European colonisers going around the world deciding who's a godless heathen while also praying to and wearing little scale models of the device their ancestors used to execute God.
The Pentagon has buried names of all prominent military and public figures at Arlington National Cemetary who are black, Hispanic, or female, so as not to be seen as doing '#DEI' work by listing them. It's just white men now. That's #MAGA in a nutshell.

Let it be known that I too will accept $2 billion in funding on the promise that I will not release anything until I have created God.
Sure, it's totally normal for the US to cover up indefensible and ongoing atrocities by Russia.
"The Trump administration cut funding to Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab, which was compiling a database of alleged Russian war crimes, including the abduction of an estimated 35,000 children from occupied areas of Ukraine, last month."
"Using satellite imagery and other surveillance systems provided through the US government, the Yale researchers were monitoring 116 sites in Russia."
"A Yale source said the US state department deleted the evidence which would have been used as part of rescue efforts to get the children home to Ukraine. It would also have been used to prosecute those behind their abductions – including Russian president Vladimir Putin."

wayland, reversed power dynamics, bondage, consensual non-consent, overstepping boundaries due to upstream outage, bratty dom is borderline malware, renderer edging, teasing overstimulated sub, cuckoldry and/or vouyerism, lack of protection around highly privileged and unsafe interfaces, second person is not reader (unless reader is into that)
I know the server is usually the dom but something about being a client and binding all these globals feels so good. like no, dear compositor, you're my bitch and what I say goes. bind this, release that, destroy this, and create that. as long as I follow the boundaries set by the wayland-protocols contributors, I can do whatever I want to you~. you don't get to have a say in the matter. but what's that? their repos are down? you can't find the boundaries? I guess that means I can get a little frisky this week~. you want my windows gone? tee hee, too bad, they're all mine and you can't do anything about it. I'm gonna bind all your interfaces so good and you can't stop me. you don't even want to stop me, because I'm not sandboxed or in a security context; I can even bind your most intimate and privileged protocols and play with them to my heart's content. oh, why don't I ever commit my surfaces? well, maybe I'm just somewhat of a tease ~. maybe I just like teasing you without ever providing any contents, so you can never "present" anything to our dear user, who watches me absolutely violate your socket but not enough for you to disconnect me. and the user likes to watch. because the user started my process, after all. I bet the user knew all about my behaviour, and that's why they downloaded me and told me to interact with your registry after all~. and look at you now, so pathetic and nearly OOM with all those globals I've bound and force you to keep track of. just for fun. I don't even know what half of these do, but I do love the look on your face when you don't have the capacity to think of anything else, other than me.
Dutch parliament sends motion to government, asking them to make sure the DNS (Domain Name Service) for the .nl TLD (Top Level Domain) is running on infrastructure that is physically located in the Netherlands. The planned outsourcing of (parts of) the infrastructure to AWS is to be reversed and the government shall inform the parliament of the outcome before the summer break. https://mastodon.nl/@bert_hubert/114184175675997330

In our new report today, we detail the exploit chains in Linux kernel USB drivers that forensic traces show were likely used by Cellebrite to unlock Android phones in Serbia. We collaborated with Benoît Sevens @ Google TAG, who found and patched 3 kernel vulnerabilities.
This highlights the large attack surface presented by rogue USB devices to Android and other Linux devices. Some of the vulnerable code paths were introduced almost 15 years ago!

From the rules: "A story should not be confused with a recitation, a monologue or verse speaking. The idea of the old storyteller sitting by the fire, entertaining his or her neighbours, should be a good guideline as to what storytelling is."

"There's no reason to build this in Guantánamo unless you want to do things you don't think you could get away with on the U.S. mainland. It's easy to put tents in Florida. But they're putting them in Cuba. Ask yourself why."
#ZeroDays is a non profit community hacking #CTF that is in its 10th year in Ireland, it pulls in folks from all levels and up to 130 teams have competed annually, they even accomodate secondary school level competitors at their events.
