Oh right, I didn’t know they had a web version I only saw the local edition. Glad to be corrected.

I mean… I get that a lot of people choose military jobs because they are poor or have limited options, and her response in context is really tone deaf.

But there’s surely a lot of enlistees that choose for very stupid reasons. The US armed services in post-911 were frothing at the mouth to get over to the middle east and exact some vengeance. Bush Jr still holds the highest approval rating of any president since tracking began in 1945.

Nah this new Euro-Office is literally a OnlyOffice fork according to their GitHub. It’s much closer in comparison to LibreOffice than Google docs.

They have worked with NextCloud to make Euro-Office an app/add-on (I forget what NextCloud calls them specifically) from this release (v1.0), so that they can integrate with a platform that already… Has this feature (with Collabora office), but hey… The more the merrier.

NextCloud is a contributor, I believe the screenshot they’re using is to show that Euro-Office can be used as an integration/app in NextCloud as of now.

Euro-Office seems based mostly on OnlyOffice if I’m reading their source page correctly. It’s a competor to LibreOffice more than a whole platform.

Me reading my inbox today…

‘uhh… wtf did I write last night??’

Maybe so, but it’s a terrible defence as the lawyer stated it.

Like the lawyer is in a Hawaiian court and says what boils down to “bro the natives only hate him cos he’s white - plus they way more seals your honour”. That’s a terrible argument. 1) know your audience. 2) “a different race also broke the law” is not a defence. P. S. Didn’t downvote, I appreciate the attempted explanation.

If said video existed I’d hypothetically offer the karma-deliverer a drink of their choice.

Igor Lytvynchuk can get fucked.

So can his lawyer… Claims his client was “brutally assaulted”… No photos, no police report. OK buddy. And Wtf kind of racist-adjacent statement is this:

The attorney also suggested his client is being unfairly targeted as a “white outsider,” claiming, “The vast majority of attacks on monk seal and turtle are by locals.”

“[This new amendment is] proposed by the same lawmaker who wrote the original law”

Woah. I guess the people who overreacted and claimed this was a secret conspiracy to gain full personal ID of everyone on the internet in some grand globalist scheme must be feeling pretty silly right now.

Good. The tail has wagged the dog for decades. US backing reducing support for Israel may make them reconsider their extremely hostile approach to neighboring countries.

And if the Israeli public are unhappy about this, maybe they should have jailed their criminal prime minister years ago on the mountains of evidence they have, instead of making him the longest-serving PM ever, all while cheering on the war in Iran.

Worry about threats from Iran and its allies are probably behind polling that showed strong Israeli support for the decision to go to war with Iran, even after weeks of missile attacks.

Immediately after the ceasefire, more than a third of Jewish Israelis said they were very or somewhat unhappy about it, compared with just over a quarter who were very or somewhat happy the fighting stopped, according to the Israel Democracy Institute.

To those fretting: there is a wide margin between a legit VPN service and these guys. Interpol are not coming for your paid run-of-the-mill VPN provider.

I hadn’t even heard of 1VPN prior to this story, and the reason is that they advertise almost exclusively on cybercrime forums - mentioned multiple times in the article.

The administration/owner of this VPN service explicitly tailored their business to enabling cybercrime. That’s real stupid, because it means you become a legitimate law enforcement target as an accomplice with prior knowledge / facilitator to a crime, and generally explicitly waives your immunity rights as a service provider under legal frameworks like EU DSA.

Dutch police stressed that this particular VPN service “was considered criminal, because it specifically targeted cyber criminals.”

First VPN “mainly advertised on the cyber criminal forums known to the police and thus expressly approached cyber criminals as potential clients,” Dutch police said. “The website of the service also stated that any cooperation with the judiciary would be denied, that the service was not subject to any jurisdiction".

Lol. There is no country on earth that is not subject to any jurisdiction - as the VPN provider and users found out.

Any legit VPN has a thorough ToS/policy to explain acceptable and unacceptable use of their systems (including any illlegal use like crimes/DDOS/etc), and to cover the legal jurisdiction they fall under and what they do when recieving legal court orders.

If anything, be pissed that this intentional cybercrime service tarnished the concept of VPNs a little, not that they were pursued and busted. Your legit provider is safe.

Fantastic outcome. Great to see people striking when their concerns are not answered and unions coordinating.

How is a ‘lifetime pass’ a subscription? 🤔

(Edit)

I’m tired and rambling. Don’t mind me.

Only a bit over a year into Trump presidency 2.0 and he’s already fleeced over $1.2bil directly out of government coffers and into his own back pocket, and torn down sooo many important institutions.

I wonder what General Strike has to say about all this.

Six months of exposure.

There is zero chance that the CISA systems have not been comprehensively breeched by every foreign adversary.

Good thing Trump cut 1/4 of their workforce last year. It’s really paying dividends for Putin.

This is really damning evidence of AI’s vaporware benefits tbh.

As LLMs key functionality is supposed to be their ability to take a body of work (training data) and then take natural language input to deliver valuable and accurate natural language outputs, automated helpdesk and call centers are supposedly their absolute bread-and-butter low challenge implementation cases.

And yet… Here we are. They still aren’t anywhere near the quality or value of just hiring people.

Was running VMs for various learning courses etc for work.

It still runs about 80% nowadays with no VMs running and just with the amount of browser tabs and background shit I leave running.

I still play Helldivers 2 on this long-toothed beast, but I do have to live with a fairly low framerate and make sure I don’t leave too many processes open in the background (its a CPU intensive hodgepodge of a game engine). Most other newish games work fine in 1080p to be honest. I haven’t been keeping up with the latest and greatest either.

Modest framerate don’t bother me much because I’m from the era of 320x240 games.

Giving up Taiwan would devastate the US tech industry that use them as a first-class manufacturing and R&D arm.

Remind me again how much of the US GPD and stock market relies on tech stocks?

Though my bet is this is just Trump’s way of squeezing more bribes out of everyone involved, and nothing will change significantly for Taiwan.
