Saudi Arabia accused of modifying official Cop29 negotiating text | News of changes to usually non-editable document ‘risks placing climate summit in jeopardy'

Yikes. These people have no concept of operational security, if they think sending something as PDF prevents it from being edited.

Implying it wasn't already a fucking joke

imagine watching over Cop29 and thinking it wasn't empty and performative enough

I am reminded of that one guy who retyped an entire credit card agreement with clauses in his favour, formatted it to look like the original, then signed it and sent it back.

But at that point the stories diverge because he got away with quite a lot of "abuse" before they cancelled his card... and were required to pay his cancellation fee.

... or do they, because this Cop29 story seems to suggest that the Saudis have not only done this in the past, but they've been given secret permission to do so.

Not gonna suggest github because you know Microsoft, but you get the idea.
