grimblee··on We don't know why Malawi is poor
Rwanda serves as the occident's proxy to extract minerals from the kivu soil, it has been occupying it since the end of the genocide on the pretence of pursuing the genocidal troops that fled there. There is absolutely no surprise here, it's rich becaus it plunders the richest soil on earth.
grimblee··on CVE-2026-31431: Copy Fail vs. rootless containers
Since in --userns=auto, root inside the container gets assigned to the first uid of the uid range assigned by podman, copyfail would succeed but you'd get uid 647831 and be able to do nothing with it
grimblee··on CVE-2026-31431: Copy Fail vs. rootless containers
--userns=auto asign a different namespace for each container, so if you escape it you get a random uid far far away from root it also protects other containers from the compromise since they each have their own namespace and uid/gid range, the drawback though is that you can't mount shared volume unless you use a pod, since you would see files from outside your uid/gid range as owned by nobody and inaccessible.
grimblee··on CVE-2026-31431: Copy Fail vs. rootless containers
If I understand correctly, rootfull podman with --userns=auto would also prevent the privilege escalation ?
grimblee··on U.S. Ambassador to EU: Stop Fining Big Tech
Fuck big tech, I'm fine with using Mistral
grimblee··on New farm bill would condemn pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates
Go ask kids forced to work for years in cocoa plants or coltan mins in africa what they think of your little explaination
grimblee··on I'm reluctant to verify my identity or age for any online services
I am pretty sure they know our identity pretty accurately already, through browser fingerprinting and google's gmail data, my real concern is the half-assed security measure with our id cards. The persona breach just recently proved they cannot be trusted and this expose us to identity fraud/theft.
grimblee··on Whistleblower leaks personal details of thousands of Border Patrol/ICE Agents
A tolerant society cannot tolerate intolerence, lest it gets destroyed by it.

You cannot give anything to fascists, we know what they do, history is there, they didn't change, they're doing exactly the same thing.

grimblee··on Whistleblower leaks personal details of thousands of Border Patrol/ICE Agents
I read that during the irish occupation, irish policemen (so, working for the british governement) were rejected and isolated socially, treated as traitors to their people.

Which led them to eventually refuse to continue oppressing their people for money, the revolution, independance, all that.

I kinda see connections, don't you ?

grimblee··on Whistleblower leaks personal details of thousands of Border Patrol/ICE Agents
Did you know the early nazis where actually impressed by america's segregation and racism and lamented they couldn't easily do the same? Well, they kinda did in the end.
grimblee··on Elon Musk Just Endorsed Blatant White Nationalism and the Silence Is Deafening
Class of people in the occident*
grimblee··on Elon Musk Just Endorsed Blatant White Nationalism and the Silence Is Deafening
White men are the most privileged and protected class oh prople in the accident, all this is bullshit.

You have no idea what people outside of it are saying because you don't talk to them, you've just been endoctrined by the media playing on your fears of the unknown and of losing some of those privileges.

But the thing is, the most privilegied losing privileges isn't something horrible, it's simple justice, restoring the balance.

grimblee··on Delete LinkedIn – you'll have zero fucking regrets (2021)
Well, I've never used linkedin outside of job hunts, and for that it was useful.

The social media part seems trash tier and I want no part of it though.

Free speech ends where hatred starts.

grimblee··on Ask HN: MIT grad, junior dev layoffs – watching my daughter lose faith in merit
Meritocracy is the myth the dominant class created to keep us all playing.

Is all about luck and there's only so many seats, you better be born closer to the free ones.

grimblee··on I'm returning my Framework 16
I hate the fact the keyboard is non-standard, the mental hoop to jump between my normal keyboard on my desktop and the macbook pro one is a no-go.

I told my job I prefered an old lenovo thinkpad than this dumb, vendor-locked, thing.

grimblee··on I'm returning my Framework 16
Tbh I just bought a 250€ refurb laptop, it has 14k cpu benchmark and 16gb ram, 256gb ssd.

Honestly do you need more to do terminal emulation? No, you don't.

Ok I won't play bg3 on this but that's good, it means I'll be productive !

grimblee··on Europe's new carbon tax on imported goods will change global trade
Nope, as an European I'm totaly willing to pay a carbon tax and very happy that it will be less interesting to pollute for profit.

Trump is the worst thing this planet has to offer and his tariffs are akin to the biggest kid bullying the rest of the kindergarden court, I'm gonna boycott american products till I die.

grimblee··on OpenAI Is Maneuvering for a Government Bailout
So if I understand correctly, you're gonna pay the product if you use it in some way (or if you're forced to use it) and even if you don't want/avoid using it, you're gonna pay through your taxes.

Well, suck to be american huh, them big capitalists love to do you all dirty.

grimblee··on Is Mozilla trying hard to kill itself?
I'm specifically avoiding chrome-based browser as form of protest against google's monopoly.

Currently using waterfox, but might go for librewolf... In any case I'm very interested in servo, even thinking of contributing to it.

grimblee··on Firefox is becoming an AI browser and the internet is not at all happy about it
Same, ladybird's devs have expressed far-right opinions, can't trust them with my data
grimblee··on US threatens EU digital services market access
I make less then 70k€ yearly and I live in a capital and sure I'm not wealthy as fuck but it's perfectly fine.

People need to stop this obssession with getting rich, I know it's because our system glorifies it (and greed), but most people won't get rich (value isn't created magically, if one has a lot, a lot have nearly nothing) and being wealthy is immoral in any cases.

grimblee··on US threatens EU digital services market access
Great, give us more reasons to cut ties with you, uncle sam !
grimblee··on Is Mozilla trying hard to kill itself?
I think that's false, with the current state of internet, advertising everywhere, enshitification and monetization of users private data, some people are ready to pay for services that were considered "free".

I am paying for kagi, and I would pay for a good, private browser (I know they make onion but I'm on linux, not macos or windows).

grimblee··on Problems with D-Bus on the Linux desktop
Now that's the info I missed, I knew the hyperland devs have a bad reputation so I was wondering what was not being said , thank you good sir.
grimblee··on The Leftist Tactic of Labeling Opponents as Nazis or Fascists
Fascists should be fought everywhere all the time, even for "jokes". People are quick to forget but history isn't, and the death count speaks for itself. A tolerant society cannot tolerate intolerance, lest it gets destroyed by it.
grimblee··on Trump security strategy reportedly calls for "pulling Poland away from EU"
As soon as Poland leaves the EU they become an easier target for Russia. This plays right in their hands. Put it's not surprising, Trump has been licking Putin's boots since day 0
grimblee··on NATO's Rutte warns against a war on the scale of that seen by past generations
This whole fear-mongering for re-armements of Europe smells like lobbying from the military-complex to capitalize on the Ukraine war by sowing fear in the european population, to justifying spendings.
grimblee··on Richard Stallman on ChatGPT
It's usefull, but does spew a lot of bullshit, especially when your request seem to imply you want something to be true, it will happily lie to positively answer you.
grimblee··on Twitter axes European Commission's ad account after €120M EU fine
Yes, excellent idea ! Let's make X less legitimate by removing a bunch of people.
