How the fuck is this legal??

Like, could you just invert all the bits in a block of data and turn it into nonsense?

Or shift/rotate bits, so 10000101 would become 00001011, rather than using an encryption function.

It would be easy to break if you just figured out which bit operations were made, but it's a wierd thing to do so.. would it be obvious at all that it was such a simple encryption method from the raw data?

Just had that thought, it sounds like a 'security through obscurity' measure.

Oh shit.

“We have only started striking Hamas,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. “What we will do to our enemies in the coming days will reverberate with them for generations.”

@TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee was right, it's turning into the shitshow.

I have to post this on my phone

Logged out, logged in again, cannot get web pages. Can ping to ips, cannot resolve names with ping. Can resolve names with nslookup. Browsing doesn't work obviously but I can get to remote ips like repo locations.

???

REALLY seems like DNS but DNS is working with nslookup and I can change the nameserver in etc/resolv.conf and see nslookup using different nameserver but still no dice when using ping/browser

Any ideas??

"Interest in Kiwi homes from the United Arab Emirates has increased sharply ​ in the weeks following National’s proposal to lift the foreign buyers ban on high-end homes"

National was going to allow foreign investment into the housing market??? Yeah, that's really going to help with our crises. I get it's only 'high-end homes' but more buyers inevitably means less supply.

Just some lighter news to break up the doom a bit

I remember playing with 3D Movie Maker extensively. Me and my mate would make shitty movies usually ripping off James Bond or Indiana Jones.

I also used the other McZee programs, Creative Writer and Fine Artist, which were basically a fancy text editor and a fancy paint program.

It feels like we don't have anything like that today, there doesn't seem to be this type of creative game out there. I would have expected 3D Movie Maker to have unending sequels, like the one with Nickelodeon, getting more advanced with each decades pop characters, but it just stopped.

I guess I'm looking for kid-friendly versions of business applications.

Like Creative Writer is Word for kids, Fine Artist is Photoshop for kids, 3DMM is Maya/Blender for kids…

Just to clarify, I'm talking about thousands of torrents across hundreds of different directories.

I decided I would actually take a scroll through hexbear to see how their LGBT community was getting on, since that seems to be the largest and the LGBT communities I have access to are sadly lacking in activity.

I checked out their main page and read a few posts. There's just something that irks me about people glorifying Mao who was numerically worse than Hitler.

@Dave@lemmy.nz you made the right choice.
