There were already people called "inspector generals" which handled waste, fraud, and abuse but Trump fired about 17 of them in his first week. Deploying tech bros to solve the problem is naive at best and malicious at worst. The

I recall the President of El Salvador tweeting that this was being turned into what is essentially a labor camp ("zero idleness program") to pay back the costs of constructing and running CECOT. Moreover, if I'm keeping track

I doubt FOIA is even a concern considering this is classified information. I think they're more worried about investigations by a future DOJ or by a future Congress since they can look at this information (if it's not deleted, tha

Tangential, but there was a recent sandbox escape vulnerability in both Chrome and Firefox. The bug threads are still private, almost two weeks since it was disclosed and fixed. Very strange. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/sho

I think what they mean is: these plans were made in another time so they might harm the company financially (or be extremely lopsided) given the "new mandate" (may change again too) from the Trump admin. Just a measure to take a s

Exactly, Signal should be used for "official" things like scheduling lunch with colleagues. I don't think it's proper (and potentially illegal) to be planning the things they did on there. It's too easy to screw up

The point is that the government didn't force these companies to take down the content. That, coupled with the endless legal witch hunts against Hunter Biden should be sufficient enough for Republicans but I guess it isn't. This s

This was obvious to any serious person. The common "centrist" (shy Republican) take was that Dems were just being hyperbolic again. It was never surprising that Republicans would try to ratfuck 2028 to keep Trump in power and th

I think both things can be true: this involves espionage and the FBI collected what it needed then "disappeared" them.

Ah okay, so they wrote a strongly worded letter that said they couldn't confirm it was disinformation but that it had the signs of a disinformation campaign? So, they didn't threaten punishment or coerce these companies into doi

No, this is winning and completely fine if you go down a path of mental and legal gymnastics. The argument now is that non-citizens (even permanent residents) are a different class of people that the bill of rights doesn't apply to.

What do you mean the story was suppressed by the FBI? Are you referring to the Twitter files which didn't find that the government coerced any social media companies and that Republicans were submitting the same requests?

I think GP means "relying on" in the "avoiding official record keeping" sense rather than the feature being used literally. You could explain away the latter as a bug or accident, BUT given the brazen corruption of thi

But the article says they publicly posted about being "valued partners" with DiamondCDN. That seems to be more than just some criminals signing up and using the CDN. At the very least it creates more questions than answers, no?

The next administration is going to have to replace all these systems. You have inexperienced, sketchy, and hostile actors who've gained physical access to them. They can't be trusted anymore.

The C++ interop story for Swift isn't the most clear cut, though. You're forced to use Apple's fork of llvm (meaning no GNU or mainline clang support) and there are issues tracking the current blockers[0]. Along with other re
