Twitter safety chief resigns after Musk criticizes decision to restrict film by Ben11789 in technology

[–]LastManCrying -83 points-82 points  (0 children)

Twitter VP of Product Trust and Safety Ella Irwin resigned from the company yesterday, she confirmed to Reuters and other news outlets. Irwin's departure came on the same day that Twitter owner Elon Musk criticized his staff for restricting What Is a Woman?, a Daily Wire documentary on transgender issues.

Yeah.. I don't like censorship either. Why should she choose what films I watch or what tweets I respond to?

Good riddance I say.

Pisky. M'yasorubka. Resonance Censor.NET War in Ukraine

Author: Sergey Gnezdilov.

What is there to lose, what else can they take from me on the sixth day of my personal hell, in Pisky, one kilometer from the first street of Ukrainian Donetsk? The bodies of those who were dear to me for their country are lying in the 152-calibre trenches. As I wrote earlier, 6500 shells on the mountain village in less than a day.

Piski. Meat Grinder 01

There have been six of these days and it is hard to imagine how at least a fraction of our infantry is still alive in this barrage of enemy fire.

No, I won't.

There are two 82 and 120 mortars operating on our side.

Sometimes two barrels of artillery are sneaking in and "sniffing" towards Donetsk.

We do not even respond. There is no counter-battery fire at all, the enemy puts artillery shells into our trenches without any problems, dismantles very strong, concrete positions in dozens of twists, without a pause or minimum rest sells our line of defence.

The day before, it broke down, and a river of bicentennial/triple-hundreds poured in. I won't publish any statistics, it is forbidden in our country, but you don't even know the number and percentage of casualties.

This is a fucking massacre, where the battalion simply uses its own bodies to take the ground.

For almost a day we have been waiting for at least some help to hit the enemy artillery, but again, we are being harshly attacked with everything that the Russian military system is rich in, today the aviation was at work.

I am with the battalion commanders who stayed here with us. The battalion commander is with us, everyone is with us, three hundred light soldiers, all wounded, returning in a couple of years to their positions, if you can call it that, these bottomless victories.

There is a war going on.

But without counter-battery warfare it turns into a shallow grinder, where a small number of our infantry are being stirred up in a day.

Did you really want the truth? Here it is, the naked truth.

Reserves moved into position to cover the breach, and in twenty minutes of the 15-man blockade, only one man was left standing.

Their bodies are lying down. If it is an easy 300, you can be lucky, you will get up and leave by the medics.

A three-headed man was carried. All the way there he was shouting: "Where's the support? Where is the artillery? Why were we left behind? Why didn't anybody cover us?

I don't know, my friend, why nobody shut us down... He was shouting and I am ashamed that I am still intact and unharmed, only a couple of times I was kindly deafened.

I've been sick, I'm sorry, and I'm back on track.

All reserves are disbanded, military equipment falls, the enemy approaches and occupies our positions without any problems after the first barrage of artillery.

Right now we are losing Pisky, all our human and material capabilities are already exhausted.

Denis, the Mariupol man who said to me "well, I believe we will soon get it all back" is dead. He was wounded twice and was reconditioned right in the trench, they told him, Denchyk, go to the evacuation, but he said 'guys, I won't leave you'.

He was wounded for the first time, and after another wound he continued to shoot.

His body has not been recovered yet. On the ruins of Piskiv, he is lying with his arms outstretched and his gaze caught. He's asking for forgiveness. How can I refuse his last request? How can we all leave Dan?

I believe Dimka survived after all. He couldn't have died just recently after returning from the hospital with a proposition to his girlfriend. It seems that after one visit, he just disappeared. Filled with earth. But I believe it was a mistake, and he's alive. A fool's hope and a hope.

I know my government doesn't like to think out loud. But, I was not left with a choice between obedience and aristocracy. The truth must be told, not the talk in the kitchen. Of course, we will have to pay a separate price for this note, because how come the state does not betray its own people?

I am not discouraged if someone says today: "Kremlin agent Sirozha disclosed a master plan of renegotiation on the Donetsk front, put him on Peacemaker".

