Probably not, but they do have a joint defense treaty with the DPRK and it serves as a good opportunity for them to test their troops in real world scenarios and to learn things that they may need to know in case of a future conflict.

Change browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh to true then go to Settings -> Search -> Search Shortcuts (at the bottom) -> Add. No extension needed. :)

Yea, this is important to point out, though it doesn't make any of this better by any amount at all. Roblox is essentially a game engine with a server browser and social media strapped on to it, it's not really a game in the normal sense. People can upload assets and write their own scripts to basically create whatever they want, it's not like Roblox themselves sat down and made any of this. The combination of a platform mainly played by children with social media built-in and the ability for people to upload whatever custom content they want with seemingly no moderation was bound to lead to horrors beyond my comprehension.

Edited: I'm surprised they didn't mention the hyper monetization that appeals to children heavily, like, this shit is worse than any mobile game you could think of. It's honestly fucking wild. You load into any game on the front page and you're hit with like 5 pop ups asking you to buy something and buttons all over your screen with countdowns for "exclusive deals" in their shop.

Probably ships with OpenSSL and/or OpenSSH. Buying a cheap CH341A programmer off of Aliexpress is a lot of fun because you can actually dump the firmware from like 95% of these things with a $5 tool and poke around/reverse engineer them and do some fun things with that knowledge.

I figured I'd write a basic installation guide for the people who may not already know how to use Modrinth's pack system.

  1. Download and install Prism Launcher from here. If you're using Linux, using the Flatpak version will make your life much easier as it comes bundled with multiple Java versions that you may need for specific Minecraft versions (including the one that this pack is on)
  2. Download the pack from here by going to the "Featured Versions" section on the left side of the screen and clicking the newest one that's currently available.
  3. Open Prism Launcher and click the "Add Instance" button in the top left, then select the "Import" tab from the options on the left side of the pop up window, then click the "Browse" button and select the .mrpack file you downloaded from Modrinth, then click the "Ok" button at the bottom.
  4. After you import the pack, you may need to change the Java version the game will launch with to Java 17. If you're on Linux and using the Flatpak, you already have Java 17, but if you're on Windows you will have to download it manually from here. Right click "Create Hexes 1.x.x" and then click the "Edit" button, then select the "Settings" tab from the options on the left side of the pop up window, then check the "Java installation" checkbox, then set the path to your Java 17 installation path, in my case because I'm on Linux and using the Flatpak, it's /app/jdk/17/bin/java.
  5. Finally, sign-in to your Minecraft account by clicking "Manage Accounts" in the top right, then clicking "Add Microsoft" and following the on-screen instructions for how to login via your Microsoft account. Once you've signed in with your actual Microsoft account, you're able to add another offline/cracked account with any username you'd like by clicking the "Add Offline" button. If you don't have an actual Minecraft account, I'm sure there is a fork of Prism Launcher somewhere with this requirement removed or you may even be able to manually add a offline account by editing the accounts file, but I'm honestly not sure. If anyone knows, feel free to post a reply.

It'd be really funny if Yemen or Hezbollah just flew a few drones into Intel's isntrael fabs.

I know Discord is super convenient and easy to use, but please don't use it for organizing purposes, this is a horrible idea for so many reasons. If you're going to use Discord for this purpose, you may as well just invite the local police officers to your meetings. This goes for Microsoft's Windows as well, but that's a whole different conversation and not in the scope of this post.

Piggybacking on what @hello_hello said, I'd bring Matrix to your organizations attention and lobby for it's adoption. It's free, open-source, decentralized/federated, and end-to-end encrypted (important!) and has everything you'd want like direct messages, group chats, voice & video calls, and plenty more.

If you really must use Discord, make a throw away e-mail that you only use on Discord, do not attach a phone number to your account, pick a username that you've never used on any other platform, don't talk about anything that could be linked back to you, etc. Assume everything you send/do is being looked at, because it is.

For context, an Olympic sized swimming pool holds about 1.1 million gallons of water. That would fill almost half of that swimming pool.
