Assuming they (ISIS) have active members on the other side, and a corridor established, fleeing into Ukraine would be probably significantly safer - assuming Russian and Ukrainian internal security services aren’t sharing intelligence and otherwise cooperating while they’re engaged in a hot conflict.
Those are two separate events…
The false flag apartment bombings were carried out by actual Russian security services - not Chechen assets, or militants.
On an related unrelated note, some of Russian agents who took part were comically stupid. If you aren’t aware of the Sims vs SIM card mix-up, do yourself a favor and look it up.
Edit: as pointed out below, the Sims vs SIM card was not part of the 1999 false flag operation, but a more recent one (2022). My bad.
Yes, I agree. AI is magic and everyone should submit pictures of their genitals.
Hell, I’ve started converting my dick pics into ASCII art and having ChatGPT diagnose me for STI’s.
AI BABY WOOOOOO HOOOOO
What part of AI don’t you understand?
If you can’t trust AI medical startups operating out of Silicon Valley with pictures of your genitals, well…THEN WHO CAN YOU TRUST?
I mean, to be fair, it also looks like they might be partially financially backed by a foreign authoritarian regime, and they usually have pretty good AI models…so…
“Democracy Dies in Darkness”
lol
Also, 10:1 odds that Bezos, or whichever puppet master he assigned to pull WaPo’s strings, was already aware of this, and it was key factor for why they him hired.
Honestly, you’re better off getting an Nvidia Shield TV, or another premium Google certified Android TV box.
But if you’re deadset against that, then get a used Chromebox off eBay for like $20-40. Just make sure whatever model you get is firmware flashable and supports user installed Linux. Search “Chromebox Linux HTPC”, there’s plenty of resources available.
Headline implies it’s an article, it’s not. It’s ad copy.
This isn’t an article…it’s an ad, pretending to be an article so they can sell that awful jacket through their affiliate link.
Well, because she knows what would happen to her if she did say no.
Well, I know one location I can remove from my travel itinerary.
No way I’m buying a child bride from someplace that fucked up.
Australia’s media market is controlled by just two corporate entities, of which, the least insane one is the Murdoch press. To be clear, that’s an indictment of Nine Entrainment, not an endorsement of Murdoch.
It literally insane corrupt megacorp (News Corp) vs even more insane and more openly corrupt megacorp (Nine Entertainment).
I think they’re calling bullshit on the 300 KIA in this single strike.
I also think CNN is headlining “vacuum bomb” because it makes it sound like some future tech wunderwaffe, and not the relatively standard use munition that fuel air bombs are.
However, a precise strike with a thermobaric bomb on a gathering of people, building, or a compound, is something that could easily cause 300 KIA - if their was that many people there to begin with.
It’s not good practice to take any military at their word on their enemy KIA figures, but it wouldn’t be shocking if this strike has a significant number of causalities, nor would it be shocking if Russia pulled it out of their ass.
Who knows.
…No… you’re using very specific financial crimes as a catch-all description for financial engineering.
Words have meaning. You might as well say Microsoft is a bank robber, because that’s also a financial crime of sorts.
Stock market overvaluation and general economy shitfuckery doesn’t make it a pyramid scheme, which is a very specific type of financial crime.
Pyramid schemes involve organizations that can only survive with a constant flow of new investors because they don’t actually make any money from whatever the business is supposed to be doing i.e. selling goods and services to consumers.
Microsoft brings in significant revenue from selling it’s products to end users, which means it’s not a pyramid scheme.
…that’s not what a Pyramid scheme is.
ProPublica is an independent nonprofit news organization with a long track record of high quality investigative journalism…so, they might be marginally more credible than random Lemmy users.
There’s so much wrong with your understanding here…so I’ll just point out that you’re talking about Twitter as if it’s still a public company, it’s not.
Also, Twitter was never profitable, and it was likely never going to be profitable. But there’s a big difference between their losses and projections before Musk, and after.
Let me preface by saying that I myself am not making a political statement, just a quick retort/correction:
“…Seems they [biologists] have achieved something like a consensus on the matter [trans women are women]. I don’t see anything inherently political”
No, that’s not a scientific question or statement, it’s a sociological one, which makes it intrinsically political.
We, as a society, or a large enough group, can come up with a consensus belief that trans rights are human rights and that we can collectively treat other people by the gender role of their choice.
But biologically speaking, being trans doesn’t change one’s chromosomes. Which is why I think it’s misguided to say that trans issues are actually questions that hard science should answer, they aren’t.
Which, ironically, is why Elon’s moronic AI gambit is failing (by his metrics), because the online culture he used to as a dataset to train it, has collectively agreed that trans women are women, amongst other social and political opinions that his sycophants can’t stand.
He probably should have trained it with TruthSocial’s cesspool instead.
I can’t wait to see Tay AI 2.0 level reincarnation after they “retrain it”. It’s going be to hilarious.
That’s not fair.
Wait, my bad, I was thinking about something else.
That’s definitely fair, and accurate.
Absolutely. Everyone here is acting like PDF and JPEG exploits on Android don’t exist.
I agree that OP shouldn’t pay for one, and that most AV apps are, at best, garbage, but there are also reasons to have one, and reasonable ones to install - Hypatia being one of them.
