  • And the network transparency argument is long gone. While you can indeed network windows over the wire, most toolkits use client side rendering/decorations. So you’re just sending bloated pixmaps across the wire when things like RDP , VNC, etc deal better with compression, damage to the window, etc. And anything relying or accelerated with DRI3 is just NOT network transparent.

    Most modern toolkits have moved past X11 because the X protocol was severely lacking, and there wasn’t a good way as a committee to modify the protocol in an unified manner. I mean look at the entire moving Earth that it took for XFixes and Damage extensions. Toolkits wanted deep access to the underlying hardware and so they would go out of their way to work around X, because it just could not keep up.


  • Shapiro’s previously unreported disclosure, dated Friday, came as part of a list of “corrections” to testimony by top SSA officials during last year’s legal battles over DOGE’s access to Social Security data. They revealed that DOGE team members shared data on unapproved “third-party” servers and may have accessed private information that had been ruled off-limits by a court at the time

    Wow… Such shock… Much surprise.

    Yeah, they basically were sending XSLs,CSVs of everyone’s shit over non secure channels like Cloudflare shares, that had unknown people in it who didn’t work for the Government.

    Because they’re all fucking amateur idiots who think they know what the fuck they’re doing and they don’t. So shit like “Hey brah, pass me that sheet you were working on. NP, posted the link in the Molon labe Discord channel, hey you should check the meme BindensProstate6969 posted LOLOL.”

    I mean why did anyone think anything different was ever going to come of this? And now a bunch of private citizen unknowns who are a loose collective fringe group and believe crazy shit has everyone’s details.


  • Yes, this has a name. Asymmetric warfare. Anyone at the other end of the US military has to engage in it at the present time and considering that the United States will likely vote a Trump 2.0 President down the road is what is driving a lot of these countries to begin ramping up domestic weapon production.

    All this will do is take resources that have long since been something given to the people and redirect it to building weapons until the entire world is armed to the teeth and we are exactly where we were just before World War I. However, this will make those who profit from war even richer along the way and thus the people are robbed of a world we could of had of shared opportunity, just because some rich assholes in the United States wanted more money.






  • Oh man it’s pretty bad. Heads for the hip bone first and then climbs it’s way up your spinal column and into your ribs. The space between your skin and ribs basically turns into sandpaper and it just eats away at your nerve bundles within your spinal cord. All the while it’ll build this extracellular material that basically acts as a wall to prevent cancer treatments and pain medication from getting in.

    And in all of this the cancer is using the damage it’s causing to healthy cells to feed itself. It’s really high up there in incredibly painful ways to die. Makes up less than 1% of all prostate cancers, but has to be the most shit lotto to win.






  • Why are all these politicians so interested in Crypto?

    One can only wonder.

    Analysis shows that a wallet linked to the token’s deployer removed approximately $2.43 million in USDC liquidity shortly after the peak.

    Yeah so this is classic rug pull. Hype, get it into retail, have automated buy in, pull liquidity. Maybe put it back a bit and pocket the fees for retail going crazy.

    I read somewhere on here someone say “people wouldn’t have enough time to get scammed.” A lot of this is all bots buying, including small time players who are just using something like Freqtrade python scripts for buying and selling. No one is doing actual research, they’re just a program watching microtransactions. Thirty minutes is eternity.

    But yeah, this is exactly why you see so many bros so strong on this and why politicians and Governments are getting into it. The early days are like the early days of completely unregulated stock markets. It’s cash grabs everywhere. Down the road, there’s going to be this moment of ladder pulling to “keep everyone safe”.


  • The Soviet Union isn’t actively moving a part of it’s nuclear arsenal to the island.

    The entire aspect of the crisis was weapons that could actually reach mainland US.

    At the moment, no one who borders the Gulf of Mexico has weaponry that could reach say Miami or say Texas City a more strategic point.

    So there’s a sense of security by distance in the United States. Now the thing is, this whole thing changes the second any one of these nations procure a medium range weapon. That was the missile crisis. The US found out the USSR was trying to send long range missiles that could strike deep inside US territory.

    The same would be true here. The second any of these nations obtain a missile that can hit the US the whole calculus changes.

    Can you imagine? “Oh yeah, we invaded Venezuela but they have the ability to start blowing up condos from their own nation.” People would be a whole lot more upset than they are currently.






  • This is a few counties over from where I’m at, but the biggest thing was Channel 5 News did an interview with the Sheriff and he basically admitted on air that the guy wasn’t guilty.

    Like I can not stress how much the State’s county DA and Sheriff have fumbled this case and basically handed this guy a blank check.

    And the thing is, while a majority of folks were okay at one point for punishing guy over his meme, the county has all but replaced all that with disgust how how terrible the cops have handled this.

    Like they’re still upset about the meme, but nowhere near as upset with how self destructive the Sheriff’s department has been.
