- sylware 2y agoWOW! CNN is aware of the importance of noscript/basic (x)html?! This "lite" domain is really interesting.
- Jtsummers 2y agoIt's been around for decades, at least since the 00s if not the 90s. I used to view it from a dumbphone with slow, early 3G data. NPR also has https://text.npr.org https://text.npr.org.
- sylware 2y agoThis should be mandatory for all the web where reasonable.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoWell... Google tried AMP and people hated it.
- sylware 2y agoYou don't need AMP, and that was quite a bad move. noscript/basic (x)html is more than enough, like it was before the web take over by script kiddies and the technical abominations which are google financed and apple financed web engines (with their SDKs...). No need of anything new. If new, it would have to be as simple, actually significantly simpler (and more rigorously defined) to code a full parser/renderer than noscript/basic (x)html. If you need more than basic HTML forms, usually it means something is wrong somewhere on your side.
- quantified 2y agoLet's see how careful their security was. Did this require nation-state capability or did someone leave the default password in place?
- booi 2y agowasn't trumps twitter password 'maga2020!'?
- halfcat 2y agoYes and before that it was ‘yourefired’
- droptablemain 2y agoNon-technical boomers are really bad at password security.
- dragonwriter 2y agoTrump is not a Boomer.
- krapp 2y agoTrump is definitely a boomer. Boomers were born during the baby boom after World War 2, Trump was born in 1946, which was the first year of the boomer generation.
- soul_grafitti 2y agoI am pretty sure it would have been: 'yourfired'

- AnimalMuppet 2y ago> In 2016, days before the Democratic National Convention, WikiLeaks published nearly 20,000 emails from the Democratic National Committee server. Those emails included comments from DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz that suggested the committee was favoring Hillary Clinton over Sen. Bernie Sanders in the primary. Wasserman Schultz resigned in the aftermath of the leak. Officials later said they thought the cyberattack was linked to Russia. > After the hack, Trump publicly encouraged Russia to hack Clinton’s private server and release her emails. He later said he was joking. I had forgotten that. That seems oddly symmetric to that. The Trump campaign says that Iran wants Harris because it knows that he, Trump, "will stop their reign of terror just like he did in his first four years in the White House". Nice way to turn it into a talking point, I guess. Does anyone recall how accurate it is? Did Trump really crimp Iran's style during his presidency?
- p51-remorse 2y agoNot a Trump fan, but I think it’s fair to say that Iran felt much less free to be jerks during 2017-2021 than recently. Very early in 2017, Trump sent a bunch of missiles into Syria (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Shayrat_missile_strike https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Shayrat_missile_strike) after they behaved badly. It seemed to have a chilling effect on the whole region for most of his presidency. Much less insanity happened for the following four years than normal.
- awnird 2y agoThe article you linked suggests the opposite. "According to an analyst writing for HuffPost, the 2017 Deir ez-Zor missile strike by Iran suggests that the country has shifted its three decades-long policy of testing, but not using missiles, as a reaction to Donald Trump's escalation in the Middle East, including "needless increase" in America's military involvement in the Syrian proxy war.[121]"
- hindsightbias 2y agoYes, Iran was so kindly to rain ballistic missiles on US troops: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Martyr_Soleimani https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Martyr_Soleimani Certainly showed them who was boss.
- TrackerFF 2y agoIIRC, some years back a white hat hacker guessed his twitter password - which was "yourefired", and contacted the Trump team to inform them of this weakness. They then briefed Trump on picking a password with letters, numbers, and special characters, etc. - like "maga2020!", which is what he went with. For whatever reason, he did not use 2FA. So I'm not at all shocked they got "hacked" if that type of carelessness is the standard.
