This typa content is gonna put the Onion out of business again

So basically Israel airstriking all of Assad’s military assets because they don’t want the rebels to form them into their forces because they want to ensure a full military advantage.

Dunno how much the rebels will care since they only succeeded due to Assad losing his Russian and Iranian supply chain anyway, but it’s very clearly an attempt to limit their ability to expand.

They’re afraid Syria could pose a geopolitical threat or god forbid actually defend their existence with a real navy or airforce.

I swear I am so close to jumping into the void of mainline linux on phones.

The only main issue is device drivers, but I would be fine happily extracting them from android or making new ones. Modern Android is a complete full stack POS.

KDE for best fully integrated, out of box, modern DE.

XFCE + Compiz if you’re running on lower end hardware (uses less ram and utilizes gpu better). Also if you want even more customization than KDE with the drawback of limited SVG support (and still on X11 if that matters for you)

GNOME if you hate yourself and want to use a knockoff of ChromeOS or Mac.

Cinnamon and MATE if you want to see when GNOME used to be good.

LXQt is the XFCE equivalent of KDE, but is now on wayland with GPU accel, so it can fit the same area as XFCE+Compiz.

Wayfire (compositor) basically Compiz for Wayland if you want all the fancy effects on anything that uses wayland.

omw to tell them I saw the dude on TV for my 50k

U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) is calling for Valve to pull the controversial game Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which has players acting as a Palestinian resistance fighter, from gaming platform Steam.

The game, created by Brazilian developer Nidal Nijm, has already been removed from Steam in several countries, including the United Kingdom, following a request for removal from the U.K. Counter-Terrorism Internet Referral Unit, 404 Media reported. Nijm also said that the game is blocked across the European Union due to EU violations flagged by the French government’s cybercrime unit. In an email from Valve that Nijm showed to Polygon, the violation is of Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2021/784, which addresses the “dissemination of terrorist content online.”

I think the funniest thing here is that this game was made by a Brazilian and it went relatively unknown until some skrub said it was anti semetic after Oct 7, despite having been published since 2022.

The news from only a day ago is already out of date wow.

People thought this was gonna be some extended situation but they really did sweep in only a matter of days.

5th most populous country in the world with practically zero western coverage about the citizens fighting the army and the government.

But when an actual populist was in office every dick wad at NYT and CNN couldn’t shut the fuck up about Imran Khan being some right wing conservative anti semite who criticized US policy.

I’m still waiting to see one of those “steal his look” memes lol

ITT: Braindeads defending government censorship of the internet as if Zuckerberg won’t immediately replace the void with his own platform or by buying out TikTok in a bid.

Banning one platform would not magically get rid of short attention span and brainrot you fools. Every social media company already copied or utilizes the same techniques as TikTok, which is already a massive platform because they don’t spam ban or regulate content as hard as Facebook and YouTube do.

It is insulting that a Chinese run social media platform provides more freedom of speech online than its US competitors.

They’re banning it to remove competition, congress does not care about its effects on privacy or health, otherwise they’d have done something about Faceebook, Insta, Twiiter, and YouTube decades ago. They pulled their usual committee shenanigans to pretend to care by calling in CEOs to testify, and then promptly accepting a shitload of lobbying money.

Are you implying we should firewall free internet like china?

Meme mentions CISA and FBI but everyone knows NSA already has a master list of vulns that they juggle deciding if they’re worth disclosing or better off keeping for themselves lol.

They sat on Eternal Blue for allegedly a decade. Any APT has plenty of time and money to spend attacking America’s public infara when they don’t even bother to cover the bargain basement stuff like the insanity that is Microsoft AD.

I wonder if China is any better with their hefty surveillance and firewall though. I wouldn’t be completely surpised if some of their public infara is also exposed for the same reasons.

lemmy.ml gonna ride this for a month lmao

I did a fresh install of windows 11 and I opened edge the first time only to crash after a second because it couldn’t handle the fact that I wasn’t signed into a Microsoft account.

It crashed immediately every successive attempt to open it.

After the 15th try (mostly for my own amusement) I downloaded Firefox from the windows store so that there’d be a functional browser in the VM I had just set up for someone to use to run essentially the last scamware app he still needs for hopefully not much longer (cough intuit cough)

Unix devs: “Let’s make everything a file in our OS so that it’s easy to use and develop”

Windows devs (clearly on crack): “Let’s store random critical shit in a crappy database registry thing and retain literally all the drawbacks of DOS on our new NT system”

Hired Goons?!

I like how the broke the India-Pakistan ceasfire violations of a year in only a few days.

Wasn’t Forbes also the one who made a recent article about dealing with crappy wages and inflation by skipping breakfast/lunch to cut costs?

Or maybe that was Bloomberg

The TPM is not a dedicated cryptographic processor, it’s an external keystore with a few select functions. You’re thinking of an HSM which is used almost exclusively in servers that have to handle thousands of secrets per second.

CPUs have had dedicated AES hardware for decades which is why LUKS and Bitlocler use it by default.

The TPM just allows certain keys and secrets to be generated and stored physically separate from the CPU as a security measure.

Bitlocker and LUKS will store a master key in the TPM so that you don’t have to enter a password every time you boot. They retrieve it from the TPM and then use it to unlock the actual encryption key which is done entirely in the CPU. If the TPM detects foul play such as secure boot alteration, it will refuse to give the key or clear itself.

Using the TPM for constant encryption like at rest disk encryption would be way too slow.

It’s so so small that most modern TPMs have been integrated into the CPU or even simulated via the motherboard firmware (fTPM and PTT).
