IIT: People who think they’re oh so smart.
Also ITT: Those same people thinking Trump personally hired the people redacting the files.
Working IT, it’s impressive how many people don’t understand basic computer functions. Even young people who grew up with technology. I impressed someone by fixing something by quitting and relaunching an app the other day. C’mon…
For those who don’t know, the title of the post refers to an error code, ID-Ten-Tee, meaning IDIOT.
Another would be PEBKAC: Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair.
Even young people who grew up with technology.
There is now a middle sweet spot of computer literacy that spans Gen X and Millennials. When you go younger than that, you start running into people who never owned a normal computer growing up and only ever used smartphones/tablets.
By making devices simple enough for grandma to use, we inadvertently fostered a new generation of people who are as computer literate as grandma.
I got out of tech because I assumed Gen Z would be way better at it than I was.
I got back in when I realized, I was one of the generation that actually knows this shit, without having a CS degree even.
Layer 8 issue.
Weren’t there 1000 FBI agents working on those files? Shouldn’t at least one of them know?
Back in my days, it was only ID10T. The s is new >_<
this is how I feel when I was on the FBI page and saw the now deleted trump photo before they deleted it. Surreal experience.
Or, normalized. The trump regime are the “radicals.”
true
i like this one because it was LITERALLY the adobe highlighter tool set to black
That was my exact response when I saw this yesterday
It could have been incompetence, yes… Or it could have been someone who knew this would slip by the Trump loyalists and end up getting published.
True enough. I waffle between good intention and incompetence.
Both things could be true at once.
But it’s far more likely they’re all just that stupid.
Ah yes, the famously super-competent FBI directed by political loyalists who’s only qualifications are heavy plastic surgery and blind faith in an evil idiot.
I would do that if given the opportunity.
Oh I get it because they’re stupid
There is a non negligible chance that some of this was done on purpose.
I was wondering that too.
True that. We can hope there’s an insider doing the right thing. But, we are dealing with the Trump admin that sent a lot of institutional knowledge packing. Instant karma gonna getcha.
Oooh, those hackers who crtl-c ctrl-v are so damn smart!
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
This is the crazy thing. This is some kind of invocation of Poe’s Law around Hanlon’s Razor. I want to believe this is someone on the inside resisting, but we’ve already seen so many examples of this administration’s gross incompetence that I don’t feel certain of that. It’s this real incompetence? Or resistance as a parody of that incompetence?
If anyone like me was looking for proof this is actually possible in the files:
Broe’s video showed him copying several paragraphs from one document in the DOJ’s Epstein library/2022.03.17-1%20Exhibit%201.pdf) from the “Court Records” section. While the paragraph Broe selected includes several redactions, all of the redactions were removed after Broe pasted the paragraph in question into a Word document. AlterNet was able to confirm that that specific document’s redactions could be read in Word, as well as in Mac’s Pages application and in Google Docs.

Is there a collection/description of all the data gathered this way?
Nothing will happen.
c’mon man don’t be a chud. If everyone expects nothing to happen nothing will. If everyone calls for something to happen there’s a higher chance it will
My humble yuletide shitpost. It’s the giving season, don’t you know?
It’s great :>

Maybe they are not stupid. Maybe some junior analyst don’t agree with this so they left like that on purpose

A single junior analyst causing such a breach of redacted information would still point towards incompetence on an organisational level. This should really be something every person who works in publishing documents with redacted informations should be trained to spot.

Maybe a mix of both. Spite and stupidity is a deadly combo
