    Which notably is where both meltdown and spectre actually look really scary. Because that's the land of "compromising one specific machine can cost you a massive amount of effort, because it's still profitable".

    Userland, there's actually very little worrying. There's very little value in reading random memory of any single end user machine one chunk at a time when there's nothing else you can really do. There just isn't anything that is all that valuable on such a machine to justify the effort, much less make a profit out of it.

    When he says "domestic whistleblower", he doesn't mean going into your house, shoving a whistle in your anus and farting. An understandable error on your part, don't worry about it. It happens to the best of trolls.

    Apparently Russians have a working security apparatus that hasn't been breached by CIA.

    You seem to now assume that similarity in methodologies among the authoritarian left and authoritarian right has something to do with ideology.

    It doesn't. It's simply the fact of efficiency of certain brutal methodology being universal, regardless of political ideology of the user.

    No argument on critique of authoritarianism, regardless of location no political spectrum. We're in agreement here. It does not however detract from the point I made that authoritarianism exists on both edges of political spectrum, and both are in fact capable of reaching power.

    Yes, that is the extremist point of view from a left wing extremist. Just like a right wing extremist would say the exact same thing, only changing "right" for "left".

  17. You keep dropping the words "in context" with remarkable consistency from your quoting me. Even after being called on this several times now. Have you considered trying to actually engage with what I'm actually saying yet?

  18. So in your view, it's enough to sometimes have correct representation of one's words to justify the giant body of propaganda?

    You really need to look into propaganda machine of CCP. I suspect they have work for you.

    Interesting extrapolation from "don't look down on people who don't share you political views". Straight into power politics and violence.

    And that kind of thinking is exactly why North Korea was allowed to develop nuclear weapons under Clinton, younger Bush and Obama. Most people are so isolated from actual power aspect of geopolitics, they no longer remember how to conduct themselves on this arena. Last US president who had any clue was Bush senior, as shown by his treatment of Russia right after collapse of USSR. And he ultimately applied too much stick or not enough stick, depending on how you look at the situation. But at least his actions demonstrated he understood how power works and how it should be used.

    In this regard, Trump has indeed been a first US president in a while to remember how the system actually works. Mostly intuitively too it seems, which is even more surprising. Which is why people like you, utterly ignorant of this aspect, think he's going to start a nuclear war by answering the youngest Kim in the same language that youngest Kim speaks. The language you cannot understand.

    Do you know what's a really easy way to identify an extremist?

    They will usually say that the only extremists exist on the opposite side of the spectrum, and start suggesting that the extremists on their side are actually on the opposite side. Typical path to this is sophistry, as you do above.

    You do realize that we're talking about Trump's account here, and not an imaginary one that you pulled out of your ass?

    He makes a point of posting in a very specific way, which is clearly designed to push for certain agenda, and obfuscate his actual thoughts. To the point where many of the "oh we're smarter than him and we know we're thinking" types among the journalists keep getting it wrong with remarkable consistency.

    And that is why I state above that when someone says that they can read minds, it says nothing about the person who's mind they say they can read.

    The only relevant information in that statement is that said person has serious problems differentiating between their thoughts and reality.
