Snowflake, if you don’t like the article headline the author used, downvote and move on and email the author. Cripes, not everything is about you sweetheart.

No, its not about me, its about all of us here on Lemmy, and the quality of posts we get.

Years are made of months … Good read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month

More than just a good read, that's one of the project/programming Ten Commandments.

Can't tell you how many times over the decades I've had to argue with project managers about that.

Holy fuck. Because for some fucking reason, the goddamned director of the fucking central intelligence agency doesn’t fucking know that just because you’re able doesn’t mean you should.

Never fucking mind also apparently just not fucking knowing about the JWICS that’s designed for this exact motherfucking purpose.

'Fuck' count: 7

(Sorry, couldn't resist. 😋 😇 I get your anger though; agree.)

From the article ...

“What’s happening, it seems to me, is they’re being fed propaganda by the far left, and they believe it. It’s really unfortunate,” Musk continued, claiming that the “real problem” isn’t the “crazy guy” who attacks his vehicles but rather the people that push the “propaganda” that encourages him to do it.

“Those are the real villains here, and we’re going to go after them,” the DOGE chief warned. “The president has made it clear, we’re going to go after them.”

“The ones providing the money, the ones pushing the lies and propaganda? We’re going after them,” Musk said, casually pointing his fingers in the shape of a gun.

That doesn’t mean they want the US to inflict half a million civilian casualties, as they did when ridding Iraq of Saddam Hussein. And this time, Trump and Hegseth will be running the show, so it’s a certainty it’ll be worse.

Personally I would tend to agree with you, but that didn't stop the Iranians from having protest events in Iran calling for Trump to win/invade.

People don't always act logically, or maybe they measure the 'lesser of the two evils' and take actions based on that. Iranians were hoping Trump would win the election just for that reason, to invade and kick out the Mullahs.

You need to make the connection that this is U.S. Government-sanctioned slavery.

Slavery existed in Africa for hundreds of years (unfortunately).

Recently read this on a Steam game's reviews section ...

User Comment...

The game's Discord REQUIRES your personal phone number to get access at all. This is a very intrusive, and 100% unnecessary requirement, in order to just be able to interact with others about the game, it's content, player experiences, and many other things. It's also intrusive in regards to being able to contribute any input to help other players in any way at all.

Dev Response...

It's Discord that's asking you for verification of the account. We're not getting your phone number. This is standard practice on bigger servers that allows for a better user experience, filtering bots/ spam accounts, trolls, etc.

Could companies please STOP lying about it being Discord's choice, its not, is the Discord server's choice to ask for it.

Its a "Verification Levels" setting that the server op sets, and they have multiple options that they can choose from, its not an on/off switch. They can dial it back one notch and still have spam/bot protections.

The only difference between "High" and "Highest" verification levels is the addition of asking for a phone number, all other features of "High" is in "Highest", and "Highest" has no other extra features besides asking for the phone number.

Makes it really hard to have an pseudonym account on the Internet, for gaming purposes, and then be asked for your real phone number. I don't need to be tracked 24/7.
