Exactly, dividing the left-wing even more would only lead to failure. The best action was to unify to squeak by, but it didn't work this time obviously.

I can only speak to the politics in the US, but you're right in that Democrat officials are largely are wordy with little talk and no bite. I don't know if I directly blame them for the right turning fascist over the last 10 years but you can't fight a growing fire by conceding ground and feeding it while hoping that it'll be less hungry next time. The start of the fire was definitely started by Trump's propaganda in 2016 but the kindling was laid out prior in acts like Citizen's United. People were bored and wanted something different in 2016, republicans being ethically blind to damage their policies might cause. Dems really fucked up by backstabbing Bernie and forcing a bad candidate into the spotlight. 8 years later and they haven't learned anything and the working class is still left behind.

I don't know the answer to forcing the Democratic party to fix its mistakes, I just know where it went wrong.

Sorry but in the face of fascism, idealism should take a backseat. You can't prod a party to do better by voting for the opposition and you shouldn't punish everyone that is more vulnerable then you are just because you don't like your options. The time to build is between presidential elections anyways.

I mean, we've already had conversion therapy camps that families throw their queer or questioning kids into. Who's to day that's not a solution dreamed up here: Project 2025

Forgot this part: LGBTQ+ and what they are already doing now: mediamatters

He hasn't even tried redemption. Hell, he hasn't even begun to pay for his previous crimes and is looking to commit more crimes. Redemption is when people try to make things right. How can you say this is about giving second chances when all he's done is try the same shit the second time around. What a disappointment.

It might be that someone wanted to change something that was on a website before the archive could get to it too.

So, what you're saying is... the law actually doesn't make sense. It should be that if they were a convicted felon, then that should be disclosed along with their old name. All of the other conditions here seem unnecessary unless we want to include name changes in general, which then they need to add a space on the actual form to include this.

For real.

It looks like the actual number of candidates were 958 and only 15% of that number were reserved for testing, the rest were used in AI training data. So in reality only 144 people were tested with the AI and there's no information from the article on how many people were formally diagnosed of this subset.

I think everyone needs to remember that we have essentially turned this virus into the new flu. We'll probably settle to pushes for yearly vaccines to reduce symptoms and the chance of passing it on, like the flu. And if you're not immunocompromised or elderly, then think of those around you who might be. They are the ones you're affecting as well as yourself if you get this vaccine.

Here's an article on vaccine immunity timelength and how it compares to the flu: Time.

It's not different for the Internet. We've always had people that have been opposed to ideologies separate from their own. Book bans aren't anything new and neither are restrictions to free speech. Nazi book burnings and the US Red Scare are extreme examples of this. It's all a symptom of nationalism and ethnocentrism, just a different place/time/media. What really sucks is that the nationalists have a lot of power now all over the world, and we're slowly seeing the results of that.

This isn't about saving the kids. This is about controlling the populous.

Here's a link to the actual Trendmicro article: https://www.trendmicro.com/en_us/research/23/i/earth-lusca-employs-new-linux-backdoor.html.

Not sure why OP's article linked the version from 2 years ago.

Also an article with more info: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-sprysocks-linux-malware-used-in-cyber-espionage-attacks/.

Edit:

My understanding of these articles is that there is a hacking group that is targeting public facing servers that are exploitable using other methods and utilizing this sprysocks software to create an opening for them to remotely access the server. If that's the case then this shouldn't affect most Linux desktops or isolated systems. Let me know if anyone has more info.

For real. Can anyone say that they guessed this would actually be a headline 7 years ago?
