Well that's quite the wall of text.
Talk about lacking nuance. You can criticize NATO for plenty, but calling it fascist while ignoring the rise of literal Russian style fascism is telling. You seem to simply use fascism as a synonym for bad without even understanding what it is. Therefore everything you don't like (i.e. anything western) is automatically labeled fascist, and anything that is actual literal fascism but anti-west is somehow not fascism.
The war isn't NATO vs Russia, it's Ukraine vs Russia. Just because NATO can gain from a weakened Russia doesn't mean they are responsible for the war or are responsible for dragging it on. Nobody wanted this war, this is purely Russia's doing. Just because Ukraine has some marginal neo-nazi groups doesn't mean the country is run by Nazis.
The great irony is you're so caught up in this baseless rhetoric believing that you're fighting fascists that you end up supporting a textbook fascist government engaging in the very same imperial conquest that you accuse the west of.
Woah there Z Grover. You do realize not all fascists are Nazis, right?
Russia is the lesser evil huh? Kinda sounds like you do like them, otherwise I can't imagine the mental gymnastics you'd have to do to support them in conquering Ukraine.
You're not the left. The left hates you. You're just bloodthirsty edgelords being astroturfed by Russian paid trolls.
You're not at all anti-war either, you just want Russia to win the war. You're the person watching George Floyd getting choked to death here and says "well it's his fault for resisting."
The only thing separating you from actual fascists is username pronouns.
Hmm, seems like you're arguing in good faith.
I never said those are the only two choices, but every peace deal that Russia has come to the table with either includes ceding large amounts of territory or giving up control over their government. Do you think the Ukrainian people would find any of that acceptable after everything Russia has put them through?
Sounds an awful lot like you just want fascist Russia to conquer Ukraine.
🙄 Yes, we all know Russia started a thinly veiled proxy war in 2014 when the Ukrainian people voted in favor of a western friendly government, and then Russia escalated it into a full blown war when that wasn't getting them the influence over Ukraine that they wanted.
What I don't understand, though, is why a bunch of self proclaimed communists are so in favor of expanding the global influence of a post-fascist government. Aren't communists supposed to be diametrically opposed to fascism? Their wartime Z symbol is essentially a half drawn swastika, like how do you not see it?
Being in favor of China, as they are at least communists in rhetoric, I get. But really, modern day Russia? Marx would be ashamed.
That all depends on what you'd consider to be acceptable terms of a peace deal. Is it a deal that rewards the aggressors for their aggression?
If Russia wanted to end the war so bad they could just leave. Ukraine doesn't have that option.
Russia invaded Ukraine to gain new territory. If you want the war to end as it stands now, then you're okay with giving up land and the people they've kidnapped from it to a fascist regime in a war of aggression. That's supporting a fascist government.
You guys seem to support fasciZt governments.
Inb4 America/Ukraine are the real fascists.
And yet somehow the head office with total power is hereditary just like a monarchy.
Some are, but not all. The point here is building entire towns or entire new city sectors in one fell swoop instead of planning them out and building them in stages so plans can be adjusted as needs inevitably change is a bad idea. It's things like this that have directly led to the current property market crisis.
Of course if buildings are already there it makes sense to use them, but they might have been able to put something better suited or more economically viable there if they had staggered the construction.
That's the thing that gets me about conspiracy theories, they're always way too interesting to be real. There are real conspiracies out there but they're almost always boring because the last thing they want is to draw attention.
The guy who runs the site literally works for Brave. It says so in the about page.
Deep packet inspection by definition requires the ability to see inside the packet, which if using HTTPS wouldn't be possible for your ISP.
They can still see the destination IP, return IP, and port number, but that's it. It would take a ton of storage to log all of that packet data though, and it'd be difficult to come up with a way not to double count it if it's going through multiple hops on the ISP network.
Logging DNS requests on the DNS server would be a much easier way of collecting that data if they wanted it. I know cloudflare collects aggregate DNS query data through their public DNS server, and Google likely does too.
I'm familiar. Other than key exchange for encrypted connections, the whole point of HTTPS/TLS is establishing who you're connecting with is who they say they are and preventing man in the middle attacks just like you described.
If your traffic was being intercepted by something like Zscaler it wouldn't be able to provide the proper signed certificate of that web address and your browser would throw a mismatch error. IT departments using such intermediaries for https traffic inspection only get around this by installing the intermediaries' root CA on your system so it's not flagged by your browser or whatever you're using for TLS traffic.
The only way someone could intercept your TLS traffic and then pass it onto you without you knowing is by having that website's private key to sign the traffic with, which is a major security breach. As soon as something like that is discovered the certificate is revoked and a new one is issued with a different private key.
So, again, that's just not how TLS works.
Not even sure why you guys are arguing. All of this can boil down to:
- More RAM is beneficial, especially when it's shared by the CPU and GPU.
- The biggest bottleneck for most games on the Steam Deck is probably not RAM/VRAM, though.
- Faster memory will probably improve performance more than more memory.
- All of this is entirely dependent on the game or application you're running.
But the biggest point should be:
- Good fucking luck desoldering and soldering BGA memory chips by hand.
Yup. An ISP could potentially gain some information based on the IPs you're hitting and the number/frequency of packets sent and received, but that would take serious logging and analysis on their part. It's much easier to collect data through DNS requests.
