Now, according to BBC, Wikileaks has released another incredible piece of [the CIA] arsenal. Wikileaks reportedly released the code that the CIA uses to disguise the origins of a computer virus as a part of Vault 7.

These hacking tools reportedly include decoy languages like Russian to disguise the national origins of the cyber attack or malware. The release may disrupt the CIA's current operations and reveal previous cyber operations.

    even psychopaths need places to sound off. If they do so here, we can refute their ridiculous assertions and laugh at them.

    When you spend your time constantly re-litigating the same old shit that keeps the conversation from developing into anything better.

    Otherwise known as the "don't wrestle with pigs, you just get dirty and they enjoy it" principle.

    Thank you for telling me what I should or shouldn't say. I really don't know what I would do without you.

    You're a godsend, friend.

      This has nothing to do with YOU and everything to do with the principle of letting the shittiest smear their shit all over soylent over and over again.

      Do you want soylent to be a site where the worst of us are enabled to pull down everyone else, or do you want soylent to be a site of thoughtful discourse?

      Guess what the smart people do when they realize the pigs are just getting everyone dirty They leave. And then all you are left with are the pigs.

        If it has nothing to do with me, why are you involving me in your little tantrum?

        Don't like the discourse? Perhaps you could improve it? From what I've seen so far, you have added exactly zero to the quality of discourse.

        I suggest you just browse at 2+ and leave it at that.

          WTF is wrong with you dude?
          You stated a premise, I responded to the premise.
          'You' were never invoked.
          And the only one here having a tantrum is you.
          By far.

            unsure which a non cow is which, but if the same:
            1. 'WTF' is shorthand for coarse discourse, should such lowlifes who use it be banned to keep SN pure and unadulterated ? ? ?
            2. is censorship for the sake of neatness a good quality or a bad quality, discuss among yourselves...
            3. YOUR words -though void of the four letter variety- are offensive to me (yet i not only allow them, but defend your right to say them); who 'wins' that censorship contest ? ? ?
            who is the arbiter ? ? ?'
            when one side allows all speech, and one allows only approved speech; who is more free ? ? ?
            freedom means the freedom to fuck up, so buck up, and suck it up, buttercup...

              Your response is a shallow misdirection.
              The question is, what do you value more?
              Wallowing around in the mud, constantly having the same arguments about self-evident truths and never getting beyond them because freedom.
              Or building on an accepted baseline of common ground so as to get to a deeper understanding of issues.

              Like I said originally, the smart people who want insightful discussion will go elsewhere when they realize how non-productive the first option is.
              You can call them snowflakes to make yourself feel better. But in the end the smart people will still leave and all you'll be left with is the mud and the pigs.

              What is the point of 'free speech' anyway if the only ideas heard are the lowest common denominator? Is eternal september really your highest aspiration?
