When you're discussing your own OPSEC (Operational Security for those unaware), you have to evaluate and determine your personal threat profile. Generally speaking, you need to determine what risks you're willing to accept, what risks you're willing to mitigate, and what risks you will not tolerate. There's a whole field of IT dedicated to this but the general idea is for you to understand that there is no perfect solution and everything is a trade off.

There is an inherent risk to downloading pirated software, especially software that you use for private activities (e.g. finances, etc.). With today's landscape of mining crypto, I'd go so far as to say almost any pirated software is at risk of this.

I would agree that generally playing media files is relatively low risk (though there was a vulnerability I read about a few years back of a zip-type attack. The details allude me at the moment).

But for executables, you basically have two options:

• spin up a VM to host your executable, sandboxing it from everything else.
• trust the people who are providing the executable and run it on your computer

Personally, I avoid pirated executables. More often than not I can find a similar open source product that I can download. My risk tolerance is not only low, but I don't see the benefits of using a particular company's software especially if an open source is available.

Not forcing the south to pay for reconstruction and not executing traitors was the worst decision we've ever made.

This probably the most plausible explanation. We put antibiotics in just about everything. We're breeding these super bacteria ourselves.

Jesus was arrested by the Romans, at the behest of the Jewish leaders, for preaching that they (the Jewish leaders) were not preaching the Torah properly and being more popular than them.

The crowd was getting more and more angry but Pontius Pilot, the ruler of the precinct they were in, couldn't find anything wrong with Jesus. He actually believed Jesus when he said that he was the Son of God. (Aside: there is discussion as to whether Pilot was a believer but let's not dive into that.)

There was a tradition by the Romans to let go of a prisoner, kind of like a pardon. Pilot didn't want to send Jesus, a peaceful man by his own judgement, to die. So he got Barrabas, a convicted thief, out of jail and presented both of them to the people to "vote" on which he should let go.

The crowd chose Barrabas.

안녕!!

For now.

I hate how "Maybe later" has replaced "No. Don't ask me again."

Enshitification at its best.

You KNOW they are going to "tip" you with one of those gospel tracts that look like a folded $100 bill.

I've been seriously reconsidering my vacation to Mexico scheduled for the second half of this year. I'm Asian and I have no doubt that I will be "randomly selected" to go through extra screening.

I was thinking about all the DOGE cuts recently and made me wonder: have they hit USPTO?

I suspect that if Elon hit this, he'd likely get kicked in the nuts from all the businesses that rely on it to protect their profits.

RFK, and the people that worship him, would rather have a dead child than a child with autism.

That's how fucked up they are.

This isn't about parental choice. This is about oppression.
