One of their pieces of evidence is literally just “Ukraine posted a video with visible landmarks” and I think they just forgot to write the second paragraph where it explains how that’s proof it’s fake. What a bizarre article.

Comon over to Tsql 2022! Nothing has changed, except the AI is writing the dynamic SQL now so you don’t have to! It’s going great!

(Public sector, if this stuff goes down people don’t get their heart meds so I don’t overly mind the stale followup calls. Tho I’ll be shocked if any of that code is still in use, most of it was being obsoleted even back when I still worked there)

I used to leave my name, personal cell # and an apology at the top of any of my dynamic SQL queries. I know what its going to be like, man, I wrote that shit. I’m so sorry.

Honestly I think we just… lost interest? The Epstein revelations & Palestine have really been the main topic of national discourse (and nobody here cared about whatever Iran was doing? There was so little political will behind the Iran shit it was pretty impressive.)

Pretty sure most americans absolutely are aware of US intelligence agencies and the kind of work they do - they’re pretty infamous. At worst, most americans think that its justified for the intelligence agencies to be doing shit like this, which is a fair debate point. But nah, come on, “most ameficans aren’t aware spies are doing spy shit” hell there’s so many terrible movies glorifying this exact behavior.

Superpowers play bullshit games with their intelligence agencies - this doesn’t seem like particularly novel behavior for either side…

Did anyone else just completely forget this was even a thing? Took me a good couple seconds to remember that it really was last month this all happened. Fucking hell…

How long before the EU stops complaining about the Chinese EV boom just to spite trump? I mean christ that one is at least extremely transparent… god this guy is an idiot.

Yo we don’t care when americans shoot american children, why should we care if someone else wants to get in on it? No way to prevent this. ('sides, with a name like Omar Mohammad Rabea the kid had to have been brown)

… seven toes??

Fun background info: Trusted Representatives don’t actually carry their shard of the key (to prevent exactly this scenario), they have (iirc) a keycard which allows them to access the secure storage medium where their different pieces are stored.

"Well the USA did it, too! has got to be the worst justification, for anything, that I have ever heard.

“… they need to fix the problem quickly, and after some political dicking around this is the only option they’re left with?”

Allright well we seem to have the Americans warming up to perform their hit number “WE TOLD YOU SO” lets see if it changes from the last fifty times we’ve heard it…

Nnng. I will never understand why a woman would willingly live in that country.

Oof.

… Debian was on twitter??

They have been performing horribly quarter to quarter lately, and so pretty much all of their product lines have had shit like this happen. Nerf has no springs and shoddy plastic, Wizards of the Coast are dropping a ton of middling-popular products from production, even their Marvel line has really taken a hit to quality with bad fabrics, cheap printing, etc. Everything is being cut to the barest minimum to try and claw back their profitability.

… It’s stunning they can’t seem to connect the dots, really.
