Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

And that kid is now 100% being aggressively attacked my highly sophisticated nation state threat actors. More than likely already compromised.
No doubt in my mind.
As if they're not gaining access to hand it over to those nation states.
Everybody with a mind to is hacking the snot out of the US Government rn
One can only hope.
I am so very glad that a GovIT job offer I got some years ago was low balled and I ended up declining it LMAO
Yeah I was up for a job at Commerce last year and didn’t make the final cut. Thank glob.
Praise be to Glob!
Those job salaries are public information
So are those of us who have done infosec with TS/SCI clearances, and have a deep understanding of how it's supposed to work vs how easily it was all circumvented.
It literally is like "so what if we just ignore all the laws, and Congress lets us?"
Computer security is worthless when those in charge of the systems just roll over
on the bright side.
we will all be witness to the largest Con ever played on a Government and the entire population of a Nation, in the history of the world....in broad daylight out in the open.
keep notes, future historians will have questions.
The little gif of the computer shaking, causing me to question my eyesight further. Thanks I hate it.
Especially since gifs as article thumbnails are far from common. I'm surprised my client even supports that
