Yeah, I actually had a nice Monday for once. After seeing this, it suddenly got worse again. Much worse. Thank you for that.

best way to view old reddit content without giving them revenue?

Use Browser extensions to block all ads and trackers, don't log in to your account. As an anonymous IP visiting the site you're almost useless for them because you give them almost no data to sell to advertisers.

Works best with Firefox and uBlockOrigin and some tracker blockers like Privacy Badger. Also works on mobile since Firefox on mobile also supports extensions, however, the Reddit mobile experience is trash, whether you are in a browser or use their shitty app.

Attackers invite targets to collaborate on a project, convincing them to download and run a repository with malicious npm dependencies.

The really scary thing is probably the malicious npm dependencies. If I think about the projects at work with and all the different packages and the hundreds of dependencies no one knows. And it's probably even worse in really big companies like Microsoft or Facebook, they probably got thousands across their products. I hope for us all that they scan them very regularly.

Ich dachte erst, dass Messer stecke in der Brust der Ente und war somit der Meinung, dass vom ihr keine Gefahr mehr ausgeht. Erst bei näherer Betrachtung sah ich, dass sie das Messer im Schnabel hält. Ich bin mir sicher, dass sie auf diese Weise ihre Opfer näher lockt.

Guy Banned by Midjourney for Generating Images of Politicians Cheating

That would be in the far future if even. Right now there are many ways to identify an AI generated picture especially if it has people in it (the infamous hands problem). And there's software that can reliably tell, too.

It's, as always, not a question about the tech but how we deal with it. If we were all reasonable and questioned such pictures if they pop up somewhere, you'd be right. However, if just enough people believe them to be real, the damage is done, even though if it proven to be fake afterwards.

That is most likely the reason blackmail and believing fakes are real didn't die and never will. Too many people believe what they want to believe, no matter what the actual truth is.
