I’m more of an elliptical orbit kinda guy. Sometimes I almost get it but most of the time the point just keeps getting farther and farther away.

Well it’s a .ru domain so that site is russian and there is this bit

That is why the current government of Burkina Faso needs Russian assistance not only to ensure victory over terrorism, but also to carry out effective economic reforms, create new jobs, and develop resources on equal terms.

Which doesn’t mean anything per se but it’s kinda suspect.

It’s not about how people vote. It’s about getting people to vote. Emotionally charged people are more likely to vote/volunteer/donate etc.

I’m talking out of my ass by the way, I have nothing to prove any of this.

My pet theory is that this was said specifically to destabilize the US. As others have said, this is not new. China has been saying this for a long time. But 100% the GOP is going to call Biden weak for not shutting Xi down and instead saying the US supports a "One China Policy " without any critical thought as to what the dynamics are.

This is to fire up the right wing base.

That post is outstanding and is a wonderful writeup that highlights the danger of associating with a company as morally bankrupt as Meta.

There is concern that Threads will use embrace, extend, extinguish to depreciate the ActiviyPub protocol. Essentially, they adopt the open standard, expand on it with proprietary additions, then when everyone is using the modified standard they drop support for the open standard and now everyone has to play ball by their rules.

I’ll accept the risk. I need the clicky

I’m torn and slightly confused. On one hand, good on them, I do enjoy some shitposting. On the other, the founder of NAFO is a nazi.

Edit: Also I went to Truth Social and thought it was weird that I couldn’t reject their cookies so I clicked in the link at the bottom for GDPR and it gave me a 404 lol.

And it did. It started with coaxial. The fact that ethernet is now largely used in conjunction with UTP or STP doesn’t add much when talking about the Ethernet protocol itself.

To be pedantic: Ethernet is a protocol so mentioning the medium used outside of a historical context is kinda irrelevant.

It’s like the crime version of Buy, Borrow, Die.

A pass key is the private key in a private/public key pair. The private key is stored in the TPM on your device. The website contains the public key. When you use your “one password” you’re in effect giving your device permission to access the key storage in your TPM to fetch the private key to present it to the site.

What this means in practice is that if a website has a data breach they won’t have your hashed password, only your public key which… is public. It doesn’t and can’t do anything on its own. It needs the private key, which again only you have and the website doesn’t store, to do anything at all.

If you want to read more about it look into cryptographic key pairs. Pretty neat how they work.

Tankies gonna tank.

I liketo think my take on the conflict is pretty nuanced. Generally, I don’t like the State of Isreal.

Let me be crystal clear with what I just wrote: I believe the government of Isreal has fostered a culture of dehumanizing Palestinians and is complicit in crimes against humanity. This is apparent with its history of stealing land and extra-judicial killings of Palestinian civilians by the IDF. The people of Israel deserve so much better.

This sentiment also largely applies to Palestine. The Hamas Government triggered this conflict by striking at civilians in Israel. I understand that their primary driving ideology is to kill jews and I think that is fucked up. I also understand that after years of the afore mentioned land grabbing and killings it has led to these extreme attacks by Hamas. It really feels like a chicken and egg situation, which started first. Either way the people of Palestine deserve so much better.

I am more than capable of assigning blame to the appropriate places and lament the affects it has on the victims of violence.

Ohh what a fun argument! Is this comment referring to Palestine or Isreal???

Jokes on you, my wife’s Grandmother will click on any and every link she sees.

Ya he’s giving off some real Libertarian/FrEe MaRkEt/whatevenistheageofconsent vibes

That there was some confusion whether it is a purple monster that eats people or a monster that only eats purple people.

I’m actually the opposite. I’ve tried using Lemmy and I still do to an extent but I dunno. I love the feel of kbin

Huh. I don’t remember buying it. Great game though.
