"Taken out od context"?! I watched his talk and he said precisely what he said. Apparently, a lot of his supporters understood it exactly as CNN reported:

"Maryland emergency hotline gets 100 calls and New York poison control center records soaring numbers of people calling about ingesting bleach after President Trump touted it as a potential 'cure'"

"grievance studies" - happy reading :)

@dump_stack

Some people say blame them on Kadyrov & friends, but Chechnya is part of Russian Federation and if Russia went to great effort to enforce its laws over Chechnya back in 2000's it really looks only like a convenient pretext for all these dirty jobs...

@dump_stack

Well, I don't think there was even one journalist assassination that was investigated thoroughly by law enforcement. At the same time people reposting some silly memes on VK get sentenced so this tells you a lot about what are the priorities...

man smartctl and check all the sanitize options.

All modern drives have built-in in sanitization, and it's much faster and more complete that dd.

@se7en

I guess it's because they're now all earning $$$ at bug bounties and CTF.

Hacking was pretty much about showing your skills, this has been now largely civilized and commercialized.

Modern Russia is not North Korea and there is free speech there (although pushed to the corner), but job of a journalist there is still associated with a risk of assassination by "unknown perpetrators". So it takes some courage:

"Journalists at Vedomosti, one of Russia’s most prominent business publications, on Thursday accused their editor of imposing stifling pro-Kremlin censorship upon them and suggested the board of directors appoint someone else"

@SC0ID ...and they replied literally 15 mins after I reported Zoom inaccuracy :)

@SC0ID Go and tell them - they are explicitly asking for feedback https://freedom.press/contact/

I've already sent a correction about Zoom which does require registration even for web client calls.

"Across Russia, #COVID19 patients are getting doxxed and harassed. Sometimes, their home addresses show up online just minutes after they test positive. Our investigation traced many of these leaks to medical staff, police, and neighbors."
