications Intelligence): Interception of human communications (phone calls, emails, chat logs, radio traffic). This is what agencies like the NSA (US) and GCHQ (UK) primarily use to monitor internet activity.
ELINT (Electronic Intelligence): Interception of non-communication signals, such as radar emissions, missile guidance systems, or drone control links.
FISINT (Foreign Instrumentation Signals Intelligence): Telemetry data from foreign weapons testing (e.g., speed, altitude, and performance metrics of a missile during a test flight).
more so Unlike human spies (HUMINT), SIGINT is automated and massive in scale. Collection: Agencies use undersea cable taps, satellite interceptors (like the ECHELON system), and ground stations to capture raw data.
Processing: Supercomputers filter noise and attempt to decrypt encrypted traffic. If decryption fails, they often analyze metadata (who called whom, when, and where) which is often unencrypted.
The "Loophole": As revealed by Edward Snowden, SIGINT alliances allow countries to bypass domestic spying laws. For example, if the NSA is legally barred from spying on a US citizen, it can request the GCHQ (UK) to spy on them and share the data legally. This is the core function of the SIGINT Seniors Europe (SSEUR) or "14 Eyes" group.
When you use Tor, your traffic is encrypted, but SIGINT agencies can still perform traffic correlation attacks. By monitoring the entry node (via your ISP) and the exit node (via a server in a 14 Eyes country), they can match timing and packet sizes to deanonymize you, even without breaking the encryption. This is why excluding 14 Eyes countries from your exit nodes is a critical defense against SIGINT capabilities. NSA XKeyscore SIGINT capabilities 2026
@Unus Nemo Oh you saw on your server the switch to Mexico lol, I've put it random for a youtube vid and will choose another exit node even for my proxied DNS As for my wireguard also, not only SOCKS5 I was shocked when I read that! And Kodachi OS shows you the exclusions but gotta trust Kodachi OS. It's Ubuntu but I did things with it back then that many were surprized off, goood thing is his source is open even in the UI you can see the code execute. But I just do not trust him and it's also Ubuntu
Wait, I know.. I'll spare you to tell me that you control all those exit nodes. And that Kodachi OS is a storefront as well. But like in chess there is always a little escape route somewhere.
And I'm wrong not 1 is 100% safe even with command ExcludeExitNodes to ban the 14 Eyes, but allow the rest of the network. Trying to pinpoint a single "safe" country often creates a false sense of security while degrading performance. So I've set my proxied SOCKS5 DNS at random mode, behind a wireguard connection.
I think you missed the point of the article. When browsing to an Onion Site on Tor you do not use an Exit Node. That is the point. So vulnerabilities of Exit Node attacks do not exist. Of course that Onion Site could be corrupted and established by some agency that we do not want to share data with.
Keep the following in mind. This is about privacy and good OPSEC and has nothing to do with evading Law Enforcement Agencies in performing their duties. If you are doing something illegal, which I do not, then there are going to be other attack vectors they can get to you with. If a government agency was to make an Onion Site it would likely be to entrap those trying to do something illegal so we would never have a reason to go to such a site. So they do not matter to us.
Of course it takes a while to accumulate a lot of good Onion Resources so most people do not use them. This is where Exit nodes come into play and the security risk they subject you to. Though if you are browsing Tor and not going to non-Onion sites then Exit Node telemetry does not exist.
Read the article again, I think you missed the point entirely.
Though if you are browsing Tor and not going to non-Onion sites then Exit Node telemetry does not exist.
You missed the important part. The part where I stated that if you were not going to non-Onion sites (the ones with the long string followed by a .onion for an url) then there is no telemetry. There is telemetry of course if you leave the Tor Infra structure by going to a non-Onion site. The way you quoted it sort of left that out 😉.
@Unus Nemo I don't use those onion sites at all since years so I am in that category you called or described as "us" 😉 For me is about privacy only as I don't do illegal shit nor can they find any nasty on me and for the rest security.
I was saying us in a universal way much like the use of the universal you. When I am on Tor it is usually to go to political sites and they are Onion resources. I do not use Tor to navigate ordinary websites. That is just a bit to paranoid for me 😉. Besides it adds a lot of latency and breaks some features on many sites. Especially if you have JavaScript disabled. Which is good OPSEC on Tor but not really needed for social media and other sites were privacy is not a big deal. Let me make this very clear. We go to social media sites to be social. If you are expecting privacy on an International Network were people are sharing social content then I believe that is just ridiculous to be honest. If you want privacy then do not post on Social Media. Now that is not to say that you have to share information about yourself, as most people do. And on the Fediverse we do not require the sharing of your personal information. Which is why a lot of people prefer Fedi over Meta.
