Intel Management Engine is already a back door, and US capital doesn’t need laws to agree to give the US government access to said back doors. They’re on the same side.

news@hexbear.net•US and Russia Plan Ukraine Truce Deal to Cement Putin’s GainsEnglish
13·4 months agohis forces illegally annexed in 2014
Also this whole myth that Putin personally annexed Donbas a decade ago, instead of the people there voting to cecede and getting shelled by the Kiev regime for eight years before Russia finally caved and went to help.
I just grabbed a 9060XT open box deal without thinking about driver support, I’m using Mint 22.1 as well. YMMV but I can’t get any kernel besides 6.8 to boot, not even the Mint supported 6.11 HWE. Video output works but the drivers don’t load and even scrolling down a webpage gives me screen tearing. I did get a more recent Mesa version with the kisak ppa but it hasn’t helped. Can’t even go above 60Hz refresh rate.
I tried Ubuntu 25.04 on a LiveUSB and it’s basically plug and play and might have even automatically switched to the 144Hz monitor refresh rate.
I don’t have a whole lot of time for getting a new distro set up right now. I will wait until Mint 22.2 (coming soon? with a newer kernel hopefully) and see how that goes.
I write notes in markdown (I’m not attached to any particular editor) and push them to a self hosted git server. Git therefore also helps handle any merge conflicts between devices.

Yes, as the Trump admin clearly proves, they follow the law to the letter.

38·8 months agoIf the goal of this wasn’t oppression and ultimately eugenics it could make for a useful policy (in a better world where we actually take care of each other).
Neurodivergent people, IIRC especially autistic people are much more likely to identify as LGBTQ. And while research, education, and communication about neurodivergence are getting better, a lot of people fall through the cracks and are incorrectly diagnosed or not diagnosed at all.

The Android private DNS setting is just for a DNS-over-TLS resolver. The only thing about it that’s private is your queries are encrypted en route to the server (traditonal DNS is cleartext). There’s no filtering or blocking.
Some Android versions also have a hard coded DNS server set to Google, which based on my tinkering uses DNS-over-HTTPS. Not only is it annoying but I find it awfully insecure - even if you think you have stuff locked down it might just not be. I fixed that issue by blocking all DNS-over-HTTPS servers in my router, and also have all outgoing requests to port 53 redirected to my local resolvers (Pihole + Unbound).

32·8 months agoAs is typical with capitalists, their greed comes first. They have securitized and derivated student debt much like mortgage debt in the 2000s. I’m sure there’s a way to roll all that back (besides a 2008 type crash) but not without massive costs and losses.

A VPN doesn’t provide this on its own. Nothing does.
“Better than a VPN” but it looks more like some decentralised social and content network. So not a replacement or alternative to a VPN in any way. It just preys on the people who already bought the “VPNs make you private online” marketing.
Looks like a silicon valley VC cash grab.




While I wouldn’t put this past the Springer Presse, this comes off as fake to me. There is a different video on the Bild site which isn’t cut off and has a different interviewer/moderator.
