I looked up the Open Technology Fund on Wikipedia and it has no relation to the CIA. well, except that its parent agency (Radio Free Asia) is part of the US government like the CIA is. they don't seem to work together at all, and they're under the purview of two different branches of government

besides, as other commenters have said, they're open source and they've been audited. anyone can build the client themselves (with any potential backdoors removed) and set up their own server. would the CIA allow for that?

Signal was developed with financial backing by the CIA, so do with that information what you will.

source?

NPR News is probably what you're looking for. sports and celebrity stuff is relegated to the Culture section, which is its own separate thing (although there are a couple of music stories that seem to have been misplaced). here is the RSS feed for the News section: https://feeds.npr.org/1001/rss.xml

true. gotta get one of those desks you see at schools, with the hole in the corner and the plastic cover

the setup actually isn't bad at all. using a soundbar is a nice touch. i would do something about the clutter though; you want a nice clean desk for gaming sessions. too bad we can't see the chair, you need something like an office chair for maximum comfort and not a gaming chair, as they actually aren't very good for your back

never doubt the elegance of good semantic HTML and a few lines of classless CSS

Aquaman. the visual effects were ridiculous, the characters were one-dimensional, the soundtrack was...something, and the overall tone was that of a testosterone firehose to the face. i said the eight deadly words about halfway through, and i was thoroughly bored out of my mind despite action scene after action scene after action scene...the only reason why i didn't just get up and leave was because i was watching with a group

not because she is vile — because she is a Republican. she has sacrificed her better nature for power and closeness to Trump. there is no particular reason why she is cruel, of course, because cruelty is the point.

shit just went from 0 to 100 real fucking quick

for real though, if you ask an LLM how to make a bomb, it's not the LLM that's the problem