I never do in fact, that was an era ago: Tor over VPN thing, some I guess even still use it. In any case I don't I use the SOCKS5 protocol only to establish a proxied DNS yes that is it so all sites are https as normal. I just read your edit and yeah indeed don't even make an account then or mail account even
Tor over VPN is a total waste of time and creates far too much latency. If you feel you have to mask your use of Tor then just use a bridge. People seriously do not understand what VPNs are, what they were really made for, and why they are not great for security. Though they can get you past some regional blocks on the internet that is about the extent of their usefulness. Unless you are setting up your own VPN (which requires a publicly available server such as my VPS) to use the VPN for what it was actually made for.
The VPN privacy thing is a scam even when most of the net was http and not https. The reason being is that just like when you leave a Tor exit for a http site the connection between the Tor exit and the site is not encrypted. The same applies to VPN. As soon as you connect to a site that is not encrypted from your VPN you lose encryption. Now, if you are connecting to a https site, then you do not need to the VPN for encryption and you are just subjecting yourself to unneeded latency for no reason.
So-called security experts that are really just trying to sell you a service have totally misrepresented what a VPN is and its uses. I have entire books on VPNs if you are interested. OpenVPN also has some great documentation. The VPN for privacy is just smoke and mirrors that knowledgeable users do not fall for. It is like Anti-Virus on Gnu/Linux which is a scam as well, just to sell a product. I am not talking about Anti-Virus on servers to protect against their spreading viruses to MS/Windows machines connected to them such as Clam. I am talking about the BS anti-virus programs that really do nothing on Gnu/Linux there are other ways to protect yourself on Gnu/Linux that does not exist on Older MS/Windows but they are starting to add some features since MS/Windows Vista. Though most users disable these features on MS/Windows because they are inconvenient so they do not benefit from them. I am not implying that there are no security vulnerabilities on Gnu/Linus as there certainly are. They are just managed very differently than on MS/Windows. With stricter ACL then most home MS/Windows users have turned on and SELinux or Apparmor. And by just practicing good OPSEC.
Keep in mind that most Anti-virus software is mostly required because of proprietary software. When source code is available and can be vetted you do not need Anti-virus to scan files looking for attacks. Because they are in a binary format you cannot vet. With Open Source Software you can just read the code, no scanners required.
@Unus Nemo I do not use Anti Virus at all even on my XOS and there no VPN neither. I know it's scam, just for here to help access sites due to geolocation using a wireguard tunnel to all accessible servers in a set region which is Canada, also to cloak my real ISP when I browse the net or use internet for tools etc. The proxied DNS is just a feature in the browser I love to use. I know that all these are storefront or they sell your data. Mullvad stores no data and i use their Wireguard to encrypt my connection and cloack real location for browsing only. Well it's system wide but there is little latency without the hopping, DAITA whatevere they sell a person just 1 encrypted wireguard for here ( This OS) and that proxied DNS in browser really make me evade Youtube's captcha's, log in's and what have we not. For AV only thing I need is the GUI site of VT$ Browsers to check URL's and it turns to be a good social engineering tool as well.
Just keep in mind that the encryption you gain from VPS or Wireguard starts from your computer and ends at their server. As soon as you connect to anything besides their server (which is everything) the encryption is gone and the only encryption is provided by the https or e2e if your app supports that. This is the biggest BS part of VPN. A real VPN would have every node on the same VPS so everything would be encrypted on that VPN. But the way a VPN or Wireguard works with Mullvad and other paid for services is that you are the only node the VPN that is accessible on their network unless you have more than one device on it. Even other Mullvad users you cannot connect to via the VPN. As soon as you go to a website Mullvad turns into a proxy server. So anything beyond their server from your entry point is not encrypted at all unless another method of encryption is employed. Which means you will have dual encryption. It will cause latency even if you do not notice it and it may even be acceptable for you. Keep in mind that dual encryption offers absolutely no benefit to your security and only causes latency.
The reason that the early Web was all http was that machines were not powerful enough back then to deal with the encryption and the latency just became unbearable. So it was only used on government mainframes etc. Back then businesses used Dedicated Service lines that they paid mega bucks for. As machines got more powerful VPN became their answer (which is the true use of VPN). Now most of the net is https most browsers will throw a fit if you even try to connect to a http site unless you enable it, which it will warn you is not safe. So providing your own encryption, except for in the case of Tor, is really just a sugar pill. If it makes you feel better then do it but it has no gain with only cost.
