There's maybe 100 words on the page. It would have taken someone 5 minutes to type that out. But apparently the creator didn't even care enough to do that.

You might be projecting . All the docs in the app looks like the usual wall-of-text that was autogenerated .

I have my router set with iptables rules to block/redirect all port 53 and you can also add known DoH to a blocklist to try and force LAN devices to use your router DNS.

You all are missing the larger context. Not everyone here is equal. There are certain people who control economic organizations, set their goals and priorities, generate hype and fluff to increase sales, push everyone to be more productive, dont do the actual programming work. And then there is everyone else. This is how global capitalism is structured.

I've compared to cooking a meal yourself.

Vs ordering delivery.

Cooking for you and your friends is satisfying as a craft and labor of love, as well as being experience. There is enjoyment to be gained from the process.

Compared to delivery, You may get the food quicker/easier. But for most people who cook it was never about that. There are certain people that enjoy generating as much food as possible. Some might call that gluttony or greed, over-indulgence, or in it for the wrong reasons. Perhaps these two groups of people have fundamentally different motivations. Try telling a chef that he should stop cooking and just order the food as delivery.

If they can't be bothered to write it , why should I be bothered to read it?

"players protested against these changes, this time by placing large amounts of hateful symbols and hate speech on signs all around the server"

why is that more important to you?

All this hypothetical grandstanding is so obnoxious. Have you seen the video? There was just a few fireworks, regular ones purchased from a roadside stand. They went into the air, FAR from the facility. There was no damage. It's called a noise demonstration. The prisoners were watching from inside and cheering in response. Please go outside on the 4th of July while people are setting off fireworks and touch grass.

I reject that simplistic fearmongering, the US acts as a neoliberal warlord on the international stage, but my point is that what the state chooses to do with the monopoly on violence is extremely political.

I'm not trying to redefine the word for everyone, I'm speaking to you, I'm trying to get you to be more critical of your own personal usage of the word. When you adopt/parrot someone's claim about terrorism, that is not a neutral territory, and certainly isn't "fact-based". Especially if your other claims/deductions are downstream of the word "terrorism". It is almost always used as a propaganda term, commonly to justify horrific things, clearly it's been effective on you as well. There's a good book that spends a huge amount of time dissecting the use of the word terrorism you should check out: "Manufacturing Consent".

Besides I don't think you can neatly cleave the world, or this website, or the news, into "facts" and "emotions" as you seem to think.

OK, July 4 is coming up, get ready to throw hundreds of thousands of people in jail for decades for setting off "explosives", right? Most fireworks, you can literally stand on top of them while they are going off and not be injured. I've seen videos of police doing it while just wearing light body armor, unphased. Stop being ridiculous. These laws about explosives were intended to be used for military-style weapons.

"Terrorist-related crime"? I mean, wouldn't the entire US air force be guilty of "terrorist-related crimes" for recently bombing a school full of children in Iran? Yet you don't see them being charged. Courts and the term "terrorist" are tools applied by the powerful to those without power in society.

Prisons are political violence. War is political violence. Policing is political violence. Pretty rich to hear moralizing about "poticial violence" from US citizens, the country which has the largest military, largest prison system, and spends the most on policing out of any country on the planet.

Also, "It's okay for the government to shoot people, use explosives, kidnap people and put them in cages for their entire lives. But if you try to stop them, you are bad and deserve to be in a cage for your entire life."

"Lure police into an ambush" is quite a stretch. It's quite normal to do noise demonstrations outside jails/prisons to show solidarity with the captives, the captives will often times knock on the windows to communicate back. In fact there were noise demonstrations outside the Delaney Hall ICE jail in New Jersey just this month, which you may have heard about. The mischaracterization of fireworks as "explosives" is also a huge stretch by the government in order to pursue their antifa conspiracy.

This is a problem fundamental to capitalism. Capitalist organizations are organized as dictatorships, with capitalists as the dictators. Captialists have their own class interests that is opposed to the workers'. And they also are the ones who unilaterally decide how increased productivity gains (revenue/profit) are distributed. They are not going to decide to give you another day off. They are going to maximize profit.

ALL technological progress under capitalism goes through this same conflict. It's why workers are sometimes pressed into reactionary positions like opposing self-checkout lanes. Capitalists decide to deploy the technology in a way that is worse for the workers. Technological progress could be liberatory. Technology could be used to make workers' lives better, like working less, if workers were in charge of the organizations in which they worked.

I don't know about a hole, but the reason why the tank didn't rupture, is because a crack was discovered, which relieved the pressure. They got lucky.

It's nothing new, the Pentagon has failed 8 audits in a row. In just one year (2022), $220 Billion dollars of their spending were totally unaccounted for.

Pretty ironic that this article was also written using LLMs. It has all the LLM-isms.

Or even just a proxy that can enforce the constraints

yes, props to pnpm for adding 1 day cooldown by default in v11.

I audited several postinstall scripts recently in popular packages. They seem to be mostly around using native binaries, downloading them, detecting if the platform is compatible, linking to it directly instead of having it bootstrapped by node, working around issues in older versions of npm, etc. Since dev toolchains (e.g. esbuild) are now being built in compiled languages and distributed as binaries via npm registry. If you are on a recent version of node/npm and a common/recent OS/platform, you should be able to disable all the postinstall scripts without legitimate issue.

at least 3 that i can remember off the top my head in these last couple months. If you look further back you will find more.

Just dont use npm. Use a package manager which doesn't execute postinstall by default. The switch is incredibly simple.

If you look at the last N npm worms, they all used postinstall scripts.

Turns out "its just an experiment, you all are overreacting" was just a lie to damp criticism.

Are the majority of people who don't like / don't use AI not regular people? Definitionally, they are, more so than your parents. Funny how you try to make a general statement but immediately fall back to anecdotes when pressed.

Regular people don't use AI, majority of people don't like it. You're in a bubble.