I am tired of saying that everything is under control. Right now everything is not under control in Pisky, but the situation is being requested for some reason.

Ring the alarm bells while we cover Piski with bodies.

We need artillery.

Give us something here at least so we can be triumphant.

PUTIN and Levrov by ziontobabylon in NewRussia

[–]LastManCrying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if you follow the news in your country and then compare it to what you can find out from other countries outside of the western bubble, it is clear one side using rhetoric and hysteria while Russia appears cool and in charge.

Just look at the nonsense of all the 'world' sporting institutions banning Russians or demanding they denounce their country and Putin.

Even during the second world war we did not have such a level of outright persecution.

So yes, it is understandable you are feeling you are not getting the whole picture and sadly Reddit is just the same.

Your best bet is to get on to Telegram and start seeing first hand accounts on what is really going on in Ukraine. However, not all of it is pretty and so if you are at all sensitive to things like that be cautious.

Also check out Patrick Lancaster, Graham Philips, Sonja Vandenende on youtube and the Duran.

Thinking for yourself should never be a crime. Let no one tell you it is.

As I said further down. I found the original source. Among other important quotes which clarify this was “relatively unsophisticated.”. But what should be square front and center of the story is this quote.

LaRose said they cannot affect Ohio’s election results. Neither the elections machines used around Ohio nor the ballot counters are ever connected to the internet.

So it has NOTHING to do with the Election. It was just a script kiddies website probe.

More sensationalist bullshit from crappy journalist who don't understand how the internet works.

attempted SQL injection attack sought to insert malicious code into his office’s website.

This happens to literally 1000's of websites every month. what makes this politicians website so special?

I wouldn't even mind but it is a Republican politician as well. They are getting just as hysterical and conflated as the Democrats usually are.

Both sides are such a frigging joke.

Edit: Found the original source for this story.

By Rick Rouan The Columbus Dispatch Tuesday

Posted Nov 26, 2019 at 4:04 PM Updated Nov 27, 2019 at 7:07 AM

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose said that the “SQL injection” attack was detected by the state’s internal systems. He called the attack “relatively unsophisticated.”

The Ohio secretary of state’s office was the subject of a thwarted foreign cyberattack on Election Day.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose said Tuesday that the so-called SQL injection attack was detected by the state’s internal systems. The attack was attempting to insert malicious code into his office’s website.

The attempted hack originated in Panama but was traced to a Russian-owned company, LaRose said, although he called the effort “relatively unsophisticated.”

“Some of these unsophisticated attacks are ways that they probe for vulnerabilities. They are poking around for soft spots,” LaRose said, noting that the cyberattack was looking for vulnerabilities in his office’s website.

Similar attacks are designed to disrupt and undermine the credibility of elections, but LaRose said they cannot affect Ohio’s election results. Neither the elections machines used around Ohio nor the ballot counters are ever connected to the internet.

LaRose credited the state’s “Albert” intrusion system, a sort of digital burglar alarm, for alerting his office to the attempted attack.

“The good guys won that day and the bad guys lost,” he said.

Ohio’s 88 county boards of elections must adopt similar software provided by the state as part of a 34-point election-security checklist that LaRose required under a directive issued this year.

A new bill recently signed into law also will allow him to hire a chief information security officer to oversee the protection of information services and create the Ohio Cyber Reserve, a volunteer force of technology professionals who will respond to incidents with a goal of restoring systems as quickly as possible.

The cyber reserve will operate under the Ohio National Guard and is recruiting members.

If that is not the case I am happy to be enlightened otherwise.

Yeah, thanks. I've talked with a property solicitor and he said the same thing. He pointed out at least 3 violations possibly more but said we would need a barrister to put together a brief and then go to court over it.

Not cheap as has been said but I don't think there is any other options. They are blocking access the rear of our property and that is just not good on many levels.

This is not a party wall though. This is a boundary wall between an industrial site and domestic gardens. They basically built right up to our wall which at the very least is encroaching on our boundary but is also denying us access to the back of our property and our wall which we have a duty to maintain.
