The ones they dropped into the ocean causing people to drown trying to retrieve them or the ones they dropped on top of crowds of people, crushing them?
The fact that Israel suggested the pier to begin with should have tipped everyone off. The lack of aid getting into Gaza is not due to a logistical problem, you can’t solve it through haphazardly slapped together shipping infrastructure. Especially when that infrastructure already existed; does anyone think Gaza didn’t already have a suitable pier? Even if they didn’t there’s tons of aid sitting at the southern border behind lines of Israeli settlers protesting it.
Yeah, you can sometimes redress grievances through collective action, but don’t ever expect these people to be held accountable without that. That’s not what the “justice” system is for.
If the people who sacrifice others for their own gain are ever held to account then they will simply dismantle the law and remove any pretense of equality.
I’m not even convinced that’s true when it comes to this issue. Trump, at least, narcissistically cares about what people think of him enough that he could maybe be swayed by public opinion. Biden has been a hardline Zionist his entire career and sees backing Israel to the hilt despite the public outcry as a moral imperative.
Besides, how do you get worse than eagerly aiding a genocide?
They did it to try to broaden the conflict in hopes of drawing in direct military support from their western allies.
I imagine if this attacker wasn’t in a rush to get the backdoor into the upcoming Debian and Fedora stable releases he would have been able to notice and correct the increased CPU usage tell and remain undetected.
I think ideas about prevention should be more concerned with the social engineering aspect of this attack. The code itself is certainly cleverly hidden, but any bad actor who gains the kind of access as Jia did could likely pull off something similar without duplicating their specific method or technique.

the only additional thing i’ve seen noted is a possibilty that they were using Arch based on investigation of the tarball that they provided to distro maintainers
Can someone willing to subject themselves to 60 Minutes tell me if they address the IC findings that debunked this?
I don’t foresee anyone with the kind of data needed to do more investigation releasing it to the public, so I doubt we’re going to be getting any satisfying answers to this. Microsoft may have an internal team combing through github logs, but if they find anything they’re unlikely to be sharing it with anyone but law enforcement agencies.
we know about the singapore VPN because they connected to IRC on libera chat with it. the only reason I can think people would believe they’re from hong kong is because of the pseudonym they used, but it’s not like that proves anything.
see link posted in another user’s reply: https://boehs.org/node/everything-i-know-about-the-xz-backdoor#irc
he was using a singapore VPN and had access to multiple sockpuppets. we know literally nothing else about them and anything you’ve heard to the contrary is baseless rumor.
leading theory is that it was a state-sponsored actor, but frankly even that much is speculation and which state is still way up in the air.
if you feel comfortable mucking about in your BIOS, disabling TPM will pretty much guarantee they don’t spring 11 on you. they are really dead set on that requirement for some reason.
nothing on this page mentions anything about Ozempic, semaglutide, or the amounts of funding received. the closest thing is a list of current diabetes research projects with, again, no amounts listed and no clear relation to ozempic.
When questioned about this report Biden admin state dept spokesperson Matthew Miller accused its author of antisemitism and disregarded the accusation of genocide without justification.
Seems like the accusation of antisemitism stems from a claim she made that there is a strong Jewish lobby in America, and from mocking Macrons statement that Oct 7 was the greatest antisemitic incident “this century”, a century shared with WW2. I suppose one could argue he meant the century starting from 2000 but it feels odd to evoke a hundred year period when you’re referring to less than a quarter of that.
If only the AI shit being crammed down our throats included confidence scores
