Digit Warfare Lyric Video

Did my best to make a lyric video with not only what I could make out, but also with what I have seen others post in various places online (which definitely helped with all the dutch since my dutch is very limited). I would take all of track 6's lyrics with a huge grain of salt since I did not see anyone post lyrics to that one and the bass is quite something lol I wrote the best lyrics I could either make out or guess lol

Business wants to flatten human-online engagement for business aims. This is the algorithm's prime function—not delivering you the content you want, when you want it.

So, the solution is to up the ante. Send backwash chaotic metrics. Do big loud gay throttle. You can literally choose to go against the online grain anytime you want.

Example: You love tea. OK. Identify indie tea brand that's super ethics. Put them on blast as hard possible online and in search. Get 5 friends (who get 5 friends) to do this. This helps them.

But also, bidnid ppl do competitive analysis. big shitty tea brand says "huh, why is trending?" big tea brand go "how can i do that. wait."

and if you picked the right indie tea brand, only logical answer for bigboi is "consumer like ethical tea. i...oops." and when big brand tries to only LOOK like tiny tea brand, you call bullshit no buy

you do not give social media signals to big bad mean tea brand. you screencap if you gotta and use asterisk or whatever. all the while, applying pressure to uplift cool indie tea brand and cool little guys like them.

this is legit how online commerce and digital analytics works.

1 person uplifting cool indie ethical brand becomes 2. then 10. then 100. then 1000. then 100,000 until big bidnid fucks have to go "and i oop." if they want market share, they will have to evolve or you will ignore them like an annoying bug.

MORE THAN 90'000 CYBER ATTACKS ON RUSSIAN ELECTION RESOURCES REPELLED ON FIRST DAY OF VOTING

More than 90k cyber attacks on Russian voting resources were repelled on the first day of voting in the Russian Federation's Presidential elections, according to the Chief of the Solar Group, Igor Lyapunov, a subsidiary of Rostelecom, Russia's largest provider of digital services.

Reporting on the cyber attacks said that this equated to 8 times the number of cyber attacks attempted on the Unified Voting Day of the previous year.

“Of course, yesterday a very large number of attacks and attempted attacks occurred on our resources - more than 90 thousand cyber attacks were carried out on the resources of election portals, on the resources of the Central Election Commission, on remote electronic voting, on the resources of State Services," Lyapunov told reporters with the Russian news agency Ria Novosti.

"This is a large number, which is eight times higher the number of cyber attacks that were recorded last year on Single Voting Day. All these attacks were repelled," Lyapunov added.

The Solar Group chief recounted a large cyber attack that occured mid-day against the digital election portal (DEG) which entered through the application portal, emulating requests from other users of the DEG, with a peak of more than 2.5 million requests per second. Pointing to the attack, Lyapunov noted that "of course, such a load caused delays on the portal."

Within an hour of the cyber attack, a team with the Solar Group managed to process and block the hack, while more than 100 fake phishing resources with a similar profile to the remote electronic voting platform, and the Central Election Commission website, managed to be processed and blocked by their teams on the first day of voting.

“If in the first two months of this year - January, February, we blocked about 60 such resources (phishing - ed.), then yesterday more than 100 such fake resources were blocked. These are portals similar to DEG, these are portals similar to The Central Election Commission, these are similar portals that talk about exit polls - this is all great counteraction to information attacks,” Lyapunov told Ria Novosti.

“Of course, when we talk about such an unprecedented level of cyber attacks, we must understand that the collective West is fighting against us. We see attacks from Ukraine , from IP addresses of Western Europe , North America . And, of course, in terms of the level of professionalism of cyber attacks, we can understand that the most professional, special groups working in our country work," Lyapunov concluded.

Voting for the President of the Russian Federation has been scheduled for three days spanning March 15th, 16th and 17th, with most voting expected to occur on the last day of voting. Current President, Vladimir Putin is expected to win by a substantially large margin, according to opinion polls conducted prior to voting.

Slapshot // The Last Laugh

Amazon’s data center disruption in the Middle East has caused significant damage to key industries, including banking, aviation and stock trading — demonstrating how one type of conflict can affect a variety of industries, leading to the evolution of warfare beyond just attacking military installations. The weekend incident involved three Amazon web service (AWS) Center facilities in the Middle…

Is Traditional War Dead — or Just Rebranded?

Are we past the era of bombs, boots, and drone strikes? Maybe. But not because we’ve become more peaceful — just more efficient.

Why nuke a city when you can collapse its power grid and watch the lights, water, hospitals, commerce — and society — all flicker offline? Remember when a rogue Windows update brought a third of the world’s industrial systems to a standstill? That wasn’t warfare. That was a preview.

Modern conflict isn’t fought on battlefields. It’s fought in code, supply chains, infrastructure, and perception.

And what about information?

Weaponised misinformation is no longer a Cold War tactic — it’s business-as-usual. Traditional media is saturated with bias, funded by the highest bidder, dressed in headlines that are actually ads. In Australia, entire news segments blur the line between reporting and native advertising. Journalism has become a product — and we’re the ones being sold.

Then there’s the algorithm: our supposed gateway to truth. But whose truth? Curated by whom? Funded by what? When your feed is built by unseen commercial interests, your worldview becomes a subscription model.

Now enter AI — systems trained on the data of our broken information ecosystem.

Can we really expect neutrality from machines built on human bias? Even the purest dataset is tainted by its source — culture, ideology, power.

Should we be able to audit what trains AI? Yes. Will we? That depends on whether transparency serves those in control.

Because we’re not in the Information Age anymore — that’s old tech. We’ve entered the AI Age — a time when digital systems no longer just store knowledge, but shape it, interpret it, and replace our need to think critically at all.

So what comes next?

Does AI fade like 3D TVs and holograms — hyped, then shelved? Or does it become our bridge to something post-terrestrial — guiding a civilisation too damaged to stay on Earth, but too stubborn to end here?
