Surely there are better sources of information than the Donald Trump administration’s state media. Unless they think DOGE installed sycophants everywhere but there.

Feds: “We need a backdoor to encrypted messaging to prevent terrorist attacks!”

Terrorist: unencrypted plans on fucking roblox

That’s a good point. Out of all the social networks, Reddit has been the least interested in getting your personal identification.

Most other social networks explicitly require you to provide a phone number, or implicitly require you to register from your home’s IP address, or sometimes both.

I’m way more interested on your opinions of CEO (and Chair and CTO) Elon Musk, especially because you’d apparently rather talk about anybody but him.

Tools for Humanity… was founded six years ago with the lofty goal of providing a universal basic income to the world by offering them cryptocurrency called Worldcoin in exchange for scanning their eyeballs with an Orb.

What the fuck

“Well-run” implies that of the people running it, i.e. CEO Elon Musk. A quick search on Glassdoor reveals “CEO approval.”

I don’t expect you to speak negatively about the person who signs your paychecks, especially because he’s so obsessed with censoring social media, but when you praise vague “good leadership” and leave it at that, it does make a rational person skeptical.

If Windows is (was) good at anything, it’s maintaining backwards compatibility for longer than anyone expects them to. Never mind revolutionizing their entire file system, Windows 11 is still backwards-compatible with batch files written before we had folders.

This is a very good article, but this part peeved me on a petty level (as well as explaining why there’s precious little in the way of screenshots):

While I can’t find any uploads that are set to run on their website in a virtual computing session, the files are available to download if you felt like spinning up a piece of computing history.

The opportunity to do a little investigative journalism is right there, and the blog author didn’t take it

I hate to be this guy

Then don’t be. I’m not sure why you feel the need to glaze the world’s richest political agent, unless…

Are you a SpaceX employee? You’ve said this in the past.

Most people at SpaceX genuinely love the mission and will work longer hours because it’s almost a passion.

We’re pretty well-compensated too.

If you examine why the latter is an issue, maybe you’ll understand why the former also is…

I already alluded to it elsewhere, but I’d recommend reading up on the harm the zero-click internet causes

So not only was the AI put front and center, it was also put in first?!

I’ve looked at plenty of alpha software before, and I’ve seen plenty of incomplete features. I understand that one has to give an unfinished product leeway. But devs do not simply accidentally add a whole feature into an app. Or if this was somehow all a huge coincidental mistake, they made a massive PR blunder.

What is this article? Besides terrible, I mean. This article is terrible.

First of all, this isn’t a new leak. It’s not even a combination of old leaks. It’s just somebody noticing that a bunch of leaks existed and did an Excel Sum operation on the passwords on them.

According to Vilius Petkauskas at Cybernews, whose researchers have been investigating the leakage since the start of the year, “30 exposed datasets containing from tens of millions to over 3.5 billion records each,” have been discovered. In total, Petkauskas has confirmed, the number of compromised records has now hit 16 billion. Let that sink in for a bit.

And to add insult to injury, the article has this gem:

Is This The GOAT When It Comes To Passwords Leaking?

Password compromise is no joke.

Certainly not with writing like this.

It’s a good thing those cars had working doors

You’re right, it’s not a comment. It supersedes comments. Digg is literally showing you an AI-first ecosystem.

This isn’t some UI glitch. It’s a feature they stuck front and center. Digg is trying to start a second honeymoon period with users. Why do you think things would get better after that?

This is not evidence to the contrary

besides the whole rocket blowing up thing?

SpaceX is a well-ran innovative company

their rocket just blew up

Well, at least it was a private company rocket ship and not my tax dollars… Right?

According to technical experts, internet service providers across the country have begun implementing a rule that limits data transfers from sites using Cloudflare to just the first 16 kilobytes. This technique is relatively subtle but effective: very lightweight, basic websites can still load, creating a façade of normal internet function, while modern, media-rich sites are effectively broken.

16 KB per website? What part of the normal internet is that small? What part of the indie web is that small?

e.g. look at the smallest sites on https://512kb.club/

Or is this just 16kb per request, which would make more sense with the following explanation:

Analysts report that similar throttling is also being applied to other major western hosting providers popular with Russian users, including Germany’s Hetzner and the US-headquartered DigitalOcean… [they] are widely used by Russians to host private VPN servers, which allow them to bypass the Kremlin’s ever-widening blocklists.

AFAIK, VPNs maintain a long-standing connection that would definitely use more than 16kb at a time.

I see no reason to engage with, or trust anything created by, a bullshit generator. If Digg claims to “care” about the humans, then making the top comment into a brick wall (which has zero accountability) is a funny way of showing it.

But then again, I’m sure their privacy policy also says they care about your privacy.
