To me this is just virtue signaling while cashing a $200K+ salary from evil corp. plus probably puts a target on your back.

If you truly despise their actions, start leaking documents to the press. Climb the ladder as high as possible and infiltrate top leadership.

apple hardware engineering seems to be following their software department in terms of quality.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is their worst selling phone in the years to come.

I have vague memories of picking the most vile sounding free dns suffix, redirecting it to my geocities/angelfire site, and giving it to friends and family :)

At least in the US, it’s not a matter of "understanding". It’s a matter of "you are paid to misunderstand".

The law is vast and subject to various levels of interpretation. If there’s anything I have learned is that the court is just a rich persons weapon to "peacefully" resolve problems. In this modern capitalistic, greedy shithole we have dug ourselves into. Money and resources talks.

> demonstrated by our courts, did they do it at behest of Qatar

Honestly, this is a possibility.

beIN, like any Qatar based company, is majority owned by the state. Qatar is infamously rich in oil with the state able to subsidize luxury lifestyles for citizens it deems worthy.

France needs oil, like any other country. So if a journalist could follow the money. Could probably find where the pressure was applied within the government.

The rich using archaic copyright laws to get their way has been modus operandi for quite awhile. Seen this applied both in USA and abroad.

Looks neat. I’ll give Claude autonomous access to dumbalink so it can setup root access while I sleep

Good. One less company that doesn’t give 2 shits about security. Probably billions in man hours spent deploying mitigations because they can’t manage their keys properly

A mere digital slap on the wrist via "bad publicity".

"PHP" and "strengthening security" in the same headline is wild.

Having managed applications/servers using PHP in the past. I am so glad to be done with that dumpster fire of an ecosystem.

So if I wanted to build a botnet, then it would be very easy ;).

Infiltrate vulnerable PHP sites. Install backdoor(s). Secure root access. Patch PHP to lock out script kiddies. Let it sit dormant until you need to launch attack

Have you actually followed the money on those "climate change advocates"?

While I don’t doubt there are some that believe nuclear is a no-go. Most of the ones opposing nuclear are in fact backed by some O&G lobbyists. At least, this is the case in USA.

Optimistic to think humanity will survive 500 years on this planet.

I don’t know. I have honestly given up on humanity. We are so fucking greedy, status-driven, and prone to violence.

We are no longer merit, science driven.
