The scam that has passed the test of time. So scamming good, that even communists turn to it!

Yeah, I kind of agree. Some of them are amusing though, even if they sometimes have trouble stringing coherent sentences together (probably why they are accused of being bots) and many have the same circular talking points and recurring memes (pretty sure they have a conversation flowchart to try and keep themselves on track, much like telemarketers).

Others seem like normal people / typical idealists.

I found the average lemmygrad commenter more engaged and coherent, though. So if that is the bar for this instance, then I suppose hexbear is below it.

I vaguely remember this. Was the proposed law limited to in-person serious crimes like murder, or was it overly broad?

I can’t imagine that many of the protesters were against prosecuting a murderer, but there are laws, and then there are laws.

I can’t find any direct linkage from their soc.mil page (today) to that Facebook or YT. It has been around a while though, so it probably is.

Here is a reaction video from a year ago, where they make fun of it for misrepresenting psyops’ job description in the video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=opUsImaNbiE

I run a particular online windows game in a modded offline mode under Linux in network isolation and with a restricted apparmor profile. So far so good. Logs show no attempts to break out, except for the smoke test I run to ensure the sandbox is working. This is as much because of the random mods I install as the original devs (who could ban my online account).

On Windows, a VM would indeed be safer. GPU passthrough is possible … I guess easier with Windows using an onboard GPU, then passing a discrete GPU to the VM. You’ll lose some performance with a VM regardless, but it’s easy to disable networking, back up and restore from a known good state, and burn it to the ground when needed.

Who cares?

My company’s 9,000 CentOS machines and over 100,000 containers now mostly run Amazon Linux or Alpine. Rocky Linux was preferred by some, but we led the way and the rest followed. Our final licensed RH systems will also disappear this quarter (legacies of a DC-centric era), and we will be free of them.

It was inertia that kept us with RH, but their bad faith moves kicked us into action. We now have better security tooling and processes all around, too.

Good riddance, Red Hat (and IBM, until your next acquisition and corporate strangling)!

Hey Egon. What are your thoughts on this? I’d be happy to go private, if you prefer.

List away, I’ll get to them. :-)

So, silly promo videos aside, what is the difference between US psyops, Russian psyops, and China psyops?

Is there a reason why one deserves more derision than the others?

It seems like BAU for “great powers” to try to extend their influence beyond their borders to the benefit of their national interests.

Thanks! I’ll add these to my reading list.
