A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
I don't like this app. I don't like the idea of this app. I think the whole thing was misguided.
But let me tell you of a time when I was younger and more festively slutty, I had a few encounters that might have made me a user. Not all men, no, but after the third time a dude threatens to rape you in a park, you start to wonder if you could be doing more to protect yourself.
Remember, ladies, these days you can print your own handguns and make them look like whatever you want.
I'd suggest just buying a small frame pistol. Printing your own and making it work reliably takes a level of know-how and effort.
I'd suggest 3D printing for affordability and because shooting and maintaining a gun already takes a level of know-how and effort.
Maintaining a gun involves knowing how to take the slide off and scrub it with a brush. 3d printing one involves knowing how they work, not to mention having access to a printer, files, then buying a kit because you still need metal internals if you don't want it to explode in your hand. Vice did a video on printed guns.
TL;DW: a reporter got someone experienced in printing guns to help him build and test the gun over weeks and it still malfunctioned on competition day. If you want reliable self defense, buy it. Even a hi point is preferable to a printed gun, and honestly it's probably cheaper too.
There's a big difference between being a safe/competent shooter and being a gunsmith.
3d printing a firearm you're planning to bet your life on is a big ask for someone who isn't already a gun owner.
Also, if you're buying a glock slide and parts kit to put in your plastic gat, you aren't really saving much money.
A glock can be had for nearly $300 on sale sometimes.
Holy crap, I never thought about that. That's a whole different take on an assassin's teapot.
I forgot about poison. Everyone should know it's super easy to make poison. Toad venom is so big right now I bet that's easy to get, too.
I mean poison is cool AF, but turning the teapot into a gun, with a trigger in the handle.
Wait is that an assassins teapot?
BLAM
Yes, why yes it is.
I would like to go into business with you.
Replace their ethanol with methanol.
I’m going to use “festively slutty” in my introductions from now on
I think it would be great to have an app that warns women about dangerous men. I don't think it's possible for that to exist though, it will ALWAYS be filled up by bitter people making things up so their ex has a harder time dating.
and in facebook groups you had women ratting each other out to those men. Men pretending to women to get dirt.
This was all new to me a few moments ago. After some reading, I found an interesting article:
Sorry if it doesn't quite fit the sub or the meme. I just found it helpful and at least tangentially relevant to a broader understanding of these phenomena.
How is it always 4chan. Is the anime shit posting board really where peak tech literate internet users congregate.
No, it's one of the few clearnet sites that still allow anonymous posts without email or anything. Just CAPTCHA. Everything is deleted after a while, so moderation is barely necessary. Many search engines don't even index it. It's a quick way of reporting something interesting anonymously.
so moderation is barely necessary
Heh, no. If the mods took a break for a day the site would be overrun with illegal shit by noon.
Different boards on the site have different people. Some boards are somewhat maladjusted nerds with poor social skills like /tg/ others are more technical and home to the unhinged users
And some are full of crazy people. Don't forget the crazy people
Honestly, if I stumbled across open/vulnerable data like that I wouldn't know where else to post that anonymously. 🤷♂️
4chan wouldnt be it. Maybe breachfourms om the darkweb.
Then you can go on the clear web and pretend to be a random user who happened to see the post and then post that somewhere.
Why? Nothing the user that accessed this did was illegal. Like here's an open s3 bucket.... Can't prosecute me for that.
Security through obscurity has unfortunately been a successful argument in the past.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Swartz for a specific example. While he committed suicide before it was resolved it does show the kind of hammer that can be brought down from accessing public info
This one wasnt about conditions or acys though.
Swartz actually had legal 'legitimate' access to that publically funded data.
He was being attacked for exposing the law to the people, they saw it lije like translating the bible out of latin, but even more devastating to power.
yeah but why even give them the chance to try
IMO the thing to do hypothetically is email and CC the news desks of the most legitimate newspapers you can think of with a link to the data.
They will all run the story because if one of them will and the rest dont want to miss the train and they will all reach out to the company asking for comment after they document and verify that the data was publicly available.
Emphasis on anonymously.
I mean how anonymous you need to be depends entirely on how legal the method you found the data is.
Not really. I've heard stories about people getting sued after finding vulnerabilities. Of course the cases would get thrown out, but that's assuming you can eat the mountains of legal fees it'll take to actually get to a judge.
Yep which is why you involve serious investigative journalists (what few are left). Not as good as going through a lawyer but they do have a tendency to protect their sources.
Burner email. Wikileaks. Whistleblower program. Many such thing.
This wont do anything. oh no, a news story from some also corrupt org. Oh No! a data breach! can I offer you one month of identity monitoring in this trying time?
It sucks that personal data is exploited and accessed, but a great thing it was discovered and called out. I wish it was disclosed responsibly though
Tbh, if you use the dox 3000 app, you have to expect them not valuing your privacy.
"But I thought I was the one doing the doxxing!"
Usually I would agree, but as it happened to a bunch people who were doxxing thousands of men, I find it kind of hilarious and a peak karma moment!
what happened?
So deserved
