Not according to some.

I’m down with that logic, but the bot is just going to keep doing its botty things.

You were right for once, bot. Too bad that is a rare occurrence.

I concur, doctor. I’ll report all its posts and let the mods decide what they want to do.

Ok, cool. Usually those are attached to random sales fronts to boost SEO or something like that. Odd that this one is just blog spamming into the void and getting boosted here, of all places.

It doesn’t seem harmful, but I don’t understand the motivation behind it yet.

Could be a reputation bot here on Lemmy, maybe. That makes sense on Reddit where there is visible karma, but here? (I dunno how kbin works or if it is karma driven. I just noticed that…)

Dunno. Something-something The Freedom Project.

This page (hxxps://freebird-bg0.pages.dev/) is just a generic Hello World page, so that is weird. The title link is just hxxps://orion.pages.dev/

Imma dig deeper and see if I can find anything. First guess is it’s just an AI bot?

Nope. I haven’t been able identify what Yahoo is about for about the last 10-15 years, maybe more.

I think they show ads or something.

There is another aspect to this that we have seen with banks and social media companies: Fines are just a cost of doing business.

I have no comment on this particular political topic, but posting statistics without a source reference is bad form. Maybe it’s not “lying” but it’s misleading, intentional or not. Yes, you did post a source in proper context after you were challenged but it ended up making your original comment look worse. That is my opinion looking from the outside.

If you post data, just cross reference it a couple of times to reduce any friction later. Or don’t. You do you.

Veritasium just explained some math about voting that covers quite a bit: https://youtu.be/qf7ws2DF-zk?si=R1wIgNC-Q4vsgVd8

That gave me the idea to toss in a coconut or two into bags this year. I’ll reserve those for the “kids” that are obviously too old for this stuff.

If not Tyson, then who else is going to step in to ensure our kids are employed in slaughter houses? Will someone think about the kids for once!?

11. Thou shalt not lay with OPs mother.

All the star trek. This is not negotiable.

Bi men, for men.

Cocaine and hookers. That is what I would do with free money. That, or I would invest in a 5-axis CNC machine. It’s a toss up, TBH.

I don’t need to read the article to tell you that three things usually happen: People accelerate their debt accumulation or they pay down their existing debt. A precious few invest or save because they have little debt to start with.

I guess I’ll read the article now.

Edit: Oh yeah. There is that thing were some people actually need to eat, like now. I forgot about that bit.

Were they? Funny thing about that… I tend not to tune in to any bullshit posturing by politicians. Unless actual political action is being taken, anything else gets ignored.

That is SOC2. In this context, it’s Security Operations Center.

It’s one of the better EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) tools on the market. For enterprises, they are able to suck down tons of system activities and provide alerting for security teams.

For detection, when I say “tons of data”, I mean it. Any background logs related to network activity, filesystem activity, command line info, service info, service actions and much more for every endpoint in an organization.

The response component can block execution of apps or completely isolate an endpoint if it is compromised, only allowing access by security staff.

Because Crowdstrike can (kind of) handle that much data and still be able to run rule checks while also providing SOC services makes them a common choice for enterprises.

The problem is that EDR tools need to run at the kernel level (or at a very high permission level) to be able to read that type data and also block it. This increases the risk of catastrophic problems if specific drivers are blocked by another kind of anti-malware service.

When you look at how EDR tools function, there is little difference between them and well written malware.

Crowdstrike became a choice recently for many companies that got fucked over by Broadcom buying VMWare. VMWare owned another tool, Carbon Black, which became subject to the fuckery of Broadcom so more companies scrambled to Crowdstrike recently.

I hope that was enough of a summary.

There are two points getting conflated, and rightfully so. Tucker does spout off a ton of white supremacy and homophobic garbage to gain the popularity with the far-right and he used his platform to echo Kremlin propaganda. Both of those points likely paid very well.

When it comes to misinformation campaigns, yes. Putin appears to call most of the shots. When Putin does any kind of speech, he essentially gives talking points for Russian media to amplify and repeat ad-nauseam for weeks afterward. This is also picked up by right/far-right social media sites and reporters in the US.

While Tucker was likely a useful ally at first, it seems the relationship between Tucker and the Kremlin was fully weaponized leading up to when Trump took office. This has resulted in far-right politicians getting elected and almost by default, their direction is set by Putin and Russian misinformation.

While Putin may not directly “call the shots”, his agenda likey sets the tone for all of his stooges.
