Looks like there are more things I need to start randomizing and injecting with noise.

I am literally so paranoid I regularly vary my keysteoke rhythms and explore polyrhytmic techniques to create variations. Not even joking.

Yeah someone trying to find attack spin conservatives can use.

I’m confused. Isn’t “collecting keystroke data” just an alarmist way to describe text entry?

If I implied I felt superior, I’m sorry. I meant to imply I want to help but it’s a 13-hour drive for me. I’ll do my best to deal with those I can here.

Dear Alberta, could you please deal with your racists and get your ridiculous theocracy out of office? We have to get ready for a real war.

So, from your knowledge of those APIs, this isn’t possible? I don’t need to develop a defensive protocol for it? I like to be comprehensive, especially with a potential (ideological and propaganda, if not literal) invasion from the new fascist state to my south, but if this is a low-level probability, I can put it way down my priority list.

[Citations needed] or it didn’t happen.

This is such a bullshit challenge. I often see it used to essentially bully someone into a side issue about citations. It’s a great way to avoid discussing the original issue.

I have knowledge (that I rarely share) that I am absolutely not going to cite, because I’m not jeopardising sources, or clearances, or violating my obligations to the official secrets act just to play someone’s status games.

If someone makes a claim, I am perfectly able to go find the relevant citations myself, if there are any. I am more interested in the structure and content of what they’re adding to the discussion.

How’s the weather in St. Petersburg? Or are you in Moscow, Тролль? Do you have heat at Bolshoy Kislovsky Pereulok? Or are you at Prospekt Novoyasenevskii, Building 23?

If you’re in Canada, I hope they’re at least paying you and you’re not doing their work for free.

Exactly. If you’re paying me from 8:00-5:00 I am starting at exactly 8:00. If my computer takes 5 minutes to boot, connect, etc., that starts happening at 8:00. If you want me online and responsive at 8:00, then you have to pay me for the boot time before 8:00. No pay, no work.

They can’t depreciate the assets and use them as a deduction if it doesn’t count as an office expense. That only qualifies if a threshhold minimum number of workers spend a threshhold minimum amount of time in the office.

Noob question, I guess: can someone explain to me what the purpose is in having “x86 and .NET payloads” and why that might be significant?

To be fair, most Americans don’t demonstrate independent thinking, regularly regurgitate entire phrases they’ve been fed without showing any cognitive understanding, and they also sometimes perform tasks useful to corporations.

Kudos on admitting it, and on at least providing a summary.

There are also issues in the summary. The national broadcasting corporation is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, or CBC, not NBC. And the national leader is not a Premier, it’s a Prime Minister. A provincial leader is referred to as Premier.

Those two significant errors lead me to doubt the quality of any of the information.
