All of the missiles reached their intended targets, with none being shot down by Ukrainian air defenses.

We really are getting to the end aren’t we. My god how utterly stupid and pathetic European leaders are.

Self-host a matrix server + element instance and voila.

is Southeast Asia being colonised by Western tech nomads?

Not just tech nomads, western nomads in general, be it content creators, influencers etc.

They’ve handled it well by isolating the bulk of them on Bali (to the detriment of the local population, nature and culture), but now a non-neglectable amount are starting to creep towards Java and other places as well. There is little confidence in Indonesias puppet government to be able withstand the forces of western capital. Man I miss the PKI.

I think you could argue we’ve been in WW3 for quite some time

I was always under the impression that it’s just the narrative they go with to secure funding, the whole points is to: print $$$ --> military spending. There is literally nothing else to it.

Some of the most fast paced tech developments are those between the Ublock Origin repo and Youtube as well as that between GrapheneOS and anti-privacy actors.

I believe their current system don’t allow “dummie” profiles, i.e. one password to log into a clean, mock version of the OS. But after incidents such as these, they might re-evalutade the need for it.

There is generally no cap on how many layers you can have when it comes to this.

Currently I think you could set it up with Veracrypt and have it boot a dummy version in a way so that there is no way to see that there is anything else hidden away on your drive.

Oh and as an answer to your question, no there is no way to get through the security, if you have done everything correct and not compromised the device prior.

Wow, this seems like a real escalation. I wonder if this is a result of Irani-Omani agreement after their technical talks, or disagreement and an even more precarious situation in the region…

It is so funny isn’t it? Some goodbits from the post:

SEND MONEY NOW PLEASE YES THIIS IS RESISTANCE:

Poor airforce pilots who have been the fkin tip of the needle in delivering unlimited imperialist violence on civilians for 75 years:

And finally some AI slop - we musn’t be without:

Mhm, considering the current state of their demography - it is sadly quite likely that we will see a full state collapse soon, to the absolute detriment of Ukrainan proletariat. This state collapse will also create a power vacuum in which the surviving far right and nazi militas will either fight among themselves (unlikely) or be channeled to terrorize/fight for the wishes of western capital (very likely). We already see this with Ukrainain fighters working with EU-funded terrorists in the Sahel, being deployed to West Asia and if I recall correctly, I’ve even read reports of Ukrainan cells being even further East supporting CIA-led training of China-antagonistic terrorist along belt-and-road infrastructure. And of course continued terrorist attacks against Donbass, Crimea etc.

I dont think this is very suprising, it is essentially the same playbook that Washington (and the UK) have ran with since the 50s. Whats interesting about this conflict in particular is how entrenched in the EU elite it is - although never possible without US backing, this conflict (especially in its modern form) is in many aspects the child of British and German meddling, scheming and provocations. Since the conflicts is in direct odds to the majority EU population’s material conditions, it is a bit different from more classic African/Asian quagmires where the west’s meddling doesn’t have the same direct impact on its own citizens.

Historically they have been happy to let nazi militas, far right gangs and thugs run around on other continents doing their dirty work of torturing, killing and terrorizing the populations - it will be interesting to see how they plan to contain these forces on their on home turf. I personally don’t think they planned this out very well, whistleblowers from the MI6 for instance have talked about how it is mostly still a “gentlemans club” of people running around fantasizing about the cold war and thinking they are “cool”. I dont think there was any proper plan for what this conflict would lead to, they are already having trouble containing it, see the Nordstream for instance (which I doubt the Germans would greenlight if they knew about it).

Sadly there are interesting times ahead.

I mostly wonder which money will finance all this, state debt? Usually these dont go very well together:

Free dental care for at-risk adults with a promise to expand free dental care to cover all adults within 10 years

Half sales tax on food and no sales tax on fruit and vegetables

Better funding for schools

Making it easier to build public housing in Copenhagen, including direct rent subsidies

-------------- vs. -----------------------------

Lower corporate taxes

Lower income taxes on the rich

Spending 5 percent of GDP on three military, more than during the height of the Cold War

Here in Sweden they currently “solve” it by the state loaning a bunch and just pushing the problems with financing onto the next government (and for the current government this means not even using this to finance good things, it is mostly overpriced defense spending, to where I imagine most of the danish money also will go) Also, throughout the last decades it has mostly gone like this:

liberal government does NPM, slashes a bunch of good stuff and lowers taxes --> succdem government comes in, undoes some (but not all the damage, and usually don’t come with much new good stuff), raises taxes because former government reforms were expensive as shit --> liberal government does NPM, slashes a bunch of good stuff and lowers taxes --> and it continues on like this.

It is interesting though how we’ve come this far with the contradictions that it is “obvious” to the public that no party has a reasonable answer, and so the vote is just spread thin. We also had a “crisis” of government a couple of times now. I wonder how long the welfare states can continue on like this. Atleast we have SOME type of industry unlike those pesky norwegians (who btw are also spending less and less on the welfare state despite their fund and all).
