The fact that tor was developed by feds (CIA agents actually use it in the field, too, IIRC) does not mean it’s compromised. Its source code might be among the most audited ones around, including by well-known cryptographers. When the NSA put a backdoor in Dual_EC_DRBG, it was identified quickly and outside of shitty security appliances from RSA in corporate environments, very few projects actually ended up using it. I suspect such a thing would happen with tor.

SELinux is similar: developed by the NSA, but also audited to shit by countless security researcher eager to put their names on the map.

Also, the fact that all tor services that were taken down by LE thus far we know of were taken down through human error on the operator’s side or active exploitation of software flaws in the service itself, combined with the Snowden leaks describing tor as a constant pain in their backside, also point towards the same conclusion.

protect the planet from climate change

overthrow the whole capitalist system

It’s fake, though given the insane shit he’s posted in the past I too was genuinely surprised it wasn’t real.

Assuming you mean the Myrotvorets website, that appears to be a fake that made the rounds a few hours ago (apparently already occurred several months ago, too).

I’ve never been convinced of the usefulness of that tungsten rod idea; between the cost of putting them into orbit in the first place, the limited yield, and the accuracy difficulty (this is an inert payload, that you’re dropping at an initial speed of ~28000km/hr / 17000 mph, with no control surface), I suspect it’s a bad idea all around.

Much more likely it’s what abcnews suggested a few weeks back: nukes in orbit for high-altitude nuclear detonation in order to produce very very large EMPs by exploiting the high-atmosphere ionization effect (basically an EMP multiplier). This is an idea that goes back to Starfish Prime and has always been in the background - to the point, in fact, where IIRC each and every nuclear power (including China and the US) puts into their initial assumptions in case of large scale war that the enemy is likely to start hostilities by doing just that.

Indeed. Though IMO eating an Ortolan is still slightly less morally bankrupt that eating a steak - the former was caught in the wild, the latter is the product of systematic large-scale exploitation, torture and slaughter.

The main difference beyond that is the aesthetic and how normalized the latter is.

For fellow non-US readers, that’s an initial temp of -20C lowering to -32C in non-stupid units. Jesus.

can’t bear to eat anything that doesn’t come from a dead animal

Hear hear. Reason #4587 I hate this fucking country. When it doesn’t come from a dead creature it comes from a live one that is being actively tortured.

Their “cuisine” they’re so proud of is built on mass slaughter and abuse, it’s disgusting

Thank you !

Nitter link for those without twitter accounts (amazingly that nitter instance still works).

I was hoping someone had translated what they were saying; no, though. Not a total loss, as some of the answers are pretty funny. For example, one says Decolonial ASMR.

Hey, I’ll have you know there’s at least two of us (actually I’m pretty sure like three or four).

Quick outline:

• Nobody knows where the prime minister (Ariel Henry, as an aside possibly involved in the assassination of the Haitian president in 2021) is.
• Rumors were he was in Kenya, or the US, or some coffee-themed festival in France, but he appears to be in none of those places.
• Major airports are being closely watched by the population for his presence, as well as several regional airports.
• The protests that started about a month back haven’t piped down at all, quite the reverse, and he’s the main target of the anger. As usual with large scale movements in Haiti, Port-au-Prince is the epicenter.
• This is despite large scale repression of such protests, including on occasion with live ammunition.
• They go on to describe specific instances of repression around February 7th (note: historically the date on which the Duvalier regime fell), where large scale use of teargas and dispersion grenades maimed several people; the previous prime minister, Claude Joseph, had to take refuge into a nearby slum.
• They then describe how Guy Philippe, widely considered the spearhead of the ongoing movement against the current interim government - and a revolutionary, imprisoned at one point by the US years ago - managed to reach the capital discreetly - specifically by booking a flight ostensibly then spending the night crossing in a small boat instead.
• They go on to describe this event, where five members of the BSAP (basically initially members of an Environmental ministry which are now armed and a major part of the ongoing protests) were gunned down in a car following a protest, apparently without provocation. Their bodies were then put into a mass grave.
• The article concludes by saying a major local org connected to the military (AMH, Association for the Haitian Military) warned the current interim government when that event occurred, though their wording is lukewarm.

As for your question:

Revolutiion happening in Haiti??

It’s impossible to answer but it sure looks like things are moving fast over there.

The article you linked is also part 2 of a two-part (thus far) series; here is part 1.

Much of the articles about this event seem to blur the faces of those bastards; here is the uncensored pic.

Can I have a Turing test ?

We have Turing tests at home !

Turing tests at home:

There was that PDF “hate online” report from a private company that mentioned hexbear a few years back - specifically referencing the fact that the hexbear admins had disabled part of the comments history (this was during the fork), and as such that they’d had limited data to go through as a result.

Moravec knew

No idea; it’s a wild guess anyhow; everyone with both nuclear weapons and space launch systems has been capable of this for decades (yet never has, apparently).

Why wouldn’t they just use a conventional missile? Lmao

Very high altitude nuclear weapons are incredibly damaging to both satellites and electronic systems on the ground in a potentially very large area. See the Starfish Prime test, and its impact on what were at the time rare satellites in orbit (it disabled six of them entirely - a significant portion of what was in orbit at the time); I quote the article:

Starfish Prime caused an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that was far larger than expected, so much larger that it drove much of the instrumentation off scale, causing great difficulty in getting accurate measurements. The Starfish Prime electromagnetic pulse also made those effects known to the public by causing electrical damage in Hawaii, about 900 miles (1,450 km) away from the detonation point, knocking out about 300 streetlights

If it’s confirmed, it might be less about directly targeting satellites and rather about exploiting such an effect like that.

Seems very unconfirmed but ABCNews says it’s nukes in space; specifically to disable satellites or cause large-areas EMPs, not hit the ground.
