Corporate malware is corporate malware.

Water is wet.

Things tend to fall downward.

-yawn-

Thread? Zigbee?

No no no, you want either Parasol, GwimGwab, or Hamtato.

Haven’t you heard of them?

Alexa, what is an ‘attack surface’?

… hrm …

Alexa, widen scope of ‘threat actors’.

Oh.

Oh dear.

Yes, reddit is a cult, the hivemind aint called the hivemind for nothing.

Thought terminating cliches?

In group out group dynamics?

Its a cult, spend your time on other things.

Non zero chance theres a bot network set up to do precisely the behavior you are encountering, triggers upon mention of lemmy.

Reddit is well known to have been host to many, many other botnets doing the same kinds of shit and worse… there are entire guidebooks on how to drown discussions in bullshit and drama, how to divide communities into factions based around a popularity contest between the most well known members, who will then experience a manufactured kerfuffle, etc, how to manufacture a two sided conflict and ‘conclude’ it back along the lines of a ‘sensible’ compromise/middle ground, etc.

You might try asking jordanlund about it, seeing as he has a decade of experience being a corpo social media manager for Adobe, on reddit.

(That last part is a joke, i doubt he would respond well to that line of questioning lol)

Ah, TIL, thank you, I didn’t see that!

So how does this work if a convicted stalker just lives or works within a few km of where a victim lives or works?

I did not know that, but that entirely makes sense.

I’m American; if we had a ‘pirate party’ type party, it would be considered a terrorist organization by our pedophile president and his cult of closeted christian racist theocrat morons.

But uh yeah… world economy and society broadly is hugely run by tech and tech companies, you’d think a more nuanced and informed discussion about tech law and policy would accompany that… but nope!

You can’t.

Windows will rewrite your boot partition, when it feels like it.

It can be commanded to do this remotely, also. Its called a Windows Update. And Windows buries itself below Ring 0 via Pluton/TPMv2.

It does this because the NSA likes being able to keep tabs on everyone.

The precise/exact way this works is hardware/setup dependant, and changes every 6 months or so, ish, but yeah this bootloader fuckery nonsense has been going on for years now, in dual boot setups, and there really is not a plausible explanation for this continuing as a persistent ‘problem’, other than Windows makes NSA backdoors into your entire system, or breaks shit while trying to.

Dual booting is dumb if you value system security and stability.

Howabout this:

All social media algorithms that direct content flow to users are required to be open source, in perpetuity, at least for viewing, so that actual unbiased folks can audit them. Maybe make a new liscense class for this, if need be, so companies can still own the code, but it just has to be publically reviewable.

Would you install blackbox code on your pc?

Well, would you let a blackbox determine what information is fed into your own brain?

Mandate systemic transparency.

In today’s episode of “fucking obviously, duh,”… fine-tuned digital brainwashing algorithms do in fact have generally ‘bad’ effects on the human mind.

Some say they may even be addictive and habit forming!

More at 11!

Yep. They’re gonna get big mad about that.

His latest video was exploring ‘anti-baking soda’ as a potential novel way to do CO2 capture at scale.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=fvxNmStSC3M

He also ‘got his start’ before Anti-SJW youtube was a thing. His first series that popped off, back in the day, the day being 2008ish, was "Why do People Laugh at Creationists?'.

I don’t know that he ever … explicitly collabed with Sargon or any of those guys, but yeah he did exist in roughly the same genre-space, around the GamerGate era of i dunno, 2013 to 2015, ish?

While he has covered Elon a lot, thats because he started calling bullshit on Elon’s nonsense since way, way before that was common… he’s been tooting his own horn a bit, following around 10 years of Elon’s trolls telling him he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, and well, it turned out he did.

He literally has a personal grudge against Elon Musk.

For all his faults, he is one of the oldest, OG youtubers, since damn near day 1, who is also still around, and hasn’t imploded.

His first vid is 19+ years old, so, 2007ish, and its calling out GWB as a war mongering liar.

All that being said, if you want a more recent youtube channel thats basically just mostly been tearing Musk to shreds, with science: Common Sense Skeptic.

By ‘more recent’ I mean they’ve only been around for 5 or 6 years, I think.

Zuck needs to be impaled, Vlad the Impaler style impaled. We need to make that a legal execution method, and then apply it to him.

If you think this is a joke, China and Vietnam literally execute CEOs they find guilty of massive financial crimes.

They’re more humane about it than impaling, but Zuck doesn’t deserve humanity.

Good troll, good boy.

See?

Laws are just made up too, just like money.

Hahahaahhah!

… then see my original point.

Go anywhere other than Best Buy.

Obligatory FUCK SPEZ

RIP Aaron.

If you own hardware that voids its own warranty when you open it up, you don’t own that hardware.

Same with cars.

Same with anything.

Updooted purely for dad joke lol

… exactly.
