boston_clone··on Evidence of a spying operation by ICE against left-wing social movements
You haven’t provided “evidence” or proven anyone wrong, and you’re the only one here name-calling.

It’s after 5pm on a Friday. Chill out and enjoy your weekend.

For New Hampshire, they did have two Republicans representing only about ten years ago. See for yourself here -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Hampshire%27s_congressiona...

Now, considering their redistricting happened in 2010 and 2022, perhaps their voters simply felt it appropriate to change. But what could’ve occurred in 2016 to convince people that Republicans suck? Maybe electing a guy that wants to figuratively fuck working class Americans and literally fuck his own daughter left a bad taste in their mouth.

Strange response. Bertrand Russel comes to mind here, though - that which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Wanna convince me? Substantiate your implied claim.

Imply? There's evidence for literally everything the parent mentioned. In order:

boston_clone··on Apple's git still trusts the compromised eMudhra certificates
Yes, exactly what the Apple article highlights! Appreciate the extra context.

CLI-based activity references etc/ssl/cert.pem. While they say this will be updated in the future (likely the next dot release), admins can also proactively remove the eMudhra entries.

> they prioritize those who are bigger dangers

Then why is the administration revoking immigration status, and we have evidence that a significant portion of those detained have zero criminal background? Worse, why are you acting as an apologist for fascist and xenophobic policies?

And what do you call targeting people based on their skin color?

The framing applied here in this comment is very odd. People are allowed to organize and assemble.

One might even go a step further and say people are obligated to do so when the government repeatedly abuses its power to intimidate and violently affect the lives of people without due process or cause.

Same here - I genuinely thought this would have been easily, and almost immediately, remediated vis-a-vis CRLs. I'm not in the vuln management space anymore, but is there some sort of caching system used which would affect software differently than a typical browser?

Calling something hypocritical and dishonest isn't an ad hominem, even if it hurts your feelings and hits close to home.

"My empathy is with legal immigrants [...]"

Sure, pal. And Kristi Noem is empathetic towards family pets. Good luck out there!

> "They are cleansing the country of outsiders [...]"

This is racist nonsense, and it's not a debate. Good luck out there!

Racist nonsense emitted from a mentality broken by fear and propaganda.
boston_clone··on ICE Planning $100M 'Nightmare' Domestic Spy Program
Ew, bootlicking hypocrisy and dishonesty in broad daylight. Nope!

You claim:

> This is disingenuous. The problem is not "filming" ICE agents.

Except here we have it straight from the dog-shooter’s mouth:

> Kristi Noem said, "Violence is anything that threatens them and their safety, so it is doxing them, it's videotaping them where they're at when they're out on operations, encouraging other people to come […]

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-administration-say...

Moving on. You claim:

> No; at most they evidence that people claiming to be citizens have been deported.

And a five second google query yields:

I would recommend you try and detach from your currently-held beliefs and re-evaluate these events through a more empathetic and constitutional lens.

thank you for providing that citation; the recorded future article does provide a better explanation of the exploit details that the original post
boston_clone··on AdFection: Targeted ads turned into a pipeline for zero-click mercenary spyware
> they attribute to the ads based on the DLL hard-coding some domains related to the ad campaign

No, their attribution is much more robust than this. Neglecting those details to oversimplify your explanation is intellectually dishonest.

> there is nothing explaining how the DLL becomes zero-click compromised [...]

They do, just a little later in that same section: "Both samples use a COM hijack for persistence [...]" through a malicious DLL.

of course not, that kind of racism is ingrained even in the original constitution. progress has been made in the last 200 or so years, but not without near-constant opposition from bigots along the way - something we see plainly even today.

The word citizen is intentionally absent from the text of the amendment. Bill of rights applies to all persons*, not just citizens.

boston_clone··on What's Earth's dominant species by mass?
Sure, there are caveats. But the current estimate is quite a bit more scientifically-backed than shaking tree branches and extrapolating from there - which, funny enough, seems like the foundation for one of the cited publications attempting to counter the claim of beetle diversity: "Remarkable fly (Diptera) diversity in a patch of Costa Rican cloud forest".
boston_clone··on What's Earth's dominant species by mass?
No, it’s because beetles have the most diversity of any animal order.

“The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described arthropods and 25% of all known animal species…”

Perhaps more frustratingly, if you bite the bullet and browse the "new" version on your mobile browser, the page will eventually become non-responsive and have ~60% of your screen covered by a bottom banner that prompts you to download their app to continue. It's like they are actively trying to kill their userbase.

i guess we’re seeing why your first account was nuked. if you’re failing to make a convincing point, you have to do better than replying with “LOL.”
boston_clone··on Letter to Governor Abbott on responsible AI infrastructure in Texas
thinking that those two things need the same level of attention is for sure a false equivalence for reasons stated elsewhere. glad we got to the bottom of that one. further, we also saw that Americans do care, which is why we had elected officials there last month and can read about it through AP.
boston_clone··on Letter to Governor Abbott on responsible AI infrastructure in Texas
Do you think that the issues deserve the same attention, or are you perhaps making a false equivalence?

As far as I’m aware, children aren’t being shot in the head and forcibly starved by an occupying force in Cuba. But to say that folks don’t care is clearly inaccurate.
