Yankistanis will shrug it off like it's nothing. Hijacking and co-opting someone else's property, name, and culture as theirs is their whole schtick.

They don't call themselves "Americans", "world champions", and "greatest country" in the world for nothing.

Orange man baby freaks out again

Oh my sweet summer child, how do you think you got yourselves to be called "Americans".

This is what your country has done since day one.

90% of people in the US also would never consider renaming it

It's probably the other way around and much lower than you think.

ChatGPT access to Apple Messages is dangerous and irresponsible

Reply in thread

This is a rage bait headline.

Yes, it is.

The claim that this is somehow different from any other use

You never have control over what the person at the other end of a conversation does

encryption was never meant to address that

I wonder why Apple stans never bring this up when calling it the most private operating system that "cares" about user "privacy" and "security" when they can just hand over your E2EE messages after it's decrypted, if a company has a "plugin".

Convenient, isn't it?

And if Apple has a plugin for OpenAI, think of what "plugins" the government has behind closed doors.

But stans never stop repeating the same "encryption", "privacy", "security" talking points when defending it.

White House trusted a transgender CIA briefer with the most sensitive secrets until her identity went public

Reply in thread

It's the CIA, do you think CIA only holds good secrets?

You mfs went berserk when all the shit about CIA came out and then called whistleblowers terrorists and what not, but didn't aim to fix a single fucking thing.

Yet you still think the people who work for them should get the benefit of the double and think they don't agree with the administration they work with?

If she didn't agree with Trump there would be a treasure trove of leaks and whistleblowing going through this bullshit.

DOJ goes after US citizen for developing anti-ICE app

Reply in thread

The developer chose the correct platform for that then. It's an apple only app.

His excuse? Android requires him to store databases of user IDs, but Apple does it themselves so it's more "private". There are tons of opensource push notification platforms available on Android that you can sideload. But seems like the developer wants the limelight than anything.

Also my honeypot senses are tingling.

Employee commits suicide after MongoDB fired her during mental health leave

Hawkernews being unhinged capitalists as always:

aeternum: 18h

Sad.

And perhaps a controversial take but consider the counterfactual: Should it be illegal to fire employees that recent took mental health leave? Get a bad review or put on a PIP? It's already becoming a common strategy to immediately take mental health/sick leave.

0xbadc0de5: 3h

This is sad and tragic but ultimately I don't think Mongo bares any responsibility here. If her partner left her while she was having a prolonged mental health crisis, would her partner be to blame for her suicide? I would argue: no.

You're just an expendable cog to the money machine to techbros.
