Yeah they literally spent zero buffer time ensuring the rebels wouldn’t be able to appropriate former military assets because a government that actually cares about the people and its sovereignty is obviously too dangerous for Israel.

The moment Assad left, they bombed every known aircraft and airfield because god forbid they even have an airforce made up of rusty 70s soviet jets.

On top of that, I’m pretty sure their land posture is like 27km from Damascus. They might as well own Syria with that leverage.

Usually TF2 is up here too depending on the seasonal update rotation.

RIP Mitsubishi motors. Went bankrupt and then got nissan’d into the void.

There were so many actual worn down and permanently damaged prisoners they could have easily interviewed and they reported the one dude part of the regime trying to slip away.

Really it’s more because CNN showed up days later after all the prisoners had escaped Assad’s hellhole, so it’s possible they really did find this guy by chance trying to hide.

But he looks so fresh and unharmed in front of the camera, I wouldn’t be surprised if they asked for a setup and got baited.

As long as they can keep it rolling stable, which is possible even with arch, I can see this pickup up a bit, especially for new users.

Plenty of users are sick of windows 11.

Not only is DisplayPort better, they have eDP which has been used as a beefed up MIPI for laptops and tablets for years.

Plus it supports HDMI and DVI for backward compatibility, so really it’s just the last standing corporate media standard that hasn’t fallen to its superior open counterpart.

All these leaks and those shitwad russian shill gayjin devs still can’t get their head out of their ass to make the game better in literally any way.

• PS2 era graphics

• Equivalent performance of Windows Vista

• More money hog than EA and Ubisoft combined

• Shittier net code than Nintendo

• Game Engine made by pissing on the keyboard

• Actually convinced Valve to remove their negative reviews on steam somehow

It pretty much became a coping simulator after the Ukraine war started.

So basically Israel airstriking all of Assad’s military assets because they don’t want the rebels to form them into their forces because they want to ensure a full military advantage.

Dunno how much the rebels will care since they only succeeded due to Assad losing his Russian and Iranian supply chain anyway, but it’s very clearly an attempt to limit their ability to expand.

They’re afraid Syria could pose a geopolitical threat or god forbid actually defend their existence with a real navy or airforce.

Luigiesque: Portrait of an Assassin

KDE for best fully integrated, out of box, modern DE.

XFCE + Compiz if you’re running on lower end hardware (uses less ram and utilizes gpu better). Also if you want even more customization than KDE with the drawback of limited SVG support (and still on X11 if that matters for you)

GNOME if you hate yourself and want to use a knockoff of ChromeOS or Mac.

Cinnamon and MATE if you want to see when GNOME used to be good.

LXQt is the XFCE equivalent of KDE, but is now on wayland with GPU accel, so it can fit the same area as XFCE+Compiz.

Wayfire (compositor) basically Compiz for Wayland if you want all the fancy effects on anything that uses wayland.

U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) is calling for Valve to pull the controversial game Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which has players acting as a Palestinian resistance fighter, from gaming platform Steam.

The game, created by Brazilian developer Nidal Nijm, has already been removed from Steam in several countries, including the United Kingdom, following a request for removal from the U.K. Counter-Terrorism Internet Referral Unit, 404 Media reported. Nijm also said that the game is blocked across the European Union due to EU violations flagged by the French government’s cybercrime unit. In an email from Valve that Nijm showed to Polygon, the violation is of Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2021/784, which addresses the “dissemination of terrorist content online.”

I think the funniest thing here is that this game was made by a Brazilian and it went relatively unknown until some skrub said it was anti semetic after Oct 7, despite having been published since 2022.

The news from only a day ago is already out of date wow.

People thought this was gonna be some extended situation but they really did sweep in only a matter of days.

5th most populous country in the world with practically zero western coverage about the citizens fighting the army and the government.

But when an actual populist was in office every dick wad at NYT and CNN couldn’t shut the fuck up about Imran Khan being some right wing conservative anti semite who criticized US policy.

ITT: Braindeads defending government censorship of the internet as if Zuckerberg won’t immediately replace the void with his own platform or by buying out TikTok in a bid.

Banning one platform would not magically get rid of short attention span and brainrot you fools. Every social media company already copied or utilizes the same techniques as TikTok, which is already a massive platform because they don’t spam ban or regulate content as hard as Facebook and YouTube do.

It is insulting that a Chinese run social media platform provides more freedom of speech online than its US competitors.

They’re banning it to remove competition, congress does not care about its effects on privacy or health, otherwise they’d have done something about Faceebook, Insta, Twiiter, and YouTube decades ago. They pulled their usual committee shenanigans to pretend to care by calling in CEOs to testify, and then promptly accepting a shitload of lobbying money.

Are you implying we should firewall free internet like china?

The TPM is not a dedicated cryptographic processor, it’s an external keystore with a few select functions. You’re thinking of an HSM which is used almost exclusively in servers that have to handle thousands of secrets per second.

CPUs have had dedicated AES hardware for decades which is why LUKS and Bitlocler use it by default.

The TPM just allows certain keys and secrets to be generated and stored physically separate from the CPU as a security measure.

Bitlocker and LUKS will store a master key in the TPM so that you don’t have to enter a password every time you boot. They retrieve it from the TPM and then use it to unlock the actual encryption key which is done entirely in the CPU. If the TPM detects foul play such as secure boot alteration, it will refuse to give the key or clear itself.

Using the TPM for constant encryption like at rest disk encryption would be way too slow.

It’s so so small that most modern TPMs have been integrated into the CPU or even simulated via the motherboard firmware (fTPM and PTT).

I still fail to see how windows 11 was anything but a collusion scam to sell new hardware.

None of the changes including TPM requirements required a new iteration. Nothing about the underlying NT dropped any of the old and antiquated BS despite Microsoft hiring some morons to advertise the fact on reddit to all the insiders asking questions.

They even let the media pick up a fake report that Windows 11 was related to the Core OS and a brand new kernel was in the works.

If Microsoft wanted a marketing strategy, they could have properly started naming feature updates and adverising them similar to Apple.

8, 10, and 11 have also been a pain on enterprise because Microsoft axed their QA team. I seriously hope any new firms start considering linux desktop as a valid option. All they really need is a vendor to offer a solid distro along with an agreement to rapidly create/deploy any software solution so they don’t get scared looking at the cheap entry windows stuff.

I wish Valve would get off their ass and make games again so they’d have a proper engine to rival UE5.

Half of Epic’s gamestore wouldn’t exist if this was the 2000s when people were flocking to the source engine because it was free and heavily modded

Sometimes I wish someone would make a an Arch box and come back to it years later to see the updates it has missed.

But that’s assuming an Arch box would be reliable enough to stay alive that long lol.

Always heard of 20+ year old bsd and debian machines chugging along with no issue.
