I use Voyager (and boost, and sync before that). I like Voyager (now that I’m used to it), but I wish the medium sized thumbnails in compact mode were slightly larger.

There’s an awful lot of billionaires. Don’t want it to take too long or we’ll be hacking at necks all day.

I feel like this belongs on the powertrippinbastards com.

Or even the reddit community.

The majority of fake influencers? Or the majority of sock puppet accounts?

Also, would you like a breakdown of USA/India relations over the last 50 or so years because that’s a quagmire in and of itself.

India and China Historically don’t get along but India and China have been in talks centered around trade because of US Tariffs.

I chalk it up to what people can be paid to do in those countries. We already know there are social media influencer accounts based in Asian countries. We have seen farms where it’s just cubby after cubby of people trying on clothes and taking pictures and so on.

If they can be paid to lie about and model a bunch of fast fashion clothing and accessories, they can be paid to run sock puppet social media accounts for the purposes of meddling in the politics of another country. And China is and has been an adversary of the USA for decades.

I mean. Google literally just announced their new Aluminum OS. Like. 2-3 days ago I saw an article about it. Let me find it.

I see some suggestions on Reddit that it might be useable on phones. Nothing about that in the article so far as I read.

I’m gonna get the freeware version just for the nostalgia. I used to beat the piss out of my little brother in this game.

On the positive side though, following all that backlash, Microsoft acknowledged Windows has issues, and as if on cue, the company in a new support article has admitted that there are problems on almost every major Windows 11 core feature. The issues are related to XAML and this impacts all the Shell components like the Start Menu, Taskbar, Explorer, and Windows Settings.

• Explorer.exe crash
• shelhost.exe crash
• StartMenuExperienceHost issues
• System Settings silently fails to launch
• Application crashes when initializing the XAML views
• Explorer running but no taskbar window.
• other XAML island views fail to initialize.
• ImmersiveShell problems

I remember one must fall 2097!

Glen and Friends has never let me down. I’d recommend the channel.

That’s not the question you asked.

Windows 1.0 launched in 1985. Which was 40 years ago.

I’ve been looking for this option.

Being able to replay a cutscene would also be nice.

Removing an earring?

I agree that you’re right. My thought was it was more likely that they socially engineered their way into getting invited to the chat.

This is why I said that a lot of people are the weakest link in their own secured communications networks.

Yeah. I dunno man. I’m sorry.

But like. A lot of the time security/privacy fails like this are user-inflicted. Either because people don’t understand the apps and services they use, or because other people aren’t as vigilant about auditing their networks (the people, the hardware the software).

That’s why I said an app like signal. People assume that every app works the same. Telegram had issues with encryption where all parties didn’t have encryption enabled but one or more of the parties involved assumed the chat was still encrypted.

However I should probably change that to read more along the lines of: know the features and settings of your app and ensure that encryption settings are set to maximize the protection of privacy.

I’m gonna have to workshop that. It’s a mouthful.

Either way, thank you for pointing that out.

I don’t know who still needs to hear this, so I’m going to say it again for the people in the back.

Assume every form of communication you have is being spied on.

If you’re using an app like signal or similar, make sure you and everyone else in the chat has encryption enabled.

Verify the other users in the chat.

Do not plan any activity that could be considered a criminal enterprise on an electronic device with a connection to the internet.

The court ruled that cloudflare made it too easy to register an account and create a domain. And that they didn’t do enough to prevent those domains from being used for piracy.

Apparently under Japanese law that’s the barrier of proof they needed to cross.
