but why should/would they give up any uranium, especially after the US has just demonstrated that they can't actually take it from them?

i generally agree, although for some reCaptcha-using websites there actually aren't alternatives. eg many governments, healthcare providers, public utilities, etc are using it :(

A Motorola phone soon shipping with GrapheneOS isn't just a rumor but it doesn't help with the problem of Google making their very popular robot detection service classify deGoogled Android users as non-human.

Dirty Frag: Universal Linux LPE - allows any unprivileged local user to gain root access on a vulnerable Linux system - no patch available

Jump

Arthur Besse @lemmy.ml 2w ago

that kernel release (which most distros have still not shipped yet) fixes only one of the two vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-43284); afaik even upstream still doesn't have a patch for the second one (CVE-2026-43500) at this time.

(for people relying on Linux privilege separation, here are mitigation instructions.)

Why does songs from non-English countries have random English words? Can you imagine if English songs randomly have Chinese words?

Jump

Arthur Besse @lemmy.ml 2w ago

Okay it’s not fake-fake, just so awful you need a PhD in Chinese Language to understand it

You may enjoy fireflychinese.com: Translating the Chinese in Joss Whedon's Firefly and Serenity. With video clips of each scene, notes on word usage, and in-depth (over)analysis of Malcolm Reynolds's heroic quest to butcher the Chinese language—one curse at a time.

As someone helpfully explained to you in that thread:

You’re trying to explain how Israelis’ indifference to Palestinian suffering is valid

also btw my participation in this sub-thread began by replying to your challenging someone to find examples of you "defending the right" and... yeah, the above-linked thread is obvs one of them

the most recent comment you had deleted was for violating rule 1 of !leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

before that it was for racism, genocide apologia, etc etc.

i recommend reading your own modlog and reflecting on it.

it's been well over 6 months since anyone from .ml removed one of your comments; your bigotry lately has instead been getting removed by mods from many other places (including several from your own instance).

i'm an admin so i can see the identities behind mod actions.

(fwiw i just checked and i see that i have personally never moderated you, but i concur with other .ml mods' previous decisions to do so.)
