For my Americans across the pond, I ask earnestly:
What could Russia do today that would cement themselves as an unparalleled oligarchy where just a few people control everything with no regard for anybody else in their country, that the US isn’t already doing?
Let me guess.
A bunch of kids who have never seen COBOL before use AI to rewrite it all into a language they also can’t read, do the bare minimum of checks, and then run millions of payments through it.
This from the genius bar whose hard drive “overheated” when they ran a query on 60,000 records.
It does sound a bit like creating plausible deniability for some sketchy transactions later on.
Ugh that overheated shit pisses me off. Everyone decided they can just make up whatever they want and there will be no repercussions for flat out intentional lies. So annoying.
Musk remains true to his Disney villain character and I stand by my previous wish for his fate to be:
…eaten by hyenas. Preferably hyenas he had recently betrayed to save his own skin.
At the rate were going were going to get the bad ending which is:
…Chinese bombers over Washington blotting out the sun.
He’s going about it all wrong. Make the new system run parallel to the old system, THEN take the old system down. This is being done wrong on purpose.

I’m stealing this. I’ll credit you if I remember. (I won’t… You’ll just be “someone on Lemmy”)
My proudest achievement! 😁

“Hey we said ‘rapidly’, nobody said anything about it still working when we’re done”
These dumb fucks are going to have blood on their hands. I hope they all catch a bullet
Soon or later they will. I just hope it is more soon than later.
I remember some years ago outcry about platforms offering hitman services for bitcoins…
They did pardon the founder of a service like that recently……
I never wish death on anybody. But I wouldn’t be in a hurry to capture the assailant
“Are You Alive Project” targeting what these operatives believe to be improper payments and fraud within the agency’s system by calling individual beneficiaries.
They won’t be when you starve seniors to death on the streets, fucking ghouls.
The problem isn’t the 1% skimming off 90% of the wealth, it is someone’s old mom or dad getting a few grand a year.
This is absurd, they have no business doing this.
Break it, privatize it, squeeze for every penny. That’s their business.
Democracy should give a ROI
Well, there goes disability for me, my full time care twin, and my siezure prone full time care sister…
