the product produced by the producer operating in a violently censorious state has complied with censorship in the production of the product? omg, stop the presses!

(nevermind the fact that if you spend half a second thinking through where said state exercises its power and control, the reasons for the things you observed should all but smack you in the face)

the word "commentariat" was invented too early, because it would be the absolute perfect choice with which to describe such posters

behind the bastards has also recently done two episodes on the clown, if you want to learn more things you'll hate

it’s also hilarious just how much the sentence structure is a shining beacon indicating sockpuppeting

wonder how many orange posters will eat this shit up uncritically because they’re too used to their shitty filters not shoving this shit out the door

sammy boi is giving up on the pretense that any of this was about enriching lives, and is now only focusing on the eyegrab (archive)

anyone wanna take bets on how much pearlclutching surprisedpikachu we'll see

imagine dropping into the takes lounge for techs, and instead pouting

but also holy fuck this is the second "waaaaaaah just you wait until you grow up" we've had recently, wtf. are the promptfans okay?

years ago on a trip to nyc, I popped in at the aws loft. they had a sort of sign-in thing where you had to provide email address, where ofc I provided a catchall (because I figured it was a slurper). why do I tell this mini tale? oh, you know, just sorta got reminded of it:

they just admitted to security fraud for not maximizing profits

what the fuck kind of comment is this

you know what

I'll do you the courtesy of an even mildly thorough response, despite the fact that this is not the place and that it's not my fucking job

one of the literal pillars of security intrusions/research/breakthroughs is in the field of exploiting side effects. as recently as 3 days ago there was some new stuff published about a fun and ridiculous way to do such things. and that kind of thing can be done in far more types of environments than you'd guess. people have managed large-scale intrusions/events by the simple matter of getting their hands on a teensy little fucking bit of string.

there are many ways this shit can be abused. and now I'm going to stop replying to this section, on which I've already said more than enough.

so you start by claiming that you don't think there's any problematic security potential, follow it up by clarifying that you actually have no fucking understanding of how any of it could work and might matter, and then you get annoyed at the response? so rude, indeed!

sure hope you're not in charge of security anywhere

what the fuck kind of reply is this
