00:02 DaemonFC; Graham continued to say that the Russian people are the only way Putins rule ends as thousands of Russians have been arrested for protesting the invasion of Ukraine.
00:02 DaemonFC; The only people who can fix this are the Russian people. Easy to say, hard to do, Graham said in a follow-up tweet.
00:02 DaemonFC; Unless you want to live in darkness for the rest of your life, be isolated from the rest of the world in abject poverty, and live in darkness you need to step up to the plate, he added.

00:43 DaemonFC; Russia Today Is Yesterday's News
00:43 DaemonFC; Taking a job with a foreign nation's propaganda arm might not be the best call, career-wise. That is especially true if the foreign nation in question is led by a somewhat unpredictable man with near-dictatorial power and a propensity for invading his neighbors. The U.S. staff of Russia Today, the pro-Russia "news" channel that has been peddling the Putin party line in America since 2005, just learned that lesson the hard way. Yesterday, they
00:43 DaemonFC; were laid off en masse, and told that their jobs are gone for good, as RT will immediately cease operations. The same happened in the U.K., and in several other nations that had RT outlets.
00:43 DaemonFC; Needless to say, nobody wants to be in business with Vladimir Putin right now, unless they happen to be a Russian oligarch (and even some of them are undoubtedly having second thoughts). And so, RT is currently more radioactive than Chernobyl. As a result, most cable and satellite providers have dropped the channel from their lineups (the same fate that has befallen another propaganda outlet, namely OAN). This meant that the channel's business
00:43 DaemonFC; model no longer makes much sense. After all, if you propagandize in the forest, and nobody is there to hear it, did you ever really propagandize in the first place? There's also a thought out there that Putin could keep the channel going if he really wanted, making use of live streaming and other options, but that the more efficacious option for him these days is to make use of his mouthpieces at Fox. Is that really what is going on? We report,
00:43 DaemonFC; you decide. (Z)

00:51 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, I commented for their site the following about Russia's social media bans.
00:52 DaemonFC; "I noticed that Russia banned access to Facebook after Facebook banned all Russian ads. Then they banned Twitter.
00:52 DaemonFC; No doubt that Putin was angry about not being able to easily access Facebook and run ads designed to prop up the Republican Party with his troll farms, but also Putin doesn't want the Russian public to know how badly the invasion of Ukraine is going, and that's difficult to maintain when Ukraine is showing dead Russian soldiers and POWs on Telegram, Facebook, and Twitter.
00:52 DaemonFC; Facebook and Twitter are very evil, and they're designed to sell ads, be a boundless informant to law enforcement on anyone who has an account and uses them, and they can suddenly pop up in job interviews (stuff you posted and liked....they sell that to "background check" companies). Roughly, they hurt their useds in that order.
00:52 DaemonFC; But the ban isn't likely to work. For starters, there's Tor, and Facebook even has a Tor Hidden Service that you can use. This is not their first rodeo with a corrupt dictator who didn't like them very much, and they set that up so that these bans will not work short of cutting all of Russia off from the global Internet."

