This is worth reading all the way through. MIT takes money from Israel’s defense ministry to research better ways to genocide Palestinians, and subjects any student who points it out to violence and legal attacks.

I guess they’re really proud of their support for Israel.

The Supreme Court, who are corrupt and take bribes, ruled that bribes are legal. Also that even if they weren’t, the law doesn’t apply to the President.

Still, it’s good to see there are people there who won’t just go along with anything.

I wonder if that’s why Microsoft’s recent products are, you know, the way they are.

I don’t understand your comment. Steganography in computing is about hiding messages inside other media, but this doesn’t in itself achieve any kind of encryption. The current discussion is about encryption, and whether it should have backdoors (the answer is no). Even if you hide your message in an image or video file, you still face the question of how to encrypt it. So steganography seems orthogonal to the debate about encryption.

They want a portable printer. Jesus fucking Christ.

According to the article, that was not done in this case, hence the article.

Have we confirmed that this alert included only the link to Xhitter, without the other data?

I guess you’re looking for another source, but as far as this one goes it states in the first paragraph that this was exactly the problem:

Earlier this week, the California Highway Patrol sent an Amber Alert push notification to phones in the Los Angeles area about a 14-year-old girl that authorities believed had been abducted. But instead of conveying vital information that could help locate the victim within the notification itself, the law enforcement agency linked to a post from its official X account, a practice it adopted six years ago. But this time, many people reported they could not view the alert because they hit a screen that prevents users from seeing any content on X until they sign into their account.

Especially Musk’s far-right propaganda platform. Public and media organizations need to stop using it.

Right now we need organisations fighting for software and media freedom more than ever. The unholy alliance of big corporations and far-right politics is just getting going, and if we don’t have alternatives to communications run by unethical corporations we’ll be driven into silence while they control all messaging. So this seems like a worthwhile donation.

Republicans also declare war on the majority but their voters aren’t smart enough to realize.

It certainly has a FECAl smell about it.

That’s because they’re not even trying to help people, except people who can pay.

And while Henry Ford is gone, the USA’s richest and most powerful industrialists are still Nazis.

I wish there were some way to enable availability to persist even when torrents’ peak of popularity has passed - some kind of decentralized, self-healing archive where a torrent’s minimal presence on the network was maintained. Old torrents then could become slow but the archival system would prevent them being lost completely, while distributing storage efficiently. Maybe this isn’t practical in terms of storage, but the tendency of bittorrent to lose older content can be frustrating.

Sorry for posting a third-hand report of the research.

Even if their plastic doesn’t work for foodstuffs, it is still significant if it could replace conventional plastic packaging for other goods.

Most of them, in fact.

The same way these capitalists evaluate human beings.
