It was determined that 4chan hacked through a PDF file upload. The hacker uploaded a pdf file which contained malicious code, the server opened the file and executed the code.

The joke that I've seen people say about 4chan was "pedophiles hacked by a pdf file". 4chan admins said they have disabled pdf uploads temporarily.

It is a bit ironic that the US used sanctions and tariffs to harm so many other countries but now believes that cutting off trade from their own country will help the US. "Live by the sword, die by the sword" type situation.

If you read this page on their website. The BDS movement says that they have different levels of targets. There is a "consumer boycott" category which says that you should not buy any products from those Brands. Then there is a "pressure target" category. It explains that a Pressure target is a company that you should "boycott when reasonable alternatives exist".

Inside of the Pressure Target category includes other very large companies: Google, Amazon, Disney. If I understand correctly, Microsoft will also be considered a pressure target, which means that avoiding a Microsoft product is not always possible. Example, many people use Microsoft as an operating system either at home or at work.

The BDS page for Microsoft, which was added to their website today, says "As a consumer, boycott Microsoft products whenever possible." It also gives you a lot of other pressure options, including "send a letter to Microsoft executives demanding that Microsoft end its complicity in Israel’s AI-powered genocide of Palestinians", "join or start a campaign to pressure your university to cut ties with Microsoft by divesting from the company", "pressure your local government to divest from Microsoft", "sign the workers’ petition at: noaa.cc/sign".

Obviously your post is in bad faith and honestly disgusting. You see a post where people are being silenced for supporting Palestine and you are trying to shift the blame to someone you don't like a personal level. You saw pro-palestinian and pro-lebanese voices getting silenced, 2 of these people have family being bombed, and you try to make this into an opportunity to stir up drama. You are gross.

All of the people who were banned are friends of Hasan and have direct communication with Hasan. None of the people who are banned would want Hasan to stop streaming. They like that he reports Israel's crimes to thousands or millions of people. It is very likely that Hasan is talking to them right now to try to help them out and possibly also talking with twitch to try to get rid of the bans.

Midnight Society, the game studio co-founded by Dr Disrespect, has terminated its relationship with the streamer.

That is the day and time that former Twitch employee Cody Conners posted a tweet about the alleged reason for Beahm’s permanent ban, saying it was for “sexting a minor in the then existing Twitch whispers product.”

On Sunday, The Verge reported a second Twitch employee who worked on the platform’s trust and safety team at the time of the incident had come forward to corroborate Conner’s post.

In 2020, Beahm was banned from Twitch at the height of his popularity and shortly after signing a two-year exclusivity contract with the platform. Neither Twitch nor Beahm would state the reason why, leading to four years of mystery and speculation.

Maybe they're feds, maybe they're not. I can't really say.

There is no perfect activist. Every person is flawed. I watched some of these people being interviewed and they seem like random people who are just actually afraid of climate change. Also the media did misinformation on the soup painting thing. The activists said they only threw paint/soup at painting that they knew was behind glass.

Last summer, the sky was filled with smoke for 2 whole months. For months of the summer there was smoke in the sky every day from the Canada wildfires. I could smell the smoke outside daily. I live in North Carolina. I am hundreds of miles away from Canada. I would ask people, "Do you see the smoke in the sky? Do you smell it? It's on the news" and still people were completely oblivious to it.

Every year is the hottest year on record. The sky is on fire. I'm struggling to care about the optics of painting of old rocks.

If climate change is a genuine danger, then some people will respond in irrational ways. The point is not to chastise the people who react this way, it is to fix the threat of climate change.

Historic Meeting to Be Specially Recorded in Great Heyday of DPRK-Russia Friendship

President of Russian Federation Arrives in Pyongyang to Pay State Visit to DPRK

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Warmly Receives President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin

Pyongyang, June 19 (KCNA) -- At a crucial time when the friendly relations between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Russian Federation have emerged as a strong strategic fortress for preserving international justice, peace and security and an engine for accelerating the building of a new multi-polar world, another meeting of the top leaders of the two countries took place in Pyongyang, amply demonstrating once again the invincibility and durability of the DPRK-Russia friendship and unity.

