Hacking is just getting access: social engineering, shoulder surfing, blagging, exploiting known defaults, etc. What counts is what works.

If you were a hacker, why would you use complex technical methods to gain unauthorised access if you could just guess the password? The latter is not just easier in this case but also much less likely to be detected.

If you come over here you shouldn't learn the effing language.

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

I'm on various lists, including:

- genocide enthusiasts
- Zionist war apologists
- assholes (bit general, not necessarily wrong)
- Nazi, Zionist, MAGA, racist, misogynist and other fash

Neighbours reported concerns that appear to be nothing more than he had become a devout Muslim. Who would do this for any other religion?

And they did this in "2020 or 2021", we find out in the seventh paragraph.

Answer: Twitter is not, in fact, still around. It was bought by Elon Musk in October 2022. Since then the platform has renamed to "X" and there have been substantial changes in its features, culture, membership and moderation policies.

Sorry to hear about your coma. Glad you're back.

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.
