Daily Tech News 1 February 2024

Top Story

Senate hearing with five social media CEOs was a missed opportunity. (The Verge)

A missed opportunity for what, they do not say.

But reading between the lines, apparently they mean it was a missed opportunity for the largest censorship and propaganda program in human history, so we can only ne glad they dropped the ball again.

Also, Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of Twitter, is utterly useless.

Tech News

Proposals to revive FTX as a working business have sunk because nobody was stupid enough to put any money into it. (The Guardian)

Proof that people can learn not to put their finger back in the fire if you first burn it off up to the elbow.
AMD has announced that it will be launching Zen 5 CPUs for desktops, laptops, and servers this year. (WCCFTech)

Sometime between July and December is all we know at this point.
IPFS just kind of doesn't work. (Neiman's Lab)

IPFS is intended to be a distributed filesystem such that even if the server originally hosting the file goes away - permanently - the content still persists out there on the net, potentially forever.

What happens in practice is often that even when the original server is still active and everything is working fine, you can't access the content, or it is out of date.

They are trying to solve a hard problem, true, but they're mostly just making things worse.
Could we be living in a simulation? (Ars Technica)

Well yes, but actually no.

She wears pearls and is utterly useless is my take. Watching Zuckerberg stand up and apologize to the families apparently harmed by social media was a shit show and detracted from the real nut that they companies apparently can't be sued for damages.

'Tis 50 F., damp (as usual) but clear here. I planned to sleep late-ish, as it's a day off from working out, and even locked the cats out of the bedroom. Still woke up early. Grrrr. (Wasn't that what AtC used to say? **grry hands*?)

46 Psalm 145-

A psalm of praise. One long note- but hopefull, I think -in my Bible says: this:

Sometimes our burdens seem more than we can beat, and we wonder how we can go on. David stood at this bleak intersection and meditated on the Lord, the great burden bearer, God is able to lift us up because of his greatness which is beyond our understanding. He remains near to those who call upon him, hears our cries and can rescue us. If you are bending under a burden and feel that you are about to fall, turn to God for help. He is ready to lift you up and bear your burden.

We get yet another glimpse into the world where our "leaders" didn't earn a thing, but instead are there because of something else.

Elrod down in Arab, Alabama knows you don't drive through Birmingham at night without knowing specifically where you're going. But wealthy SEC lady and her wealthy husband get in their turbocharged Porsche SUV (maybe Tesla, but probably not since they needed to go places) and drive into literally the worst part of the world, alone, because their phone told them it was okay.

Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world As it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right If I surrender to His Will; So that I may be reasonably happy in this life And supremely happy with Him Forever and ever in the next.

The second criteria is that the anti-regimes forces are enforced by mass-media and foreign influences...

The third criterion will be to be discussed in this paragraph. It will mention that that the revolution must not be ideological; it is much for the sake of better national integration, freedom, democracy and economic development and it must also be massive...."

They are a fusion of Information Warfare Ops, Psyops, with as much direction action as needed.

We use them to get "western*" friendly governments globally.

*read western as globohomo democrat

They have ran the playbook here since 2016.

173 Isn't the "color" in "color revolution" a reference to changing the colors of the country's flag to something.... different.

-

It's my understanding that it's rallying around a particular emblem/color.

Like black (lives matter).

Or a rainbow flag.

175 As mentioned above, the first criteria for color revolution to occur is the incumbent leader of the regime must be very unpopular and face the so-called lame-duck syndrome...

It's neat to think back to Trump's first two years with an (R) majority in both houses.

177 "As mentioned above, the first criteria for color revolution to occur is the incumbent leader of the regime must be very unpopular and face the so-called lame-duck syndrome...

The second criteria is that the anti-regimes forces are enforced by mass-media and foreign influences...

The third criterion will be to be discussed in this paragraph. It will mention that that the revolution must not be ideological; it is much for the sake of better national integration, freedom, democracy and economic development and it must also be massive...."

178 The Colour revolutions were a series of often non-violent protests and accompanying changes of government and society that took place in post-Soviet states and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the early 21st century. The aim of the colour revolutions was to establish Western-style liberal democracy in those countries and eliminate corruption.

So I guess we are under a black and white revolution.

I mean one of my favorite forensic gambits is reductio ad absurdum, the problem is the people are choosing the absurdum without fail.

I made a four pound roast the other day with red wine and Worcester sauce in the sous vide. So good. White wine I use with flounder. Wine is good, even if you don't drink it it adds a lot of subtle flavors.

185 A “Color Revolution” in this context refers to a specific type of coordinated attack that the United States government has been known to deploy against foreign regimes, particularly in Eastern Europe deemed to be “authoritarian” and hostile to American interests. Rather than using a direct military intervention to effect regime change as in Iraq, Color Revolutions attack a foreign regime by contesting its electoral legitimacy, organizing mass protests and acts of civil disobedience, and leveraging media contacts to ensure favorable coverage to their agenda in the Western press.

This combination of tactics used in so-called Color Revolutions did not come from nowhere. Before Norm Eisen came Gene Sharp—originator and Godfather of the Color Revolution model that has been a staple of US Government operations externally (and now internally) for decades. Before Norm Eisen’s “Playbook” there was Gene Sharp’s classic “From Dictatorship to Democracy,” which might be justly described as the Bible of the Color Revolution. . . . http://tinyurl.com/3h4k2cyx

188 91 Under current law, illegal immigrants who have children born in the U.S. (and many do) may claim cash welfare benefits from the ACTC. The committee bill would expand these cash welfare payments for millions of current illegal aliens and millions more who enter the country in the future—exacerbating a design flaw in the program.

*exploiting* a design flaw in the program?