19:21 TR Bot; Security Vulnerabilities fixed in Firefox 97.0.2, Firefox ESR 91.6.1, Firefox for Android 97.3.0, and Focus 97.3.0 Mozilla
19:21 DaemonFC; Two 0days fixed in Firefox this morning.
19:21 DaemonFC; when it's maybe 30%
19:21 DaemonFC; Like 66% of the desktop OS market in the US.
19:23 DaemonFC; It's been chipped away at by Mac OS mainly over the last decade, but "Linux" and Chrome OS have seen 6-8 times their former usage share since then.
19:23 psydroid8; do you notice Microsoft panicking over this in the US?
19:23 DaemonFC; Windows isn't what it once was, so Microsoft has their game studios trying to cover them by deliberately locking out people trying to run their games on Wine.
19:24 DaemonFC; do you notice Microsoft panicking over this in the US?
19:24 DaemonFC; Not publicly. They don't want to draw attention to it.
19:24 DaemonFC; They threaten total account bans for Destiny 2 if you run it in Wine.
19:25 DaemonFC; So don't buy Destiny 2, at all.
19:25 MinceR; don't buy bungie products
19:25 DaemonFC; It's easy enough to "fix" most of their older games and get them running in Wine.
19:26 DaemonFC; But if you buy them, then they have a universal backdoor through Steam.
19:26 DaemonFC; So they can shove in a new build of Fallout 4 or something and it doesn't work anymore.
19:26 DaemonFC; They've already been trying to make it fail to run.
19:27 DaemonFC; Wine eventually adopted all of the APIs from Windows that Fallout 4 and Skyrim SE need to run, but I have no idea if Skyrim Anniversary Edition runs. That's another recompile, and it breaks Nexus mods again.
19:28 DaemonFC; Microsoft bump them every few years and nothing gets better. They break all the Nexus mods, and Wine, again.
19:28 psydroid8; so Microsoft's mission has become evergreening old games to only work on Windows 10/11
19:29 DaemonFC; Yeah, which is what they did with Halo 2 "for Vista" so it's not even new behavior.
19:29 DaemonFC; You could crack the game binaries and run it on Windows XP, 2000, Me, and 98.
19:29 DaemonFC; You'd need the latest OS updates too, but it worked after the patches.
19:31 DaemonFC; They re-release Halo games too and make them need the latest Windows APIs every once in a while.
19:31 DaemonFC; Then of course they stop selling the old one, so the only way to get it is with "piracy".

19:45 DaemonFC; They could wait out the sanctions, for many years, and get a decent return on their gold investments when they finally do sell it.

19:46 DaemonFC; I opened the door and he asked, "We good?" and grinned.
19:46 DaemonFC; I was like, "Yeah, we're good.".

19:47 schestowitz-TR2; shit is good
19:47 MinceR; dogs eat a lot of shit
19:47 schestowitz-TR2; compared to Microsoft things
19:47 MinceR; so it's a good fit for MICROS~1

19:50 DaemonFC; The guy should have held out for a Land Rover like those 14 year olds in Chicago do (who have guns and I'm assuming a FOID card :P).
19:50 DaemonFC; The punishment for carjacking is uniform. It's just "carjacking".

21:12 TR Bot; Russian Tea Room in New York City suffers as Ukraine invasion escalates - CNN
21:12 DaemonFC; The guy in this video pouring out vodka is pouring out Stolichnaya.
21:12 DaemonFC; People are retarded.
21:13 DaemonFC; "Despite its name, the Russian Tea room isn't Russian at all. It's actually owned by a financial group incorporated in New York state. It was opened in 1927 by, perhaps apocryphally, "White Russian expatriates who had fled the Bolsheviks," according to the restaurant's website. It has had a succession of US owners ever since.
21:13 DaemonFC; But that hasn't stopped protesters looking to boycott all things Russian, even if it's only a name and a cuisine."
21:14 DaemonFC; Anything that says "Russia" or sounds vaguely Russian is being poured out, burned, or canceled right now, even if it's not Russian at all and never has been.
21:14 bnchs; anything russian is BAD now
21:14 bnchs; russians are bad
21:14 DaemonFC; True.
21:15 bnchs; they are to be exterminated immediately
21:15 bnchs; because putin invaded ukraine
21:15 DaemonFC; But at least do some research. You may be hurting people who have no affiliation with Russia.
21:16 DaemonFC; There was a Janes combat simulator I got at the software store in the 90s that let you command an attack submarine.
21:16 DaemonFC; It was kind of a sandbox.
21:16 MinceR; humans are bad, but they're self-exterminating
21:16 DaemonFC; But I did fire SLBMs at all of the major Russian cities.
21:16 DaemonFC; On my first play through.
21:16 bnchs; russians are bad because putin did something bad
21:16 bnchs; so they need to be isolated from the world
21:18 DaemonFC; Occidental Petroleum stock has nearly doubled.

