I purchased 3/5 books of the series. The 2 free books add up to 13 hours.

The backdoors the NSA uses are known vulnerabilities, 0days, USB drops, all the normal hacker tools… and if it’s a target of sensitive enough in nature, maybe a warrant requiring Apple Update/Windows Update/whoever or whatever device needs spied on, to deliver a payload to that specific machine.

Reclusive hermit

has 1 chosen “family” that took care of him and loved him

leaves half his fortune to that family

confusing innit?

Where did you see that they were a couple?

The newspaper said the unnamed Moroccan man is married to a woman of Spanish origin with two children, and that Mr Puech refers to them as his “children”, “daughter-in-law” and “adopted son”.

It said he was particularly touched at the way they looked after him during the Covid pandemic.

Sounds like he’s a reclusive hermit who inherited family wealth, and wants to give it to the only friends/family he has.

Wars have been going on in Iran since forever. There was a brief slice of westernization for less than a decade in the 70s, those pictures of rich people in the capital city center everyone’s oohs and aahs over, we did that. USSR was doing their best to exert their influence and turn Iran into a communist nation, and a handful of small groups were vying to take communism out of the equation. We funded them, although I’m sure money was coming in from more than one or two nations as Iran is a very important global geopolitical chess piece, and it eventually fell apart.

No, the US is not a paradigm of democracy, and yes we will do what we need to, to prevent anyone else from becoming the dominant global superpower. Expect war with China by late 2027.

And of course the neutral take is the downvoted one. I thought Reddit was bad about detecting bots and state actors, but Lemmy is open sourcing season propaganda trolling.

I guess it makes sense when you can spin up your own instance, post legitimate things and get people to flock to it, and then have a small number of users start posting anti-Western propaganda with ‘just the other normal Average Joe users’ upvoting it, and the only way to effectively block it is by defederating that instance.

Since it’s all federated, it’ll be interesting to see OSINT groups like Bellingcat or the 100 others do an analysis on propaganda and automated bot activity on Lemmy, and how much of it was detected and removed. I’ll bet it’s less than 5%.

They didn’t move them, they’re just building new fabrication plants here so we don’t have to depend on threatened foreign land for the production. https://pr.tsmc.com/english/news/2977

Also SMIC (China’s chip manufacturer) is now also producing 7nm chips, even though they were sanctioned in 2020. That means they either had a breakthrough in the process or they obtained and were able to repair and operate/reverse engineer the incredibly complex TSMC fabs.

Iran wouldn’t have been in the state it’s in if the US hadn’t staged a coup there because they didn’t like the leftist leader people democratically elected.

I think you need to brush up on your history a bit my friend, here’s a good starting point: https://www.britannica.com/event/Iranian-Revolution

OP learned a hard lesson today, not to post anything that isn’t anti-Israel on Lemmy, the platform with no bot detection.

I think it’s supposed to have an early internet feel, and it does, but it’s meh.

Yes, links die. Servers die without being backed up by the other. But there is a higher chance that someone saved anything juicy… nudes, sensitive info you shared, etc. There are also a number of archive team type groups that have backups in the 50-100 terabyte range that aren’t actually on the web for viewing, but if you can find it in the torrent you can download it.

If that’s the case, you and about 100 other people have already figured it out. Better start filling up your friends and neighbors cars before they run the weekly numbers and fix it.

It doesn’t apply to the same order. Coupons are off your next order. Coupon comes after transaction completion. Nemo is right.

Spend 10 to get 10 (you spend 10)

Spend 10 pay 0 (you spent zero)

Spend 10 get 10 (you spent 10)

Spend 10 pay 0 (you spent zero)

Spend 10 get 10 (you spent 10)

Spend 10 pay 0 (you spent zero)

= You spent $30 for $60 worth of gas.

So it’s basically a half off coupon however many times you manage to use it. 3 times if you bought $10 (not sure why 11) you would have gotten $60 gas and spent $30.

On a PC it can be a number of things from MAC to various hardware IDs, but on a phone it’s a UUID assigned by the phone maker (different function calls for Android and iPhone).

Presumably not before the mini ice age ~12k years ago… you mean the full-blown ice age right.

(I don’t know the proper terms of the eras sorry)

Like this. I think the image also has to be on its own line.

I agree about the wave/wrinkle looking things. I’m talking about the block looking things above the ship, and one beside it that looks like it moved from above it. I’m not sure how Lemmy works across instances but I did add a picture to my comment.

That’s a great question. They almost look like blocks, and one looks moved right by the wrecked ship. When was the last time the Baltic Sea was above sea level?

Possible artifacting if the surveying was done by 2 ships a certain distance from each other?

Also, the guy in the meme is a… checks notes… Canadian that goes around debating freshmen at American college campuses.

Propagandistic bullshit.

Saying you can’t say “both sides suck” means we’re stuck with only two and must pick one.

Two is not the only option.

But it’s difficult to mobilize the bread eaters as they watch the circus.
