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)

you don’t understand how technology companies money. they’re not always working

I'd pipe up and go "uhhh hey prof, aren't you being paid to, like, impart knowledge?"

(I should note that I have an extremely deficient fucks pool, and do not mind pissing off fuckwits. but I understand it's not always viable to do)

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

I’ll take “comments posted with extremely definite and concrete knowledge of current operator spend and market dynamics” for 2c, Alex

why.. did you.. screenshot.. the post.. with a bunch of text blacked out.. ?

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
