To be fair, this is more specific to the Gulf countries.

Think of it like this, you phone a hotel and ask if you can be connected to 'Jane'. Instead of the receptionist asking 'Jane Who'? - they start saying all Janes that are at the hotel for you to confirm which one. That's a security leak, because they just disclosed info you should not have access to.

​

It's not the perfect analogy, but SQL injection is kind of like that.

Sure, I am not even saying Russian. Ukraine has their own.

Iraq did not have any allied forces in the region. Iran was technically never militarily defeated, has much better sense of national pride than Iraqi soldiers had, (Iraq was carved out by the British), it has proxies around the ME and has been preparing for a possible US-invasion for 40 years. Not quite the same.

Wasn't some oligarch behind him as well?

Markdown supports static checklists, but org mode's toto's are fully interactive, Org-mode's support for embedding executable code is part of the 'standard', but bear in mind that the standard as of now is the reference Elisp implementation inside emacs. There's no standard as such beyond that.

Mandack

Org supports TODO lists, executable code samples and a lot more that markdown simply doesn't.

You can think of it as Markdown meets Python Notebook meets LaTeX, sort of.

NitroShare might be an option.

I have a serious question for Reddit. Why was the focus so much on Russia, given there's much stronger, concrete evidence of 'collusion' with the likes of KSA & Israel.

​

It seems to me that cold war era priming just made it easiest to point at the 'Russians' and this was never about solving actual cases of collusion.

Mandack

Thanks a lot for the pointers. I'll take a look and see where/if to go from there.

There are some basic laws of physics that you are violating by attempting to apply force against your leaning with something only on your back. Without a place for the force to come from it will be a false feeling that would cause you to fall more often not less.

Thanks for the input. I am aware that the force must come from somewhere. I was thinking about using some sort of motorized chain-belt that would move the individual pieces in response to the reading from the sensors, but I haven't tested anything yet.

I am talking about the OS and not the applications running on top of it

GNU is not running on top of Linux, it's running in conjunction with Linux. Linux wouldn't boot without GNU libc for example, we're not talking about an application like VLC here.

Mandack

RMS is not calling Linux GNU/Linux, he's calling Linux with the GNU userland GNU/Linux.

Linux with busybox would not be GNU/Linux.

Competition in the FOSS world fosters innovation, there's no guarantee those working on a competing product would work on the "single-one" if the competitor wasn't around.

To be honest, Lunduke himself pushes views that when he is criticised for, cries harassment.

Mandack

Just want to add my thanks.

Increase motion control sensitivity from 0 in game settings.

Does it improve when you disable aim assist?

The problem I have with this is that so far very weak evidence to support a sprawling Russian plot has been provided. There's been some ads and some regular corruption that Israel and Saudi Arabia do to a larger extent on daily basis and yet nobody talks much about, (certainly not the Israeli one).

Mandack

How does this square with the "Trump is Putin's boyfriend" theory?

Another of Putin's 4D chess moves, I assume?

Mandack

Yes, it happens consistently.

Mandack

I like how you forgot Israel in that list.
