When we use at&t’s phone lines or Microsoft’s operating system, we are implicitly relying on them to be secure.

But they’re not. Patch Tuesday exists for a reason. And it’s already, what, 20 years old?

I expect the FBI to take every reasonable precaution to protect investigations and yes that includes developing software.

Yeah NASA wasn’t out, loud, and proud about their Nazi employees at the time. Also, this isn’t then.

How much steroids can someone take?

I don’t really care because until The Problem is addressed, I will not support anything they do.

Someone: and they just hand over their SSN to you?

What kinda chip you got in there, a Dorito?

At this time, Meta’s Head of Public Policy was Joel Kaplan, a man whose previous work involved working as George W. Bush’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, as well as handling public policy and affairs for Energy Future Holdings, which involved three private equity firms buying Texas power company TXU for $45 billion and immediately steering it into bankruptcy due to the $38.7 billion in debt Energy Future Holdings was forced to take on as a means of acquiring TXU.

Jeff Horwitz reports in his book Broken Code that Kaplan personally intervened when Facebook’s health team attempted to remove COVID conspiracy movie Plandemic from its recommendation engine, and Facebook only did so once Roose reported that it was the most-engaged link in a 24 hour period.

Naturally, Meta’s choice wasn’t to “fix things” or “improve” or “take responsibility.” By the end of 2021, Meta had disbanded the team that ran CrowdTangle, and in early 2022, the company had stopped registering new users.

Ugh. I wish I could like SpaceX but FOR OBVIOUS REASONS i cannot. Same with Tesla, actually. I think a lot of the bullshit idiocy they’ve perpetrated would be directly tracable to said same reason.

But. It was not to be.

Pervert and Slut Behavior was my high school band’s name.

Well, that was a really long way to go around leaving them alone. I appreciate the effort not to just wipe them out absentmindedly.

Pathetic and evil. Disgusting.

RedNote’s Chinese name, Xiaohongshu, literally translates to “Little Red Book,” which seems like a direct reference to a book of quotes from Chinese communist leader Mao Tse-tung. But The Washington Post reported that the app is designed to be apolitical and its co-founder, Mao, maintains that the name instead pays “homage to the colors of his college,” Stanford Business School, and his former employer, Bain Capital.

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeetthefuckouttahere!

Oh you.
