Good.

And so the blame game has begun. And just like in 2016, Dems will point at everything except themselves. But that's not how democracy works.

Even if you computer is not exposed to the internet: are you certain that every other device on the network is safe (even on public wifi)? Would you immediately raise the alarm if you saw a second printer in the list with the same name, or something like "Print to file"? I think I personally could fall for that under the right circumstances.

Putin couldn't care less about the support from some random programmers. Be realistic, what do you expect them to do? Take up arms? Protest and get imprisoned? Vote in the sham elections?

Targeting random civilians in hopes of political change is the strategy of terrorists.

Ignoring all the assassinations and strikes by Israel, including the unprovoked bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus?

So then you agree that there is no reason to be "glad" about this?

And how exactly is banning these contributors supposed to stop the invasion? These people have no control or culpability.

So you're saying that the GDPR makes it illegal for individuals to use surveillance for self defense. That's not true. Recital 50 specifically allows people to share data with law enforcement. And if you're referring to putting up cameras, that's actually very ineffective at reducing crime while it does expand mass surveillance.

Inseparable roommates

A state-department funded propaganda outlet with a "controversies" Wikipedia section longer than any I've seen. Yet MBFC gives it the highest possible rating?

That's an obvious lie. If you bothered to actually read the report, you can see on page 2 that the vast majority of shots are coming from Israel.

Why the password.trim()? Silently removing parts of the password can lead to dangerous bugs and tells me the developer didn't peoperly consider how to sanitize input.

I remember once my password for a particular organization had a space at the end. I could log in to all LDAP-connected applications, except for one that would insist my password was wrong. A trim() or similar was likely the culprit.

These scams are convincing enough that countless people fall for them. Blaming them individually is not going to bring us any closer to a solution. Better fraud detection and mitigation will.

Stop eating pants you fool

Your privacy is very important to us and our 293 partners.

The 2 percent of GDP target is imaginary. They made it up, in no small part because of lobbying from the defense industry. There is no reason for NATO to spend so much more than all other countries combined.

Stopping Russia should have been done through economic and diplomatic means. No amount of NATO bombs or tanks would have stopped the invasion. It only would have fueled the flames and given legitimacy to Russia's claimed insecurity. Economic power is much stronger than military sabre rattling. The EU is founded on that exact principle and it's the reason why it's still together.

Just because the US government likes to funnel trillions to their military industrial complex instead of healthcare, doesn't mean the rest of NATO has to do the same. Even without the US, NATO already spends more on defense than Russia and China combined, even before the invasion of Ukraine.

You know very well that's not what I said. But please educate me why nuclear armageddon is good, actually.

Is this a threat?

It scares me that anyone could come to this conclusion. Are you so clueless about the unimaginable, unprecedented suffering and death that such a conflict would bring, or does your emotional attachment prevent any rational assessment? There is no reality where WW3 and "not necessarily a bad thing" belong in the same sentence.

It's a good thing to punish territorial aggression, but there can be no doubt that WW3 is the worst outcome for everyone.