Your machine and ISP may be fast enough that the latency does not effect you to a point were you notice it. Though you can be sure it is there and is costing you additional bandwidth with no benefit.
@Unus Nemo I see it more as a privacy tool, but then again as chat controls roll out and as I mentioned earlier they can decrypt server side (CSS) , let us say it adds a little anonymity for browser scans e.g. and mostly as you say geo location restrictions. I pay 5$ just for that 1 WG tunnel.. which made me consider to make my own from scrap and free.
They promised us a shield, a digital fortress built of laws, The EU AI Act rising like a wall against the storm. "No more scraping of our faces," the decree proclaimed in August, "No more machines that guess our souls, or categorize our form." But read the fine print, citizen, where the shadows learn to dance, For while the real-time eye is banned, the retrospective gaze remains. They cannot watch the protest live, or so the headlines say, But they can save the footage deep, and parse it through their chains. The "loophole" is a wide open door, dressed up as safety gear, "Missing children," "Terror threats," the justifications grow. And every member state holds keys to unlock the cage they built, Turning "high risk" into standard practice, quiet, soft, and slow. And in our pockets, whispers spread of Chat Control's return, A regulation stalled in trilogues, yet scanning still persists. The voluntary became the norm, the encryption cracked by stealth, While algorithms hunt for "grooming" in the texts we thought existed. They say the Digital Identity Wallet puts the power in your hand, "You choose what data shares," they claim, "You hold the master key." But anonymity is eroding, brick by digital brick, As "over-identification" becomes the price of being free. It is not the iron fist of old, nor boot upon the neck, But a soft, algorithmic hum, a bureaucratic embrace. Where privacy is traded for convenience, and silence for "security," And we wake up in a glass house, with no curtains on the face. The law was meant to ban the dark, to draw a line in sand, But lines blur when the exceptions eat the rule from inside out. So guard your keys, encrypt your words, and question every scan, For mass control in modern times wears a friendly, legal shout.
Chat Control 1.0 has been reinstated** by the European Parliament despite 314 MEPs voting against it, because the required absolute majority of 361 votes to block the measure was not reached.
The legislation was revived through a controversial urgent procedure approved on July 7 by 331 MEPs, which shifted the voting threshold from a simple majority to an absolute majority of all 720 members. Although 314 voted against the extension and only 276 voted in favor, the failure to gather 361 "no" votes resulted in the automatic adoption of the Council's position. This outcome allows online platforms to voluntarily scan private communications for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) until at least 2028, overriding the earlier March rejection of the temporary derogation. Critics, including Pirate Party MEPs and privacy advocates, condemned the maneuver as a bypass of democratic norms and standard parliamentary rules. euperspectives.eu/2026/07/parl…
End-to-end encrypted (E2EE) communications are not directly scanned under Chat Control 1.0. The technology of encryption prevents providers from accessing the content of messages in transit or on their servers. But there is a loophole there again> The regulation allows for client-side scanning (CSS). This means the scanning software would operate on your device before the message is encrypted or after it is decrypted. And of course the voluntary nature of some Storefronts.. This was normal for gmail, outlook since 2021 fyi. The concern is in chat control 2.0 which will be passed as well same way or another way you'll see and there is the permanent CSAR regulation. This proposed law aims to make scanning mandatory. It seeks to force providers to implement client-side scanning on encrypted services, effectively bypassing encryption protections.
Do you think that when the Project management cult powers-that-be changed "Risk/Benefit Analysis" to "SWOT Analysis" (SWOT = Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats), do you think that they were only looking for a way to repackage what everyone's been doing for a century as a new concept, or do you think that they were simply so poorly educated that they had never heard of "Risk/Benefit Analysis", so they just reinvented it?
You had your top player back after a call between Infantino and Trump on the terrain and still lost 1 to 4. You are eliminated as guest land all 3 in fact we did he last one. You have met the Belgians.. youtube.com/watch?v=QL3kCTgeVK…
Where was any luck here? That Belgian team's players are all playing in top Clubs.. But we played you out as last remaining guest land here. That is a defeat and I know how it feels. You still suck in soccer And now you gonna raise tariffs on Belgium or even declare a war. I honestly even hope Belgium loses against Spain next match, I don't care.. what I care about is kicking USA out.

That's it! You called football soccer! You can no longer be European. You must move to Southern Africa in exile (where they will still call it football 😉 )
@Unus Nemo It was meant to make you guys understand it.. 🙂 you call Rugby Football. Half the world was anxious btw at Trump's arrival at NATO meeting yesterday in Turkey because they lost the match.. Was even mainstream news's view on it.
