intel management engine and other hardware backdoors were never exploited by any actor of any caliber successfully enough to make any difference — the weakest link was always something else. the biggest negative impact built-in hardware backdoors have on privacy as an institution is that when people find out they exist, they say "okay, they got me, there is nowhere to run, so I can either go live in the forest or accept my fate and carry on using windows."
that was exactly their intent all along. in reality, you _do_ have a choice. using Linux _does_ save you from their eyes.
hardware backdoors were _never_ successfully exploited.

Fedora sucks harder than I do

Got this message from my CEO: "When are we going to have a perfect working version? 100% sure without bugs? "

How do I even respond to this? "We are wondering the same"?

(for context, he requested an early alpha build of a certain feature)

I hate wen people nag. If I say I'm going to do something, I'll do it.

You don't need to whine every six months

Sid teaches us the importance of mother's love. Because motherless child grows up to be a spiteful, butthurt person like Sid.

retoor teaches us the importance of father's love. You get the idea.

when an Indian say "you don't need privacy if you have nothing to hide", you call him "pajeet". when an American say that, you call him "strong leader". Guys, learn the difference already!

Is VSCode Copilot Edit chat/agent not working for anyone else? ....

So I do some custom development I run a docker container and want to access the web page from my phone hosted from my PC but first want to test if is reachable with the IP of my machine I put http://192.168.1.126 :9123 into the address bar of Firefox, and get redirected to google search.
Fcuk Firefox, I used this browser for years but no more, all this great privacy and security is a junk. Can't paste images to Web WhatsApp because of some security bullshit!
Switched to Librewolf but generally fcuk all browsers for http:// forced to https , the browser should be smart to detect 192.168.x.x IP and not redirect knowing it's fcuking local address!

Let's talk baby

Hey maybe instead of stupid we just let the last decade stand and just fix the problems dirty fucks caused and kill all of them in the most efficient way possible and just create a happy light filled society after the trash is set out to the curb ? Remember? Jesus. Stop holding happiness hostage you fucking fucks! And get your own fucking lives I want my fucking money back I worked for and to relax in the present not be reminded of all the trashy evil bastards that should have stayed dead.

life is a series of

"fuck it's so bad"

and

"well this is easy compared to what I just went through, pish posh"

and then you're high on your high horse

and then you realize just how damned bad things can be. it's damned nuts. you would've never imagined.

and how are you still alive then?

remember when every day wasn't a struggle against not being dead? I guess eventually you get so close to death you don't get to surf out of that one final wave successfully

... wow can't even have YouTube find songs I have full titles for now. tech just keeps getting worse. how can I emo out like this, when the emo'ing spawns more emo'ing before I can finish my prior emo'ing?! AHHH!

Didn't I already ask if rust at least doesn't bomb quietly like a program written in c does when unmanaged?

You know I had a significant learning curve thrown my way having to try to debug c/c++ code.

I can mostly read it but I've barely written anything in it

Have wrapped it 😀

<Neo> Do you ever have that feeling... where your eyes burn and feel tired out...?

<Choi> All the time. It's called rest. It's the only way to fly..

<DuJour> Come on, it'll be fun. I promise.

<Neo> Yeah, sure, I'll go.

One thing that I've noticed after getting married, is the fact that I have to be careful when I'm switching sleep positions while my wife is asleep next to me. I can't just flail like that.

Because there is a high probability that my elbow can go into her jaw and knock her out.

Email is not private by design. Encrypted email services might as well be honeypots you pay for — that would make for such a great surveillance strategy.

Can you twat my cunt through your butthole? (The answer is yes)

How get a job in it without any kind of experience ? Is it possible or not if yes then how?
