That’s my point, I always have a reasonable suspicion of anything I get from the Internet, but I don’t trust any site just because some underpaid functionary or corporate employee in its respective country said it’s good.

That’s the ecosystem. WordPress itself is pretty basic, these things attack plugins, and their often not-very-experienced creators and users. The thing with WordPress is that this kind of vulnerability comes with the problem space, not the particular solution. If there was a different product in the same space, it would not fare better by default.

Also, I’d bet that a ton of CVEs are filed for C++ libraries, yet nobody is harping on about how insecure C++ is.

There’s a huge industry of people making wordpress sites who shouldn’t.

And this is why I hate the state of the whole hacking scene and that now nation states are also carrying out en masse attacks. Everyone should be free to make a site on Wordpress or whatever. If they can’t, that’s how we get everyone on like 3 corporate platforms like Facebook.

I’d guess it’s not because of the inherent insecurity of WordPress, but the sheer size of the ecosystem and the fact that like 40% of the Internet is WordPress sites.

So what are trustworthy TLDs?

I do like Mull, but I’m also uninformed and I don’t use my mobile browser all too much.

Bank spokesman says they are itching to be the sector to fire the most workers, poised to make the economy so much better.

To be honest, not many Europeans do

It’s kinda fucked up that each major political camp denies some genocide. Like we could replace who you vote for with which genocide was a shamocide?

Say that again after you sit the same IT exams as I did.

Do US juries need a reason to kick people off? Isn’t it like both sides in a case get to throw off a set amount of people?

To me, the whole article seems like the US justice system coming apart at the seams because of it having two publics with two sets of norms.

It actually makes total sense. Since the real constituency of most politicians who they actually are responsible to are big corporate interests, there is no point polling people, just poll Google, Meta and the like.

I mean the reason she lost last time is apparently because she wasn’t 80 yet.

F-Droid could go through it, the thing that is prohibited is for Google to bar them just because they are a competitor.

From the original source:

Board members Jacqueline Rosario and Gene Posca, who voted in the majority, were backed by Moms for Liberty during their campaigns, according to Treasure Coast Newspapers. The third “yes” vote came from Kevin McDonald, who was recently appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

“We are elected — I was appointed, vote of one — we are here to represent the parent’s decisions, and the school board is the final authority for our citizens,” McDonald said at last month’s meeting, explaining some of his disagreement with the book.

“The title itself and the theme challenges our authority. And it even goes so far as to not only to mention books that are deemed inappropriate by school boards, including ours, it not only mentions them but it lists them.”

These people are just caricatures of themselves.

Except we would grab loans from our banker friends who are also in on the scheme, and use some of that money to pay taxes and buy some congresscritters to avoid further taxes. The banker guys would then grab some loans themselves, preferably also from each other, as they slowly repackage the whole thing and then sell it to retirement funds to make it everyone else’s problem. /s

In which we all participate whether we like it or not.

The difference is that the stock market has a very distorted definition of value.

If you say that the value of something is what someone else is willing to pay for it, I could trade my house with a friend and say they paid a billion for it, except they paid me with their own billion-dollar house, and we would both become billionaires. Of course, that would be bullshit, but if my friend and I sat on the board of the FED, it would somehow become actually real.

I see how that works, but the question is, how far can that stretch? Wall Street already tells us there is stuff worth more than 40 years of the US GDP trading around in their pockets, so how much more can that get before they get called on their bullshit like me and my hypothetical friend?

It’s a weirdly racist take on manifest destiny, with a lot of rambling.

I’m not a US voter, I am not saying people should not vot for Biden because of this. That said, the Israeli genocide is a wedge issue for Dems. I don’t think them expending political capital to help Bibi is good for the world and tgeir chances to get elected.
