The FBI said the information came from a “sensitive source with excellent access” and introduced the report as a warning about “extremist actors targeting law enforcement officers and federal facilities”.

Remember kids, look into securing your phone & only add people to your group chats that you have good reason to trust.

I wasn’t really referring to this post with that question - though it is relevant that leaving even an effectively unconstrained field like one that allows for the shrek script to be submitted would have seen me fired (if it had somehow passed QC, field sizes are one of the first things checked).

I was more curious about how different our experiences seem to be: you seem to imply a background where you’re expected to take the requirements as gospel with what you write based solely off that unless you’re personally invested, whereas in my experience engaging critically with the project is the single most important aspect of the development process, and not questioning potentially unwanted behavior leaves you open to firing (or criminal neglect if you’re dealing with medical PII, criminal records, etc…)

I’m quite genuinely interested in the different approach to development philosophy you present here.

Sincere question, are you not expected to clarify questionable business rules? I’ve never worked somewhere that leaving such an obvious issue like “unrestricted fields in a public-facing application” without getting it explicitly stated that that’s intended functionality wouldn’t have gotten me fired instantly.

Yeah, sleepy and wasn’t thinking about file sizes. That 1Gb limit (or, the Tsql 65,536 * [something] limit) was what I was referring to, but rather obviously the plaintext script for the movie is a just a little tiny bit smaller than that (51kb).

It’s still a good deal larger than what in my experience can be fit into a receipt printer, but I can forgive their phrasing even if it was only a small part of the whole script. And aside from that, it does look to be a pretty modern device so it’s very possible that the stupid stupid 20kb file size limit that was so common has since been expanded (Last time I had to deal with a receipt printer the file was streamed over a serial connection into the printer cache before being run off G-code style. Incredibly charming piece of tech…)

Cannot imagine how this could be legit - you’d run into a hard limit unless you explicitly designed that field to be unbounded.

It’s depressingly predictable that this article doesn’t talk at all about the push to restore the Brazilian military presence in Ecuador. That was a huge aspect of the national discourse around this topic that is strangely ignored in pretty much all the english-language reporting on this issue. It feels very much like this was written not to celebrate the victory for Ecuadorian independence, but to claim a loss for the US on a topic I do not know if a single major american news outlet has even mentioned. Most people in the US can’t find Ecuador on a map, the trump officials doubtlessly included. It’s a damn miracle Kristi Noem managed to land in the right country.

There was little real push from the US to even allow bases again, which is part of why this failed so spectacularly - nobody, noem seemingly included, is entirely clear on why Noboa was so heavily invested in getting the US back except because it was the only way he could see to signal his allegiance to trump. It was just extremely odd all around, and a spectacular demonstration that Noboa and his far right cronies have no idea what the hell they’re doing.

It’s not that straightforward - pinephones have varying results depening on carriers, Verizon is notorious for blacklisting them while most of the other major carriers are hit or miss on if you’ll get penalized.

I have a pine phone - they’re super neat because linux on a phone! but… not really usable yet. Not getting texts, random bugs (they fixed the one where you could only receive calls, not make them, but that took a year or more), incredibly laggy UI even just trying to navigate,the battery life is abysmal, the battery management hardware is lacking and the software is even worse, the UIs that exist are poorly supported, basic apps are decently represented but anything not built for mobile is going to be godawful to get working (esp. through something like waydroid), the UI stabbed my puppy, the devices are so underpowered you’re gonna be unable to do things like have two apps open at once or have a video playing in one tab while trying to navigate in another…

The pro phone has supposedly improved the hardware issues, but it’s new and niche enough that I haven’t seen much of a consens emerge (or hardly any in depth testing at all, really). Fairphone is much more usuable, still not without it’s glitches but much better than the pinephones.

Oh hey, it’s you again! How’ve you been? Still doing the “aggressively present some truly spectacular misinterpretation of what I’ve written” thing? Glad that’s working out for you.

Aaaaanyways, I’ve never said or even tacitly implied that it’s okay that trump is stupid, nor have I ever made anything like a hinting gesture that he isn’t stupid, nor have I said that this isn’t evidence of his mental decline, nor have I said that his overall mental decline isn’t relevant.

As is becoming tradition, I invite you to give it another go.

That’s not really the point. Sure you could argue this, but why the hell are we wasting our time arguing about if the stupid detail of him mixing up a word is actually relevant, instead of talking about the "he’s trying to send troops to defend a street" thing? That is my point. I don’t care if people think it’s a sign of cognitive decline, I care that you’re choosing to spend your time talking about that instead of the thing that really pressingly matters.

It is a mall, being a broad street lined with shops and a promenade (though not wholly closed to traffic), but it’s not a classic “shopping mall” as the term is most commonly used in the US (that being a massive temple complex built to honor consumerism and featuring some very bad food). Which makes it even more patently absurd for trump to want to send troops to defend what is essentially just… a street.

(note that trump never actually calls it a mall, he describes it as a “Shopping Center”, adding to my annoyance over this headline…)

According to the article, he’s talking about Magnificent Mile (which is apparently more of a street with stores on it than a classic shopping mall, just to add to the weirdness of him offering to deploy the military to defend it)

I haven’t accused you of anything.

I’ve repeatedly explained my reasoning and position.

And now you’re trying cheap bait and personal attacks. Charming.

Ah, so now we’re pivoting from discussing my actual criticism of the article and how it spawns meaningless discussions to… another meaningless discussion, but this time with random gatekeeping thrown in.

Not exactly sure what your point is but okay.

Was this in any way consequential? Does this show any evidence of anything besides mispeaking? Wait no don’t answer that, I spectacularly don’t care. Instead of talking about something that actually matters you’re starting to drag us both into a debate about the evidentiary value of an old guy briefly mixing up two names that both start with ‘m’.

Isn’t, just maybe, that he’s trying to get troops deployed in US soil once again perhaps a little more important to discuss? But somehow that’s getting overshadowed by your eagerness to spar over the meaningless bullshit I’m criticizing, in a perfect example of my entire godsdamned point.

But people do have a limit to the number of things they can focus on at a time. Made up non-issue bullshit like this just gives the conservatives something to point to to justify their dismissal when legitimate news percolates through the bullshit to reach them, and takes attention that could be better spent on real news elsewhere.

I’m not, I’m criticizing this article taking up just that little bit more of the public’s bandwidth with stupid rhetoric. There’s more than enough that we should be worrying about and ample crimes he’s guilty of, why do we need to bother manufacturing evidence when there’s already overwhelming mountains of evidence just laying around? All this does is discredit our legitimate criticism by association and take up visual space that could be filled with real news.
