I guess we could just call bankrupting anything from now on “going in the orange”. You know when you’re so far in the red your only choice is to turn into a fascist and begin killing immigrants you’re probably in the orange

In other news it appears that Andrew Tate does in fact have a penis despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary (any picture of him in a swim suit). Kind of a bad day to have a working memory

Well the ipo brought enshitification at max speed so that’s not surprising. They ostracize and remove users who contributed to communities for a decade+ and then replace the long standing communities with a generic, Reddit controlled alternative that only reposts all time top posts to gain traction. The only thing Reddit has going for it is the user content which is rapidly getting buried under AI slop. Worst of all (for the investor class) you can’t really see Reddit being turned into another right wing cesspool to bait young men into violence with … so there really seems to be less and less reason for Reddit to exist. Let’s hope by 2030 it’s like one of those websites people say “remember when we had Reddit …”

It’s going to be one of those things where you pay to remove the obvious ads already marked as promoted content. Then it will be replaced by endless feed of accounts posting ai slop that markets specific items/ideas to people. Why get paid to put Tide ads on side banner when the user can pay you to receive fake content promoting right wing ideology (in exchange for access to power in the us). There is no world in which Facebook, a tool to generate fake consensus, is not filled with advertisements. Paid or not paid, you’re being advertised to on there

How is combing civilians “war” ? And how can already bombing people “only signal potential return of war”. It’s Active genocide

And there it is, another giant flag signaling they don’t intend to ever give up the presidency. Otherwise any sane president would instantly invalidate everything trump did and send him to jail along with most of the administration

Imma be honest with ya, did not notice it at all lol now I see what you did there and no /s needed of course

Forgot the /s I assume

Wonder if he had a gun and shot them on being illegally detained there would be a case for him? Cause it’s starting to seem that green card holders should only travel with guns if possible in case they get abducted by overzealous morons in immigration. If immigration agents got shot for trying to abduct people they’d think fucking twice (if they had any brain cells in the first place)

Literally that. This is why when you meet a republican voter in real life they deserve nothing but shame and shit talk. Don’t interact in any other way and they’ll fucking get it eventually or they’ll do us all a favor and kill themselves. Wasted of oxygen

That’s because the us is so filled with morons they can’t even do authoritarianism right. Legit not a single fucking brain cell involved in right winger bullshit. It’s all just morons being morons

Can’t shield yourself from a Mario party 🤞

I can’t wait for all IT infrastructure in Texas to get compromised over this. The amount of excellent it and comp sci guys that are furries is staggering. And there are a few online collectives that can and will do damage to personal and government entities over shit like this

Legit fuck meta I hope somebody Mario parites with zuck

Everyone here mentioning billionaires and missing the point that the Russian agent in charge is just doing his best to deliver any and all assets to Russia. Sanctions getting lifted just as the fire sale on American assets begins right before the civil unrest. If you’re a Russian dictator you could not have planned it better. Republicans are seriously the dumbest mother/sister fuckers on the planet. I can’t even believe how fucking stupid you’d have to be to hold “conservative views”. Like it does not compute how you can be that dumb

Wow lot of tech illiterate people in this thread. Jesus Christ what a waste of time

It’s not an IT fix for HR problem. It’s literally just a best practice in IT security and has absolutely nothing to do with people. It’s a priciple of least required access. It’s not just for website filters, it applies to all aspects of security. In this case, it’s to prevent fishy websites being visited by accident - for example your finger slips and you misspell a company website address and all of a sudden it redirects you to a phishing version of Microsoft SSO login portal you always use to sign in to work. You didn’t notice it and you input credentials compromising your system.

These websites are rampant, constantly finding new ways to social engineer ways for people to accidentally visit them and can’t be added to a filter as fast as they pop up. That’s why you block by default. It’s a lot easier to make a list of websites required for your work than to exclude every potentially harmful website that’s getting generated magnitudes faster than any internal company portal.

This is a very simple example of applying the “least privilege” security principle. It’s akin to you not leaving your front door open and unlocked just in case one of your friends drops by, but instead giving the friend a set of keys and locking your door.

I should note that I don’t think that’s what musk is doing to our government but since you seemed to have misunderstood what the security principle is actually meant for I wanted to add some context.

I find it so hard to have good messaging on this topic because we first have to convince half this country that helping others is a virtue not a weakness. How do we convince a deeply selfish population that helping neighbors and keeping our nation healthy and educated are not “communist plots to make everyone poor” but just basics of a successful society. I can argue politics all day but once someone thinks empathy is a weakness or a sin, I just don’t know what to say anymore. We need a fundamental societal shift and that has to start locally I think.

Just your average extortion scam ran at country wide scale. The motivator is literally pay or die… that’s just mafia with extra steps.

Restricting websites and whitelisting the ones you’re supposed to have access to is literally like one of the fundamental rules of it security. What are you talking about?

I don’t think this particular case was about security but pretending that block-by-default is not a good security practice is dishonest.
