Do Google engineers get off on writing software that’s only compatible within their own little world, then offering it as some de facto standard?

Google Cloud had a ton of these that make it arbitrarily hard to use.

It was outsourced to the guy who ran Nazi concentration camps to build ballistic missiles to bomb London with.

Okay, that explains Trump, but Biden?

We stayed up to watch it here across the pond, made it to 10 minutes.

Seriously, WTF is going on over there? How are these two people the top candidates to represent 380 million people?

In either case, it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy, since only the poor would remain in a food desert, if you have money, you have options.

Some people have it as their only choice due to living in a food desert. Imagine how fucked up is that.

That’s the ecosystem. WordPress itself is pretty basic, these things attack plugins, and their often not-very-experienced creators and users. The thing with WordPress is that this kind of vulnerability comes with the problem space, not the particular solution. If there was a different product in the same space, it would not fare better by default.

Also, I’d bet that a ton of CVEs are filed for C++ libraries, yet nobody is harping on about how insecure C++ is.

There’s a huge industry of people making wordpress sites who shouldn’t.

And this is why I hate the state of the whole hacking scene and that now nation states are also carrying out en masse attacks. Everyone should be free to make a site on Wordpress or whatever. If they can’t, that’s how we get everyone on like 3 corporate platforms like Facebook.

I’d guess it’s not because of the inherent insecurity of WordPress, but the sheer size of the ecosystem and the fact that like 40% of the Internet is WordPress sites.

I do like Mull, but I’m also uninformed and I don’t use my mobile browser all too much.

It means, at least in the golang world, that they keep a copy of your source for themselves and use it for builds. They don’t pull from the public repo every time they build their stuff, so malicious code could only get in with new versions, but they check for that.

Say that again after you sit the same IT exams as I did.

Wonder which side is being taken here…

“2020 snuck up on us,” Snelling acknowledged in a recent Tribune interview. “Let’s tell the cold, hard truth. We did not have the level of preparedness to deal with something that was that random that popped up on us.”

“We were murdering people so often on the street in broad daylight, we didn’t know it would be that one specific murder that has some repercussions.”

And Netanyahu let Hamas do this by intentionally weakening their border security before Oct 7, despite there being an anniversary of the last intifada, and despite being told by multiple countries that an attack is in the works. He also had a hand in funding Hamas against the PA. And he is also holding on to power undemocratically, as he is postponing an election he would most likely lose if not for the current “war”.

They have a symbiotic relationship, neither could really exist without the other. Just to be clear, what Hamas does does not justify what Likud does, and what Likud does does not justify what Hamas does.

Also, I don’t think I have the information to really cast either of them “the worse one”. Both organizations have genocidal maniacs leading them, and I agree with the ICC prosecutor who wants to cite the leadership of both for genocide. Saying one is worse would be relativizing the deaths of either the Israeli people murdered by Hamas, or the Palestinian civilians murdered by the IDF.

Except we would grab loans from our banker friends who are also in on the scheme, and use some of that money to pay taxes and buy some congresscritters to avoid further taxes. The banker guys would then grab some loans themselves, preferably also from each other, as they slowly repackage the whole thing and then sell it to retirement funds to make it everyone else’s problem. /s

I do in fact have empathy for them as well. Hamas and Likud are both to blame for this, equally.

Not an excuse, what you’re saying is also true.

The objective of both Likud and Hamas are that the situation does not normalise in the region, they want people to die so they stay relevant politically. Each dead civilian - and to a smaller degree, each dead soldier - is a win for both Hamas and Likud, and a loss for the Israeli and the Palestinian people.

In which we all participate whether we like it or not.

The guy was part of the existing team. The team has 12 members who constantly train together, 11 women, and this guy. They all qualified, but the Olympics accepts 8-member teams, so 4 people had to wait it out. May was one of these four on the decision of the coach.

To be honest, there are two equally true readings of the story, one saying that despite the fresh opportunity for inclusion, the female coach decided to exclude the only male member from the selection, or you could say that the 45 year old guy, despite most likely being one of the top artistic swimmers of the world who arguably has done a lot for the sport both as a sportsman and as a coach himself, may not have been in the top 8 of the team where the lowest age is 17.

If all the genders were swapped, there would be one group saying that the male coach excluded the only woman on the team, and another one pointing out that how good you are should matter more than what’s in your pants.

The people killed had families, friends, who will be raging for revenge, bolstering the ranks of organizations like Hamas.

Hamas won this one, they don’t care how many Palestinians die, they want more people hating Jews. The people who lost this fight are the dead and their relations, and humanity at large.
