Who would have guessed there’d be actual evidence that brain damage makes you more Republican.

Seeing “the source is available here on GitHub”, “the project was forked and is now maintained as (other name)”, etc. after most of these really helps show the difference with Google. Well that and the length of the article, Google has far more deaths under their belt.

Wow Matt really looking bad on this one. This just reeks of trying to push out a major business competitor to wordpress.com and abusing control over wordpress.org to do it.

Ah, I remember this controversy when the game launched. That person later admitted to modifying the meshes to make them fit better because they hated Palworld for “glorifying animal abuse”.

Wow, come on, who would really think that?

3% is far too low.

Not to mention that ads are a prime vector for malware and spyware (well, more spyware on top of the ad vendor itself).

I thought NPR left Twitter when Musk had them labeled as “state controlled media”

I get that it’s not the point of the article or really an argument being made but this annoys me:

We could blame United or Delta that decided to run EDR software on a machine that was supposed to display flight details at a check-in counter. Sure, it makes sense to run EDR on a mission-critical machine, but on a dumb display of information?

I mean yea that’s like running EDR on your HVAC controllers. Oh no, what’s a hacker going to do, turn off the AC? Try asking Target about that one.

You’ve got displays showing live data and I haven’t seen an army of staff running USB drives to every TV when a flight gets delayed. Those displays have at least some connection into your network, and an unlocked door doesn’t care who it lets in. Sure you can firewall off those machines to only what they need, unless your firewall has a 0-day that lets them bypass it, or the system they pull data from does. Or maybe they just hijack all the displays to show porn for a laugh, or falsified gate and time info to chaos for the staff.

Security works in layers because, as clearly shown in this incident, individual systems and people are fallible. “It’s not like I need to secure this” is the attitude that leads to things like our joke of an IoT ecosystem. And to why things like CrowdStrike are even made in the first place.

It’s still blinking 12:00 after a power outage and needs reset.

Oh don’t worry, they’re going to try and kill that too before it hurts them too much, and with the audacity of calling it the “American Privacy Rights Act”. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/06/eff-opposes-american-privacy-rights-act

How about pass and enforce strong digital privacy protection laws you fucking cowards. When other countries spy on us it’s scary and bad, but for US companies? Best we can do is ban porn and demand backdoors to stop E2EE messaging.

For all of Trump’s fascism and corruption he was at least so amazingly incompetent at it. His actions brought to light a lot of shortcomings and vulnerabilities in the system we can now more effectively watch for as his slightly smarter cohorts try and exploit them.

Too bad half the time “watch in horror” is about all we end up doing.

Based on their other comments I’m pretty sure that was a [citation needed] on there being any examples of the GOP actually helping people.
