It wouldn't be the first project which gets adopted by the community. The license certainly allows for it.

Why accept PR's in this case, if the maintainers themselves can ask their favorite LLM to implement a feature/fix an issue?

Wanna hear my theory? The FSB employs trolls to try undermine anyone who is critical of the great Russian regime by posting stupid conspiracy theories online. They often have to create new accounts, because old ones get banned quickly and frequently.

3 people, 2 of whom have accounts created just today for this thread, post something negatve towards Bellingcat without any proof. Crazy coincidence.

> but Bellingcat is of course funded by the National Endowment for Democracy ...

Spooky! No need to be coy, say what you are implying.

Additionally, do you have a source that they ARE being funded solely by NED (which is currently impossible anyway) and didn't just receive some funding that one time? Not sure what advantage they gain being such an obvious "CIA front", but I'm also not playing 5D chess.

You could see whether kas[0] could help you there. It fixes some of the manual steps, while adding tons of goodies.

If you're lucky, you might get your chance to live in Thiel's and Ellison's techbro utopia. Make sure to tell us how great it is to be subjected to people with no accountability, but all of the power over every aspect of your life.

> So it's OK to hide the mess, by throwing everything from the living room into the closet, I guess?

Yes? This is literally how every human in the world does it. You put your things, according to catrgories, into their respective room/cabinet. If somebody asks you where your sweaters are, you don't say "just search the ground", you say " in the closet".

Same thing here. You don't have to guess where files are, you know by convention.

Didn't we have quite a few scandals involving LE saving and sharing media as well? Doesn't make it much better, you'll just have a bigger pool of people looking at the unencrypted chats.

I think a better solution would be filters which run only locally and can block problematic messages, as well as alarm platform provider/LE/parents. E2E still works, but you have some safety as well.

> Uh what!? About every single Linux distro has .iso files available.

That doesn't really mean much. The point is that there's practically only disadvantages to ISOs and using image files instead would make more sense nowadays.

Which is of course the Russian's most unbiased news source.

It's a read-only peer with a huge disk which is always on and syncs changes across all devices continuesly. This way you can safely change the same file across all devices, without them having to be online simultaneously.

It helps a lot if you have a third machine, which runs 24/7. Haven't had any sync conflicts in ages.

How do you handle multiple projects at the same time, with a tiling window manager? The nice thing about the terminal is the possibility of having layouts, tabs and so on. Or using tmux/zellij with a terminal that doesn't support these more advanced features.

It's a setting you can find in the advanced tab of devices.

In Germany there's a company renting those (and other VR headsets, consoles, etc.) out. It's not super expensive. Maybe there's something similar where you are? A month for you to test it in the comforts of your own home might be better than 5 minutes in some shop.

Depends on how the server was setup. Ubuntu has offered importing public keys from github for quite a while in its installer. If you're using terraform/ansible/some other IaC tool, adding a key is probably just 1-2 lines of code. Some OS, like Guix or NixOS, also allow you to define them in a config file. Worst case you can just do something like `curl -L github.com/username.keys >> .ssh/authorized_keys`.

It's not a civil war, it's a war started by Russia 8 years ago. It's a war Russian military has been leading and participating in from the very beginning. This was sufficiently documented in the past, don't repeat Kremlin talking points.

Didn't all of humanity at some point? Ukraine being a more recent example. And here we are, living in mostly free and democratic countries. Weird how that happened.