21:24 TR Bot; Malware now using NVIDIA's stolen code signing certificates
21:24 DaemonFC; Well, in 1997 China took it back and about 20 years into the 50 year promise not to mess with things too much, they began "reforms" to turn it into another Communist shithole.
21:25 DaemonFC; In 1997, they weren't in much of a position to meddle too much because the world could still hold them accountable.
21:25 DaemonFC; Now pretty much every other nation state is a satellite state of China, or a satellite of a state that's a Chinese satellite.
21:25 bnchs; AdmFubar, bruh theres that windows security we really know
21:26 bnchs; this is what happens when the security of installing kernel drivers is dependent on a hardcoded list of signing keys
21:28 bnchs; the end-user should decide what drivers to install
21:28 bnchs; not the OS
21:31 DaemonFC; The user should always decide what to install, even if it blows up in their face.
21:31 DaemonFC; In most cases, malware is pretty obvious.
21:32 DaemonFC; It almost always hides in proprietary software.
21:32 bnchs; windows' code sigining system is flawed anyway
21:32 DaemonFC; Most Android apps have 20 or 30 pieces of malware in them.
21:32 bnchs; when a software (with "admin" privs) tries to install a malware (with leaked signed key), windows will automatically install it
21:32 DaemonFC; You can't see what they are and cut them off from the Internet without something like Tracker Control.
21:32 bnchs; with NO question
21:33 DaemonFC; And this is stuff in the Play Store.
21:33 bnchs; malware is a kernel driver
21:33 DaemonFC; Google doesn't care. It provides many pieces of pre-built malware for Android app developers.
21:33 DaemonFC; So does Apple.
21:33 bnchs; windows will install any kernel drivers if it's signed with a key that microsoft approves
21:33 bnchs; this can be abused
21:34 DaemonFC; Of course it can be. Microsoft incompetently manages revocation of certificates, so malware that gets signed with them for Windows usually runs for years.
21:34 DaemonFC; It's usually possible to install it for a minimum of a year.
21:36 DaemonFC; Russia seems to have blocked NordVPN finally.

21:45 SomeH4x0r; disabled != deleted in Android though, unless you meant to say deleted
21:46 DaemonFC; Disabled just hides it and stops it from opening when I get a Youtube link.
21:46 DaemonFC; It opens in Firefox instead.
21:46 SomeH4x0r; Firefox is not good either though
21:46 SomeH4x0r; get root and delete

21:46 SomeH4x0r; or, better, find another device
21:46 bnchs; i had that

21:48 DaemonFC; So it's Windows malware.

21:52 bnchs; devices have different hardware
21:52 bnchs; different bootloaders
21:52 bnchs; different paritions and paging and shit
21:52 bnchs; it fragmented ARM, and now you gotta have ROMs per device
21:52 SomeH4x0r; but somehow it works on x86 with no issues
21:53 bnchs; that because x86 has standardized
21:53 bnchs; BIOS and shit
21:53 bnchs; they agree on one thing
21:54 bnchs; instead of every vendor inventing their own shit every device
21:54 SomeH4x0r; so shouldn't buy stuff until it is standardized, unless it is something one can support without spending too much time
21:54 SomeH4x0r; like an average normie who has a family and job and whatever
21:56 bnchs; i've actually looked into porting lineageOS guide

