I am clearing my tabs, and came across this one that has been open for who knows how long that I suspect many on here would appreciate. Malleable Systems Collective's mission:
https://malleable.systems/mission/
Bullet points. Software should:
1. Be easy to change
2. Allow arbitrary recombination and reuse
3. Have open-ended potential
4. Enable user ownership and control
5. Be freely sharable
6. Allow modifying in the context of use
7. Be thoughtfully crafted

Ранее произошла атака «Мужского государства» на социальные сети и курьерскую доставку ресторана из-за рекламы с темнокожим мужчиной
Лидер «МГ» пригрозил парализовать работу «Яндекс.Еды» фейковыми заказами, если те не удалят «Тануки» из своего сервиса. Агрегатор выполнил это требование.
«Тануки» объявил войну «Мужскому Государству» и собирается добиться блокировки его социальных сетей

Many years ago, a friend of mine told me it may be possible to exploit the Great Firewall of China for reflected amplification DDoS. This attack is real! #censorship #infosec #ddos

to be fair, I’ve only had _partial_ success with RemoteFX USB stuff, and I still don’t know if that’s because of PEBKAC (read: shitty docs), or because things actually aren’t supported, but… still, being able to use my peripherals like my 3d mouse is suuuuuper handy?

p.s. as part of my “let’s figure out remote development!” adventures, I learned that only the Windows Pro RDP client is able to do a lot of the fancy RDP things, like USB redirection (which is hella cool), and anything else you might want to use that supports it costs $hundreds$?
