I mean, it's a part of his plea deal, so I felt of was relevant. Additionally, all the Wikileaks published data was old. However, it's government secretes, so we'd either have to wait a few decades for the Fed to release it, like with MK Ultra information, or have it published much sooner by Wikileaks. Regardless, hopefully if there is any unpublished information it was handed over by Julian to associates outside of Wikileaks so they could release it before the Fed is forced to do it.
The facts are it's an oligopoly which is rapidly moving towards pairing this with totalitarianism. Propaganda is so pronounced today that finding actual news is a chore, and if shared it's labeled as "fake news". A study was recently published demonstrating political moves are made without any care for how it impacts the masses. It's tough to see the decline happen in real time while most deny it's occurrence. Most are too focused on owning others in the working class with alternative ideals.
But in the U.S., the natural beauty is phenomenal. Yet it's being traded to allow conglomerates to squeeze more profit out of dwindling resources. If something doesn't change the course soon, this answer potentially could land me in prison in the near future. Which is counter to what the country was supposedly established to prevent. It's rough in many aspects, yet not entirely hopeless, at least as of this moment.
Right!! I'd have to imagine an AI used for patient health data will be quite difficult to obtain HIPPA approval. Then again, HIPPA seems more like a concept to make patients feel more comfortable about the amount of data doctors offices have on them more recently.

Federal prosecutors have recommended that the U.S. Department of Justice criminally charge Boeing for violating a 2021 settlement over two fatal crashes of the aerospace giant’s troubled 737 MAX jetliners.
As Reutersreported Monday:
In May, officials determined the company breached a 2021 agreement that had shielded Boeing from a criminal charge of conspiracy to commit fraud arising from two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019 involving the 737 MAX jet. Under the 2021 deal, the Justice Department agreed not to prosecute Boeing over allegations it defrauded the Federal Aviation Administration so long as the company overhauled its compliance practices and submitted regular reports. Boeing also agreed to pay $2.5 billion to settle the investigation.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) said Boeing violated the settlement by “failing to design, implement, and enforce a compliance and ethics program to prevent and detect violations of the U.S. fraud laws throughout its operations.”
Reuters: US prosecutors recommend DOJ to criminally charge Boeing. Finally!
So sick of the lack of accountability in corporate America.
Apparently, you have to kill hundreds of people before they even start to think about consequences.https://t.co/KLOxCbyKUT — Nick Pinkston 🏭 🏗️ 🏙️ 🌐 ⏭ (@NickPinkston) June 24, 2024
Boeing declined to comment on the Reuters report. Referring to the settlement, the company said last month that “we believe that we have honored the terms of that agreement.”
The DOJ has until July 7 to decide whether to prosecute Boeing officials.
News of the prosecutors’ recommendation came days after The New York Times reported that the DOJ is considering letting Boeing avoid prosecution for violating the terms of the 2021 settlement. According to the Times, the department is weighing a negotiated resolution under which the company takes a plea deal or deferred prosecution agreement (DPA)—which would impose monitoring and compliance terms—in lieu of a trial fraught with uncertainties.

Boeing entered into a DPA after 737 MAX jets crashed, killing hundreds of people. On October 29, 2018, Lion Air Flight JT610, a nearly new 737 MAX 8, crashed into the Java Sea shortly after taking off from Jakarta, Indonesia, killing all 189 passengers and crew on board. Indonesian investigators subsequently concluded that a faulty sensor caused the plane’s Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) to continually tilt the aircraft downward.
On March 10, 2019, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, also a MAX 8, crashed into a field six minutes after taking off from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia en route to Nairobi, Kenya. All 157 people aboard were killed. Boeing acknowledged that a MCAS-related software error caused the crash and vowed to “prevent erroneous data from causing MCAS activation.”
As Boeing whistleblowers—who claim they’ve been retaliated against—and outside aviation safety experts revealed what consumer safety advocate Ralph Nader described as “serial criminal negligence” in the company’s handling of the crisis, public pressure urging the government to ground all 737 MAX planes increased. Then-Republican U.S. President Donald Trump finally did so on March 13, 2019 amid a worldwide wave of groundings that lasted until December 2020 in the United States and longer in some countries.
Yet problems persisted. Earlier this year, a door plug flew off a 737 MAX 9 during an Alaska Airlines flight, injuring passengers and forcing an emergency landing. The incident also prompted a temporary MAX 9 grounding and a DOJ criminal probe. The FAA found “multiple instances” in which Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems—a parts supplier—”allegedly failed to comply with manufacturing quality control requirements.” The agency also noted “noncompliance issues in Boeing’s manufacturing process control, parts handling and storage, and product control.”
Last week, relatives of the 737 MAX 8 crash victims urged federal prosecutors to file criminal charges against Boeing and fine the company $25 billion.
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.)—a former federal prosecutor and state attorney general—said last week at a hearing on Boeing’s broken safety culture that “the evidence is near-overwhelming to justify” DOJ prosecution.
“Boeing needs to stop thinking about the next earnings call and start thinking about the next generation,” Blumenthal said, echoing allegations that the company prioritizes profit over safety.

Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun said at the hearing that he is “proud of every action” his company has taken in response to the 737 MAX safety crisis. Calhoun announced in March that he would step down as CEO at the end of the year—a move critics called insufficient if there is no criminal accountability.
Monday’s reporting followed news that two NASA astronauts who left Earth aboard Boeing’s Starliner are stranded on the International Space Station after engineers found numerous problems with the reusable capsule. Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were scheduled to return to Earth on June 13 after a week aboard the ISS. This is the third time their return home has been delayed. The Starliner is docked to the ISS’ Harmony module and has just 45 days of docking time left before the window for a safe return closes.

