You know what they say, "everything is bigger in Texas." Including how Texans view Texas.

The Naz.API leak that was given to Troy Hunt is different from this leak. That's also an aggregation, but smaller in size. What Troy has is probably more significant since about 1/3 of that is newly discovered. Right now, no one has published an analysis of the unique accounts in this larger aggregation.

It's an aggregation of previous leaks. Malicious actors having all that information together is a big deal in and of itself, but it's not the"mother of all breaches" some publications are trying to make it be.

I dunno. I think it might depend on if he gets a sentence of more than probation. He may have to serve time first then get deported.

Oh no, disowned isn't nearly far enough. Dad should have responded, "My hands are named crows because they are part of a murder."

Yeah, the first 2/3rds of the article covering Naomi Wu was worth a read, but that last 1/3rd....... I get her argument, but she should have left that out to focus just on Naomi.

Given their history of hostilities. Hell has a better chance of freezing over than a secret agreement existing.

At that time Al-Qaeda and the Taliban were hiding along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan, and from the wikipedia article:

Pakistan's government publicly condemned these attacks. However, it also allegedly allowed the drones to operate from Shamsi Airfield in Pakistan until 21 April 2011. According to leaked diplomatic cables, Pakistan's Army Chief Ashfaq Parvez Kayani not only tacitly agreed to the drone flights, but in 2008 requested that Americans increase them.

I doubt Iran has a secret agreement to operate drones within Pakistan.

Tacopina declined to say why he was leaving. If he's a competent lawyer then he'd require cash up front. My money is on Trump being stupid with his lawyers again, or he refused to add more funds to his account.

Internet of Targets

You know what's cheaper than that? Being one guy with a jar.

We're not "such a shit hole". We're an exquisite shit hole.

Now do courthouses and see how well that goes.

I agree, but it is also within the sentencing guidelines. From a linked article within the article:

Kelly is scheduled to sentence Chrestman for his two felony convictions on Jan. 12. Estimated sentencing guidelines for his case recommended a prison term ranging from four years and three months to five years and three months.

The 4 years 7 months he got is a bit short of the mean. IMO the judge should have agreed with the prosecutors and given him the full sentence.

I don't know if they can actually stop you. Especially the first time. But they can definitely find you and fine you. A lot. Like more than tree fiddy.

Found the article where the screenshot came from, and wow it's even more infuriating! The VideoLAN folks tried to work with them for months, and Unity seems to have cranial rectal inversion.

I completely forgot about that term. That may be more accurate. In fact, it describes what has Windows has become.

Neat, TIL of another app. Unfortunately, it looks like development has been abandoned. The last update was from 13 years ago.

I like Cory Doctorow. I think his theory of enshittification is useful, but I find his definition flawed.

• Why is it limited to platforms? Can't enshittification apply to other things like applications?
• Are business customers really required or can that step be skipped?
• The platforms dying thing isn't what we are seeing. For example, Amazon is absolutely enshittified. They're not dead. More like undead, continuing to shamble on consuming everything.

I still give credit to Cory for being an acute observer and coming up with a useful theory.

You know what's free (as in beer and speech) and not being enshittified? Notepad++
