To his defence, the TAK is often claimed to be a militant wing of the PKK, that handles affairs that might damage the reputation of the main organization. Like how the Provisional IRA formed fake splinter groups to pin sectarian counterattacks on.

It feels like someone without much background knowledge wrote it with the intention of being an advertisement. Laser weaponry has been employed by Russia since the 70s, initially to blind pilots and damage electronics, and now, for anti-drone and missile purposes. And Kratos Defence has been producing naval lasers for a decade.

I'm sure there is some genuinely impressive technology behind this all, but it's certainly not coming across in the article.

Are you sure this isn't from SEO on the part of the news sites? I have not seen this at all.

I'm belittling it because it's obviously wrong. Every other field has survived digital piracy just fine, and the benefits of book piracy go weeeeeeeeeelll beyond short term entertainment. Like being able to educate yourself on any topic irrespective of your wealth.

Beyond that, thirty years of digital piracy have had a negligible effect on the industry as a whole, as with all other industries.

It is definitely not "small authors" pushing to close off what might be some of the greatest public sources of human knowledge in history, it's overwhelmingly the publishers, as they have catastrophized in every other field too.

Pretty sure it's a troll post implying the Jews are responsible, and that digging into this hidden fact would be reported as antisemitic.

He has topless photographs of his underaged niece, he had to hush his psychiatrist because her parents to her implied he molested her, he has chat messages about her "thinking I raped her" and openly admitted to showing her his naked body. You can go read the leaks right now if you want a source.

Or you can read this highly editorialized version that takes some innocent things out of context, while openly displaying the worst with it (https://bidenlaptopreport.marcopolousa.org/report_viewer/#p=...)

Information has been freely accessible and infinitely copiable for some decades now, and that has done far more social good than 'authors'. Authors should get with the times instead of shacking up with cartels who absurdly overprice books whilst paying them a pittance.

My ISP isn't funded by my taxpayer dollars and does not use said money to squat materials that it had no hand in creating. Research publishers do exactly this, while paying researchers a pittance.

I am also not convinced that this is harmful to the field whatsoever, when it has done no damage to art, music, film or video games.

I can almost understand the Covid censorship, considering that there were lunatics going around telling people to poison themselves or drink bleach. But the laptop story was purely cynical, as that contained both evidence of severe corruption and implications of child molestation.

California bought it because it looks nice, Southern Europe bought it to help drain marshes.

How big would you say Yacy's resource hogging is nowadays? I was considering running an instance years ago but I was told horror stories of it using 4 gb of ram at minimum.

Bigotry towards other Indians is unfortunately a common and global thing among Indian diaspora. So is nepotism. Many organizations and Indians in powerful positions have benefited from both.

Interesting article, but I have little reason to believe the Cartels would provoke further attacks with indiscriminate murder in Texas. It's also questionable to claim the majority of Cartel members, most of which are street gangsters and untrained affiliates, would have the resolve to fight a guerrilla war.

Press update.

It's definitely a thing with organized crime. It has also happened in the past, but that was before laws on child exploitation were broadly adopted. Companies like ColorClimax filmed the rape of children as young as 2 and may have been involved in their trafficking.

This feels like a paid advertisement with slander towards actually functioning models.

It's missing the most important part. It's based on a mature protocol (XMPP) that is battle tested in handling extremely heavy loads.

The bill sets up a system where content legal in one area can be banned because it's illegal in another. Even if it's not directly censorious (it is), nations like Hungary have already had their governments state they intend to abuse such bills for the purpose of cross-border censorship.

It allows hosts on every level to be criminally charged for user content. It has come with a backdrop of powerful interests pushing for cross-border takedowns in the EU. It suggests allowing copyright enforcement firms and NGOs to arbitrarily take down content and the legal protection against abuse is intentionally written vaguely and open endedly.

It's federalizing censorship laws by hiding them under a guise of "protecting you from the bad thing". It's just like how the EU now has a stricter DMCA than the DMCA, pushed by claiming it would protect small artists from infringement.

Half of these are just good, not 'so bad they're good'. The good ones convey the meaning of the film while being just odd enough to stick in your head. I imagine they'd be great for marketing.

Putting it all down to Hong Kong when the communists secured the largest growth in the nation's history up to that point, modernized the country, brought governing infrastructure to the many places completely devoid of it and provided the whole foundation for what made the transition to an globalized market economy even possible, is quite strange.

This is par for the course for any nation or alliance with desires to extend its power globally. I am very tired of people treating China as some terrifying exception with no comparison.

Reeks of takedown trolling. The Linux Foundation has never done this before and I doubt they'd choose this vendor to start.

The point of multiple life sentences is so if one is successfully appealed, they need go to through the whole bureaucratic process again to appeal another. This is quite different.

They received Saudi funding for years and instead of actually doing journalism, ran tourist industry advertisements. Vice has for quite a while been propaganda for those who can pay and investigative journalism for those who won't.

Some of these are very odd for someone in a position that almost certainly implies they've studied the source material and the nations that followed it.

The line about the Crusades particularly stands out, since it doesn't seem to match Marx nor match the takes of Communist bloc historians, who were somewhat compelled to tinge their works with Marxist orthodoxy.

In most cases, we objectively do know. Unless there's a yet unheard argument for cane toads and feral camels.

A tech company has ties to its native government and uses user data for its own corrupt ends? Shock of the century.

Continually re-open the ticket by responding to it by email and anything else you can and they eventually have a human check it. Discord, ironically, is terrible for gaming chats now, because there are so many basic things, like discussing weapons, killing other players, or ingame suicide, that can get a server taken down. It's basically all automated with a ban first and check later policy.

I can recommend Cinny, one of the most advanced Matrix clients, as a replacement, if your users are willing.
