  You have no idea how much of our critical infrastructure is on the net and poorly secured. And that’s not even including the items (like solar inverters) found with undocumented cellular radios that would bypass any security measures put in place.

  So glad we have a competent government full of people who understand their knowledge domain and totally aren’t fucking morons out in place to destroy every institution they can.

    Oh I have a pretty good idea about that… But I was actually referring to the fact that Trump’s platform was the first thing attacked after he bombed the country. Yeah it would be great if we had a government that was focused on letting the various agencies do their jobs rather than dismantling everything that keeps us safe and healthy.

  They’re referring to all the subsidized bureaucratic closed-source monopoly-spyware that they force you to buy for the NSA.

  Yes, lets ignore real problems in favour of turning them into partisan shouting matches.

  It’s worked so well until now.

    Nobody is ignoring these imperial invasions, genocides, etc.

    USA is actively supporting them.

  As much as it would be a true net positive if that was taken down, they’re probably referring to the vast number of networks that actually do viral things.
