I heard that person actively contributed for something like 2 years, providing actually useful contributions, to gain the level of trust needed to plant that backdoor. Feels a bit too much to chalk it up to boredom.

As for the second part, that’s an interesting question. Are there lots of backdoors and we just happened to notice this one, or are backdoors very rare exactly because we’d have found them out soon like in this case?

My thoughts exactly. Kinda like how some tiktoks/reels/shorts are specifically crafted to make you watch them over and over again to drive up viewing time.

Say you’re a dictator without saying you’re a dictator

Well, I thought I had a little insight on the matter since I’m Italian, guess I was wrong. /s

Probably because there is a, perceived or cultivated, associations between Muslims and immigrants/people of color. And if you can’t outright punish someone based on “race” you go after the closest thing.

Based in the news I’ve read, the Russian government, and also the ones of many neighboring countries

Potable

I understand your point and admit my comment could definitely be interpreted that way.

I could be a dick about it and demand people learn to pronounce it the way us Italians do, but then I’d also have to start pronouncing every English loan word perfectly and with a correct English accent while speaking Italian, and you can do that without sounding like a pretentious asshole, so I won’t.

Of course, I just found it interesting there’s no equivalent sound

Even that is an approximation, I don’t think English has the Italian gn sound, which is the same as Spanish ñ.

I can’t think of any way to spell it that’d lead to a precise pronunciation, or any English word that contains that specific sound.

Lots of countries are trying to encourage births, his approach is just a bit more… Direct. Enacting policies? Just tell people to bump uglies more!

Also, given South Korea’s population is projected to decline sharply, having more soldiers to throw in the frontlines would be a strategic advantage in a future war.

And the movie is the adaptation of a Stephen King book

If you know Spanish: gn is, mostly, pronounced as ñ

I don’t think school should emulate work.

Learning (well) isn’t easy, attention spans are limited and after some time you get rapidly diminishing results.

I personally like the sound of inverting the structure we use for learning, meaning assigning the “theory” as homework and using class time to discuss or apply it afterwards.

At least that has the benefit of letting every student manage their time, spending more time on harder (for them) subjects.

IIRC there’s research saying 9 or even 10 is a better start time for learning for young people

Unfortunately in Italy it still is, baffling as it is

Thing is, it may be less hot but at high altitudes you’ll get some nasty sunburn real fast if you forget your sunblock

Here in Italy WhatsApp became the norm many years ago and to this day it’s hard to get rid of because that’s where you’ll find everyone you know.

I’d love if everyone moved to Telegram, but I know it’s not easily done unfortunately

European here. I only know about this from a video I saw some time ago. Android user, obviously
