Sometimes when people don't want an idea interrogated they arrange words around it like a moat. Construct intricate vocabularies that make it so you can only approach it from certain directions, never from the directions where it is weak to attack. Insist you use their vocabulary, debate on their terms. Sometimes I like to just walk directly into the moat. See, it's only ankle deep. This makes people upset. You're ignorant of the theory! No, I'm standing in the middle of it. It's just water dude

ublock origin is great and so don't take this the wrong way but I've never understood why it doesn't have a they-live mode where instead of removing the ads altogether they get rendered as greyscale messages like "OBEY" / "CONSUME" / "DO NOT QUESTION AUTHORITY"

Crypto is holding Texas' independent electricity grid hostage for ransom, while the conservatives who run the state realize they've been duped by the big businesses they sidle up to.

Someone sent me a note the other day that a funeral service for their late friend was being used to start a new Meta group that claimed to offer live streaming of the service.

But of course, those who clicked the link were sent to fake video streaming websites that try to collect payment information before supposedly letting you watch the service.

A little digging showed that not only are there hundreds of these fake funeral streaming groups, but all of them are tied back to some brainiacs in Bangladesh who naturally exposed their identities and operation by trojaning their own PCs.

What's crazy is how the fake funeral streaming groups on Meta are just one tiny microcosm of the scams these dudes in Bangladesh are doing.

Also, now I feel like showering after spending a few hours back on Meta. Eww.

It's been a while since HyperDbg's first release, and we realized our initial assumptions for the command parser won’t fully meet new demands. After redesigning and extensive testing, HyperDbg v0.10.1 now comes with a brand-new parser! 💫😼

Can anyone help me understand why the Linux kernel sets the SS register segment on x86-64/amd64? The architecture doesn't seem to require it, but it does anyway. I have seen some issues with DOSEMU, signals, and even the sysret not working properly regarding SS, but I didn't see a clear explanation.

"Google, Amazon, and Microsoft control seventy-five percent of the cloud computing market. Meta and Google own half of the fiber optic cables supplying internet services across continents."

…

"So what did GAMM do? They convinced us that our notetaking apps require an internet connection and forty thousand dollar GPUs located on a server three hundred miles away."
