A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
I don't like this app. I don't like the idea of this app. I think the whole thing was misguided.
But let me tell you of a time when I was younger and more festively slutty, I had a few encounters that might have made me a user. Not all men, no, but after the third time a dude threatens to rape you in a park, you start to wonder if you could be doing more to protect yourself.
Remember, ladies, these days you can print your own handguns and make them look like whatever you want.
I'd suggest just buying a small frame pistol. Printing your own and making it work reliably takes a level of know-how and effort.
Holy crap, I never thought about that. That's a whole different take on an assassin's teapot.
I forgot about poison. Everyone should know it's super easy to make poison. Toad venom is so big right now I bet that's easy to get, too.
people uploading puctures of others without their permission getting mad that their pic was uploaded without their permission.
but like, identification like drivers licenses is too far imo.
Current Status: Finding Out.
IIRC it's the app they uploaded the pictures to that had them publicly accessible
Not even an app, it is/was a storage service in Google Cloud that was set up to be public without authentication or without any other security features enabled.
I think it would be great to have an app that warns women about dangerous men. I don't think it's possible for that to exist though, it will ALWAYS be filled up by bitter people making things up so their ex has a harder time dating.
How is it always 4chan. Is the anime shit posting board really where peak tech literate internet users congregate.
No, it's one of the few clearnet sites that still allow anonymous posts without email or anything. Just CAPTCHA. Everything is deleted after a while, so moderation is barely necessary. Many search engines don't even index it. It's a quick way of reporting something interesting anonymously.
so moderation is barely necessary
Heh, no. If the mods took a break for a day the site would be overrun with illegal shit by noon.
You don't need to be a peak tech literate person to have been able to accomplish this.
The level of neglect of security that was involved when creating that app should really be criminal. Door was left wide open for anyone to walk in a take a peek
You'd have to be in the top percentile. There's definitely less than 1% of the population scouring open cloud dumps for cool little treasures. I'm pretty sure less than 1% of people would even know where to begin doing something like that. Part of the issue of Lemmy is that I think people frequently grossly overestimate the tech literacy of the average person.
This moment when you have seen certain xkcds enough times, that you know wi ch one its going to be without even having to take a look at it.
They really do. I'm quite tech savvy compared to the average and most of what people hand wave as easy around here is way beyond me.
yeah, this is neglect bordering on incompetence. at the very least Tea should be suing the fuck out of their half assed vendors.
Different boards on the site have different people. Some boards are somewhat maladjusted nerds with poor social skills like /tg/ others are more technical and home to the unhinged users
This was all new to me a few moments ago. After some reading, I found an interesting article:
Sorry if it doesn't quite fit the sub or the meme. I just found it helpful and at least tangentially relevant to a broader understanding of these phenomena.
Honestly, if I stumbled across open/vulnerable data like that I wouldn't know where else to post that anonymously. 🤷♂️
4chan wouldnt be it. Maybe breachfourms om the darkweb.
Then you can go on the clear web and pretend to be a random user who happened to see the post and then post that somewhere.
Why? Nothing the user that accessed this did was illegal. Like here's an open s3 bucket.... Can't prosecute me for that.
Security through obscurity has unfortunately been a successful argument in the past.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Swartz for a specific example. While he committed suicide before it was resolved it does show the kind of hammer that can be brought down from accessing public info
This one wasnt about conditions or acys though.
Swartz actually had legal 'legitimate' access to that publically funded data.
He was being attacked for exposing the law to the people, they saw it lije like translating the bible out of latin, but even more devastating to power.
yeah but why even give them the chance to try
IMO the thing to do hypothetically is email and CC the news desks of the most legitimate newspapers you can think of with a link to the data.
They will all run the story because if one of them will and the rest dont want to miss the train and they will all reach out to the company asking for comment after they document and verify that the data was publicly available.
It sucks that personal data is exploited and accessed, but a great thing it was discovered and called out. I wish it was disclosed responsibly though
Tbh, if you use the dox 3000 app, you have to expect them not valuing your privacy.
"But I thought I was the one doing the doxxing!"
my doxxing is the only moral doxxing
Usually I would agree, but as it happened to a bunch people who were doxxing thousands of men, I find it kind of hilarious and a peak karma moment!
Its the working class vs the 1%, not gender vs gender.
what happened?
