I must say that because of Blizzard actions there was x50 more coverage for the people of HK, so in some strange way, I'm glad they did it

I really used to be the biggest Netflix fan but their OC is really lacking. And they do very little OC action outside their cartoons.

Really glad I bought in early on Disney+ and they are building something so big at a cheaper price point.

Even before this report I was excited by the whole network, and really excited for their OC.

Re:Bjarne Stroustrup Answers C++ Questions on Tuesday October 15, 2019 @11:39AM (#21259616)
Well it's good that he answers C++ stuff, a bit like Walter Bright here (or wherever) answers questions related to D - but the more important question is this:

Re:Meetup.com alternatives on Tuesday October 15, 2019 @11:37AM (#21259582)
tl;dr

1. cete - https://cete.io/ 2. emamo - https://emamo.com 3. kommunity - https://kommunity.com 4. eventy - https://eventy.io/ 5. "FreeCodeCamp is currently building an Open Source alternative to Meetup.com. They are looking for contributors, head to this Discord channel to get involved!" (In my opinion this article was made to feature this paragraph tbh)

Anyhow

I'm using meetup for a while

Been extremely useful (especially when i lived abroad. It's a great way to meet some new friends with similar hobbies.

As the article mentions, there probably aren't a lot of instances of this, given that software exploits are often easier to implement. And once discovered, can be re-used hundreds of not millions of times very easily.

That said if someone is interested in a specific target or small set of targets, this is a really stealthy way of compromising a system. I would be shocked if every major international spy agency hasn't at least tried this.
