wahming,

Based on OP’s comments on this thread, I can only imagine what the modding of the community is going to look like

wahming,

I haven’t even gone into my personal opinions, but gj on deducing them.

Just what the fediverse needs. Another pit of toxicity and baseless witch hunting.

wahming,

It’s not niche! There are dozens of us!

wahming,

The botnet in this case it’s called NTP

wahming,

The Tor analysis is suspect in the first place. The whole thing is much ado over nothing.

Cryptographers Just Got Closer to Enabling Fully Private Internet Searches (www.wired.com)

" three researchers have crafted a long-sought version of private information retrieval and extended it to build a more general privacy strategy. The work, which received a Best Paper Award in June 2023 at the annual Symposium on Theory of Computing, topples a major theoretical barrier on the way to a truly private search."

wahming,

It’s already drowned out by low quality SEO spam, so no difference

What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...

wahming,

Funny, that’s when I give up for the night and go to sleep

wahming,

This seems like a great way to stand up and accidentally brick my laptop

wahming,

Well it mentioned shredding the encryption keys, and I was combining that with full disk encryption.

wahming,

It’s hard to tell from OP’s English, but I think he’s just running low on space?

‘It’s difficult to survive’: China’s LGBTQ+ advocates​ face jail and forced confession (www.theguardian.com)

In recent years, China’s LGBTQ+ community has been swept up in the Chinese Communist party’s broader crackdown on civil society and freedom of expression. In May 2023, a well known LGBTQ+ advocacy group in Beijing announced it was closing due to “unavoidable” circumstances. Last February, two university students filed a...

wahming,

Did you read the article beyond the first paragraph? ONE case was related to a ‘kidnapping’ accusation. The rest of the examples have been about systematic persecution of LGBT related parties

wahming,

As per the article, the reasons for the arrests are kidnapping

As I pointed out, kidnapping is a side issue, and unrelated to the majority of the cases.

this is not exactly an LGBTQ+ issue.

But it’s not the government pushing this.

From the article:

In recent years, China’s LGBTQ+ community has been swept up in the Chinese Communist party’s broader crackdown on civil society and freedom of expression. In May 2023, a well known LGBTQ+ advocacy group in Beijing announced it was closing due to “unavoidable” circumstances. Last February, two university students filed a lawsuit against the education ministry after they were punished for distributing rainbow flags on campus.

In 2021, the founder of another group, LGBT Rights Advocacy China, was detained and released on condition that he close the organisation, which shuttered shortly after. That year, dozens of social media accounts associated with university campus LGBTQ+ movements were also shut without warning. Shanghai Pride, the country’s longest-running celebration for sexual minorities, ended in 2020.

How is this not directly caused by the govt, and ‘not exactly an LGBTQ+ issue’?

wahming,

Ok, so it’s semantics.

Look, if the LGBT population is being persecuted for being LGBT, that makes it an LGBT issue. If others are being affected as well, that means there are multiple, and broader issues, but that doesn’t make it any less an issue for the LGBT population. And it is very much being pushed by the govt.

wahming,

What is with that stance?

‘They’re being persecuted for being LGBT, but others are being persecuted as well for unrelated reasons, so it’s not an LGBT issue’.

If you’re being persecuted for being LGBT, it’s an LGBT issue! It doesn’t matter who else is being persecuted, it’s not mutually exclusive!

wahming,

Can you provide some examples of software benefiting from IP protections like you mention?

wahming,

You said ‘if people figure it out anyway’, so I was interested in an example where people are able to figure it out but not allowed to duplicate it

wahming,

Are reverse engineering software and binary patches currently illegal?

wahming,

Uh, genuine interest?

wahming,

That’s a really tough laptop, I’d get that

wahming,

We’ve kinda figured out suburbia is really bad for multiple reasons though

wahming,

Coining the term? Using fu as a suffix has been around since the Bruce Lee era.
