What does this have to do with socialism?

Everyone knows it’s impossible for the NSA to buy rack space in Bulgaria, where they literally don’t have to deal with any US legal process.

It’s also impossible for the NSA to market such a service via pop-privacy blogs and social media profiles.

The funny part about this is that the Snowden leaks showed that the NSA actually put a lot of effort into doing shit like this specifically to avoid all the paperwork which came with accidentally collecting data from US citizens. Keeping the data and analysis off shore means no pesky FISA paperwork.

As the movie industry discovered, it’s a dice roll in terms of pissing off the censors. Hard to invest millions when something as stupid as a map can get your game banned.

END of a genetic line, the end of a name, the end of a dynasty, the end of a family. These things are hugely important to people.

Ohhh noo…

Anyway.

It’s pretty concerning if my backup key can just be cloned that easily. It means now I need to invest in a much better safe, which I guess was probably always a good idea.

This is literally the kids sauna in Scandinavian countries

Not everyone is an extrovert. Spending hours doing nothing but making small talk is legitimately excruciating for many people, and it has nothing to do with “skills.” Having a premise for social interaction besides “let’s grill each other for hours” is socially inclusive.

After a certain point of familiarity there just isn’t much left to say.

This makes it seem like jerking off to MILF porn is hard because there is a learning curve

Great so now I will mangle all my merge commits depending on which version the host is using.

The M stands for beefcake

Vim is way easier tho

Where the fuck do you think their list comes from?

And in a lot of jurisdictions, simply getting a driver’s license is enough to get your name on that list,

This is a gross misunderstanding of how DMV voter registration works. The standard voter eligibility checks which are already built into the voter registration process do not disappear at the DMV.

Have these people never registered to vote or something? You already cannot do it without a social security number.

I would definitely wreck myself over anyone in that family.

I am one of the rare people who managed to taper from actual addiction to social drinking. For me it was because I got fat, and then got serious about diet and exercise and then got in shape, and then mostly quit drinking.

Like half the thread, I quit smoking and legitimately feel like it was easy in hindsight. Once I really made up my mind to quit it was not hard. The most difficult part was breaking out of the rituals - smoking in the car, after meals, coffee and a cig…

Honestly I still end up having one every few years when I’m drinking and it’s kind of nice, but I will never go back to being a smoker. Unless I ended up dating a smoker, which I would avoid. Unless they were like really hot. Or rich. I could totally fix them either way

Right, the French authorities are going to present evidence that this dude was aware of specific illegal activity and refuse to comply with a legal warrant involving said actively, making him guilty of obstruction at best, and possibly conspiracy. Signal complies with warrants, they just don’t have anyone’s keys. Telegram has everyone’s keys, and theoretically could turn them over but they refuse. That’s a huge difference from a legal perspective.

This is precisely why opsec is more than just an app.

Leaky keyboards are a possibility, but what is actually far more likely is just that someone on the signal group chat was a mole who was archiving the traffic for the party. Signal has since made efforts to bring anonymous accounts to the platform, which will help thwart such attacks. Though against a state actor it is still not enough unless you take additional measures to obfuscate traffic. And then that still doesn’t protect you against some CCP brownshirt from tailing you and then snatching your phone out of your hand when you unlock it.

In 2009 I had 13k AMD shares at an average cost basis of $2.12.

I sold them in 2011 for ~$8/share.

Those shares are worth around $1.5M today.
