To figure out what type of adhesive/glue you need to attach x material to y material

They bought into the colonial system from their very existence. Most of the GCC started out as British backed insurgents against the Ottman empire.

Once they kicked the Ottomans out, they all established hard monarchies to solidify political power, and outsourced their security to the British, who took immediate advantage of the massive oil reserves discovered in the region.

Post WWII, after the British empire collapsed, they transitioned to the US under the same deal.

They make trillions of dollars through oil sold only in USD, which they reinvest into the US economy. The US gets to dictate their foreign policy and use them however they please in exchange.

The benefactors are exclusively the royal families and their friends, which is why KSA and UAE are notorious for human trafficking and exploited foreign labor because they spend none of that money on actually developing their nation’s societies.

They had multiple opportunities not to enter such an exploitable system, but they chose not to, with the grand exception being Iran, which was the only successful overthrow of a US/UK imposed government.

I didn’t mean for FOSS projects actually, I meant the bug bounties run by silicon valley giants lol.

FOSS bug reports are done either out of love or spite lmao.

I don’t want to shame the user, but there was a recent discussion thread on npmplus where someone was using a compose file generated by an LLM and was confused why the hallucinated env variables weren’t working.

The kicker is that npmplus literally gives you a comprehensive and complete compose file with every optional setting commented out with a brief description, so you can just copy and edit to your desire.

Which of course the LLM decided to ignore anyway and come up with its own config options lol.

On a somewhat related note, I feel like bug bounties these days have become sort of under subsidized for well developed applications. All the medium and lower findings payouts are pretty fair, but lots of the high/critical bounties seem a lot less than what I would expect, especially compared to some of the huge prize pools I’ve seen at some conventions (upwards of 50k USD).

I have no idea how much they fetch on the black market, but it seems weird to me that something like an RCE receives less than 10k, which could easily be utilized by some APT to net millions in a more sophisticated ransomware attack.

Ask IT to make their DCs public facing /s

Yeah honestly I look kinda dumb in retrospect lol. I forgot even the Houthis manged to constrict the red sea with an order of magnitude less munitions.

Even better, they even blew up some GCC oil refineries with massive economic effect.

Really holding out on Motorolla to add their announced GrapheneOS support because I want my funni flip phone lol

Within America would be pretty easy, you just have to listen to your constituent demands and acknowledge them publicly with proper respect. Like how Mamdani was literally the only candidate who wasn’t shilling for Israel and actually explained his policy which people wanted.

Internationally, lol it was already down the gutter post WWII. Kind of hard to realive foreign leaders you already assasinated.

It depends whether or not they left the DNS setting unlocked, which is actually highly likely.

Would have to use a public server, but it should in theory work.

Its actually so much funnier watching people compare the “blandness” of the TV to the book lmao.

They specifically advertised that they don’t log IP and access data.

Then they logged and shared access data after the French authorities wanted to know the identity of a French activist.

Then they changed their fine print after sharing that data.

I could understand if Proton was discussing practically any other issue involving the internet. But talking high and mighty about anonymity online is pretty rich coming from them, especially since they don’t provide it.

The other more arguable problem I have is that a solid half of replies to this sentiment is always “swiss law is pretty good, just don’t be a criminal” because:

a. A foreign government got to decide what a “criminal” is, and the Swiss government just followed.

b. Unlike Proton, there have been much better services based in Switzerland that have actually put their money where their mouth is, my favorite being the devs behind Piratebay.

Ah yes, Proton, the company infamous for providing anonymity online, and totally never rugpulling their customers everytime the swiss government rolls up with a search warrant.

It only cost the livelihood of 260 million people, but the ISI has successfully joined hands with Mossad to put Trump on their payroll. And only for the purpose of publicly demeaning India /s

Pakistan being in both the “mutilations and genocide” zone as well as the “dictatorship” zone because the line strikes right though Islamabad.

I’ve been trialing Vaultwarden for a while and while I do like the server sync setup and clean web access, the Bitwarden browser plugin is just okay despite being an “enterprise” solution. It misses probably about 20% of websites when creating a new account, forcing you to grab the password from the generator history and make a new entry manually.

KeepassXC is much better in that regard, and it’s almost as good as the default credential handler of Firefox, and it lets you set up a bunch of custom stuff to extend the functionality if you want. Plus it has some neat kbdx options aside from AES256.

Only downside is syncing, which I’m debating how I’ll deal with something better than syncthing on android (protocol is great, android makes it a PITA to have a background process if its not Google spyware).

Israel was an insane ethnostate movement long before they even gained independence. There’s a reason why an overwhelming majority of former colonial states criticized Israel’s existence during its very inception.

Had the Zionist movement never taken off, Mandatory Palestine would probably have just become a regular old state like Lebanon or Jordan, Lebanon even has a pretty hefty Christian population right after Muslims, yet you don’t see them in some constant genocidal warfare campaign against each other.

Even weirder, Judaism itself was against the idea of forming a Jewish state without a Messiah for thousands of years, but at some point the radical branch became the overwhelming majority. Orthodox Jews are completely outnumbered by their Zionist counterparts which have transformed Judaism into a complete ethnic superiority cult akin to the Aryan superiority of the Nazis. You have to be born a Jew, you can’t just join because you want to (unless you dedicate your entire life into it, and still with caveats).

You’ll see thousands of comments like “Anti-Israel is not Antisemitism”, but at some point you need to address the elephant in the room. The current mainstream “Judaism” is very much an ethnic supremacy group by design. You can’t effectively criticize Israel without pointing out that its actions are overwhelmingly supported by their citizens because of their religion. Everything they do in their eyes is completely justified because they view everyone not in their ethnic group as subhuman.

I still haven’t figured out if Google’s flight search forwards view data similar to checking on the actual airline’s website because I’ve definitely seen price hikes occur in realtime, but I can’t tell if that’s because of constant rechecks close to the flight date, or just the static algorithm increasing the price as the flight date approaches.

Otherwise I’m kind of skeptical of how they allow Google to use such data and present it for free.

Oh no someone said something controversial on the internet, what ever will we do?

Remember when world nuked the piracy community lol.

Unless that instance is causing brigading, what’s the point of banning over a former admin with such a tame username.

This jackass thinks he accomplished the impossible by offering up PAF as a security service and inviting people to a hotel for negotiations which everyone already knew would fail.

He also spent his entire career shanking Pakistan and pummleing it into the ground in literally every aspect which includes hundreds of assasinations, hundreds of thousands of arrests, and Infinite torture to anyone who dares to speak the truth.

Oh and he promoted himself to the lifetime FM position for hiding in a bunker while the PAF did his job for him in 2025 with the skirmish with India.

Most ludicrous crap were their comments and cries of being “neutral” while hundreds of aircraft were actively taking off and landing from their US bases lol. Someone on lemmy was even claiming that Iran shouldn’t have attacked the GCC because they were “nominally neutral” lol.

Iran did what no country has effectively done before; they kicked the American empire in the nuts.

Every country and their mom that bought into the US hegemony is suddenly facing the sharp consequences of an adversary whose original “mistake” was overthrowing its own US backed regime.

Half the UN is calling Iran daily to put on a permanent ceasfire, but now they have zero reason to after crippling the petroleum supply line for only like four and a half weeks.

The temp ceasfire expires in 2 days, and I fully expect the strait to close again for a long time as the fighting resumes.
