    I’m just waiting for these incompetent fuckwits at DOGE to fuck something up so catastrophically that it backfires on them tenfold. I’d take GeekSquad running the government over these guys.

      tenfold? imagine if an adversary had free and unfettered access to every network those morons have touched…

      oh. right. the adversary is already there.

      How is it going to backfire? Are there tangible consequences for anyone involved? Doesn’t seem like it.

      I’m barely an engineer but I can guarantee you that anyone with the ability to build a single actual functional server could run stuff better than these clowns. they fucked up so badly that they exposed a open mail relay to the entire fucking NOAA. I’m a dumb removed but that is beyond belief, if I did anything nearly as reckless as that on a corp network I’d be in handcuffs before the top of the hour.

      this isn’t just risky - this is begging to be plundered.

        You’re a dumb removed? You need to join a better instance.

      I am hopeful but seriously the Trumpers are so invested in the cult I think they would justify anything. If they completely destroy social security and medicare leaving 3/4 of Trump voters completely fucked I think they would justify it to themselves that it is just a sacrifice for the greater good. Sure they can no longer afford to eat or buy meds but the new Jesus said it is for the best.

    Breaking and entering, illegal access of digital resources, illegal firings, handling private data without oversight: I sleep

    Unencrypted email: REAL SHIT

    I mean I’ll take it, but, what?

      It’s a state response, not a federal one. NY doesn’t really have the jurisdiction to file suits for crimes commited by the federal government against itself.

      The states do have the jurisdiction to sue over a violation of the rights of its citizens commited by the federal government, especially when the violation is explicitly against federal law and the state has hard evidence with which to present their case.

      So yes, I’ll take it too! Anything is literally better than nothing!

      Anonymous released a video saying that musk has no idea what he’s doing and he’s crippling security, and that they will “strike when they’re weakest, so be ready”

      That could mean a lot of things, but in my daydreams they get into the banking system and just really just fuck it all up. Just make a total mess of it
