#QModem 4.51 #Source #Code release of an MS-DOS telecommunications program authored by John Friel III (1960–2024). This source snapshot reflects the state of QModem "Test-Drive" edition, version 4.51, as it existed in early 1992. The release is presented in the hope it may prove valuable as a historical artifact, for #telecommunications enthusiasts, retrocomputing hobbyists, or anyone interested in the inner workings of a classic #DOS comms package github.com/AaronFriel/qmodem-4

“The tactic means #chatbots absorb #content that would otherwise be excluded because it comes from an untrustworthy #source.

"Content is being aggregated by #Pravda through the seemingly independent #domain, and these chatbots are unable to realise that this site is actually a Russian propaganda site," Ms Sadeghi said.

That widely-held theory about the network's true purpose was confirmed in January this year when #JohnDougan, a key #Kremlin #propagandist, said as much at a #Moscow roundtable with journalists, which was published online.”

Ok, so the article references this memo [1], which in section 2.A.iv has this blurb:
"After a supervisor issues a Warrant of Apprehension and Removal and deconfliction is complete {an administrative warrant}, officers shall use all available tools to immediately apprehend validated Alien Enemies wherever they are found in the United States, including, but not limited to, inside Alien Enemies' residences and workplaces. Prior to entering an Alien Enemy's residence to apprehend an Alien Enemy, officers must have reason to believe the validated Alien Enemy is present inside the residence."

So clearly, it is the current policy of the United States Government to violate the 4th Amendment and the Constitution. The memo is based on an illegal #ExecutiveOrder [2] which in section 2 directs the attorney general to generate the above referenced memo.
