Because every 8th grade civics course says the same thing. You punish Presidents with impeachment.

[–] mwguy@infosec.pub 1 points 1 month ago

It should be. But it's not. Dems needed to follow the Nixon playbook and have a long drawn out impeachment hearing. They punted on that and let him walk.

Trump already beat the charges.

Yes. As much as I hate it. It's not that big of a story. Either you know and realize Trump tried to commit a coup or you've bought the lie.

Until Dems start running on, "He he committed a coup" which they gave up on when they punted on his impeachment; it's not a story.

The conflict makes it a story.

Come and join me in Firefox and try out container tabs. Super powerful when you're trying to keep home and work identities seperate.

Is NOSTR any good? I've heard a bit about it but I haven't gotten my feet wet yet.

The goal should be to use whatever is most effective and efficient for yourself,

And if taught as they should be, that will be the keyboard.

Counting out 5*5 on your fingers works and might be the fastest way you've been taught to multiply, but that doesn't mean we should excuse schools not teaching times tables and how to use a caluclator.

It works well for casual conversation. But if you're trying to have a technical conversation it will fail on uncommon or custom words or phrases.

They also stopped teaching typing in schools. My younger family members never had an computer class or a typing class.

But instead, what about a truck with truck bed?

Slight tangent. But I've recently been pulling old home videos off of MiniDV tapes. And I've found that the ffmpeg dv1 decoder can correct several tape issues when re-encoding from dv1 to essentially any modern codec. So I've got like 3GB video files that look incredibly poor, but then I re-encode them into h264 files that look better than the original. It's baffling how well that works.

A former lawyer to Donald Trump has pleaded guilty in an election subversion case in the US state of Georgia.

Kenneth Chesebro is the third of 19 co-defendants to plead guilty in a deal with Fulton County prosecutors.

He is accused of putting forward a slate of fake pro-Trump electors in Georgia and other states to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election.

With Israel at war with Hamas, the Senate is moving urgently to fill key U.S. diplomatic posts throughout the Middle East — many of which have been sitting empty for months.

Most glaringly, the U.S. does not currently have an ambassador in Israel. That vacancy hobbles the Biden administration's ability to pursue a number of goals, from negotiating the release of U.S. hostages held by Hamas to easing the violence and preventing it from blossoming into a wider conflict.

It is "unprecedented" to have so many U.S. ambassador posts sit vacant for as long as they have this year, Farah Pandith, an adjunct senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, told NPR. ...

If you’d been quietly chasing down cryptographic bugs in a proprietary police radio system since 2021, but you’d had to wait until the second half of 2023 to go public with your research, how would you deal with the reveal?

You’d probably do what researchers at boutique Dutch cybersecurity consultancy Midnight Blue did: line up a world tour of conference appearances in the US, Germany and Denmark (Black Hat, Usenix, DEF CON, CCC and ISC), and turn your findings into a BWAIN.

The word BWAIN, if you haven’t seen it before, is our very own jocular acronym that’s short for Bug With An Impressive Name, typically with its own logo, PR-friendly website and custom domain name.

(One notorious BWAIN, named after a legendary musical instrument, Orpheus’s Lyre, even had a theme tune, albeit played on a ukulele.) 24/7 threat hunting, detection, and response delivered by an expert team as a fully-managed service. Learn More Introducing TETRA:BURST

This research is dubbed TETRA:BURST, with the letter “A” stylised to look like a shattered radio transmission mast.....
