I genuinely believe the NSA et al is targeting those who attempt to avoid all targeting more than the average person. It’s difficult to avoid being tracked, it’s nearly impossible to additionally blend in with an unsuspicious façade. Might as well become a secret agent if you’re capable of avoiding the NSA’s gaze.

Not really, the new value is 0.0001% of the old.

Just because the number has barely fewer digits doesn’t mean it’s barely smaller

The vast majority were tilted 45° but not all, so that’s not necessarily an indication of its inauthenticity. The misspelling is a dead giveaway though.

Example of non-tilted swastika on a flag (1942)

That is truly disgusting.

Arrows not on the x and y axis but on the function???

Telegram has public groups which function nearly identical to social media. Signal does not.

If Amazon AWS began hosting nazi websites and refused to take them down, should the CEO be arrested? I’d say yes.

Piggybacking off of this comment, if you happen to enjoy Minesweeper, I recommend:

14 Minesweeper Variants

No guessing is required to solve any puzzle either, despite some variants seeming completely impossible.

Fun fact: There’s an achievement for stumbling across a level with a conpletely empty starting board, without any spaces being revealed to be mines or non-mines. Yes, that can be solved without guessing.

Fun fact 2: I’d argue there are more than 14 variants.

Mailboxes are locked over here, that’s pretty much it. Nobody but you can take anything out of your mailbox:

He changed his behavior around that time with professional help, I don’t think children were the key reason - though maybe what set the stone rolling.

Well, why wouldn’t the dog ask for love? It would have to spend its entire life with that guy, ensuring you’d be loved is an essential requirement for such a commitment.

How about:

If they manage to become too fast again, we can maybe hold the event in a pool filled with 1m of water.

Why would you use a linear approximation, this clearly looks like exponential growth (for the last 9 years).

Linux will obviously achieve 100% market share within the next few years.

When you rely on someone outside to complete you, you end up being that person that’s drowning, and your struggle ends up taking your would-be rescuer down with you instead. Other people don’t deserve suffering to try to fix you.

But isn’t the most effective way to prevent others from being harmed due to your own issues to simply isolate yourself from people who would potentially care? You cannot harm anyone but yourself if there is no one to see you struggling and trying to help.

None of your friends could possibly be hurt if you had zero friends.

Friendly reminder that the soy thing is a right-wing nutjob obsession because soy contains phytoestrogens - plant estrogen - and they believe this increases your human estrogen levels.

Unfortunately for trans women, that is simply not true. Phytoestrogens are just too different in structure from human estrogen to (significantly) activate estrogen hormone receptors and may even inactivate them in some cases. Most studies suggest very little but conflicting effects or no effects at all.

The soy obsession is because soy is a common alternative to dairy products and from an East Asian plant, triggering right-wingers fragile masculinity and inherit racism. They’re desperate to paint it as feminine so the only thing they could possibly latch onto is that it contains something named after estrogen - the FEMALES’ HORMONE!!!

If you want to temporarily have more estrogen receptor activations, just drink a latte with cow milk, since dairy contains plenty of cow estrogen which is quite similar in structure to human estrogen.

Depending on who compromised you, paying the ransom is the smart move.

As long as the hacker group has a somewhat established name and reputation, they have more to lose from keeping a copy afterwards than to gain. Trust is like half of the business model for these groups - throwing it all away for a one-time gain isn’t the smartest move.

And while you should obviously keep a backup, in the end it might be cheaper to just pay up, especially because of potential future lawsuits should customer data be leaked.

Also, you should absolutely make sure the hackers actually have stolen data instead of merely encrypting it all with a secret key. There’s no point in paying in that case.

Gott segne dich? Nein…

100% accurate emulation is basically impossible for every single console. You can get extremeley close via cycle accuracy, emulating the CPU’s instruction set but even that isn’t perfect.

So they’re openly saying what every nuclear power would do, got it.

Don’t you think every nuclear power will launch nukes at military targets the second they become aware someone intends to do the same?
