The whole point is to create "a starvation workforce" where you either do / take what pittens the oligarchs offer or starve and die. They don't care. They got theirs.

The theory stands that the more desperate they are, the less they'll be able to resist.

Add in controlling the majority of communications and you basically lock everything in...

I should start a pool to see how many traversal bugs can hit Ivanti in one year @GossiTheDog

@GossiTheDog this implies that US digital voting infrastructure hasn't already been ran through for the last 40 years...

@inthehands

Just another example of Musk targeting the agencies that would regulate this.

He has spent BILLIONS fighting legislation and fighting investigations -- and now he's just "deleting them"...

The billionaires have NO PROBLEMS with humans as guinea pigs.

To them, it's just thinning the herd, and the cost of doing business.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @StillIRise1963 @GreenFire

The whole goal is to take possession of the farms for the private equity - so they can backroom deals to fully control you from whether or not you eat to what it is they let you have.

All in the name of profits and control.

@GottaLaff

Part of the goal of creating a "survival state" society is keeping the society as a whole so dependent on their jobs just to eat on a daily basis that ones attacked the worst face losing it all to take to the streets.

The other issue is the hijacking of the media. This coup wouldn't be happening without the control of rural media by Fox News and control of messaging by social media.

Biden winning 2020 gave them 4 years to lock down social media and messaging.

I'm going to be spinning up at least one Fediverse server instance soon. I have several domain names that are dormant, and am looking at acquiring a couple more that will more than likely piss a certain oligarch off to the point where he tries to seize them.

My question is what does everyone do for protecting domain names from seizure?

(no, this won't be some "illegal marketplace" or "crimeware" or other illegal content type seizure I'm worried about)

The two main reasons I'm doing this:

1) the Fediverse survives when the Fediverse expands.

2) I feel like I should take my political rants to my own instance rather than blow up @GossiTheDog's bandwidth and resource usage 😬

@GossiTheDog

I'm going through this with local Office install and the \AI folder -- currently it's set to read-only and had basically every other access right removed after renaming every file in the folder.

... now we wait ...

@GossiTheDog

Thank you for standing on the right side of the moral ground.

@GossiTheDog I wonder just how much of this data was given without warrants.

I'll be happily sticking to my pre-2003 vehicles until I'm no longer able to drive.

Just like I won't allow the insurance company to track my every movement via an app.

It's too bad Firefox doesn't let you actually edit the URLs that are used in the search extensions without completely writing your own...

@GossiTheDog @taylorlorenz

Proving again it only takes a couple words to make something "disappear" off the internet...

@GossiTheDog I can't wait --

@GossiTheDog

There ought to be laws preventing the creation of millions of tons of waste based on an arbitrary requirement that apparently is "not a requirement"...

@GossiTheDog

follow-up from El-Reg -- this seems a juicy target --

@GossiTheDog honestly, if it was just being stoned, they'd keep the dollar bills -- these are worse drugs 😩

@GossiTheDog I'm staying here - not that I have huge "infosec" role other than having a small hosting farm at AWS.

Leaving one "billionaire owned platform" to go to another one started by the same billionaire isn't on my bingo card.

I try to learn from history.

@GossiTheDog it's been a trend for far too long:
