Right. Super Bowl is about money, and right now Bad Bunny means more money. It’s not a protest, and Trump acting displeased is not because he was caught off-guard, he’s doing what his base is expecting of him.

All this likely was negotiated behind curtains weeks before, and Trump was surely well informed by his team. Just another performance that maximizes profit.

Since I saw that primates have a sense of humor, things like this don’t surprise me as much, because it’s not like they’re similar to us, it’s that we are very similar to them. It’s natural to share many traits.

Anna's Archive Loses .PM Domain, Adds Greenland (.GL) Backup ( torrentfreak.com )

The popular shadow library Anna's Archive has lost yet another domain name. The site's .pm domain was taken offline after international pressure on intermediaries continued to mount. That initially left the .li domain as the only option, but a Greenland-based backup was swiftly added.

I’ve always wondered if cells created viruses, or if viruses are a natural consequence of complex genetics. They look so useless, having no need to reproduce, yet killing cells to do it uncontrollably. They don’t even feed, what is their purpose?

More pragmatically, time travel for a casual party would be risky because you’re carrying germs many generations apart. Time travelers would wear full-body suits or risk dramatically altering history. They could not drink or eat anything.

DJ who played ‘Heil Hitler’ in Miami Beach makes statement. Here’s what he said ( www.miamiherald.com )

Why do people always talk about Ubuntu here instead of Kubuntu?

I've seen people suggest Ubuntu without mentioning Kubuntu, but it seems like most people (especially gamers?) prefer KDE Plasma. I've seen people complain about Ubuntu's GUI and lack of customization, but then no one suggests them to try Kubuntu instead. It seems like people just don't know that Kubuntu exists. ...

TeamAssimilation ,
@TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub avatar

I’m guilty of saying Ubuntu when I mean Kubuntu. Gnome became stupidly minimalistic by following Apple’s philosophy , I prefer KDE’s customization and the old-school feeling of choice it gives you.

Kubuntu used to be very buggy before, but nowadays the LTS release is very stable.

Conversely, it’s surprising to see fruit so high up, while fish and poultry are in the middle. Does this mean only vegetarian people eat healthy? Hardly believable for an omnivorous animal like humans.

TeamAssimilation ,
@TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub avatar

Very big caveat: while our primate cousins manage to eat some meat from time to time, it was our domestication of fire more than a million year ago that allowed us to access plenty of calories and nutrients from almost any food, everything was suddenly on the table, and was made easy to chew and digest. We are more omnivorous than the naturally omnivorous animals.

The intro they speak of is the phrase “War. War never changes”. That article could have been a single paragraph.

His turns in Fallout are especially interesting because they're his most iconic videogame work, and yet it's only four simple words: "War. War never changes." The intro to each Fallout game spins off differently from there, but those four words are an essential pillar of the series, every bit as thematically foundational as power armor or Nuka Cola.

I’m so jaded these days I can see a writer doing a few paragraphs, and asking an LLM to fluff it up.

@TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub avatar

I’d guess the former, given it’s tiny compared to normal droppers, but you can never be sure these days.

This sample is a multi-platform 'polyglot' binary acting as a dropper and potentially a browser-based exploit. It functions as a Windows PE (with no standard imports, suggesting custom shellcode or manual API resolution), a Linux shell script, and an HTML/JavaScript file. The Linux component contains a command ('tail -c+4294 $0 | lzma -dc > /tmp/a') that extracts and executes a hidden payload from its own body. The embedded JavaScript is obfuscated and uses 'eval' to execute dynamically generated code. This structure is typical of sophisticated malware or cross-platform exploit delivery kits.

Trump Says US Will Start ‘Hitting Land’, Targeting Cartels ‘Running Mexico’ ( www.newsweek.com )

President Donald Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday night that the United States is “going to start now hitting land” in its fight against drug cartels—framing the move as a response to what he claimed is cartel control of Mexico and a U.S. death toll in the “250,000–300,000” range every year.

TeamAssimilation ,
@TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub avatar

As a Mexican, let him do it. Our government speaks proudly of sovereignty while the mafia rules vast swats of the territory with their complicity. A country can’t be sovereign if citizens are ruled by criminals instead of the law.

Seriously, in 2025 about 300,000 people have gone missing, it’s your guess how many of them are buried in clandestine dumps. This has to stop somehow, and the mafia certainly fears Trump more than any Mexican president ever.

Did I say that? I said he should actually follow through and fight the cartels and the colluded government, for his own selfish reasons. I think any great disruption of the deeply corrupt unholy marriage of government and mafia would be a net gain for us Mexicans.
