Tucker was and is in the trade of packaging Russian propaganda as news

And much of the US “journalists” are in the business of packaging US propaganda as news. There is just as much propaganda - if not more - in general US news. Since the US likes to portray itself as hosting a free press, one would assume (if one were pretty naive, admittedly) it would be glad to have reporting on the Russian government’s positions and communiqués.

lmao this is a CIA outlet:

The organization is chaired and run primarily by former senior United States intelligence and State Department officials. Laura Thornton, formerly of International IDEA, joined ASD as its new director in May 2021. Laura Rosenberger, chair of the American Institute in Taiwan and former senior director for China on the Biden administration’s National Security Council, previously served as a director of ASD. ASD is housed at the German Marshall Fund of the United States and its work spans across both the United States and Europe

Even the fucking Washington Post (of all newpapers !) admits they’re not exactly a source to be trusted.

Thank you !

I stand corrected, that does look close to noscript’s feature, thanks !

Though I don’t know if it has a “whitelist mode” (all JS disabled by default everywhere but content still fetched) like the default noscript has.

uBlock Origin does not block javascript execution depending on the domain. They do not serve the same purpose.

noscript is essential security-wise IMO

You’re not addressing their point. You’re the one that equated being virulently anti-israel with being “antisemitic” in your initial comment.

And frankly taking a look at the modlogs the removals I see seem all perfectly justified (mostly the spreading of actual lies, such as bullshit about decapitated babies).

Sorry, I should’ve clarified: I didn’t try it with BG3 (I use the gog version) - hence my “I don’t think so”; I simply assumed it wouldn’t work because that’s the case with like 99% of steam games.

This means Larian specifically implemented their calls to the steam API in order not to exit if it fails to connect; that’s indeed pretty good and in fact I know of only one other such exception to the rule: rimworld.

I mean, I can copy Baldur’s Gate on a PC where there’s no Steam at all and play it just fine, because the game itself doesn’t have any restrictions

I don’t think so, no. You can do that with the gog version. With the steam version it’ll try to launch / connect to the local installed steam at startup, and fails if it cannot do so. You’d need to install a steam emulator like goldberg for it to work.

This is the case with most games (there are a few exceptions) on steam, even those that don’t enforce “strong” DRM. They want steam running. This is, by itself, a completely unacceptable form of DRM.

Exactly right. I keep reading this and I never know how to respond, it really isn’t that hard and it’s worth it. I’ve posted this before here but personally I go with a postfix+mariadb+dovecot+postfixadmin+spamassassin+opendkim stack; it’s extremely easy to set up (if you read the docs) and it has suited me perfectly. Once it’s configured it’s rock solid

Beyond the obvious privacy advantages, being able to generate an email alias at any time (to the point where you can create one dedicated for each shitty thing you subscribe to) is also very useful for spam protection / infinite free trials and the like. Also aliases redirecting towards many recipients for easy organizing / mailing-list-like behaviour

Yes, but that’s almost certainly you connecting to the pop3 server (usually indeed provides TLS), or the server connecting to a dedicated smarthost for delivery (sometimes does as well). But mail exchange between MTAs that don’t use smarthosts but reach the MX destination directly is mostly unencrypted, through port 25

The answer is almost universally “no”, if you didn’t encrypt it yourself and are sending a cross-domain mail

Gmail is actually relatively chill accepting stuff from self-hosted MTAs, even new ones the IP of which hasn’t established a reputation yet

Outlook is indeed rougher but none of them even come close to the awfulness that are Apple / icloud email servers

He doesn’t want profits, quite obviously you do (and seem obsessed by it), you’re the only one doing the projecting here - along with posting pitiful platitudes that’d make a shitty linked-in life coach delete their post in shame

What he did is ask you, literally, what you had in mind for the 99.99% of people that don’t win the tech innovation lottery

What the fuck is wrong with email now ?

It’s one of the only things that hasn’t been ruined those past few internet decades, only slightly improved, and is still decentralized and can still allow you to self host, don’t you touch it

A homeless person is without the mental structure to build something lasting, or else they would not be homeless or would identify differently, e.g. as a traveler.

You’re a truly disgusting ghoul

This is not a religious garment (not that it’d matter if it was IMO, it’s hardly obnoxious); this is a cultural one, mostly (even that is pushing it, a lot of them look basically indistinguishable from the basic dress).

Let people wear what they want

literally lmao

Like the school year started three days ago here in and there have now been several examples of “abaya” dresses being stopped despite not “being abayas”; and the reverse as well (and of course there would be; they’re fucking casual dresses, I’m fairly certain you’d get a different answer on whether one is or isn’t even from fucking textile experts or something). Often with the deciding factor being the color of the skin of the person wearing it.

The whole thing is a racist trip; along with a sadly common recurrent theme in french politics to divert the national attention when other shit is going on

I wonder that too

I’m French and actually he’s bang on the money, it’s entirely about racism under the bullshit cover of “secularity”
