  • It’s no problem.

    What really gets on my nerves, and infuriates me insanely is how some people act like the west is a beacon of morality, and then try to act like immigration is “importing the third world” - my brother in christ, why do you think we have to immigrate to your country? who enslaved, colonized, setup autocratic dictatorships a century ago, for your own benefit? And you think you have the right to complain??? (this isn’t directed at you, by the way. I’m glad you are more open minded than others.)

    It also kind of, and many of you may disagree with this; pisses me off that 50501 and all those types of protests never focus on foreign policy, but only things that affect them.

    This may be a sweeping generalization:

    after all my years, i’ve learned many people don’t mind, or even support fascism: it’s that the moment they are inconvenienced by it, by hitting their home turf all of a sudden they are anti fascist. Same story with WW2.

    Slavery and colonialism never ended. They’ve just decided to keep it out their own countries, for their people to not see.

    I’m very, very glad and happy that you are not like those who defend them all they can, and act like the west is this moral place. You are very open minded, we need more people like you.


  • The genocide in Sudan. iirc the US is the only one yet to have declare it as such, but looking it up it’s clear that the horrors and massacres that happen there is 100% a genocide.

    France, Israel and the UAE are funding the RSF, who are barbaric, genocidal scum. The group came out of the janjaweed,who already have committed the darfur genocide two decades ago.

    The RSF rape, ransom, murder and torture civilians and commit ethnic cleansing. They are less than scum. To put into perspective how bad they are, 100 women committed mass suicide, because the RSF was coming to their village and they knew they would be raped.








  • My original comment was under a hardware thread, but the main interest of it was the paper i linked. The paper itself is better suited to the article but my commentary is not haha.

    I’m very excited for the development of these open source processors, but the average person is probably not going to build their own hardware (for obvious reasons 😅) But i think this is still a huge step for transparency!

    The original point of the paper was for software, which is arguably more malicious (and what the article was talking about) Almost no one can build their entire environment from pure scratch (from the OS to the browser) and even then, how can you prove that the toolchain itself is not malicious or backdoored?

    My point ultimately is that most of this does not matter. There is something close to “true privacy” but never 100%. Privacy is about tradeoffs and compromises, it is still better than exposing yourself completely to the open.


  • I’ll repost an old comment of mine, since it’s relevant:

    True security/privacy is impossible.

    It is a compromise, and it all depends on your threat model; everything is probably “backdoored” some way or another.

    However the productive thing isn’t 100% blocking these risks, it’s mitigating it. It’s not feasible to build your own processor, so for example, choose the least worse between Intel ME and AMD PSP. It’s sad that we have to live in a world where surveillance is everywhere, but this is how it is for now.

    tl;dr: don’t worry too much about these, you’ll still be backdoored one way or another, what is important is making it harder for them
