My point is that corporations cannot be victims because they're not people, they're a legal construct. They cannot be victims any more than a table can be a victim when I spill my drink over it. The term "victim", whether intentional or not, is an emotive word that invokes ideas of injustice and suffering.

Marketing teams and corporate executives convinced people and legal systems that corporations are people in an attempt to engender sympathy, personification, and to avoid responsibility for their own failures, like the case in this article where managerial and procedural failures by those in charge led to the ability for this ex-employee to be able to do what he did.

It’s their own fault if they didn’t take the reasonable precautions that anyone should be aware of when going in to business for profit.

Yes I did.

Notice how in my original comment I added "through improper security" and "improper practices".

If you are running a business and get robbed without security cameras, insurance, and other reasonable protective and preventative methods, then you are at fault.

victim blaming

Can't tell if this is sarcasm, but corporations are not people, they are soulless, for-profit enterprises that will, for damn sure, abuse and exploit any one and any thing they can in the name of profit. They don't get the defense of "victim blaming".

If they open themselves up to malicious actors through improper security, or lawsuits due to improper practices, then that's their own fault.

Definitely agree, it's had a great start but needs a lot more content to be considered a full game and not just an entertaining side piece in the Deep Rock Galactic world.

New maps, new objectives, new monsters, new weapons, new powerups, new challenges, endless modes and leaderboards, might even want to think about a pvp mode where the enemy controls the bugs, choosing how and when to release them with cooldowns/abilities.

Hiya! I have a known good Ubuntu 22.04 USB that has worked on other devices, but when I try to install it on this PC I get a blank screen with "stdin: Invalid argument" repeated 30 times or so, and at the bottom it says "Unable to find medium contained a live file system" and then attempts to boot from URL. (For some reason lemmy won't let me upload a picture!)

I've tried multiple different USB ports, I've looked at the BIOS and can't find any secure boot or legacy stuff that needs to be disabled. Not sure how to progress!

Help would be greatly appreciated <3
