Funny way to say “simping for one set of oligarchs involved in a dick measuring contest against another set of oligarchs”. Ехай нахуй, дорогой.

Bruh, nk-s have internet now?

I mean, VHEMT is a great ideology and ever, but the dude seems to have missed the “voluntary” part.

As always, the answer is “depends”. It shouldn’t hurt unless you’re dual-booting windows (they used it last year as a weapon in their “mess up grub” game), but, Imo, it’s worth the trouble if:

• your data is also encrypted – otherwise one just removes the HDD/SSD and reads what they need;
• you provision your own keys – to not depend on Microsoft signing shims for you;
• you delete the already provisioned keys – Microsoft signed a few vulnerable things, like one kaspersky’s (iirc) live CD with grub not locked down, so one can boot up literally anything anyway;
• you lock down grub or whatever bootloader you’re using – otherwise you become that vulnerable live cd;
• you password lock the uefi – otherwise one can simply disable the secureboot;
• your vendor’s implementation isn’t terribly buggy – iirc, some MSI laptops would just ignore all the discrepancies.

So, a lot of ifs, and a necessity to store the uefi password somewhere safe, as those may be a pita to reset.

As for standalone stuff – idk, it might protect you from malware injecting itself into the bootloader or something, but given there’s likely no chain of trust (I.e. the bootloader doesn’t check what it bootloads), it can move in on some later step.

This, but backtrack 5 (the one just before kali). On a laptop that’d take several eternities to brutforce an md5 🤣

Reminded me one of the vids of f4mi, although that ladiy’s approach is far more beautiful. Basically, she took advantage of ai scrapers relying on subtitles and YouTube allowing for pretty advanced styling of those very subtitles to insert garbage that only bots will see.

Quite simple, actually. If you want to do a thing that violates a law, you modify the law to allow the thing.

Innovative as always, I see.

I mean, scammers aren’t exactly the smartest tools in the shed (but usually the toolest), but this one seems especially weird. Like, wouldn’t they at least notice this whole campaign became a huge meme at this point?

Neither can we, little system. Neither can we.

The music you guys breakdance to doesn’t have breakdowns?

Been on the receiving end of apologizing for no reason. Annoying AF

I’d rather not drink it, on the off chance it’s mixture of water and ethylene glycol, like in those snow globes, or some other poisonous shit.

And that, my friend, actually depends on the establishment you’re sourcing 'em from

Wasn’t there a more general definition as well, like man = human? Kinda outdated given the current trend of replacing those with persons and whatnot, yet presents enough reasonable doubt to me 🤷

I’ve asked a couple of history nerds, and I stand corrected: my impression that totalitarianism was a form of autocracy was wrong (rather both are a form of dictatorship). They’ve mentioned that under Stalin it could’ve been considered one, tho, but given he was the 2nd gensec, it’s not exactly relevant to undissolving.

Sure it wasn’t. And, say, attempts to limit citizens’ freedoms of [speeh, movement, religion (although I personally think it’s cancer)] or even music they listen to are just a coincidence. Look, I’m not saying USSR was all bad, but, frankly speaking, trying to depict it as some kind of heaven on earth is just as flawed as the red scare you’ve mentioned.
