    He actually offered to return to the US if they accepted that he would be given a public trial and not a military trial.

    Obama’s administration rejected the idea and said that their only guarantee they would give was that they wouldn’t torture him.

    Just to add my 2 cents: the list of countries that the US can’t extradite is not that long, especially when you exposed government corruption of the highest degree and you are considered a traitor.

    Just to add, Snowden also indirectly exposed the US’s leverage in several countries that you would otherwise assume would not cooperate with the US in any capacity.

    The fact that he ended up in Russia was because he couldn’t proceed to Ecuador which was his original planned location of asylum after leaving to Hong Kong.

    There are really very few countries the US can’t realistically coerce or run a black ops mission to go after him. China didn’t want the political baggage for no gain and Iran can’t even protect its own leaders from strategic bombing.

    That leaves basically Russia and its less than ideal former soviet allies.





  • I never understand the mentality of accelerationists.

    They truly believe all of the evil crap they do is somehow absolved because they’re bringing on judgement day faster as if that has any relation on what you did as a person. And not just to Muslims, they trample over their own Christians living around Jerusalem because they want to see the return of Jesus.

    It’d be like a guy speedrunning crimes so that the justice department makes him a high priority to arrest and prosecute, but that will also somehow nullify all of his crimes because… the court trial was scheduled early???

    Even if you ignore that they clearly don’t like reading or following Jesus’s own teachings, it is absurd logic to think that funding a genocide and the destruction of the west bank would never be questioned in morality.

    Passkeys and 1FA were always just a duct tape solution for users resuing basic passwords without having to set a stronger password requirement or relying on users to use a strong password.

    I think Chrome and Firefox should have decided on making an API for their builtin password generation and filling functions, that way any password manager would be able to integrate with foolproof functionality out of box.

    People already use browser auto gen passwords for the reason that its faster and usually has an account sync built in. Now it would work with any 3rd party solution as well which covers enterprise and security minded users as well.

    Users won’t use a password manager if it means you have to manually make an entry everytime you make an account.


  • The most junk hack I ever did (that somehow worked) was replacing a Tensorflow 1.x library set with the Tensorflow 2.x library set and keeping the original 1.x symlink so that the software using it would think it’s still the 1.x. .so file lol.

    I presume the API had some deprecated fallback for poorly migrated software, which is why it worked without complaints.

    Also bazel is by far the worst build system I have ever used.






  • I don’t want to run a separate database or anything complex, so things like Immich or Photoprism are not an option.

    Why not just use podman and let it handle itself? Unless you’re planning on hosting like maybe several million photos, I doubt you would ever need to manually set up a DB.

    Just download the compose file, add your photo directory paths to it, and let it start and never think about it again until you feel like updating for some new feature months later.





  • He was thrown in jail for challenging the Military’s relationship of sucking Uncle Sam’s foreign policy demands and now the nation is so broke that they’re selling fake military alliance deals to forgive all the insane loans they took out from their surrounding neighbors after the immediiate economic fallout.

    All while also pretending to be a relevant faction in the Iran war.

    Imran Khan was probably the greatest ace card Pakistan had to reverse decades of systemic failure in development and the Army threw it all away so some general could run his papa john’s pizza franchises in America with stolen Pakistani tax money.