Pyongyang International Airport was decked in a festive attire to warmly welcome as the highest state guest President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin of the Russian Federation who will pay a state visit to the DPRK at the invitation of Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the DPRK.

The national flags of the DPRK and the Russian Federation were fluttering at the top of flagstaffs.

Seen at the airport were Alexandr Matsegora, Russian ambassador to the DPRK, and his embassy members.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un came to the airport to greet Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

A private plane of the president of the Russian Federation landed on Pyongyang International Airport.

Kim Jong Un met with Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin in an exciting atmosphere.

Kim Jong Un shook hands with Putin and embraced him warmly, expressing his joy and gladness to meet him again in Pyongyang 270-odd days after the meeting at the Vostochny Spaceport in September 2023.

Being pleased that his Pyongyang visit was realized, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin expressed deep thanks to Kim Jong Un for coming to the airport to greet him warmly.

Putin was presented with a bouquet by a woman worker.

Among his entourage were Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Mantrov, Deputy Prime Minister Alexandr Nobak, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration and concurrently President's Press Secretary Dmitri Peskov, Aide to the President of Russia for Foreign Policy Yuri Ushakov, Minister of Defense Andrei Beloussov, Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology and concurrently Chairman of the Russian Side of the Russia-DPRK Inter-Governmental Committee for Cooperation in Trade, Economy, Science and Technology Alexandr Kozlov , Minister of Health Mikhail Murashuko and Minister of Transport Roman Starovoyt.

Kim Jong Un took Putin's private car to guide him to his lodging quarters.

Passing through charmingly lit streets of Pyongyang at night, the top leaders exchanged their pent-up inmost thoughts and opened their minds to more surely develop the DPRK-Russia relations in conformity with the common desire and will of the peoples of the two countries with the meeting as a momentum.

They arrived at the lodging quarters Kumsusan State Guest House.

Kim Jong Un personally guided Putin, having a friendly chat with him.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin's visit to the DPRK at a remarkable time, when the traditional relations of friendship and cooperation between the DPRK and Russia have surely entered a course of new comprehensive development, is of great importance in reliably promoting the strategic and future-oriented development of the DPRK-Russia relations consolidated in the trials of history generation after generation and century after century and powerfully propelling the cause of building a powerful country, a desire common to the peoples of the two countries. -0-

“Faced with the marvels of machines, which seem to know how to choose independently, we should be very clear that decision-making, even when we are confronted with its sometimes dramatic and urgent aspects, must always be left to the human person,” Francis said.

“We would condemn humanity to a future without hope if we took away people’s ability to make decisions about themselves and their lives, by dooming them to depend on the choices of machines,” he continued.

“We need to ensure and safeguard a space for proper human control over the choices made by artificial intelligence programs: human dignity itself depends on it,” the pontiff added.

He specifically urged the G7 leaders to ban the use of lethal autonomous weapons, arguing that “no machine should ever choose to take the life of a human being.”

“In order for them to be instruments for building up the good and a better tomorrow, they must always be aimed at the good of every human being,” he said.

“It is up to everyone to make good use of [AI], but the onus is on politics to create the conditions for such good use to be possible and fruitful,” Francis said.

Press Statement of Vice Department Director of C.C., WPK Kim Yo Jong

Pyongyang, June 10 (KCNA) -- Kim Yo Jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, issued the following press statement on Sunday.

The ROK connived at the provocative act of scattering the political agitation rubbish across the border of the DPRK again on June 6 and 7 despite our repeated warning against the intemperate psychological warfare of the scum who defected from the DPRK, thus aggravating the situation.

In the period between June 6 and 8, the despicable political agitation rubbish was discovered in Singye and Thosan counties of North Hwanghae Province, Jangphung County and Phanmun District of Kaesong Municipality, Kosan, Phyonggang and Cholwon counties of Kangwon Province and other areas of the DPRK near the border.

