The Git command is whatever, pretty basic and stuff i have done forever but i am glad i clicked because ended up going down the rabbithole of the Wikileaks it was sourced from

Some unhinged stuff there. Like the CIA having a project called "Fine Dining" which was basically a catalog of apps that could be put on a USB drive to hide malicious code.

A case officer picks a cover app from a list of 24: VLC, Chrome, Notepad++, 2048, Breakout. Plug in the USB. Cover app opens. Exfiltration runs silently behind it. Target walks back in and the officer can just say "oh was just playing some games on this machine"

 help



How is that unhinged? Sounds like pretty normal spy craft?

Like unhinged was everything to do with MKULTRA which eventually became just randomly drugging people's coffee with LSD.


If someone else is messing with my computer, it doesn't really matter if he claims that he only played games. They could have done what ever else and still opened the game at the end, this is just a way to make that process smoother.
