Summary
A vulnerability in the new OPM email server allowed anyone to send mass messages to federal employees, exposing poor cybersecurity.
Over 13,000 NOAA staff received spam and vulgar messages, including crude jokes about Trump and bizarre newsletters, causing widespread outrage.
The breach resulted from an overhaul led by Elon Musk that installed underqualified personnel and an insecure in-house system, sparking a class-action lawsuit for cybersecurity failures.
The unsecured system also inadvertently revealed ties to Project 2025 and a plan to gather government employee data as Trump’s loyalists reshape federal operations.
I love dismantling this take people have on Harris.
You are a bad poster. You didn’t convince me with your argument.
That statement, by your logic, is not an opinion - it’s “truthful”. Disregarding the validity of whatever argument you’re making, if you judge it by its convincingness, ignores the intelligence or bias of the audience. Then, it’s possible that ANY argument is bad.
Since you, FaceDeer, failed to convince me, Katana314, of your argument, you are a bad Lemmy poster.
In other words, to dismantle that bolded statement above, you have to recognize that voters, themselves, bear some blame for not being receptive to logical takes.
The purpose of a candidate isn’t to convince every single person to vote for them. It’s to convince enough of them to vote for them (and in the right places) to achieve victory in the election.
I don’t know how it looks on your instance, but on mine I’ve got twice as many upvotes on the comment you’re responding to than I do downvotes. If I was a candidate in an election that would be a pretty good result!
However, I’m not a candidate in an election. I’m a participant in a discussion forum. The mere fact that you’re engaging with my arguments and discussing them in a rational manner makes this a successful comment, and me a successful commenter.
