The #Kremlin has revised its #nuclear #policy. Does that make the use of atomic #weapons more likely?

Source: apnews.com/article/russia-nucl…

It adds that nuclear weapons could be used in these scenarios: If reliable information is received about the takeoff or launch of strategic and tactical aircraft, cruise missiles, drones, hypersonic or other flying vehicles and their crossing the Russian border.

So a #military drone across the border is enough? Nearly the same bullshit is standing in the US version. This means they can use nuclear weapons in every war at any time.

Southern #Lebanon is actually northern #Israel - opinion

Source: m.jpost.com/opinion/article-82…

Indeed, back in biblical times, southern Lebanon was clearly part of the Land of Israel. In the Book of Genesis (10:19) it says, “and the borders of #Canaan reached from Sidon toward Gerar as far as #Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Tsevoyim as far as Lasha.” Sidon, a city in Lebanon, is about halfway between the current Israeli border and #Beirut.

On that basis, the whole of America and Australia would have to be returned to the indigenous peoples, and their claims don't even date back to antiquity.

#Orbot lies brazenly to the user

Source: guardianproject.info/apps/org.…

Orbot is a very useful app for using the #TOR #network on #Android. With all due respect to floss and the achievements of the altruistic developers, I still think it's downright cheeky to lie so blatantly to the user.

The bridge functionality, which can be optionally activated, allows users from the censored Internet, where all TOR servers are blocked, to connect anyway.

Orbot is writing:

It will not drain your battery

This is wrong. There will be more background activity for this connections and this will cost battery power. This is a damn lie!

It will not slow down your internet

This is wrong. There will be connections from others and they will slow down your internet. With a big bandwidth you won't note it but not everyone have high speed internet. This is a damm lie!

The only Amazon information involved was employee work contact information, for example work email addresses, desk phone numbers, and building locations,” Montgomery said.

If not even a company like Amazon can store its data securely, is there any security at all? Amazon doesn't lack money or experts, but it does seem to lack secure software.
