Not really, lot of this is hyped up sales bullshit. The reality is that security software has been getting better and better. It’s not this ecosystem of “that matches this hash or IP” anymore. For the last decade ML has been used heavily. It doesn’t look for just the stuff it knows is bad, it looks for things that are out of place.

End of the day…you can’t fix everything and you can’t fix your users…but the script kiddies aren’t what to worry about, it’s the large gov backed groups. Those have always been the problem.

Sorry was making a joke, that under this admin, they’ll push them through, kinda like they do with the rent a cops at ICE.

He said 3-4 months lol

What are you talking about…all those tax breaks they need… otherwise they might not be able to pay the CEO their bonuses… I mean seriously think of those people for once. What are we supposed to do let them fail? No gotta bail them out when they fuck up.

If the Dems get power…they actually have to prosecute him. Which… hopefully happens but I’m not holding my breath for it.

I don’t want them to fade. I want them to split the gop so they lose all their control.

Yea lot of companies are filled to the brim with idiots running the show. They lose talent but they don’t care so long as the next quarter looks good on paper.

Get a P.O. Box way away from the office. Say you moved. Open bank account in county of said P.O box. Bam back to wfh…and you don’t have to move. If they ask why you still have your home, tell them your renting it out.

Ah yes…Fauci was the one misleading the public…not the turnip who was peddling bleach and fucking horse dewormer…

Ah, and my bad, when I said duplicates I should have said people creating new accounts to bypass the ban. Or was it done via IP as well?

O shit, that’s a lot of bans. How many are duplicates? I guess I’m still thinking about how small the fediverse is but that’s probably not true anymore.

India the country is not poor as fuck. It’s a nuclear power. Even after the west stripped it for profit, it still has absurds amount of wealth and resources.

So does pretty much every middle east country…and it’s consolidated at the top.

The other big difference is that while the power and money is consolidated to a segment of the population, that segment is very large compared to most countries.

Ratio wise, it’s probably less than you think. Remember India has 1.4 billion people.

And overall, you have the direction wrong. The middle east doesn’t export these people. The west accepts them as refugees. But because of the wealth of india, their refugees rarely get accepted. So the religous nutjobs still exist (I’ve worked with some), they just stay in country. They stone their own people for being gay, or refusing to marry their rapist and all that.

There are a good number of people from India all over the west though. I do agree that a lot of the EU takes in refugees at the expense of their own people though.

Gotta start at help desk. It’s basically how a huge portion of us started. It’s doing time.

Don’t forget they also have some code that tried to ddos db0 instance as well for anyone visiting it the rant page.

Yea but…1k+ users? That’s a massive list lol

His “I’m leaving and taking my ball” rant sounds like option two.

Considering the guy had a list of what looked like 1k+ users being blocked, which honestly confuses me how he managed to get that many users together. I don’t even remember most of the users comments after each post, let alone the massive list he had. His ego must be massive to create a curated list like that, which means he took issue with each one of us on that list or built a script that created it based from trigger words from our posts and comments… either way it’s not a good look.

Yeah? Assuming you’re not just being disingenuous, that’s entirely unrelated to your original accusation.

And no, not even close. My comment is because everything in this entire chain has been pointing out how western powers caused this. So please stop copping out and trying to suggest it’s not.

Ascribing a direct material cause to a terrorist attack is nowhere near the same as claiming it to be “fighting the good fight”. You’re attacking a view that doesn’t even exist here.

Which comes from the OP posting this:

People are people. They need resources to build proper lives. Lacking that, they believe they have to fight.

Aka, they don’t have the proper resources to build proper lives and need to fight to get that. So yes my reply of fighting the good fight fits here.

Anyway, since the rest of your replies here, including this one, are riddled with anecdotal bias, false equivalences and arguments from personal belief, I doubt I’ll be able to have anything comparable to a productive conversation with you, at least when it comes to this topic. Hopefully you’ll be able to get to the top of the hill with your boulder eventually and somehow manage to have a good interaction solely through the use of fallacious if not outright irrational reasoning.

Right, I’m the one suggesting that the west is to blame for a islamists ramming a van into a pride parade.

Do you people even hear the shit you say anymore?

More tolerating the intolerant…

You may not be, but the other posters are, and I keep circling around on this one but India is a great example of western powers literally owning them, and they just got their freedom less than 100 years ago and they’re not exporting religious nutjobs. And they’re poor as fuck, and have way more people than the middle east does.

Why does Israel exist in place of Palestine? Because of the British policy of Zionism.

Yep…and did that cause this extremist to ram a van into a pride parade?

Why did the Islamic Revolution happen in Iran in 1979? It was a direct response to the coup orchestrated by the CIA in 1953.

The IR happened because the shah was a dictator, and Khomeini promised a more democratic country. It’s why you saw a ton of Persians from the left (students) supporting him. The CIA did have a hand in the 53 coup, but acting like the gov. Iran has now is better is a fuckin joke.

Why did the Taliban orchestrate 9/11 despite being allies with the US against the Soviet Union in the 1980s? Because the CIA instigated the war covertly, destroyed millions of lives and empowered religious extremist warlords to dominate Afghanistan for the next 40 years.

Wait wait, you think that 9/11 happened because the CIA gave the Taliban weapons and money? You do realize that 9/11 wasn’t really done by the Taliban right? The Saudis had the biggest hand in it, and bin laden ended up being the fall guy.

To say the West isn’t the root cause here is ignorant and lacks a historical perspective.

Again to say the west is the root cause is ignoring all the other countries that the west has been fucking with. India…the literally just got their independence from the British less than 100 years ago. A country of 1.4 billion people, and they don’t seem to be fucking ramming vans into pride parades… what’s your excuse for them?

Bro you’re complete bullshit. I’m sorry your precious West has done so much evil across the world.

O…o I’m dealing with a tankie…fuckin hell.
