@NatalkaKyiv AFAIK he parted ways with Nazi ideology about 10 years ago and later denounced the war.

😂 Here goes the myth about Russian traditional values and supposed spirituality. 🔽 “We used to have the flag of self-interest and a good life, and now we’ve suddenly been told it’s all about patriotism and spirituality.” — Dmitry Demushkin, leader of Russian nationalists (read: neo-Nazis) FYI: When Demushkin refers to “Russian patriots banning everything except owning property in the West,” he is talking about the State Duma deputies who recently failed to pass a ban on relatives of government officials owning foreign real estate. Also, the village of Barvikha that he mentions is one of the most elite settlements in Russia, located near Moscow.

@Dan_Jeffries1 I wonder if there is a single Western jurisdiction that has the guts to say "no" to all of that shit—KYC, AML (except police investigations based on probable cause), CBDC, Digital ID, cash/crypto restriction, replacement migration. And get all the business from around the world.

I don't know where this sudden push for ID checks online came from but it is clearly coordinated and influenced. There are two many people in too many places that suddenly got this awful idea at the same time. In America it is completely against the 4th amendment and your ability to access information which can only be limited in very narrow cases like access to adult content. Every time they want to steal more of your rights it's "save the children" or "stop the terrorists." This must be stopped or you'll be KYCed for browsing the web.

@EndWokeness I appreciate the chutzpah.

It gets worse: Alderman Hall admitted at this event that his community did steal from the Walgreens

@Pirat_Nation I'm not going to update my backup software because I'm on the last free Macrium version, and AOMEI has enshittified. I will uninstall this Windows "security" patch.

Microsoft has confirmed that the April 2026 Patch Tuesday update is causing problems for many third-party backup tools on Windows 11. The update intentionally adds a specific kernel driver to the vulnerable driver blocklist for better security. Unfortunately, this change breaks Volume Shadow Copy Service functionality in several backup applications, leading to snapshot timeouts and failed backup or restore operations. Affected programs include: -Acronis Cyber Protect -Macrium Reflect -NinjaOne Backup -UrBackup, and others that rely on this driver. Microsoft recommends keeping the security update installed and contacting your backup software vendor for a compatible version that uses updated drivers. Uninstalling the patch is not advised as it leaves your system vulnerable. If your backups suddenly stopped working after the April updates, this is likely why.

@lzsthw Not a programmer or PL student here, just a lurker. To compare, is there an existing resource *you* would point to as a good beginner-level "Bjarne-brained" C++ course?

Here's my latest email post I sent where I talk about how I got unstuck when working on Learn C++ the Hard Way: learncodethehardway.com/emails/31-lear… Covers some of my thought process in teaching "Grug Brained C++" instead of "Bjarne Brained C++".

@HatterMilliner @maria_drutska Oh yes, there will be exceptions for the replacement population, you can count on that.

@maria_drutska Should they ban halal slaughter? Or would that be culturally incentive?

Amsterdam has become the world’s first capital to ban public ads for meat and fossil fuels. As a vegetarian – standing ovation. Well done, guys 👏

@maria_drutska Thank God not all vegetarians are this stupid. Too bad there are apparently enough stupid vegetarians* in Amsterdam to get this passed. * They may not even be actual vegetarians after all. Bugs for the populace, meat for the "chosen" ones.

@jskoiz @IntCyberDigest United Breaks Laptops now, in addition to guitars?

@IntCyberDigest I guess the M5s are soft Because my M3 is a tank and still operating without issue after getting violently attacked by United Airlines.

🚨 A Redditor's brand-new MacBook M5 arced, zapped, and went totally dead within 48 hours of unboxing, just from moving the hinge.

@wartranslated Consider it a distributed parade of sorts.

It appears preparations for May 9 have begun, as Russians have started mass redeployment of air defense systems to Moscow to protect the so-called parade on Red Square.

@visegrad24 Anyone doing that should get MG treatment, IYKWIM.

@jordanpwalsh @0xIlyy Wow, did you measure that specifically?

@0xIlyy same dialog they just removed took like 4ms on Win NT 4.0 in 1996

what the fuck do you mean "94ms median time-to-show"?? is it making an API request everything i want to open a program?

@LundukeJournal @gf_256 He/she may be all that and still be good at security or specifically at running a security firm.

Remember the security firm that Ubuntu hired to audit the (ill-advised, highly buggy) Rust-rewrites of all of the GNU Coreutils? Turns out that security firm is run by @gf_256, who: - Appears to be a man who thinks he's a woman ("trans"). - Uses an anime cartoon of a girl as his avatar. - Appears to have an OnlyFans page. I repeat: Ubuntu hired a "Trans" man, with an anime girl avatar and an OnlyFans page... to audit Rust code. It's hard to get more on-the-nose than that.

