“the job market is so fucked up so but I’ve done a lot of open source work, here’s my Github”

The rubber keyboard was pretty weird first, felt a lot like cheap pocket calculator, but once you got used to the BASIC shortcuts, you could program like a champ on it.

!environment@beehaw.org used to be cool, but it’s heating up!

These attacks range from phishing attempts to sophisticated malware intrusions. Website defacement attacks and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are often seen during significant events

…

And these tactics can also be replicated elsewhere. Other countries worried about the impact of cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns on their elections and democratic institutions should be paying attention.

These tactics are already being replicated elsewhere. This has been the normal Internet background noise for years. This is not news.
However, just as in 2014 when Russia was preparing for Crimea annexation, the amount of targeted (cyber and kinetic) escalated. Same again before Ukraine invasion. That’s what we should be paying attention to - not everyday “millions of cyberattacks” or hybrid misinformation war - those are already happening. and should be handled as basic boring Internet hygiene.

We should be building resilience against targeted pre-invasion cyber. We should be building ways to take down drones, we should be building robust satellite communication networks so we don’t have to rely on kindness of tech billionaires. We should find more robust ways of navigating because GPS is too easy target.

In short, we should be learning from the Ukraine conflict, which is the first (and currently only) real live theater for cyberwarfare.

Those were not unmoderated. Just radically differently moderated.

Lemmy instance with “radical” moderation. Sort of like old SA/goon forums, 4chan etc.

I was about to type this exact thing. We have some homeless of course, people always fall through the cracks - but for the most part, the local government provides for basic needs, shelter, food, money and (in due time) housing. Winter is harsh, you don’t really survive living “in the nature” in rural areas.

Summer months often see homeless in the form of “Roma traveling beggars” or the “Irish asphalt/garden workers” who live out of caravans, tents or just back of their cars, but they migrate to southern Europe when winter comes.

But yeah, we pay a fuckton of taxes to have a social security network that catches people who are down on their luck. It’s not perfect, but it’s something. People don’t have to live without food or roof over their heads.

I’ve been paying for Nebula account for a while now. It’s got high quality stuff and it’s owned by creators making the content.

There’s also peertube and other fedi variants.

Works great for me, I don’t feel like I need YouTube or I’m missing out on important stuff.

NewPipe/Piped to watch occasional video linked from an article.

I guess the recent TIME article, with US government calling AI existential threat would have to be up there. Not that it is cyber related, but I guess soon we can just have the red AI attack the blue AI while we all retire (to bomb shelters)

That’s… rather disturbing…

So other than the shock tabloid value of it happening, there’s actually no substance to any of the talking points in the interview.

Mimimize social media usage.
Start a pension fund.
Study. Get a higher education or professional qualifications.
Exercise regularly.
Take care of your dental hygiene. It’s costly to fix.
Find a companion to share your life. Human or animal. Having to make compromises because you have someone depending on you is great.

Don’t be a selfish prick. Show compassion and caring to your near and dear.

I have water leak and fire alarm sensors and a security camera. Fairy low maintenance and I kinda want to know if any of these go off when I’m not home

No.
“American Dream,” was built on belief where workplaces are meritocratic environments where workers, regardless of their background, can, on merit and abilities overcome any deprived situation they may find themselves in and rise above.

Just like communism when the Wall fell, I think it’s safe to say this ideology, when tried and tested, has been proven a total and complete failure.

Ask if they’d like a cup of tea and tell them I’m really sorry we fucked up the world. Then I’d leave them be, to enjoy the 3 hours they can spend here.

In a “pure”, transformed anarchistic society the large majority of people would subscribe to the idea of classless, stateless society where people act on their own responsibility or through voluntary associations and seek to reduce or even end violence and oppression. In such society only the minority would be willing to wield the big sticks of oppression.

Also in such society, the majority would obviously rise up against such attempts at pure fascism. Even though the basic ideology of anarchism is rooted in pacifism and non-violence, it doesn’t mean anarchistic societies would simply give up the their ideology, roll on their back and surrender when faced with violence.

Also, I personally believe, that the way to the transformation from our current society to anarchism is only possible through means of revolution - and revolutions are very seldomly non-violent.

The real answer is of course far more nuanced than this post, but I tried to keep it short and readable

My first computer was an old Sinclair ZX81. It was my friends dad’s old computer, I got to borrow it over school summer break as they headed to India during the summer. Spent most of that summer learning the basics of BASIC, but you couldn’t really do terribly much with it.

I think this was 1982.

Got my own ZX Spectrum 48 couple of years later. Glorious times gaming and programming.
