Holy crap! This client had a fake Microsoft Recovery screen show on startup 😳. Even came with a fake BitLocker screen afterward.

Looked almost legit, if you don’t know what to look for…

Imagine biting into your favorite "sugar-free" snack, confident you're making a healthier choice, only to discover you've been unknowingly consuming a controversial artificial sweetener in disguise.

@beardalaxy When you have a bunch of if-statements like this, it's probably better to have an array or dictionary of function pointers because the CPU can just go to the address of the first value of the array + the offset and then call the function based on the address of the function in the table. On the other hand, if-statements require the CPU to repeatedly calculate conditions which is much less efficient.

@kirby @RustyCrab I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as GNU, is in fact, Linux/GNU, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Linux plus GNU. GNU is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning OS made useful by the Linux kernel, comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the Linux system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Linux which is widely used today is often called “GNU”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Linux system, developed by the Linux Project. There really is a GNU, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The corelibs are an essential part of an operating system, but useless by themselves; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. GNU is normally used in combination with the Linux operating system: the whole system is basically Linux with GNU added, or Linux/GNU. All the so-called “GNU” distributions are really distributions of Linux/GNU.

So I found out there was a decompilation project for Harvest Moon 64 and whoever programmed the original game loved nested if/switch statements because there is a ton. Granted, the game is programmed in C, and I'm used to OOP, but I don't understand why they couldn't just use data tables and function pointers. It's almost as if YandereDev wrote this.

@wowaname @lewdthewides The list in question contains a lot of fediverse instances and projects from fedi users, so I assume that users from fedi have contributed to that list.

I think these email services get popular for hosting email for someone or something popular. What partially contributed to cock.li's popularity was briefly hosting 8chan's email addresses.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to be in New York this week for the 78th meeting of the United Nations General Assembly and the Summit of the Future amid increasing geopolitical instability around the world.
"Canada will have a leading role in making the world fairer and more prosperous," Trudeau said in a news release last week. "I look forward to working with other leaders to accelerate progress on our shared priorities and build a better future for everyone."

Three documents the UN is hoping will be adopted by 193 nations at a summit in 10 days lack transparency and use ambiguous language.

The ‘Pact for the Future’ dilutes the paramount importance of human rights. The ‘Declaration on Future Generations’ raises questions about who can legitimately represent the interests of hypothetical future generations. And the ‘Global Digital Compact’ is an attempt by the UN to place itself in the driver’s seat to manage and control the digital revolution for all nations.

With these three documents, the UN is pushing for centralised global governance with itself at the helm.

It is pretty well known that government agencies are withholding thousands of “protected” files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. As of 2023, 4,684 assassination records are still “fully or partially” withheld from the public.