I bet Trump will impose tariffs on Belgium after their humiliating 1-4 loss in soccer World Cup. Belgian players after the Victory even danced the Y.M.C.A song to snare Trump
Few weeks ago I accidentally stumbled upon Project Gemini—I think I was browsing some random links on Wiby.me—and it really surprised me. Not only was I not aware about other Internet protocols (yes, I am ashamed of myself (¬_¬"), but there is a whole culture of the #smallnet hidden in a plain sight. It was like discovering #Fediverse all over again! I quickly found a gemini-compatible browser—Lagrange—and my dive into a new, exciting thing began.
At first, finding things in #Geminispace was challenging. But it felt strangely liberating. The local community is mostly well-educated IT specialists and enthusiasts. One of them has jokingly called Gemini “a place where the old IT seniors come to die”. This comparison made me think of the Grey Wardens from Dragon Age games and their necessity to seek the Deep Roads when they feel like their time is coming to an end. I really liked that image: the IT seniors clad in shiny armour give their final words of wisdom and disappear into the uncharted depths. “They call them Greybeards”, the story tells, “the ever-watchful guardians of cyberspace and cyberfreedoms against the corrupted Big-tech spawns.” Only unlike the Deep Roads, Geminispace is quiet and safe, without a constant horde of trackers, adspawns and other abominations up your back. It has its many limitations, but through them it shall remain a place of sacred refuge from the Big Tech and the noise of modern internet. As long as there is at least one Greybeard to roam its depth. 𓀛
Gemini's obscurity and lack of utility means that there are no analytics, no metrics, no ways to go viral, to monetize people's attention, build a career or even a minimally-functional web platform. No sane business would build on top of Gemini, and that is exactly why it is capable of having the character that it does. — “Gemini is Useless” by Alex at gemini://alex.flounder.online/gemlog/2021-01-08-useless.gmi
P. S.: The word “Greybeard” is used as a unisex term, just for the connotation with Grey Wardens, and to link the old meme that deep knowledge of IT systems gets you a beard (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ). I fully acknowledge that many of the heroes have no beard. ᡣ𐭩ྀིྀི
I ran into Gemini randomly in its infancy in 2020. I was checking out browsers when I noticed Lagrange. The protocol is very limiting though that is its appeal. I was even working on a module for Gemini support for lynx, I am sure it is around in my archives somewhere 😉.
note: I just checked and I still have Lagrange installed, though it does not get much use these days.
Richard Nixon effectively ended the convertibility of the U.S. dollar into gold on August 15, 1971, in an event known as the Nixon Shock. It was redeemable for gold at $35 per ounce only back then.. A 90-day freeze on wages and prices was imposed via Executive Order 11615 to combat domestic inflation. A temporary 10% tax on imports was instituted to protect American jobs and encourage trading partners to revalue their currencies.
Now that looks like hijack 1, then the oil then the LNG.. Few realize this. And on top it is fair game all of this, law of the jungle.

@Wulfy—Speaker to the machines Off course this made inflation as there was no counter value as the breton woods so cash was just printed and leaned. Since then all cash was a loan, we lived on loans whole society. Hence the hunt for resources and political flavor to dominate the world it's a game like any other monopoly game. Wall Street wolves and sacked Nations (Iceland and Greece) with bail-out's a term invented to tell scam and other things as war and make it profitable that war by leveraging the resources in a finite world and here we are.
Even Bitcoin is a scam in fact a StoreFront value with your public key visible on the chain explorer.
edit: storefront is a fake business or entity (either online or physical) established covertly by police or intelligence agencies to attract criminal targets. The purpose is to lure these targets into using a specific service where their communications can be monitored and intelligence will be collected.
they all storefronts, proton etc name it, signal as well they have your mail. VPN's and that sorts that keeps you hidden as Tor or Onion was invented by US Marines and then put as open source. They simply control all nodes.
It sure is a good thing the left spent the last 20 years building this "hate speech" catch-all legal framework that the right is now using to extort people who say mean things about them!
hey @Melissa BearTrix Melissa! show me a game that is playable and not restricted by bottlenecks or stone age games please. I used to play browser games
@Melissa BearTrix All games on Linux suck! They break, the glitch the mistake port or whatever but with Linux your game is never save. If I had the needed CPU and RAM I would make my own fucking game

I think they recommend that for everyone? I mean who does not need a 200-ton press?
