There’s more information about the components of this system here:

There really isn’t much to this Holesail project - it’s a little convenience wrapper around Hyper DHT and that’s a part of this Pear project it seems. That site has a list of the various components and links to each one’s GitHub.

Pear looks like an interesting project but I haven’t looked through the details of how it works.

Apparently it’s a suspended sentence and they are not in custody, so no prison time will happen. Just business as usual for the exploiters.

Great that they’re using the GPLv3 license too.

KDE Plasma is so much more snappy and functional than Windows. Linux has lots of good options.

They’re letting one run for President too.

It is the first time that no money will be allocated for arts and culture programs by the state.

Republicans are well on the way to building their dream theocratic wasteland.

It says something about the modern world that some of us read the headline and thought, “Oh, have the Nazis reached that stage already?”

It’s surprising how often “pro-life” people turn out to be pro-choice when pressed a little on the realities of people’s lives. They seem to maintain the pro-life stance only through a refusal to think about difficult situations - which makes no sense since the whole debate is precisely about difficult situations.

And they commonly just don’t seem to understand what pro-choice means. They think it means being someone who just loves abortions and thinks they’re great and unproblematic and everyone should get one. They don’t realize there are no such people, because they’ve never actually asked and listened, or given it any thought.

“We will not tolerate individuals using masks to evade responsibility for criminal or threatening behavior,” Hochul said on Thursday, adding that “on a subway, people should not be able to hide behind a mask to commit crimes”.

Maybe she should consider addressing the committing crimes part instead of the wearing masks part.

That’s unfair. Conservatism is also about personal selfishness.

The only moral abortion is my abortion

Well this one depends on negative mass, which is, as far as I know, no less weird and speculative than dark matter.

Asked if the men in the water had shown any signs of hostility toward Israeli forces, he told CBS News: “They were fishermen. They were fishing.”

When asked about the incident, which Elder first reported in an Instagram post, the Israel Defense Forces asked for an exact location and said it was looking into the claim.

Another day, another war crime. I can’t imagine the anger and helplessness these families must feel, seeing these assholes kill their loved ones for no reason other than their genocidal hatred and enjoyment of killing.

A tiny amount for such a large corporation. The only message this sends to them is that it’s worth employing death squads.

The UK under the Tories is all in on support for the genocide. And Keir Starmer isn’t one to rock the boat. His priority seems to be stamping out anything good in the Labour Party.

I think the main take on this is to learn the lesson that it is not safe to install random software you come across online. Is this lesson new, though?

I think people often have a vaguely formed assumption that plugins are somehow sandboxed and less dangerous. But that all depends on the software hosting the plugin. There was a recent issue with a KDE theme wiping a user’s files which brought this to light. We can’t assume plugins or themes are any less dangerous than random executables.

Whose idea was it to appoint Supreme Court justices for life? That seems like asking for trouble.

Presumably they factored Hamas not willingly handing over the hostages into their planning. If their contingency plan for meeting resistance was just to bomb areas full of civilians until they could get out, it still shows a lack of regard for Palestinian lives.

All malicious extensions detected by the researchers were responsibly reported to Microsoft for removal. However, as of writing this, the vast majority remains available for download via the VSCode Marketplace.

Ah, the Microsoft tradition of always having the wrong priorities.
