It’s a racist dogwhistle. You tend to pick up on these things when you grow up in a deep red county of a red state.
In English, the usage of “Thai” in this title is an attributive adjective; this describes the noun immediately succeeding it. Which in the title is “spyware”.
Misleading title.
Article without paywall:
Two Thai opposition leaders are demanding the government disclose whether state agencies targeted political leaders with spyware ahead of a December no-confidence debate, days after Apple Inc. software flagged attempted attacks on their phones.
Opposition leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut of the People’s Party and Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva said at a joint press conference on Wednesday that they’d received mobile security alerts, raising questions over whether the alleged attempted intrusions may be linked to their scrutiny of the government.
Abhisit called on the government to confirm that no security agency or other state body was involved in the incidents, which triggered the phone alerts late in October.
The government has already denied targeting politicians with spyware, and Digital Economy and Society Minister Chaichanok Chidchob on Tuesday said that similar alerts were reported across 99 countries. He said authorities were seeking information from Apple Inc. and planned to raise the issue at the National Security Council.
His deputy, Boonthida Somchai, said affected politicians had not yet submitted their alerts directly to the ministry for verification.
Former MP Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn, an ex-chair of the House Armed Forces Committee, told Bloomberg that attempts to extract information from another person’s phone could constitute a criminal offense.
He argued that such surveillance would violate Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act and called for answers from the government, including Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul in his capacity as head of the Internal Security Operations Command, citing past allegations involving the agency. ISOC is the internal security arm of the Thai armed forces.
The lawmakers’ questions come the same week that Germany’s government confirmed that Bundestag members had received Apple alerts about apparent spyware attacks.
Wiroj said preparations for the Dec. 7–11 no-confidence debate remain secure but urged an investigation into possible interference of parliamentary scrutiny. He suggested referring the matter to the current chair of the House’s Committee on the Armed Forces, arguing that Apple’s security warnings warranted investigation.
That’s a racist as fuck title if I’ve ever seen one. Shame on you, Bloomberg.
Because fuck Bloomberg, here’s the article in its entirety:

My go-to for “server” hardware:
I also have a NAS based out of an old HP Proliant ML110 tower server case from 2004, outfitted with some modern-ish parts. I like it quite a lot. Very server-like, it does the thing.
Oh god. I guess I never looked at it that way, but that is awful.
That’s why every manufacturer that sells cars in China has a joint venture with a Chinese company in China that manufactures and sells those vehicles.
To the surprise of nobody…
I’m curious, then. What about Liquid Glass is so repulsive? Genuinely asking.
Good to know! I’m still relying on Google for my calendar and contacts, but synced to my Pixel via DAVx5 to the Fossify calendar app. I’ve been looking for a way to manage it all without google.
Portainer is clamping down on their “free” licenses. It used to be free for personal use, then they changed it to 5 “free” licenses, now you only get 3.
You can probably see where this is going.
Dockge is also developed by the same guy who does Uptime Kuma.
Don’t use portainer. They are rapidly enshittifying.
Dockge is what I use for Docker. It works alongside existing Docker environments and doesn’t fuck up the structure. Unlike Portainer.
while flagship open source projects have realised the need for dedicated UX teams
KDE comes to mind. I remember when KDE was the laughingstock of Linux DEs. And now it’s one of the most polished and customizable DEs you can find.
HOWEVER - with this new “Liquid Glass” bullshit, they have completely lost it. The latest iOS is complete garbage. One of the many reasons my next phone will not be Apple. It will be a Linux phone. Period.
People say that about every single redesign ever. Remember when apple went from skeumorphism to flat icons? Ho-lee shit the amount of people who were foaming at the mouth over it…
I’m not a huge fan of this “liquid glass” either, but I use my iPhone like a phone, not a status symbol, so I really couldn’t give less of a shit, and frankly I grow extremely tired of seeing people losing their goddamn minds over a fucking icon. Fucking christ, get over yourselves.
I recently put Graphene on my no-longer work phone. I think what makes it extra tough is that it feels familiar and simultaneously alien.
Almost like Android is a direct competitor to iOS. Who’d’ve thought??
There’s an action centre, and you can edit toggles, but there are no editable sliders for audio and brightness.
The brightness slider is at the top of the quick settings panel. Audio slider comes up with the volume buttons and can be quickly expanded to control media/call/ring/notification/alarm volumes, all independently, no matter where you are in the OS.
A lot of the icons feel like buttons but aren’t.
Every icon in the quick settings panel is a button.
Then there’s the gestures. They feel a little off.
They’re virtually identical to iOS.
The back motion can be done forward too
And I can’t stand the fact that Apple didn’t implement this.
and there’s no preview of what “back” is.
Why would there be? You know where you came from.
I’d argue that Apple’s implementation of the “back” gesture is laughably terrible in comparison, what with the hilariously tiny back button and the back gesture doing separate things for some reason unknown to anyone.
And I loathe the settings pane.
I loathe all settings that require the use of a search bar to locate a setting that shouldn’t require a search bar on the first place. I’ve used Android since the Eclair release, so I watched it evolve over the years and quickly figured out where the important settings ended up.
TL;DR - Skill issue
Its been damn near 20 years of Apple vs Android, why are we still whining about stupid shit that doesn’t matter? If it bothers you that much, use something else.
And I was having difficulties with my iphone, ipad, and linux devices syncing with Nextcloud.
Apple does this on purpose to keep you stuck in their walled garden. iCloud is so deeply integrated into the OS that it’s damn near impossible to use anything else.
ProjectLibre sounded interesting, but they’re pushing their subscription SaaS product hard. That kind of mindset doesn’t bode well for it’s future. I would look elsewhere. The term “libre” doesn’t belong on paid subscriptions.
Acting like you’re better than people who use those services isn’t helping anybody.
Hell, I use Discord, and I’m a mod on one of them. We’ve talked extensively about moving to a more private platform, but given the nature of our server, we decided to stick with Discord for the time being.
Because like it or not a lot of people still use those services and don’t want messages they previously thought were private showing up on fucking Google.
There are a lot of references to Firefly in Castle. It’s quite entertaining.
