It potentially is a fake “cover” article, literally an article made to deluge the internet search index with the keywords “epstein” and “trump” but with a less heinous and more confusing, not damning headline (the only thing most people read). Thus anybody searching for the keywords in the future will find nothing (in the first page of google, bing, or brainrot character generator matrix of your choice)

Apparently they do this quite a lot in UK, i’ve heard (Boris). Once you know it, you see it a lot.

Just reading the actual “article” is usually wild, quality worse than tabloids, and you’re left confused, because why would someone spend time and effort writing an article that is not interesting in any way, completely unfounded, just plain nothing. Well, the reason is usually they did have a reason, and the reason was money and malicious. These days it’s most likely AI slop.

There is nothing short of non-fascistic government-forced bankcrupcy sell off that will actually make it cheap, so… I feel it is a pipe dream

Fuck you, take the upvote

It is sad and mystically abysmally ironic that all the books written about dystopias are seemingly being read as manuals

I think you’re right on your first sentence. Second one is entirely superfluous; and doesn’t have substance in support for the question.

There is definitely an amount of valid secrecy in positions of power, half of politics would collapse if they couldnt corroborate their eggs in order in their coop. With regards to authority that defines what should be publicly auditable, it’s rather a chicken and egg situation.

Before I hatch any more puns, generally politician’s privacy at work, or anything related to their position << civilian privacy should be definitely the case. I do like the idea.

Driving the Untermensch metaphor pretty hard here I see.

How can we be sure?

I can’t tell… are people unironically upvoting this?

SecureErase would overwrite the whole drive (potentially multiple times). So if the ssd was close to dead, it might have just triggered it.

“Has” is a bit strong at the start of the war (2014). The revolution of dignity built actual sovereignty by slowly ousting the puppeteers. At the start of the major conflict (2022), the Ukrainian identity was only a fraction of how strong it is now.

In the end, there is perhaps some conspirational truth to what he said. Heavy hints that Russia invaded exactly after Maidan (2014), “separatists super unhappy with less ties with Russia and revolted too”, in the same week, is the weakest shit I have ever seen. Happy for 25 years, suddenly revolted. And Russia brought a whole occupational army to help the poor peacefully seceding citizens. Doesnt take a genius to see it’s just an already planned out show of force, “You don’t suckle on great big Russia’s teet, so we can slowly eat you? Then I will take your lands”

I think the healthy approach is to let it play out, and stop “meddling” as usual with the “free” market. Everybody’s observing free market karma at play. Let it happen, as much as it will. All those intel mbas deserve it completely.

So far AMD has a good history of not being evil.

The aggression is warranted because you contested his facts without any evidence on your part, especially on a likely emotionally loaded situation. Just abstract “what if not”. Any debate would laugh you out of the room.

Not only is any sane person declaring that it’s fact that the current conflict is unprovoked and military expansion, but it’s also clearly labelled so in ICJ, which is, as much as you would want to believe otherwise, impartial as possible and extremely reserved to truly proven guilty verdicts.

Making more walled gardens would probably only polarize society more, not help it. But the emotion is understandable.

Refer to other comment. They don’t see “VPN traffic”, they see encrypted tunnels between two ports to some offshore vps. At best, they see a header saying “openvpn”. The article is alluding to the country effectively wanting to crack down on encrypted tunnels (because you cannot discriminate VPNs from them). At best, maybe they’re just christofascist idiots.

Fair enough

if the LGBTQ+ games were not sexual in nature (why does it not say?), then that is quite damning and I approve of this conspiracy theory.

Since fiat currencies are not connected to gold… no problem?

Actually, it’s enough for building the Pentagon for its original budget (43million in 1941) adjusted to inflation: 767 million. Though building materials and labour are starkly cheaper now, so maybe 2 or 3 Pentagons

Essentially, cancelling public holidays will in short term add some slave labourto the company, which in turn maybe add more profits, more b2b economical activity, and if France has any decent corporate tax and not too many loopholes, some money will go into budget to be allocated to usual overspending that got you into this place, and none to repay debts.

Tldr: you’re being screwed over, go protest, or ask for raises when this actually occurs.