22:57 schestowitz-TR2; MinceR: and all those 'anti-spam' BS
22:57 DaemonFC; Dynamic DNS services, for instance.
22:58 schestowitz-TR2; not one of them
22:58 schestowitz-TR2; many
22:58 schestowitz-TR2; and the mail oligarchy can still blacklist you just for spite
22:58 schestowitz-TR2; even if you fulfill all the reqs
22:58 DaemonFC; They block all kinds of ports.
22:58 schestowitz-TR2; DaemonFC: yes, can use noip, ddns etc.
22:58 DaemonFC; I had AT&T threatening to shut off my internet account about a decade ago for using IRC.
22:59 schestowitz-TR2; but those have limitations too
22:59 DaemonFC; They said IRC was evidence that I had a virus on my computer.
22:59 schestowitz-TR2; and then you depend on another level of indirection, like clownflare...
22:59 schestowitz-TR2; DaemonFC: mindvirus
22:59 schestowitz-TR2; DaemonFC: did you hear about world's lab
22:59 DaemonFC; Specifically, they took issue with the fact that I was using it on 6697 and 7000, (ircs).
22:59 schestowitz-TR2; new study
22:59 schestowitz-TR2; covid vaccines fuck up your immune system
22:59 DaemonFC; They said encrypted IRC traffic means you have a worm.
22:59 MinceR; lol
22:59 schestowitz-TR2; 300,000 subjected studied
23:00 DaemonFC; So you had to reply "I am taking steps to address this infection.".
23:00 schestowitz-TR2; anjoy your month-long mystery flu
23:00 DaemonFC; So I set up an autoreply for that AT&T email address.
23:00 schestowitz-TR2; lol
23:00 DaemonFC; It responded "I am taking steps to address this infection." every few days as it checked my email.

23:02 TR Bot; warning notice from ATT internet security center
23:03 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, MinceR This ^
23:03 bnchs; lol thats the state of your internet
23:03 bnchs; encrypted = malware
23:03 bnchs; just like tor = malware
23:04 bnchs; your ISP will nag you about this everyday, because they think it's a malware
23:04 DaemonFC; 5. In all cases, please respond by forwarding this email to: ab...@att.net
23:04 DaemonFC; with an acknowledgment of: "I am taking steps to address this infection."
23:04 DaemonFC; When we receive such an acknowledgment, we can maintain the high quality of
23:04 DaemonFC; service you expect from us. We welcome feedback on what removal tools or
23:04 DaemonFC; method were used.
23:04 DaemonFC; ---
23:04 bnchs; anything "encrypted" is bad to their surveillence
23:04 bnchs; so they'll nag you about it like an "antivirus"
23:05 DaemonFC; Yes, I included a blurb that I was using IRC for chat purposes and was using GNU/Linux, not Windows, so I didn't have viruses, nor was I interested in their crappy security software.
23:05 DaemonFC; Obviously nobody ever reads those because you just get more alerts later.
23:05 bnchs; i'm sorry to know that your ISP is mainly operated by braindeads
23:05 bnchs; or people with ROM in their brain
23:05 DaemonFC; I don't have AT&T anymore.
23:05 DaemonFC; I had Comcast for a while, and then T-Mobile.
23:06 DaemonFC; At least I don't have to call T-Mobile every 6-12 months and say "My bill has gone way up and I think I'm really going to cancel this time unless we can find another promotion.".
23:06 DaemonFC; Comcast does that.
23:07 DaemonFC; Your bill doubles every year unless you complain, and then they put you on the "promo rate" for another year.
23:07 DaemonFC; So you have to call and argue and complain every year that your internet should not cost $80 a month for the basic package.
23:08 bnchs; i have letters from my ISP about me using tor and bittorrent
23:08 bnchs; and i simply throw them away
23:09 bnchs; if it's enough for them to nag you about it everyday, then that means you're breaking out of their surveillence
23:09 DaemonFC; Yes, AT&T didn't complain about plain text IRC.
23:10 MinceR; they're really interested in your chats
23:10 DaemonFC; So that tells you that they were just really pissed off that they had no way to log it if you went secure.
23:11 bnchs; that is very odd
23:11 bnchs; they label these kinds of tools as a "virus"
23:11 bnchs; because it's bad for them
23:12 bnchs; if they cant see what you're doing, they can't sell it to advertisers
23:14 DaemonFC; The whole goal has been to turn the Web into a corporate shithole.
23:14 DaemonFC; Anything they can't monetize should be wiped off the face of the Earth.
23:15 DaemonFC; You're supposed to use the Facebooks and Disneys and Googles.
23:15 bnchs; and i wonder why an ISP should give a shit about you having viruses
23:15 bnchs; aka """viruses"""
