I love the creativity of how these stash boxes work.

I think the implication they appreciate quite well is that a United States under minority tyranny will either cease to be a dependable ally or cease to be a country. https://t.co/TKRQ1MY03J

Elbridge Colby @ElbridgeColby

The very strong statements from several NATO governments on yesterday’s Court decision on abortion are truly striking. I’m not sure they fully appreciate the implication, as they implicitly but profoundly cut against the trope that these alliances are based on shared values. 1/

I don't think most people understand the depth of the surveillance infrastructure built over the past few decades. It's not just online and it's not stoppable by turning off a few options or opting out. Slightly shortened print version of my piece on it.

Print version of my piece on why the reckless way in which technology has been allowed to used for surveillance, in ways little understood by many, may be used by law-enforcement or vigilantes in a post-Roe America. https://t.co/x7JKB0CzRl https://t.co/1hYVabeQ58

Ransomware is apparently moving heavily in pure extortion without even bothering to encrypt.

I’ll just leave this here

Ransomware is not about encrypting data. It is the _current_ implementation of a methodology that coerces the victim to act as an agent for the criminal (typically to aqcuire BTC.) Encrypting data just an implementation detail; it’s the “coerced agent” part that matters.

The general attitude of British prisoners to the Reich is absolutely hostile. They make fun of Germany, German institutions and leaders on all possible occasions. In Bayreuth, for instance, two British prisoners called themselves "Churchill" and "Roosevelt". As a foil they picked on a German worker who stuttered and called him "Hitler" as a joke. Some other British prisoners were singing a rude song to the tune of "Deutschland uber Alles" as they passed two high German officials in uniform. When one of these officials said "That's going a little too far, my friends", one of the prisoners who understood German called back "We're not your friends, we're British."

"The crowning insult was the disfigurement of a portrait of the Führer ... by a British prisoner who drew rude pictures over it.“
