"""
The primary use of “misinformation” is not to change the beliefs of other people at all. Instead, the vast majority of misinformation is offered as a service for people to maintain their beliefs in face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

In other words, it’s copium.

@ekis Well, IDK what kind of reality you live in, but #Ukraine is pretty much on top, despite everyone expecting #Putin's #Russia to have wiped it off the map within days...

I can tell you what the alternative is:

  • #Zelenskyy offers a bounty of $25M on Putin (#alive prefered, but his head on a silver platter is fine too) and this shit ends quickly.

So far Russia is loosing ground faster than it can entrench, and no amount if #Copium will change this fact on the ground, and with loosing air-supremacy, it's only a matter of months till Ukraine has regained the #StatusQuoAnteBellum and can then (rightfully!) switch the tide even harder...

  • Like at this point I'm surprised "Project #RainbowDash" (a supersonic UCAV that autonomously acquires targets and choots them down) hasn't been field-tested, cuz this thing was designed to outrun a Su-57 wilst outmaneuvering an Su-47...

@lunch And since you have no #facts nor #evidence nor #documentation for any of your claims re: #Monero being insecure, you're the one huffing #copium and fleeing the questions like a coward.

  • But hey, only you can ram your #reputation into the ground like that, cuz if any of your FUD was true, you'd not waste everyones' time, traffic and storage but instead already cashout a big-ass #BugBounty if not multiple ones for it...

Feel free to #FUD harder but that doesn't change the facts...

@awesomniac Natürlich kannste #Copium huffen oder mal die #Relaität checken:

Geh' mal als mehrfach-marginalisierte Person in einen #GrundrechtsfreienRaum welcher als "#Waffenverbotszone" euphemisiert wird, und dann sag' mir dass es kein #Polizeiproblem oder #Polizeistaat ist, wenn Leute von der #Polizei misshandelt und dann noch juristisch drangsaliert werden...

Dass jene #FaschistischeKackshice nur gegen jene geflext wird, die dem Staat unangenehm sind, erkennen wir doch am #StochastischenTerrorismus durch #rechtsextrem|e #Bauern...

@Cappyjax @WB2EEE @Zugschlus @elly

I disagree with your assessment to some extent, as on #Linux there's not much of a tolerace or even acceptance of #rootkits like #CorwdStrike for all the right reasons!

  • #Scareware like that has no legitimate reason to exist and the only place I've seen that is on #Windows because people distrusting #WindowsDefender and thus #Microsoft are unwilling to to what is evidently the correct solution and yeet Windows for good.

Cuz it's not about #Fanboyism, but a fact that most Windows - #Sysadmins (or rather decisionmakers for that matter) seem to be high on #Copium and refuse to take actual #consequences but accept the #Enshittification as a fact of life when it's not...

  • Or am I the only one who remembers the rightful backclash when #ads were shoved into #Ubuntu whilst on #Windows11 and #Windows10 people just seem to shrug their shoulders?

It's just that this entire shitshow would not have happened on #Linux because here we don't have an entire ecosystem of #ValueRemoving "#AntiVirus" bs being shoved on Desktops and Servers in the form of #Binaryblob #Kernelhacks!

MastodonCpyJx 🍉 (@Cappyjax@mastodon.social)@kkarhan@infosec.space @WB2EEE@mastodon.radio @Zugschlus@zug.network @elly@donotsta.re I'm a Linux fanboy but what you're saying are half-truths mixed with non sequiturs to make it seem like this issue could never happen on Linux. What happened to Windows/CrowdStrike can happen to _any_ system. Full stop. The only reason it didn't affect every Linux system is because the ecosystem isn't homogeneous. If they had all been on the same version that crashed, then **every single one** would have crashed. Good admin practice isn't exclusive to Linux.

"Last year, Senate Republicans offered an ever-evolving series of reasons why the end of Roe wouldn't disrupt their push to retake the Senate majority. First, it was that the economy would trump all. Next, it was that voters won't remember they've been stripped of rights by the time November rolls around. They also spun the notion that abortion was a state issue that wouldn't affect federal races.

Here they go again."