As already warned, the DPRK scattered 7.5 tons of waste paper with more than 1 400 balloons over the border of the ROK from the night of June 8 to the dawn of June 9.

As you will see, we have only scattered empty waste paper without any political agitation.

It is quite different from the provocative political agitation rubbish scattered by the scum of the ROK against the DPRK.

Our minimum reaction is only the just and reflective reaction at the very low level.

Our reaction was scheduled to end on June 9, but the situation has changed.

The reason was explained by the act of the ROK.

The loudspeaker broadcasting provocation started in the border area at last.

This is a prelude to a very dangerous situation.

Politicians of Seoul are trying hard to justify their stand with the only and strange deformed logic in the world that regulates and judges the "freedom of expression" and "provocation" in the windward direction. And they formalized their behavior just like a guilty filing the suit first that they have resumed the loudspeaker broadcasting smear campaign again against the DPRK's counteraction against their challengeable act, thus creating a new crisis.

We strongly denounce the despicable and childish behavior of the ROK and clarify our stand responding to it.

If the ROK simultaneously carries out the leaflet scattering and loudspeaker broadcasting provocation over the border, it will undoubtedly witness the new counteraction of the DPRK.

The ROK will suffer a bitter embarrassment of picking up waste paper without rest and it will be its daily work.

I sternly warn Seoul to stop at once the dangerous act of bringing the further confrontation crisis and discipline itself. -0-

The main post links to reuters, but also here is the article from DPRK.

Press Statement by Vice-Minister of National Defence of DPRK

Pyongyang, June 2 (KCNA) -- Kim Kang Il, vice-minister of National Defence of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, made public the following press statement on Sunday:

From the night of May 28 to the dawn of June 2, we scattered 15 tons of wastepaper, favorite toy of the human scum, over the border areas of the ROK and its capital region with more than 3 500 balloons of various sorts.

We made the ROK clans get enough experience of how much unpleasant they feel and how much effort is needed to remove the scattered wastepaper.

We are going to halt wastepaper scattering over the border temporarily as our action was a countermeasure from A to Z.

But, if the ROK clans resume anti-DPRK leaflet scattering, we will correspond to it by intensively scattering wastepaper and rubbish hundred times the amount of scattered leaflets and the number of cases, as we have already warned. -0-

This isn't a guide to opsec as much as it is a guide to paranoia. Step 1 of OPSEC is figuring out your threat model, knowing who is trying to surveil you and why.

If you are simply trying to avoid being doxxed online by right wingers, pretty much every software you listed is extremely excessive. Just don't reuse usernames or passwords on different website and you are fine pretty much. Don't post your real name.

If you are trying to avoid surveillance by google or amazon, this is extremely difficult to the extent that you have to avoid most social media, block javascript on most websites making them nonfunctional, and even if you use a VPN, most people probably configure it incorrectly so that it's still leaking DNS or something.

If you are trying to avoid being surveilled by the government, your first mistake is owning a computer and a cellphone. Pretty much every computer and cellphone is known to have hardware backdoors since at least 2009. If you think you are going to avoid government surveillance, you're going to have to be using some pre-2008 computer and rotating out burner phones.

Besides that, pretty much everything you listed is a waste of time and effort. It's a fun hobby maybe. It's like when chuds spend thousands of dollars to buy some "zombie survival kit".

Posts like this operate on the premise that you should be hiding that you are a Leftist. Socialism is only going to come through public-facing organizing of the working class.

What does real opsec look like? Knowing that you are being surveilled when you use any electronic device and not saying things that could incriminate you. Treat electronic devices like you are in a public space. When you shop at Walmart, you know that there are cameras that are recording you while you shop. Does that stop you from shopping at Walmart? No you just take in consideration that you are being recorded.

It's the story of the dog who caught the car. Banning abortion was meant to be a way for the Republican Party to bait Christian evangelicals into voting for the party. The people who are republicans because they are capitalists never intended for evangelicals to get this. Now that the evangelicals got what they wanted, you have the bourgies in the party clashing with the extremely religious.
