  • Developer gets 4 years for activating network “kill switch” to avenge his firing

    Jump

  • I don’t know what his former company does, but it’s easy to imagine scenarios on both ends of the spectrum. From processing Bejeweled microtransaction payments to ER intake or ambulance dispatch. Doesn’t really matter in the end. Software is everywhere and we all use it. Unless the company is so bad that damaging it is a political act of defiance against evil (I’m looking at you, Nestle, Blackwater, etc), then there’s really no good argument for employees burning shit on their way out.

  • Kinda heroic, ngl. I think the prison sentence is appropriate, but if I was let go after 11 years, I’d harbor fantasies of doing something similar. They’d stay fantasies, though.

  • ICE Hunts Down Immigrants by Spying on Their Wire Transfers

    Jump

  • Man, OP is some kinda non-sequitur savant. You were more than fair in your attempts to engage with his disjointed and ephemeral “arguments”

  • Get rule

  • Answer is testicles. The king stole a pair from the beggar. ALL HAIL THE FERTILE LORD!!

  • YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround

    Jump

  • I have this running on a local server: https://github.com/alexta69/metube

    It’s a frontend for yt-dlp and whenever I want to watch something I just download it and have a copy saved locally. It makes it harder to binge youtube feeds that the algorithm tries to shove down my throat, and that’s a good thing.

  • Millions of Americans Are Ignoring Their Student Loan Bills

    Jump

  • Even if they can afford to pay them, why would anyone want to? What would our president do? Why should anyone give a shit about doing the “right” thing when the people running our society, government, and financial institutions are raping and pillaging the decades of stability and good will that was guiding the decision to get those loans in the first place??

  • Judge blocks Beto O'Rourke from providing financial support to Texas Democrats who fled state over redistricting

    Jump

  • Ohh man, it’s a real shame that Beto keeps sending money to all those clumsy people who love to walk around Illinois hotel lobbies. Clumsy, nearsighted people who are walking around Democratic legislators and constantly stumbling and dropping their big wads of cash on the floor. Why don’t they ask for help? Why do they shrug it off and pick themselves up and just walk away? Perhaps we’ll never know..

  • The man who banned abortion in Texas is accused by an exotic dancer of paying for multiple abortions

    Jump

  • I’m not saying this isn’t true, but the original source on this, a blog-masquerading-as-news called currentrevolt(dot com), is a straight dumpster fire of awful opinions and shitty takes. So, take this “reporting” with a heap of salt.

  • The curse of ‘Disco Elysium’, the greatest RPG ever made

  • Sometimes it's OK to make strong statements.

    How fucking dare you

  • Who is paying for ads like these and why?

  • No way that woman in the pic is 49. Clearly a scam.

  • Garbage take. Also, and I can’t believe I’m saying this unironically, but maybe.. think of the children?

  • When this post is 10 minutes old it's time to start!!!

    Jump

  • Shit, I’m too late! Unless.. yall are still honking? Ugh this is frustrating….

    Won’t somebody please just tell me if I should be honking or not?!

  • Ooh with Kennedy at the helm, I bet we “solve” health next! Excited to receive my cocaine Rx to cure the ghosts in my blood.

  • What an utterly bizarre timeline we live in

    Jump

  • Is there an IRL loading screen community I can join?

  • Have you ever cheated on a test?

    Jump

  • I almost kinda involuntarily cheated and almost got flunked out of college. Comp sci major, forced to do a partner programming assignment. Met up with the dude and banged out like 75% of the project in the first meeting. After that, he kept dodging and rescheduling and giving excuses yadda yadda why he couldn’t meet up. Finally, just before the deadline, he says he’ll finish and submit it. I reluctantly agree (mostly because I was over a barrel at this point). The dumbass submitted his buddy’s version from the previous semester and it got flagged as a 99% match. We both had to face an academic dishonesty committee and plea our cases. Thankfully he fessed up (and I showed chat transcripts and screen shots) and he got an F in the class and a suspension of some kind. I think the prof actually kinda took pity on me because I was supposed to get a zero on the assignment, but I was a pretty crappy student anyway and that would’ve tanked my whole grade, so I think she just averaged my grades or something and I got a C+ overall.

  • New MG4 to be first mass-produced EV with semi-solid state battery, GM says ahead of August 5 debut

  • Sigh. Insert squidward meme where he(America) is looking through the grate at the rest of the world as they get new, cheap, efficient, advanced EV tech
