First: It's funny, because it is happening to Russians

Second: It's fucking scary, because it can happen everywhere. Fuck cars that rely on digital services.

Shamelessly promoting the instance which is run by a buddy of mine:

BlackNeon.net

Looks like Cloudflare has some problems, I cannot access multiple sites...

I don't say it would MORALLY below him, quiet the contrary, but more from a skill level. Acting so obviously would be just amateurish.

And THIS is the problem. How long is PGP / GPG around? I have vivid (and fond) memories of a time in the early 00s when we did encryption parties inviting normal people to help them install GPG and teach them how to encrypt their emails. And people came to these events! We had an event in a community centre where we did over 200 installs on laptops of "average Joes / Janes" in a single day.

But somehow, interest in private communication fizzled out over the last decade or so.

Perhaps, if anything, i think the prompts for creating the song MAY be copyrightable.

I mean, the song is not BAD, but somewhat.. generic, "beige" i would call it. Something that can play in the background in a shopping centre.

Weeelll... back in the "good old days" of the GDR there was even machinery for unnoticeable opening and resealing envelopes to spy on the population...

Yup, i personally own various 32 bit machines that are completely usable in daily driving but the steady decline of supported programs to run on them is forcing them into more "retro computing" roles. Honestly, its a shame...
