heavy sigh

The joke is that there are only two of you in the world still using an S10.

I’m sorry but humans refusing to save the life of another human because of an obtuse law is unconscionable. They should have done what needed to be done and let the lawyers sort it out later.

Homelessness in Japan is illegal, so people turn Internet cafe pods into “homes”.

The main thing that gives X relevance is sports media and corporate communications. If they all move elsewhere, X would turn into an echo chamber like Truth Social.

The article described the hackers having access to what’s called Lawful Intercept capabilities. In the telecom equipment I’ve worked with, this takes the form of voice call tapping, full packet capture of data, or just a capture of connections made.

If they had unfettered access to this functionality, they could have spied on anyone at length. Government officials, C suite people at companies…anyone.

Right? After he got shot at, he went on some spiel about how the rhetoric needs to be reigned in because the democrats saying he’s a threat to democracy is inciting violence. As usual, whatever suits Trump in the moment is the way forward!

Why isn’t this system air gapped from the internet?

Their values are aligned, theirs strategies are aligned, and so their efforts are aligned.

Ender’s Game was prescient text, regardless of Orson Scott Card’s personal beliefs.

Locke and Demosthenes are now armies of manipulative bots (but often real humans), shaping political discourse throughout the world. The Internet gave mind control powers to people with money, ambition, or both. We saw it with the Bernie Sanders and Trump movements in 2016 on Reddit, all too clearly for those who lived through an era where bullshit detection was a critical skill.

I was once fairly defeatist on this subject: the bad guys won, got Trump elected, and kicked off a new era of 80s conservatism that demonized progressive values like environmental conservation, freedom of choice in a number of matters, and equality.

But now, I’m starting to see young people stand up to their boomer relatives at Thanksgiving and bring facts and logic to social media discussions. And I have regained some hope that we will once again find a way to make the progressive “line go up“. Our society seems to swing like a pendulum between the right and left, over decades, and it feels like the Trump era was a swing too violent for most of us. It’s time to swing back.

This will surely plug all the holes.

These click bait statements hackers use are so effective. Women especially are targeted by the “we hacked your computer and have scandalous pictures and videos of your private time last night!” I can’t wait for the people responsible for this shit to be behind bars.

Am I missing it? There’s seemingly no write up on what the vulnerability actually is, they’re essentially just saying that some poorly managed SSH servers get hacked and then the attackers do stuff.

Edit: oops, reread it. Well, this isn’t really a huge surprise. Just terribly simple root credentials and remote root login enabled.

Maybe they’re handing out FIDO2 hardware tokens during the in person meeting.

Did they alert authorities? Hope you’re doing better.

They are eating the pets of the people who live there!

Well there are some of those, but they run in parallel for the most part, which is very digestible. They have done a great job on this show.

Ok, and maybe the cop thinks he is trying to load a gun with the window up. Lots of what ifs.

No normal citizen would roll up their window on the police. Give me a fucking break.

Secretly my ass. Anyone with a brain can see the same thing happening on Facebook, popular podcasts, and YouTube as what we see Lemmy from HB and ml.

It already was like 10 years ago.
