I think it is more important to have a non-commercial tag/license added.
It says that it continued into the Biden era as well.
The military program started under former President Donald Trump and continued months into Joe Biden’s presidency, Reuters found – even after alarmed social media executives warned the new administration that the Pentagon had been trafficking in COVID misinformation. The Biden White House issued an edict in spring 2021 banning the anti-vax effort, which also disparaged vaccines produced by other rivals, and the Pentagon initiated an internal review, Reuters found.
Happy cakeday. And yeah deescalation requires both parties to open to de-arm not only one of them.
Honestly though the best case scenario of how this all ends doesn’t really look great to me.
Either Russia loses the war, the government destabilizes, a power vacuum is formed which causes a power shift in a way likely to lead to more aggressive action in the future.
Or Russia wins the war, eyes other countries after it settles into Ukraine, NATO/US need to respond or else it sends the wrong message to other countries allied with them, and we head for WW3
Edit: There is also the idea of a stalemate and this just becomes a continuous war that doesn’t really end, but honestly I can’t see that being stable long term.
I’d say that its a bit too early to say that their tech will always be behind (if only because they have access to a lot of critical resources and probably will have ways to copy tech from other companies) but I can agree that their military is definitely not as experienced as the US.
Doesn’t the US have AI driven aircraft now? I think it is a little bit late for them to be courting them.
Edit: grammar
I’d probably use it to terraform certain urban and suburban places to be more hospitable to wildlife and humans living together. Like guerilla gardening and banksy mixed together.
Funnily enough the person that made this video had a little controversy on the vape-o-nomics video when he was talking about how subscription services were bad but then immediately pivoted towards an ad read for a subscription service.
Eventually it was removed (without a comment talking about, it happened silently) but still this stuff reaches everyone eventually.
So the company was aware but I was wondering on whether it was public knowledge released today or it was released back then but no one paid attention.
Also the report says that they don’t believe it is a nation state actor because it doesn’t match with any known malicious clusters but it’s likely that countries have multiple unknown clusters they can test with if necessary.
I was more thinking about all the services that rely on internet access to function. Like most economic systems would basically crash or grind to a halt.
There are a lot of products that don’t really need to be connected to the internet to do their job but are being connected anyways and would get bricked if access to the internet didn’t work. For example internet connected security cameras that don’t have cables connecting to where the data is being stored would be shot as well.
I mean the extent of the damage is really dependent on how the malware was spread which we don’t know yet so still mostly speculation on how damaging it could be.
So the attack happened in October 2023 but it was only revealed to the public now? Or is it that it was public back then but people didn’t pay attention?
Also the part where they say it has only ever happened as a precursor to a military invasion sort makes me think that this attack was some nation state practicing or signalling what they would do if they were in active cyber warfare which would be bad for the world if people in the competing nations didn’t have internet access, even if it was only for a day or two.
Sounds more like anarchism than democracy.
I’d go for a SearXNG instance, since its a meta search engine, its gonna work unless all other search engines shut down.
Also nice benefit of being FOSS and of no charge.
I just read your profile and can’t believe you guys have been on lemmy for 3 years. What made you guys join before lemmy got popular?
Idk, but does it matter? it’s just a link.
I was thinking societally.
Ok, but what is your best case scenario of what you think comes after a collapse?
Your comment inspired me and I just finished moving over. So thx.
Relate it to something that they do care about and show how it negatively affects that.
I ask because the party that is in power is considered a party that comes from fascist roots.
Edit: So I’m guessing you don’t consider it as fascist because the government isn’t being run in an authoritarian way not necessarily because of what the party’s roots and politicians in that party believe.
