    1915 Lemmy lib: “God the German propaganda on .ml is intense”

    The propaganda: Peace pls yes-honey-left

    Any info I encounter contrary to the interests of my preferred empire must be the work of the dastardly Foreigner. If the other side wanted peace they should simply unconditionally surrender imaginator (skull can barely contain brain of this size)

    And if they won’t, we Ukrainians must be willing to give up their lives in a total war until victory (which is going well and good and can be expected to end in that outcome)

    Russia’s terms have been quite clear since the beginning of the war: a neutral, non-West-aligned Ukraine and the official ceding of Crimea and the breakaway republics. Even regardless of how you feel about those issues, how does it benefit you or the average Ukrainian to keep fighting over this? It is such a pointless, devastating loss of life over shit that obviously represents larger geopolitical issues for the West and Russia while Ukraine is turned into a literal wasteland (omg and the Ukrainian side has been financed by massive Western loans doomer, even if Ukraine “wins” they are gonna be fucked when the creditors come for their repayments after the war which is intentional ofc, will probably result in even more IMF austerity plans and poverty)

    Idk, maybe the Ukrainian side could get better terms (they def could have earlier) but they have just refused to actually negotiate (beyond telling the world how “open” they to are it lol) and have taken your total victory position. Ofc there is so much more to say but yeh

    Idk what tone you meant for that exactly but, asking genuinely, why do you dislike them? I just use cuz they’re fun imo and sometimes help clarify meaning of sentences. I do try to be cognizant of where I am on our federated network and avoid using the ones that represent some kind of Hexbear inside joke lol, like those ones don’t. I know I’m not alone in using them for those reasons cuz even Reddit supports inline reaction images these days lol. Besides all the social platforms supporting them (mainly cuz people like to use them imo), even Unicode’s emoji partly consist of a bunch of assignments for common reaction images lol (although, 🤓, cuz they do have to work in a global context they are usually much more strictly semantically defined and unspecific)











  • He rented all types of servers around the country in the cloud and designed a denial of service (DoS) attack

    doug-clap What a uniquely skilled individual!

    His feat did not go unnoticed. Over the next year he had meetings with officials from the United States Cyber Command, the branch of the armed forces dedicated to this field. He also met with officers from the Marines, the Space Operations Command and intelligence (NSA). Cáceres shared with them the keys to his successful operation and told them that, in his opinion, similar operations could be carried out with small commandos of two to four hackers. That would give them agility, autonomy and the ability to react.

    Me, a cyber-commando, dressing up in full tactical gear, ready for anything, for the trip from my gaming chair to my refrigerator to get beer while I watch my rented Azure servers send spam to a small country’s routers

    He tried, but failed. “To do anything you need authorization, which takes six months to get. And when you get it, what you wanted to do no longer works. That is the reality here in the U.S.: we have very, very good people working on our cyber defense, but they are hogtied. They can’t do anything, even though I know we have the resources to do a lot.”

    Smh our bureaucratic government won’t approve my request to start a war with the DPRK from my couch

    If he did this to any other small nation, especially a US-aligned one, he would be charged with a serious crime. The US can’t openly do electronic warfare but they can stand by and watch this clown do what basically amounts to cyber-terrorism, a least for a little while

    Anyway, now that he doxxed himself I hope the DPRK actually gives him something to fear lol

    Also

    And ever since he took down the internet in North Korea, he has also been approached by the National Security Agency (NSA). Everyone wanted to know how he did it.

    Lmao

    This is peak journalism, they obviously took him at his word
