I’ve been using Tuta for damn near a decade, and it’s been great for me.

Modern Android phones include a hw-accelerated hypervisor. In Android 16, there will be a feature to run a full Linux VM through what Google calls protected Kernel VM (pKVM).

Qualcomm has their own implementation called Gunyah

Just because the ISA is open source doesn’t mean that the end product or even the design will be open source.

RISC-V is licensed permissively, giving anyone the right to make a proprietary (or FOSS) RISC-V processor.

Often times, you’ll see mostly open source cores, but then some extention is proprietary.

You can pass through a dedicated PCIe USB card if latency is important.

On my desktop, I’m able to pass through the motherboard’s integrated USB controller. YMMV if you try this, though. If I need to control the host (ex: to force shutdown the guest), I either use a PS/2 keyboard, SSH, or KDE Connect.

Idk about Putin, but this is almost certainly due to the arrest warrant on Netanyahu

Rules for thee but not for me

I mean, it absolutely would be a crisis for those in power who are guilty of rape/sexual abuse/harassment

Someone needs to blue shell all of his money away and deport him back to South Africa.

Would be a shame if Elon’s hack on the treasury left a backdoor open that any good hacker can access, because then it could be used against him and his billionaire/robber baron friends.

Obama promising a leftie-style government, then continuing to implement neoliberalism was my alarm that fascism was coming. This is also when I started getting into politics. Had I been both alive and into politics in the 1980s, I probably would have said Reagan was the alarm, and I would’ve agreed with that today, since he was largely responsible for introducing neoliberalism in the US.

Neoliberalism was our late stage capitalism, which was always destined to fail. Now we’re past that and now running into fascism, which was defined by the founder of fascism (Mussolini) as the merging or corporations and governments, which is what we’re seeing now.

From former president FDR: “The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.”

The OPM was hacked by Elon Musk putting an email server in there. Elon Musk and his cronies are the ones sending these emails, not the OPM.

The “K” stood for “Kool”
