  • Meme mentions CISA and FBI but everyone knows NSA already has a master list of vulns that they juggle deciding if they’re worth disclosing or better off keeping for themselves lol.

    They sat on Eternal Blue for allegedly a decade. Any APT has plenty of time and money to spend attacking America’s public infara when they don’t even bother to cover the bargain basement stuff like the insanity that is Microsoft AD.

    I wonder if China is any better with their hefty surveillance and firewall though. I wouldn’t be completely surpised if some of their public infara is also exposed for the same reasons.

    I did a fresh install of windows 11 and I opened edge the first time only to crash after a second because it couldn’t handle the fact that I wasn’t signed into a Microsoft account.

    It crashed immediately every successive attempt to open it.

    After the 15th try (mostly for my own amusement) I downloaded Firefox from the windows store so that there’d be a functional browser in the VM I had just set up for someone to use to run essentially the last scamware app he still needs for hopefully not much longer (cough intuit cough)







  • From the telegraph article:

    Imran Khan has been granted bail by a Pakistani court for one of the cases against him but the ex-prime minister is likely to remain in jail because of a host of other charges.

    On Wednesday, Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb, of the Islamabad High Court, accepted the former cricketer’s bail plea in a trial relating to alleged illegal sale of state gifts.

    But there was “no chance” of his release because of at least eight other charges against him, Pakistan’s information minister said.

    “Release for him is not possible; there are many other cases he needs to secure bail in,” Attaullah Tarar told Pakistani media.

    Mr Tarar added that the eight other charges related to the “mayhem” of May 9 2023, when Khan’s supporters rioted and stormed the Pakistani army’s headquarters in response to his arrest.

    Seems like something brewing behind the scenes after the US election considering they were stalling all these cases since August last year.





  • The protocol isn’t even the issue, banks already use XRP.

    It’s the fact that USD is propped up by Uncle Sam’s globalized monopoly which is kept in tip top shape by geopolitical power.

    Everyone trades in USD because it’s the de facto currency and it’s stable because the government can abuse its power to keep it that way.

    No one trusts the value of the Ruble, Yuan, Rupee, or even any other currency except for maybe the Euro. They all exist for internal use, which means its just gets compared in value to USD whenever you have to deal with anything external, which is all the time.

    BRICS would only fly if a stable trade medium can rapidly prove its worth with market stress and trade requirement, otherwise everyone will just continue to use USD, hence why the USA doesn’t currently view it as much of a threat. And even if you could get countries on board, the US can hold on to a massive noose around everyone’s neck by refusing to trade in anything but USD, which would effectively shut you off from trading with a massive portion of US based/owned/partner companies.

    I know people are gonna say it’s all relative and we all see the past through a golden lens, but tbf the last major genocide was in the 90s, so a whole new population of young people are getting to witness the deepest horrors of humanity in all its glory, and in 4k UHD thanks to the evolution of technology.

    Imagine telling someone 30 years ago that we’d be getting DIY video guides on how to survive in a combat zone, or being able to easily access a massive amount of media showing people getting shot, bombed, stabbed, sliced, and burned alive for existing.

    Don’t you all love the future.


  • I like how Pakistan is striped as if they didn’t just throw away billions of dollars of chinese investments for some IMF loans because the US told them to lol.

    Also Afghanistan being green which actually happened right before Pakistan’s thing

    EDIT: Also India which always gets refused US arm tech sales because they exclusively buy from Russia lol. It’s like enemy of my enemy but also friend of my other enemy.