@chrisf_cpuarch @FFmpeg Googling "Chief Software Architect" gets me a considerable amount of hits. Apparently, even Microsoft had one (dunno about now).

@FFmpeg CPU teams often have a Chief Architect. I haven’t seen it used in software though.

Someone on "Linkedin" claims FFmpeg has a "Chief Architect". We can confirm FFmpeg does not have a Chief Architect, not do we have any idea what the purpose of a Chief Architect is (outside of building design).

@WorldDomStudios @LundukeJournal There are independent Firefox builds for Windows 7. I forget the repo name of the Chinese guy. He does Chrome, too.

@LundukeJournal Windows XP is stuck on Firefox 52 ESR. Windows 7 is stuck on Firefox 115 or so. Fuck all of these browser devs.

Up until a few years ago, we were able to browse the modern web, on a PowerPC “Classic” MacOS (MacOS 8/9) system, using a port of Firefox. This is no longer possible. Not because a G3, G4, or G5 systems running MacOS 9 are not beefy enough to handle the task (far from it)… but because of forced (deliberate) obsolescence by software developers. In this case, Mozilla injected a new (*still* unfinished) programming language (Rust) into Firefox. And Rust doesn’t support PowerPC Macs. Thus making a port of any version *after* the inclusion of Rust increasingly (and pointlessly) difficult. Add on top of that the ever changing standards around HTTPS, which render browsers only a few years old… effectively unable to use the modern web. Anyone who has tried to use Netscape recently knows what I mean. Again. Those changes are not because of CPU, RAM, or Operating System limitations. Purely artificial, forced constraints. This isn’t a problem unique to PPC Macs. Similar problems exist with recent UNIX workstations, Windows 2000, and even Linux from only a FEW years back. In some cases these forced constraints and limitations are simply a failure of developers. In other cases it is a deliberate choice… forced obsolescence. Either way… it makes me grumpy.

@CaolanReports In the US, a full-out prohibition to host a specific person, which is the case with e.g. Arestovich, is unthinkable.

Ukraine now ranks higher in press freedom than the United States.

@Kama_Kamilia The 3rd world invaders.

So when a child is born, who has to leave? The child or one of its parents?

@RMXnews Even very low-IQ folks understand death penalty. You can even enact a law to make the executions public, as a special educational device for retards.

🇳🇴 A Syrian migrant found guilty of raping a 13-year-old Norwegian girl in a bike shed in Tromsø will serve just six months in prison after the sentencing court ruled that the attacker had a "low IQ" and "a reduced understanding of reality." Abdelmonem Abdelrazak Al-Yousef was found to have raped the girl in September 2024, less than a year after arriving in Norway from Syria. He met her in Tromsø city center before assaulting her on a park bench and leading her to a secluded bike shed near the Harbour Terminal where he raped her. He initially denied meeting the girl, but after semen was found at the scene and traced to him, he admitted to meeting the victim but not engaging in sexual activity. Psychiatric assessments showed he had a very low IQ, and the court ruled that "the defendant is most likely no further along in development than the victim." A change to Norwegian law last year removed the minimum prison sentence of three years for rape, allowing the court to impose a partial suspended sentence conditional on probation, meaning he will only serve six months inside.

@Not_Prasar @HakureiRyan @msnofficial_on Well, I have the actual physical media. Two boxes even.

@NestenL @HakureiRyan @msnofficial_on Yeah u need to find the iso where it will actually install, the ISO’s from massgrave from my experience didn’t do well..

1. Microsoft Office LibreOffice and OnlyOffice are not as good Web versions like Office Online and google docs/sheets aren't as good either

@visegrad24 This was a Dagestani village, but we're not very far from having smth. like that in European cities.

🇷🇺 In Russia, Islamists attempted to create their own autonomous state. They were detained by special forces In the Dagestani village of Gubden, 11 locals were arrested on suspicion of establishing a radical religious enclave. They had set up a checkpoint at the entrance to the village, deciding who could enter and who was barred. At night, they completely blocked the road and installed a surveillance system around the perimeter. During the day, patrols enforced a strict “correct way of life.” Those who violated the rules were beaten. Eventually, special forces units arrived and carried out a raid. Nine suspects have been sent to pre-trial detention, while the court will decide the fate of the remaining two.

@HakureiRyan @msnofficial_on Recently, I was unable to make the retail version of 2016 install and run correctly under Crossover.

@msnofficial_on You can run Office via Crossover. The only tripping point is that if you use MFA it's more difficult to sign in.
