  • Senate Democrats refuse to go along with GOP spending plan, as shutdown deadline nears

    Jump

  • I hope it’s more than just a token effort. Hard to say if they can. Either way it’s a turning point.

    I want them too, I just cannot imagine real protest happening. It’s much easier to herd cats

  • A confusing plot hole from Planet of the Apes

    Jump

  • Don’t blink

  • Senate Democrats say they will reject GOP's funding bill as shutdown draws near

  • Realistically, defeatism is the best way to go.

    Can do more damage getting folks’ hope up than speculating failure of leadership.

    Because if they hope, then will delay personal decisions, and some people reading the social nets have stuff coming at them soon: either with federal layoffs, frozen budgets, delayed assistance, persecution or some other.

    And basically saying leadership will follow track record will do no harm, it’s not like polls matter right now. There are no elections in the near future; and what the fallout of whatever they do will be huge, dwarfing any defeatism talk

  • It’s better to ask forgiveness than permission

  • Fuck your grass

  • There is power in symbolism ; I think if it became fashionable to have jewelry and logos featuring these, it would help. It would remind people, on all sides.

    Our sides need boosts to morale, which is probably just as important as organization. Such fashion trends using this and other things might have an outsized impact. No need to actually use the real thing. Although I think it would be helpful too, but only within the law

  • Development Methods

    Jump

  • In some situations with some people yes. It’s really hard to separate the project and team.

    Usually, projects I have seen start with the best plans and methods, or at least vague good intentions, but later pretend they never met them. Like a cheap date.

    There are some projects that naturally lend themselves to one approach or other, and they last longer following the original guidelines ; but if a project lives long enough these guidelines become the enemy.

    I think the only projects that follow any set of guidelines for longer than a few years; they have a narrow purpose for being. Straightforward evolution or needs

  • There are teenagers on the fediverse.

    Jump

  • Sometimes much older

  • STOP DOING COMPUTER SCIENCE

    Jump

  • Maybe if the threads pause a lot, and pause even more as the stack unwinds to the final exciting conclusion.

  • After Khalil Abduction by ICE, Jeffries and Schumer 'Not the Men for This Moment In History'

    Jump

  • I heard it is best to only vote democrat or personal freedoms may be lost. And only republicans will win. I disagreed.

    Surprisingly I was not downvoted to oblivion elsewhere; which in my mind is a huge

  • Fears mount over Kash Patel’s use of FBI to persecute leftwing protest groups

    Jump

  • Maybe longer than most expect.

    There is a bunch of lead time for all sides to get up to speed, maybe more than a year?

  • Fears mount over Kash Patel’s use of FBI to persecute leftwing protest groups

    Jump

  • more left-wing protest groups

    That can defend themselves. Not many will openly protest otherwise if the leaders get picked off like snacks at a buffet.

    I don’t think that comes naturally to most USA leftists, most of whom only experienced how it used to be in the last 40 years.

    It will take a while to learn again. Should look to see how the civil rights movements protected themselves and labor before that

  • You were so close!

    Jump

  • Hacktivists protest Musk and Trump by shutting down X for tens of thousands

    Jump

  • You know in how some history, a bunch of people are just chilling before a war becomes active much; they just kick a ball around while a few yards away from the enemy, but a year later it’s much different?

    We are here, someone kicked a ball to the enemy to annoy them

  • Elon Musk blames X outages on “massive cyberattack”

    Jump

  • Is there.. is there a go fund me the attackers? Asking for my cousin’s ex girlfriend’s dog

  • Developer sabotaged ex-employer IT systems with kill switch • The Register

    Jump

  • I wouldn’t. But there are so many employers, some actually doing evil things, and in some countries sabotaging things while your department is mass fired is all the rage.

    So, if one is going to do it, do it well

  • RFK Jr. Reportedly Had a Call With Texans Helping Distribute Unproven Measles Remedies

    Jump

  • That is being used too; oh.. oh! You were being ironic

  • Developer sabotaged ex-employer IT systems with kill switch • The Register

    Jump

  • I know the town he was convicted in, it’s not quite a bedroom community for Houston. A bit too far out. They have a problem with the police allowing firearms used in the city limits.

    He was convicted by jury there

  • Developer sabotaged ex-employer IT systems with kill switch • The Register

    Jump

  • Ok kids, what did we learn here? Use obfuscation in your kill switches, and place it by leaving vulnerabilities that are “accidental”.

    Secondary lesson: don’t web surf on corporate laptops

  • I started in world, realized I was not a good fit, and transferred my first few months.

    World is great for some. Many coming from Reddit will feel comfortable. Especially USA middle class liberals who do not vary their news and don’t think too hard about certain things
