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

That needs just two words:

Thank you.

Another one bending the knee to fascism.

Once this is over they’ll claim they had no idea, they didn’t know, they didn’t have a choice, yadddah yaddah yadddah

We share Olivia’s desire to keep live music accessible and ensure fans have the best access to affordable tickets. While we can’t require other marketplaces to honour artists’ resale preferences, we echo Olivia’s call to ‘do better’ and have taken steps to lead by example.”

Shut the fuck up, you lying sack of shit. Ticketmaster is one of the biggest reasons we have to deal with impossibly expensive tickets these days, they created a semi monopoly with the explicit goal to squeeze every possible cent out of concert goers. Concert avenues are forced into doing the business with them and them alone, and I could go on for a while.

The company should be disbanded and it’s C suite jailed. I’m not even kidding about this statement.

Fuck you, Ticketmaster 🖕

In all fairness, I think kost Russian soldiers aren’t there by much choice, Putin loves his meat grinder and has pulled well over a million Russians through it.

Yes, that is a problem that Russians should fix themselves, but still. Any soldiers surrendering should be treated well. Show them they’ve really been figuring on the wrong side

Don’t give up a single meter of land

Require reparations from Russia

Demand all children back

Demand a formal apology for the pain and suffering caused

Demand Putin in jail through the ICC

No, still not.

More like to the last Russian, at the speed he’s going through them

I just love how Linux is awesome and outperforms windows in just about any metric, and every update is basically making it faster, better, more secure, and more featureful.

I love how easy it has become to get it to run, even when confronting complicated problems

Meanwhile in the microsoft camp, its always been shit, severe known security bugs don’t get fixed because marketing goes before everything, even if it means that the US government gets hacked (but don’t worry, we pwomise that the CEO wiw now cawe about secuwity!) and apparently M$ literally only cares about shoving security averse AI down everyone’s throat with a used plunger.

Sure sure, the AI my install malware for you, but AI, man! It’s awesome even though you hate it, even though it’ll steal all your data and your first born back to Microsoft for processing. You MUST love it, resistance is futile!

And still people keep going on about how windows really is the best

Meanwhile, I try to type a document in Microsoft Word online, because unfortunately that’s is het we still use at work but it keeps randomly and quietly deleting text that I wrote 30 seconds prior. That high quality, of course, is all due to the AI vibe coding that is all the rage at Microsoft now.

To anyone who still needs to hear it: switch to Linux now, get rid of Microsoft nonsense. Linux is awesome, we have cookies

It also still has nukes

They’re likely defunct as they require insane amounts of money for maintenance and upkeep and Russians have skimped money on all parts of the military, and where to skimp easier than on weapons that will never be used, unless it is to end the world?

Even so… Wanna risk that?

I easily hit 500+ tabs, usually against 1000 or so, and usually spread around over 40 windows on 4 different desktops, so it’s fairly wellp organized as all tabs in a window are about the same subject.

Most auto close after about 15 mins to spare resources because websites these days just are insanely heavy. I used to do 2000 sites with maybe 32GB mem, now I need a tab auto closer to be able to manage half of that.

Sooooo

Chrome is out

Firefox is put

What is a professional Brower that can do all what the above two can do, but is open source and not riddled with adware or ad allow ware, spyware and other shit?

Is there any browser left that we can still use for all sites?

you’re talking out of your ass so I asked an AI

Pot, you are black! Signed, kettle

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

Water proofing is a good reason though, I want and need my devices water proof

However, at least there are phones that are water proof and still let you exchange the battery

Aaaaaaand I can switch to residential proxies, I can still appear from wherever the fuck I want.

You. Can’t. Stop. This.

All this will do is cause actual criminals to hide it better, that is it.

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

And we obey!

Install Linux, everybody!

You’ll get free cookies

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

Wanting: tangent rant incoming about the site, not the article.

JFC, what a horrible source, that site is cancer

Well fucking A, I have the right to object, but you’ll do it anyway

Great to know that you and your 1540 fucking partners all together respecty privacy, i feel so much fucking better already!

And mind you, this shit is the best we can get with the gdpr. Without that, it would be a hundred times worse than this.

But okay, let’s reject everything and try to read the article, shall we? Read the intro paragraph, okay, scroll down a little to read the next and boom I now have a search bar covering half of my page? That’s weird, where did that come from? It’s blocking literally 50% of the page, I can’t read shit. How can I get rid of this? Oh, a close button. Let’s naively close this, naively because we already know better but anyway, click… Aaaaaaand it was a fucking ad. Okay go back, reload page, scroll down aaaaand half the page blocked with another ad

So as you might have figured, this browser didn’t have an ad blocker (using Lemmy connects internal browser here) andr the site is completely and 100% useless, I can’t read it on a mobile device. So why even bother, then?

I’ll be adding themirror to my permanent block list right now, I won’t ever be able to see anything from that site ever again. I suggest you all do the same and that we add themirror to a list of banned sources for this sub or, better, this instance.

I’m so SO sick and tired of the crap that is now the internet. I gettit, these guys too need to earn a living, but there are better ways to set this up.

Let’s make a world wide independent foundation funded by all governments and that one can pay news organizations to write news. The only rule should be “be independent and truthful”. This is just a single dumb example, I’m sure there are even better ways but FFS, anything is better than this shit

I’m getting to the point where I think I’ll build a web scraper that will just take out the text, maybe a few relevant images, and the render that into a page that shows just that. I know a few sites that can already do that but I’d like something for myself, just self hosted or something.

Yes, it’s the middle of the night and yes, I cannot sleep and yes, this pisses me off because I just wanted to read some news to relax but instead I have to furiously rant because these fuckers again didn’t know that enough should be enough
