  • In a revelation that has sent shockwaves through the nation, sources have confirmed that Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the September 11th attacks, was serving as the mayor of New York City at the time of the tragedy. Eyewitness accounts suggest that bin Laden, who had been seen attending city council meetings, was allegedly using his position to orchestrate the attacks while simultaneously promoting a series of controversial urban initiatives. This unprecedented twist has left many questioning how such a figure could have risen to power in one of the world’s most prominent cities.

    City officials are scrambling to address the implications of this startling news, with some calling for an immediate investigation into bin Laden’s political connections and the circumstances surrounding his election. Critics are demanding accountability, arguing that the city’s leadership failed to recognize the threat posed by bin Laden, who was reportedly seen mingling with constituents at local events. As New Yorkers grapple with the fallout from this revelation, the nation watches closely, wondering how a city once known for its liberal attitudes could have been led by a figure so deeply entwined in the very fabric of the tragedy that unfolded on that fateful day.


  • I have a framework laptop that I put together, really repairable so if something explodes the whole thing doesn’t become ewaste. But only do this if your use case requires somewhat modern hardware there’s a ton of like 10 dollar laptops on sale on ebay that are 10 years old and good for only web browsing or remote desktop and will run fine with an install of fedora atomic or whatever

    And yeah just put Linux on your current laptop it’ll run like a dream. Personally Ive got like 10 laptops around my place from family that didn’t want them and they all run great with fedora atomic. I prefer fedora atomic for these because updates don’t break if I don’t mess with them for a long time










  • The Pixel series with GrapheneOs is the only phone that cannot be cracked by Cellebrite which is what federal governments around the world use to break into your phone. All other suggestions are trash if you do anything that could be construed as illegal (if shit hits the fan the government will use any excuse to target you as a leftist). In fact, an empty profile on GrapheneOs on wifi is probably the most secure and user oriented way to use the internet period. Other options like Qubes require a lot of technical knowledge, GrapheneOs is very user friendly and hard to fuck up, especially if you stick to open source software.

    With the proper settings, FOSS apps, and avoiding google services you can double your battery life too. My pixel 9 lasts 5 days on a single charge. About half of any phones battery is used by Google services.

    My suggestions for using this phone: compartment non foss apps into a separate google services profile that closes on switch. Then install things like Tor Browser, foss messengers like element and molly, and orbot or mullvad vpn, to a secure profile with nothing else on it. Restrict mobile access on that secure profile and don’t receive sms on it. Then have a normal foss profile that you use daily. This is the most secure way to operate.



  • I actually read into this recently. The app is open source and they hardcoded the token needed to decrypt archived messages into the app. So you could just look at the source code and take the key and decode anything anyone that used the app said. This is a purposeful backdoor installed into this version of signal that completely borks its cryptography lmao

    Its also one of the only changes the app made to the source code so you can trivially look at the commit history for vulnerabilities and find it almost instantly.



  • I don’t know what your situation is, but I’ll explain how I reduced my migraines almost to nonexistence. It seems mine are related to three things: malnutrition, bowel movements, and spinal stress.

    My migraines typically would make me blind and they would last for days and give similar face, hand, and foot numbness, its truly exrcutiating and hard to pinpoint and it made it impossible to hold a job down. I only began to figure it out when my SO helped me keep track of things.

    An exercise regimen for strengthening my upper back muscles helped, as well as exercises for my neck. A lack of sodium seemed to trigger my migraines, so when I feel one coming on I chug a Gatorade along with my meds. Something about a large bowel movement also seemed to cause a nerve pinch that gives me similar crotch and leg pains as you desribed (like a cold burn), I’ve found the only way to deal with this is laxatives and a low fodmap diet to prevent nerve pressure on the lower spine.

    In general I have become very aware about even small pressures on my spine and constantly straighten it and unclinch the muscles around it. Core strength is very important for this.

    I also had malnutrition and diet issues, I was brutally thin. If I overexert myself or am careless I still get them. The pain has been greatly reduced when I do get them, I rarely become blind anymore.


  • Hot take: Shadowheart as the main character is the best choice because you don’t have to deal with her being an emo weirdo. Just respec into whatever class you want. Also you get better understanding of her backstory, and romancing Laezel or Karlach is extremely spicy. Also, to be the gothiest person alive you can go the evil route and romance Minthara.

    In terms of whose quips I enjoy most, its definitely Astarion. Hes so fucking gay, hes dripping with gay
