They would be if it wasn't easy to import them. It's not like modern mass production has made gun violence possible because up until then it was too hard to manufacture guns. It's similar to services: you can your own email s

A big part is also that wp.org is very tolerant of malicious-adjacent actors. Actual malware? the plugins will get blocked. Plugin randomly starts injecting javascript from a third party domain that displays some football related widget wit

You're arguing that being an open fascist is better than being someone you suspect to be a fascist, even though they haven't said anything that confirms it. Weird take.

I think the point was: it might be a bit more expensive for them, but it wouldn't stop them from getting guns. Guns are important to their business, they would manufacture them themselves if they could not buy them. Would it cost them

What's the difference? The users think they talk to some specific person and form a connection with them, and they don't. Whether they get strung along by a human, a chatbot, or a simple cronjob - does it matter?

We're very boring, our stack is PHP/postgres/mysql. A lot of Symfony, a lot of Symfony-style-code on top of Wordpress (mentioning that usually puts people off but it's all PHP in the end, and you can choose to write clea

That absolutely makes sense, but I'm not sure it is the reason. I mentioned we're remote first: we hire _everywhere_. I've been with this company for 7 years, and haven't traveled to HQ even once, and have worked from ho

not GP, but we're hybrid but remote-first and 80% is remote and we have the same experience. Getting juniors is easy, getting seniors+ is very difficult.

Could be, but this doesn't. It has the same name and is _about_ the same thing, but it doesn't look like the other site. Just because you have pocksuppet.org and I hack pocksuppet.net doesn't mean that one of us is phishing.

"Phishing" has a _very_ different meaning from "offer the option to sign up for a newsletter", let's not conflate the two.

Sorry, got distracted. Anything you can do with query builders, you can do with SQL of course, it's just more difficult / verbose (to me). Let's say I have a lot of entities that are tied to domains, and I have users that hav

No, I'm saying if you want to alter SQL queries programmatically, you'll either do some quick hacks with regexps that you'll regret, or you need to build something to do that, and that will look suspiciously like a query buil

But there's also value gained in it, isn't there? I very much like doctrine's query builders and being able to analyze and manipulate queries programmatically, e.g. dynamically add a filter to a query and a join if needed. Th

It always depends on who you consider the user. The one who initiated the agent, or the one who interacts with it? Is the latter a user or a victim?

You don't need to access (or even have access to) the DB server itself (e.g. to read the query-log), you can do everything by just setting a different host to connect to.

It's not always a protest against government, sometimes it a campaign of lobbying, sometimes it's international attention. The US government wasn't a friend of Kony in 2012. Before Trump 2, the US were not that friendly with

It's true that the recipient of the protest might be different, but that's no reason to be quiet. China in Tibet, China's treatment of the Uyghurs, Russia's war against Ukraine, Kony 2012 etc, there are lots of causes wh

At which point do you cross the line? Somebody who murders to take someone else's money is ultimately just too lazy to provide value in return for money, so they're not evil?
