Google actually gave up mapping Germany in street view, because anyone could ask for their property to be censored. It was just too much hassle. Sadly since then, the German public, much like the rest of the western world, has been pacified by Big Tech, so Google started mapping again.
The truth, which you would know if you ever got out of your information bubble, I recommend DylanBurnsTV on YouTube by the way, is that Putin doesn’t care how many thousands of peasants or foreigners tricked into the war he has to kill to grind forwards. It’s the literal definition of zerg tactics.
On the other hand you have the US, where dear old Donny has developed a taste for regime change after Venezuela went so smoothly for him, while the US population, even MAGAts, has no desire to be dragged into a war. A proper ground invasion will not be accepted, high loss of life will not be accepted. Iran only needs to be able to fire drones at ships or bases occasionally to keep the heat on, while Trump has declared Regime change and total surrender of Iran his goal. Donny is simply delusional about what he can achieve in Iran without facing wide-spread protest.
That said, it is true that Israel and the US have complete air control and have heavily degraded Iran’s capability at conventional warfare. Something the Russians have not and will not achieve.
And that is just the domain of war-making. When it comes to disinformation campaigns, the Russians are the clear winner. Have you not read the recently released news that Orban was live-texting Lavrow updates on EU discussions on how to support Ukraine? There is a mole in the EU and Nato thanks to, in no small part, the Russian disinformation campaigns.
Russia runs giant misinformation campaigns in order to destabilize western countries. And the election of Trump shows that they’re getting worth their money. And if noone stands to oppose Russia, Putin can do as he pleases. And right now, the most we get from western countries is a halfhearted attempt at supplying Ukraine. Russia is failing to take Ukraine, but they are still inflicting high losses on Ukrainian civilians. If Putin can flip western nations, he can grind away at Ukraine and then the baltics, without much opposition.
It’s not auto-fill that is insecure, it’s auto-fill without interaction.
Depends on the extension. If it auto-fills without interaction or caches credentials, it can be tricked into auto-filling credentials. Extensions like the one for KeePassXC only auto-fill after you clicked on the auto-fill icon.
Your browser constantly runs 3rd party code and through its sheer complexity has a big attack surface. Password stealers regularly use flaws or social engineering to steal browser passwords. It is simply safer to use an application whose only function it is to store passwords securely.
For most parts of the world, the only reason why the problem with the variability isn’t solved yet, is because governments don’t want to invest in the electricity grid. We have the storage technologies, the only thing missing is money. And it’s unrealistic to say that energy needs to be trabsported from the Sahara to nordic countries. Finland already needs to cut its nuclear reactors, because the renewables in Finland produce so much energy. Only the furthest regions north can’t use solar.
I feel like this is giving him too much credit. His cronies are dismantling democracy. He’s just being steered from “issue” to “issue” like he’s in a wheelchair.
Probably because, even if you want to eat meat, it’s easy go for alternatives. When it comes to alcohol, no easy alternative can be used.
He is right, but most will choose convenience. And I do believe that people in the future will suffer for it. The brain is like a muscle; you have to use it to keep your mind sharp. I fear that in the future will lack critical thinking or frustration tolerance because AI makes it so easy.
Is the megathread outdated? It has entries that both don’t work anymore and were already removed in earlier versions.
Yes they are. But as a German citizen you can still have your property be pixelated.
