  • Tucker was and is in the trade of packaging Russian propaganda as news

    And much of the US “journalists” are in the business of packaging US propaganda as news. There is just as much propaganda - if not more - in general US news. Since the US likes to portray itself as hosting a free press, one would assume (if one were pretty naive, admittedly) it would be glad to have reporting on the Russian government’s positions and communiqués.

    Hamilton68 documents examples

    lmao this is a CIA outlet:

    The organization is chaired and run primarily by former senior United States intelligence and State Department officials. Laura Thornton, formerly of International IDEA, joined ASD as its new director in May 2021. Laura Rosenberger, chair of the American Institute in Taiwan and former senior director for China on the Biden administration’s National Security Council, previously served as a director of ASD. ASD is housed at the German Marshall Fund of the United States and its work spans across both the United States and Europe

    Even the fucking Washington Post (of all newpapers !) admits they’re not exactly a source to be trusted.






  • The whole country has become obsessed with bedbugs for a week or so, like front page news. This is after a series of videos that went viral showing them indeed in the subway and in a cinema.

    It’s probably overreaction but frankly if it results in the gov doing something against these hellish things I’ll take it.

    Also you will likely be unsurprised to learn that the usual suspects have immediately blamed the issue on immigration.

    While SHA1 might be considered problematic security-wise in terms of collision (using it for certs today would be very bad, for example), it is not problematic in terms of preimage attacks (even MD5 isn’t broken that way IIRC), which is what truly matters in the context of 2FA / TOTPs

    As for “why not SHA256”, compatibility



  • literally lmao

    Like the school year started three days ago here in france-cool and there have now been several examples of “abaya” dresses being stopped despite not “being abayas”; and the reverse as well (and of course there would be; they’re fucking casual dresses, I’m fairly certain you’d get a different answer on whether one is or isn’t even from fucking textile experts or something). Often with the deciding factor being the color of the skin of the person wearing it.

    The whole thing is a racist trip; along with a sadly common recurrent theme in french politics to divert the national attention when other shit is going on






  • They started the whole conflict out of a desire to expand their arbitrary lines in the sand to include ukrainian territory.

    Why do you think Russia invaded, exactly ? they started the whole conflict after decades of making NATO encroachment along their borders a clear red line and being very clear what would happen if it was crossed

    The US still kept meddling in Ukraine (and other post-soviet states), with Russia making every effort short of war to try and stop that - like offering loans just as large as the IMF loans for example, except without asking for the batshit insane austerity measures the latter did

    Then the CIA backed a far-right coup there in 2014, and much of the following years were spent with NATO financing and training nazi soldiers there in preparation of trying to take back Crimea, while breaking the Minsk agreements in the meantime (I’ll pass on the various atrocities and huge reframing of nazi criminals as national heroes in Ukraine there at the same period, since it’s barely related, but it is worth a mention too)

    Now both Ukrainian and Russian people are dying. A peace deal would stop that.
