So ARPANET had a famous "Flag Day" where they switched over to TCP/IP in 1983; it required a simultaneous switchover of all host machines to the new protocol. And I know that "flag day" has since referred to big changes like that in networked systems. I assumed the name referred to some bitwise flags set in packet headers. Turns out, the term comes from Multics, when similar coordination was required for an encoding change. It happened on actual US Flag Day 1966!

This ain’t your grandfather’s Judaism any longer.An argument that I have seen from time to time goes something like this:...Alan Joseph Bauer (Townhall)
Capitalism killed democracy in our lifetime. Whatever civic actions we took to peacefully resist, and violent ones too, were insufficient to stop or slow the juggernaut because we gave our enemies our money. And we still do.
Republicans are worse than Catholics who express "dissapointment" with the church. MAGAs are absolutely loyal to a fault.
Dems don't have a coherent plan to give us capitalism with a human face because elected leaders have to drink from the same trough as Reps.
If a party truly challenged the Reps there would be declared a National Emergency to prevent the elections. That's what happens when you put a felon insurrectionist in the White House, and when you illegally pack scotus.
If Trump is broken on Epstein's back that would be Shakespearean and cathartic.
Another world is possible. Tax the uber- rich, support democratic nations, sell the U.S. to the Danes for $1.

On the 16th of July, at around 8pm UTC+2, a malicious AUR package was
uploaded to the AUR. Two other malicious packages were uploaded by the

- librewolf-fix-bin
- firefox-patch-bin
- zen-browser-patched-bin
The Arch Linux team addressed the issue as soon as they became aware of
the situation. As of today, 18th of July, at around 6pm UTC+2, the
offending packages have been deleted from the AUR.We strongly encourage users that may have installed one of these

measures in order to ensure they were not compromised.
There are more packages with this malware found.

What makes a good viral post these days?
- Shock people
- Sensationalism
- Cuteness
- Laugh at misfortune
- Gossip
- Say something polarizing
- Say something that allows people to excuse themselves or blame someone/something else for problems
- Say something agreeable that people can latch on to and say "THIS!"
It's hard to truly develop ones self or find peace, when drowning in a sea of mind-pollution.
Avoid platforms that support it, use a 3rd-party client, and curate.
"What makes a good viral post these days?" - you might as well have asked the following question, which is virtually equivalent:
"What hits emotionally first, and rationally second (or scarcely at all, if it's something positive and uplifting), and will summon boosts?"

White: Symbolizes peace and love, echoing the messages of the prophets. It reflects the desire for hearts free of hatred, as opposed to enemies who carry only malice;
Green: It represents goodness, growth, blessings, and hope for the future. It symbolizes Palestine's potential for prosperity and flourishing, with the expectation that the barren land will once again become fertile and joyful;

And they must learn this lesson by force, if need be. Indeed, the lesser yellow man often can understand no language BUT force!
