lol, I think within the last week here on Lemmy there was a story from someone working at an animal rescue about a hawk that got too fat to fly. It had been nomming on some local free-range chickens and someone found the too-fat-to-fly hawk and called the rescue.

- Well, we got the TNG crew in a dune buggy at least, but you’re right, mountain bikes would be way better exploring rando planets.
- Klingons have targs, right?
- How many eps across all the shows did they show Kaltoh, 3D Chess, etc?
- Didn’t Keiko maintain one in the Enterprise and then eventually converted space on DS9 into one?

EXACTLY. What a pain in the dick. And of course, how do you evaluate if that private security is actually working? It is basically insurance that you hope pays out if something goes sideways.
- Comment on Relatable :( 6 days ago:
Sure, but then you still need to deal with people. And people aren’t trustworthy with money, so now you gotta worry about that too. And what kinda rubric do you even come up with for those interviews for smart people to make sure they aren’t going to just steal your money or lose it through negligence? So now you gotta think about that shit too. Ever done interviews? No thanks. Again, giant fucking hassle.
- Comment on Relatable :( 6 days ago:
It depends on how much risk you want I guess. Amounts that big aren’t covered by deposit insurance in a single account. Banks also fuck up all the time. They could give someone else access to your money without you knowing. And if you have that much money, it makes you a target. There will be tax things you have to do around that money too.
- Comment on Relatable :( 6 days ago:
That much money is a fucking hassle. Everyone wants it and bothers you about it. You can’t just leave it alone, it needs to be managed. Some portion of that money goes to pay for the management of it. And if anyone finds out you have that money, they treat you differently because generally, only shitheads and assholes have that much money. Money is fucking toxic and humanity is a giant disappointment

- Comment on How do people "hack" websites like to shut them down or whatever? Is it as simple as learning C++ and Java? How do people take credit for what they did without being arrested? 1 week ago:
Nah, it isn’t that simple. You need a deep, fundamental understanding of computing to do it yourself. The clankers can do it now for you pretty easily if you know how to whisper to them in the right way. That’s a lower barrier to entry and at that point, knowing just the nomenclature from the cybersecurity sphere in addition to having a solid software engineering understanding, it is enough. Lots of the proofs-of-concept for the PHP vulnerability assumed insecure defaults, for example. This is the clanker cheating and the humans not really being experts enough to recognize that.
Hacking any software is first finding a condition in how the software is written that allows you to subvert an expectation. This can be as simple as providing a buffer and lying about how big that buffer is. It could allow you to read or write arbitrary data somewhere the original developer never expected. That data can be instructions that give the attacker full control. I am giving you a little bit of “the rest of the fucking owl” here because it gets pretty technical.
As for taking credit, this is why they come up with groups with names or they pick pseudonyms. They are seeking status among their own peer group mostly. It is enough to get their name dropped on the news somewhere. Reputation, clout, all the things boring humans desire.

That “gross” was literal. I don’t really like the filling and will happily scrape it off and give it to someone else.

Unpopular opinion: double stuff is just gross. It’s already just vegetable shortening + sugar. The little bit already on the normal cookie is a lot.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Sadly, this is indeed the internet. Remember that humanity is a normal distribution. Even if only some tiny fraction of a fraction are shitheads, billions of people are connected to the internet. That tiny fraction of a fraction could be hundreds of thousands to millions of shitheads. We simply can’t fathom the large numbers and what this means. Stay safe.
