ah yes... the good, the bad, the ugly, the base, and the rust
@Rastal @eunews да, товарищ. Russia is too weak to try invading, please don't arm yourself more, please please.
We're talking about a country insane enough to perform the invasion and keep at the war despite all of the failures and losses. Assuming rationality is not the way to go, making sure to thwart any possible attempt is. Especially if it's done in a way beneficial to the ecology.
Stronger defence and cybersecurity by destroying E2E encryption and requiring surveillance backdoors lol

"Health checks ping servers 10+ times per minute"
"Printer generates 70GB+ of traffic per month while idle"

MRF to randomly insert typos into 1% of your posts
@Mr_NutterButter @matrix that's 'cause Europe isn't the US and a couple of biggest fuckwits (Germany like always, UK which isn't even in the EU, probably France and Sweden like usual) don't represent the whole continent. That's like saying the US has dumb gun and theft laws because California has them.
Here in Poland I can say whatever the fuck I want except for libel (for a good reason and also illegal in the US) and promoting totalitarianism (based, might also be illegal in the US?). And for the former the usual punishment is a public apology, not a bajilion dollar lawsuit, and the latter is not even strictly enforced (shame, commies should get regularly beaten by the police to simulate their desired state without ruining everything for everyone else).
Now, this might get outdated if chat control is passed. We've repelled similar attempts in the past and will hopefully repel this one too. If we don't succeed, it will retroactively make you right.
@VD15 politics is a horror well within our comprehension, which just makes it more depressing

📢📢📢 Urgent call for action against Chat Control!
The EU still wants to pass the infamous "Chat Control" law, that would mandate scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and can transform EU into a digital Gulag. Currently only 3 countries oppose this law, while 15 member states support it and 9 remain indecisive.
This means, the balance can still be shifted! It is very important to influence at least those who are in doubt. For instance, you can contact a MEP (Member of the European Parliament) and demand to oppose to Chat Control.
There is a tool that automates the process of writing and sending such letters:
Please check it out and send at least one letter!

hey guys isn't it soo annoying when you're using an encrypted messaging app and it tells you "could not decrypt" haha
good news: we're working hard on making this illegal. in a way
@EUCommission do you know what journalists need to be free? Safe, encrypted channels of communication that can't be easily sniffed on and censored by their governments. Talking about press freedom when #ChatControl is considered again is circus behaviour.

FYI the ebook of Old Man's War is going for $1.99 here in US/Canada at (most) ebook stores, for, I think, today. Get it! Cheap! And then buy all the rest of the series including the upcoming seventh installment, The Shattering Peace! The cats need tuna!

I am reminded of Pulse on BeOS, which would allow you to disable CPUs on a multiprocessor system by simply unchecking a box in the UI.
There was nothing stopping you from disabling all CPUs.
