Merriam-Webster reads that the definition of propaganda is ideas, facts, or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause.

Russia "attempting to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia" seems like it fits the textbook definition of propaganda to me. Not sure if you know how to use a dictionary, though - seems like it might be out of your wheelhouse.

some of the later Swift albums are preferable at least to me - they're almost bordering on synth pop especially on 1989.

entirely agree on Florida Georgia Line. fuck that noise, it's pure garbage

i happen to be prototyping (just drawing and speccing) this with high gain directional 5GHz Wi-Fi radios for my local community. I worked as an engineer in the fixed wireless space for some time, so I think it's definitely viable to setup a few point-to-point and multi-point radios around and get a small metro area network running. at this point I just need to get my hands on the hardware lol

it always bugs me how governments who demand backdoors continuously fail to realize that even if they backdoor the encryption of Signal: PGP, or more similarly to Signal, Pidgin+OTR and/or OMEMO all still exist, are well maintained and are designed to work on top of insecure channels. This isn't gonna be the way to catch actual bad actors, they'll all just get SimpleX or Pidgin or any other number of things and continue communicating and "going dark".

...not to mention that Signal's source code is open, so even if they compromise the Signal client, you can just switch to Molly or build an older version - or if the server is compromised, you can run your own with the backdoor disabled or stripped out. This is a zero-sum-game all the way down.

so when do us network engineers start seeing Tbps-class DDoS attacks from every single DoD /8 IP block because Big Balls™ is using it as a DDoS-as-a-service botnet? :D

so when does a judge charge this guy with negligent homicide, the enforcement arm ignore it, and someone impersonate our favorite green Nintendo plumber?

i am in cybersecurity and IT. i saw a huge cyber attack on Bluetooth-enabled devices at an event a while back, and it put several people with Bluetooth-enabled insulin pumps in the hospital.

i recently discovered that a good friend of mine has an insulin pump. i am legitimately worried about her safety as a result, and even more so after seeing this.

i also do not like this :D