Since tendons connect bone to muscle, they have some blood flow and can possibly heal. But ligaments connect bone to bone, so there is no blood flow and they cannot heal themselves. Thus tendon tears have a greater likelihood of healing without intervention. But the shoulder is a daily driver, and repairs can make life way easier, especially with a shoulder to chest tendon like the supraspinatus!
Not sources I know at all, just trying to provide something that an individual who thinks Scheerpost is Russian propaganda for some illogical reason will give more validity. All mainstream propaganda spins the story to paint the US as the hero, which alone should make you highly curious of the other side to the story.
But based on your user name, it makes way more sense a primative eukaryotic lifeform struggles to decipher the massive bias from mainstream news sources these days lol.
Ok, so you're super critical only to concepts which oppose the side of the story you believe to be true? Have you ever applied this same level of scrutiny to the information you approve of? Until this takes place, you can't logically be confident in your stance whatsoever. But, do whatever makes you happy, I won't argue against it. Yet it's ridiculous to write off anything in opposition just cause it's not as you understand it.
Here's the sources you more or less asked for, I made sure it's from mainstream sources seeing as you're opposed to independent media for whatever reason.
UK Government coving Ukraine in 2014: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9476/
Here's a NewYorker article covering it too: https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/why-john-mearsheimer-blames-the-us-for-the-crisis-in-ukraine
Pretty similar to the US invasion of Ukraine in 2014 where the President left in desperation to prevent his murder. Two wrongs definitely don't make a right, but after the US overthrew the country's government they should have understood they were going to encounter retaliation at some point.
The only real option worthwhile is to get nerdy and play the same game. Change up how and what you connect online as well as running security and privacy based open source firmware + software on your devices. Aside from that, protesting would be another option with some teeth too!
I have yet to see it, but in addition to the lackluster reddit thread, here are the IMDB reviews: https://imdb.com/title/tt16283824/reviews
While IMDB has rated a number of films/shows I love well lower than I feel they should be, all in all the scores tend to be a pretty good indicator. They rated it 7/10 with some folks ranting and raving about it, while others say the show tried to fit too much into it. Hope this is at least somewhat helpful.
In Fedora? I've had one or two issues with the updater if I postponed the updates for a while, yet sudo dnf update always fixed the issue. I feel like thats step one for terminal use really. It's also nice when it's done this way you typically don't need to reboot, unless it's kernel or driver updates.
I feel like Mint is the move if you never want to utilize the terminal. But while it can be intimidating initially, after using it, you'll grow to love it. Truly makes life way easier. I learned by first finding threads on my issues to copy and paste commands. After doing that enough you'll gain an understanding of the main commands pretty quick. Fedora is a great starter in my mind, as you can do everything through the GUI when first starting, but unlike Mint, you can still get nerdy with the terminal when you feel up to it. Using a VM is a solid option to learn the terminal without any risk, worst case just delete the VM and make another. But you'd have to mess up pretty thoroughly to need to do that in my experience. Fedora, or Nobara which is a gaming and media centric fork of Fedora, are amazing due to the ability to run great out of the box plus being able to dial in anything you want to alter for your needs down the road. Fedora's Software center allows you to add flatpak and snap packages, so it'll all be in one place. Fedora 40 makes NVIDIA drivers pretty easy to deal with too. But this is just my two cents, I'm curious to see what others recommend for you.

Cornel West is the best option available, the united states NEEDS an intellectual, philosopher, and social critic in office. It's been an exceptional shit show more recently. Voting in someone with the ability to actually contemplate the consequences of their actions and not just listen to those with the most money is severely needed to get back on the path to being a functional country.
Toxoplasmosis is very intriguing, it has actually evolved alongside cats and humans for ages. While anyone with an immunodeficiency is at higher risk of severe side effects, like with any pathogen, it's also associated with taking bigger risk. This is why a ton of motorcyclists and casino regulars test positive for the parasite. But when we were hunter gatherers, the infection was associated with bringing home bigger kills, which helped the entire tribe. Due to this, toxoplasmosis infections had sizable benefits and those with the infection often had positions of power in tribes!

Remember when Biden condemned the brutal police response against the BlackLivesMatter protest? That's when Trump was in office and Biden was running against him. He stated there must be a right to assembly and freedom of speech. Yet when he's put in a similar situation, it's no different. The US is accelerating their decline to further line the pockets of the ruling class. It's legitimately horrendous!
Aegis is my absolute favorite for 2FA's, give it a try for sure. Pretty sure it's only available on Android unfortunately though.
So Meta, Twitter, Snapchat and all the others who've redefined what data collection looks like and keep folks self centered is fine? The only reason the US is throwing this fit is because they can't access the collected data like they can with US based data brokers, I mean social media. The key aspect of this ban revolves around freedom of speach more than anything else.
If you're talking OpenWRT, then I totally agree. But something like Asus Merlin is a relatively easy change and still provides additional protection. While part of the Asus code is closed-source, most is open-sourced and Asus has implemented improvements developed by the Merlin team. This shows Merlin knows what they're doing and are trustworthy too.
Running as much open-sourced privacy oriented software as possible. This includes on computers, routers, and phones. While this is 100% a marathon, not just a quick change, it's well worth the time. Utilizing an encrypted DNS would be another solid move. NextDNS is a fantastic choice as it has a free option which still provides granular control of what is filtered online. A trusted VPN mixing your internet traffic with others is great, but like you said, it's not a magic bullet whatsoever.
