Only works if we limit the amount of wealth single persons are allowed to hoard.

I say that anyone with a networth over 10M should have all other income over that taxed 100%

Same for companies, cap them at 1 billion

This will allow capitalism yet spread the wealth

Yes, this requires more details, of course, but this should be a basic rule. There is no right to own more than 10 million in wealth

That is the problem though, isn’t it?

We’re at a point that AI is shoved hard in everything and your mother, yet actual useful applications for AI barely get any attention.

It’s all about the useless and criminal like chat bots, nudifier apps, and the hilarious claims that AI really can do software development

It’s all pushed by lying psychopaths who convince empty headed politicians (seriously, we need a required IQ test or something for people who want to become politician) to invest billions in their bubble balloons.

Those billions are them used to build new datacenters that nobody wants and which destroy the environment in all sorts of creative ways

This is not a tool used wrong. This is somebody inventing guns and now everybody wants to shoot those guns at everything and your mother.

If tomorrow AI and the knowledge we have about it would completely disappear from the world, it would be a better place.

You want companies to stop supporting and using your shitty standard? Because that is how you get customers ntonstop using your standard and by extension, your companies

I’ve had similar issues using CSF firewall. They just pushed out updates that apparently support docker a little better but I still have to fight with that to get that working, I don’t know if that will fix it, but give it a try

This would be hilarious is not half the world is pushing for this shit

Imagine a federated system that allows everyone to host this and everyone can vote on a designated target

Ticketmaster is being a dick? Vote! Ticketmaster is now ddossed until it makes hard changes to its policies and brings prices down to like 10% of what it is today

Boeing continues to focus on money only, not safety? Ddos until it changes

The Cheeto is murdering innocent people again? The entire world will ddos everything US until he’s removed.

I know this won’t ever happen, but I see this as potentially useful in making the world a better place for everyone

Using immich for photos, going to set-up nextcloud and onlyoffice for the rest

You could just say that you hate trump and just skip that list

I’m sure they’ll use instance killing AI scrapers anyway because they don’t give a shit.

AI bots killing the internet again? You don’t say

I don’t blame a girl for doing a job that lands her food on the table. I blame the guy employing her because she’s the cheapest option

Having said that, this design was so bad that she should not have been doing any of this. If you don’t know that SQL allows you to select multiple columns then by all means, do a tutorial, it’s not that hard.

If you don’t even know what encryption is, that passwords need hashing and what not, then you should really question what you’re doing

OPs question was about the worst code I’ve seen, that was the worst I’ve seen

A program that HR had built so that all employees could they their payment receipts online

The username was the companies’ email address, the password was a government personal id code that you can lookup online, a don’t change, and you can’t update the password to something else.

So I told the director of HR this was a bad idea. She told me I was overreacting until I showed her her own receipt, then she finally understood that this is a really fucking bad idea.

Okay, so now she out me in charge of debugging that program.

So I setup a meeting with the director of the company they hired, he came by with the developer: a 21 yo girl who I think hadn’t finished college yet. Great start! Apparently it was her idea to do the authentication like that so that explains a few things.

So we dive in to the code.

First of all, the “passwords” were stored in blank, no hashing, no encryption, nothing. That wasn’t the worst.

For the authentication she made a single query to check if the user email existed. Of that was true, then step two was a second query to see if the password existed. If that were true, the email had been authenticated.

So let’s say, hypothetically, that they had actual passwords that people could change… I could still login with the email from anyone, and then use MY OWN password to authenticate.

This just blew my mind so hard that I don’t think I ever fully recovered, I still need treatment. The stupidity hurts

Also known as the case of the oblivious husband

Karate.

Superman power source?

Superman power source.

I don’t care if someone is bisexual or not. I am.

I care about people BEING a dildo, not if they like to suck one

Yeah no, you grew up in hell and nothing about that is normal.

Family you don’t choose, friends you do choose. you don’t owe your family anything, find good friends that will love you for what and how you are.

It is okay to cut off toxic family

“The position of the FFmpeg X account is that somehow disclosing vulnerabilities is a bad thing. Google provides more assistance to open source software projects than almost any other organization, and these debates are more likely to drive away potential sponsors than to attract them.”

Yeah slave, stop complaining get your ass back to work because I’m about to dump more obligatory work on your lap that you will fix for no pay, I don’t care you have a family to feed!

Your complaining about not having any sponsor for the free work that we sell for millions of dollars may cause that you don’t get any sponsors!

The entitlement and mental gymnastics here at display is insane

Google has made billions off of open source software they got and used for free. Sure, they gave back a few fractions of a penny for each million they made with it, they gave back with adding some softwares here and there when it strategically suited them, but the simple fact is that without open source software, Google wouldn’t exist today, definitely not the way they do now.

Hell, the internet wouldn’t exist as it does today, it would be a tiny fraction of what it is today without open source software. Open source software is amazing yet most people in the world don’t even know that it exists, that it’s a concept, and that people are doing this

Yet there are countless companies profiting majorly from the work of others without giving back a dime. There are multinationals that profit in the billions from open source software without giving back properly or at all.

We need an updated GPL amendment or something that requires companies to start giving back productively in some form or another once they start majorly profiting from the work of open source projects.

OpenSSL heart bleed, for sure

Great example of corporations just taking from open source and not giving back a dime because fuck you, give us your work!

I’d love to see a GPL version where if you’re a company, and you make more than x amount of profit with open source projects, that you gotta fund it with y amount, depending on your profit or something

ALL big tech companies have gotten ginormous thanks to open source software, and though some have given back something, and some have done some funding, it’s always been such few pennies on so many dollars that it might as well have been slavery. Add to that that many times what was given back was only given back because it was a good thing, strategically, for them.

Tech companies are abusive as fuck which made them so insanely big, powerful and rich and this nonsense has to stop

Open source is awesome and ALL software should be open source as far as I’m concerned, but the abuse from tech corporations has to stop

I do not agree

Yes, it sometimes can be difficult and frustrating, but so long as someone, anyone, is willing to try and learn and fail and retry, they can get my help

Have you forgotten that you too started at 0?
