I just stated that I wasn’t interested in anything specifically, don’t have any one solution in mind. Not that it’s bad per se.

Beautiful article thanks for sharing.

This highlights the problem that inherently exists in nature: feedback loops.

Repeated exposure to similar information or signals amplifies/entrenches existing patterns and can lead to distortion, narrowing frequencies, and reduced adaptability.

Its why these people turn into racists, sexists, abusers, etc. they get what they want all the time simply because they have money and power and know how to game systems. So they learn on those narrow pathways that they get what they want when they want.

They learn a reality that doesn’t exist for the greater whole because they themselves are not living as the greater whole does. None of this is rocket science.

I have to conclude that Extreme wealth threatens the stability of our society. Not arguing for communism or anything else. Every path has its hazards and shortcuts. Just pointing out problems and opening the floor to discussion of the problem and potential solutions

Is this satire or

You’ve discovered an artifact!! Yaaaay

If you ask GPT to do this in a more math questiony way, itll break it down and do it correctly. Just gotta narrow top_p and temperature down a bit

See!!! I knew this shit was gonna happen. Check out my post from a while back - on chrome and edge, when you hover over the links, they resolve instead of showing you the top link.

This means they can setup infra and evade scanning to redirect probes to legit sites like retailers, bank homepages, etc.

Not at all what I meant. The premise was that this wouldn’t happen if they were being paid fairly. Supply chain attacks happen with or without fair pay.

Look at what happened with the XZ backdoor. Whether or not they’re getting paid just means a different door is opened.

The root of the problem is that we blindly trust anyone based on name-brand and popularity. That has never in the existence of technology been a reliable nor an effective means of authentication.

If it’s not outright buying out companies it will be vulnerabilities/lack of appropriate management, if it’s not vulns it’ll be insider threat.

These are problems we’ve known about for at least a decade+ and we’ve done fuck all to address the root of the problem.

Never trust, always verify. Simple as that.

… he made plenty off the product and made additional when he sold. Devs ability to make money has nothing to do with companies coming in and injecting malware to the service.

Any threat actor group with sufficient funds from various campaigns, spyware, etc could use said funds to buy out a dev, owner, etc.

Not to mention state-sponsored threat actors. This is the perfect example of distracting from the fact of what happened.

Good catch! Missed that one

Because it exposes root and system internals. Biggest reason android devices get compromised/hacked and your fun, quirky android becomes a link in a bot net peddling god knows what including attacks against people and other illegal activities and media

Edit: this is not a bulleted list, every line must start with an asterisk, just in case your instance doesn’t update edits made to comments quickly.

Edit2: added new IOCs

Edit3: MOAR IOCS FOR THE HOARDE

This has almost nothing to do with what you’re talking about.

A Chinese company bought the domain and the service in February and are attacking people in highly specific conditions. (Mobile devices at specific times)

This is an attack. Not negligence, not an uh oh oopsie woopsie fucky wucky. Attack.

Intuit uses pollyfill… and a lot of people use that service.

Cloudflare and fastly wouldn’t be setting up mirrors if it weren’t still being used, I can guarantee that.

We can tell. Good luck with 0 people respecting you out there kid

Do you have an easier time catching flies with vinegar or with honey?

Probably could’ve worded this better.

Maybe a “What have you all setup to remove these features, how are you running windows, etc “

Best to lead with pure curiosity and questions than to lead with assumptions. We don’t know what we don’t know, and that also means that the depth of what we don’t know could be surprisingly deep.

Stay curious!

Discord: our platform is being abused to peddle malware via c2 channels, file repositories, etc. So to combat this problem, we’re going to ruin the customer experience!

I get what you mean, to live under a system which has requirements, means you must meet those requirements.

However to be stuck in that mindset perpetually is a sickness. There reaches a point where you must say, this is enough. I am comfortable and those that I’m responsible for/care for are provided for when they need it most. We have to stop ourselves and reassess our condition to determine if we’re straying too far. Human psychology has plenty of vulns and desensitization/growing too comfortable is most definitely one of them.

Greed is a pretty globally held sin in most religions and appears to be a fairly objective vice imo. I think too many people assign value to salary and materialistic things - but the reality is that you may be infinitely more valuable to a smaller company that pays you say 60k max than to a company that’d pay you 100k and could afford more but will just as soon lay you off because they think they can just buy more people. Value != only how much you make

Yeah but then you’d be a POS that nobody likes.

Money doesn’t buy real friends. Doesn’t buy real love. Doesn’t buy real happiness.

Just a bunch of hyper inflated plastic.

Knew it before you even said it

Lemmy.ml bans anyone and anything that has to do with even slightly anti-Russia or anti China sentiments.

Posted a comment the other day that China was still supporting Russia who were killing innocent people and got banned, then one of the admins responded, and then my comment was removed.

Seems like a super good area to have open and honest discussions and debates.

I’m still waiting for modular phones to be more mainstream. Tired of the ewaste. Tired of the anti consumer practices. Tired of planned obsolescence.
