I was recently thinking, this recruitment drive must be heaven for the common proud boys brownshirt.
Who of them wouldn’t sign up, they get to harm immigrants, they get cover from the very top if they catch public attention, they get gear, and they might even get paid for it.

So then the bottom middle picture in this post is also probably shopped?

I think the one they used in the story is the canonical name, if I click their name above the comment it links me to a profile with the name they used in the story in the url.

Yeah, if media companies can torture consumers they will usually try to. See also the Sony Rootkit.
In that light it’s actually surprising that the Gameboys never had region locking.

If you’re a dual national, you already have two passports.
That assumption is mistaken, and where the issues likely come from in practise.

There’s tons of search focused ones, which is weird to me. If you want a normal layout with folders then I suggest you go with Lawnchair.

There is an artist around who spoofs the big app interfaces to make these even worse thought experiments. I’m guessing it’s one of his or hers. Unfortunately I don’t remember the name / handle.

- Comment on Trying to dualboot Linux Mint + Windows on a second external hard drive but Windows Setup doesn't let me install on the disk... 5 weeks ago:
Microsoft is being a dick. Booting from an external USB-attached SSD works fine once you work around the installer limitations.
When I did this I ended up basically partitioning the disk manually with diskpart and installing Windows manually using the command prompt. I used this blog post to guide me:
web.archive.org/…/install-windows-10-on-usb-exter…
But I remember I had some issue that made me start over… what the heck was it. Something like the modern Windows 10 image being larger than what the author had encountered. Ah - I think the issue was the WIM file was over 4GB and wouldn’t fit on the authors 4096 MB “Recovery Image” partition. So make that one larger (check the iso for the wim file’s size) if you plan to create a recovery partition.
Another bookmark I made at the time was this, I think it was mainly for the command listing the SKUs supported by the WIM file, but no guarantees, it’s been a while: gist.github.com/…/e8ce6306a038902df6e7a6d667544ac…
Good luck if you decide to try!
- Comment on Trying to dualboot Linux Mint + Windows on a second external hard drive but Windows Setup doesn't let me install on the disk... 5 weeks ago:
That’s for MBR partitioned disks, where they fight over the first sector of the disk which is used as the boot sector.
Computer models starting from around 2013 should support UEFI boot. If you boot in UEFI mode you use a GPT partitioned disk with an EFI System Partition. In there Windows does not overwrite grub. In mine for example grub was in the ESP under /EFI/fedora/ and Microsoft found the ESP and put its stuff in /EFI/Microsoft.
The worst I’ve experienced is that Windows puts the Windows Boot Manager back on top of the UEFI boot order, to fix that, I wrote a comment before, that I’ll just link here, if it’s really just the order you can also just change it back in the UEFI menu.
Another bad thing is that some laptop UEFIs, especially early ones are utterly broken. They ignore your boot order, or your entries in the UEFI boot manager, sometimes they just load the fallback path defined in the UEFI spec, which is \EFI\Boot\BOOTX64.efi, but that’s the OEMs fault. I’ve seen both Fedora and Microsoft write their loader to the fallback path. I’m not sure if they clobber the other ones if it exists already, because I never boot from that path, so I wouldn’t notice.

Or Swiss, it sounds very familiar. My French sucks. I did get DELF B2 level at the time, but damn do I struggle when I need to work in Lausanne with locals.

- Comment on PS5 ROM Keys Leaked: Sony’s Unpatchable Security Nightmare (2026) | The CyberSec Guru 1 month ago:
That was a rhetorical question after I pointed out the inconsistency: The author claimed they keys were for verification and then also said they were used to decrypt.
That’s most likely bullshit, and if it isn’t they should explain the unusual setup in detail instead of glossing over it.
- Comment on PS5 ROM Keys Leaked: Sony’s Unpatchable Security Nightmare (2026) | The CyberSec Guru 1 month ago:
Yeah agreed especially further down when it’s just randomly rehashing old history. It’s also mixing up decryption and verification even in the beginning of the article. First they write:
BootROM (Level 0): The CPU runs code burned into it at the factory. This code is immutable (cannot be changed). It uses the ROM Keys to verify the signature of the next loader.
Then just two paragraphs below:
The ROM Keys change everything. With these keys, hackers can decrypt the Level 1 Bootloader.
So which is it? Usually boot chains hash the next stage and compare it with a signed “known-good” hash they have stored, no encryption. Maybe this is different for the PS5 but then that would be noteworthy, not something you just assume readers to know.

Since the graphic is counting sales in units sold I guess free to download “live services” wouldn’t really appear.
Would be interesting to see the same counting revenues.

- Comment on Apparently your hobbies becomes less interesting if you're forced to do them all the time? Who knew? 2 months ago:
For me studying for my master’s was the more fun part than studying for my bachelor’s. The bachelor’s studies included a lot of obligatory subjects that were less interesting to me, or choices that didn’t include any fun options.
In the master’s studies we were free to specialize much more. There was lots of work, but it was interesting. Like building a small OS. Or reading the newest networking papers and discussing their merit. Or implementing congestion control for ourselves, and playing around with ideas on how to maximise its efficiency.
Now I’m a network engineer at an ISP and things are much more practice focused and I had to learn a ton that wasn’t taught at uni, or was taught to electrical engineers instead of me, to get into things, but it’s still fun and interesting.
I don’t know what the difference is, or how to get my outcome instead of the 4channers, but I just wanted to share an opposite anecdote.

- Comment on You wish you WERE never born, actually. Subjunctive mood. 2 months ago:
If you’re familiar with the pragmatic application of the subjunctive in your own language or others, that may help
When I tried using my dative and accusative case knowledge from German with the objective case “whom” it made me sound weird to the native English speakers I know (American, Australian, Northern English), who mostly stopped using “whom”. So in general I’d advise caution with this approach.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 months ago:
Some additional historical context, at the time where Timothy was going to minister, many pagan priestesses held gatherings where they would shout and show skin and attracted participants with sex and a show
That is hard to believe and sound more like a post hoc rationalisation. Did you get this context from a good source, or was it a partial one, like a christian minister?
