You’re welcome to be a spineless muppet trying to obey unethical laws, but I won’t be.

“It’s just a harmless field; what’s the big deal?”

The big deal is that it’s on the heels of age verification bullshit that fascists are pushing through with the help of tech bros, so that they can eventually push all of us into a scenario where we have zero privacy.

It’s not the adding of the field itself or the fact that it can be filled with nonsense. It’s the reasoning backing it.

“But it’s the law!”

Yeah, fucking and…? It’s a stupid mass surveillance law disguised as a protection, and per usual, it’s written like vague dog shit. This is the smallest part of the wedge. More will come of this and if developers like this keep volunteering themselves to help the fascists, we will all be fucked. Here’s an alternative approach: just don’t add this. You can fight back by not fucking implementing this. Easy.

No work is getting done there. They’re pretending it does.

It’s just computers all the way down.

I was actually having fun until we were all forced to use AI or fall behind. Now it’s boring as fuck and I’m not even allowed to work part-time? Typical capitalist scam.

That said, I like being an adult with adult money. I wouldn’t go back.

Best advice I can give is eat as many vegetables as you can and skip this crap.

My mistake! There is always a morgin of error with this stuff.

Don’t forget… Homor.

This also seems weird, since on one hand there’s indication for a professional, targeted attack, and other points sound more like rookie script kiddies.

After watching a handful of videos about scam and hack houses in India, this isn’t far off. A hodge podge of knowledge they’ve garnered over the years, cobbled together with scripts they’ve picked up.

Explain to me what the troll is here. I read the entire post. Seems like someone got access to one thing and then tried their hand at others. Easy to do when your first point of access (the router) is setup poorly.

I saw this happen years ago with a collocated Apache web server that the company failed to update Plesk on. Find one doorway and things fall like dominoes. We found hacks that weaved all the way into individual websites.

Who are you helping with this naive reply?

My wife has had her dog shit work PC on the network all this time without any of my forethought about this. She has problems everyday with that stupid OS. Fuck.

I look back now and remember how rewarding it was when that DivX file finally finished. “Hell yeah, movie time!”

This is clever. Thanks for sharing! I’ve been kinda doing this manually using Cursor. I put it into “Ask” mode and it walks me through bits. If it’s coding work that I prefer doing (I’m a frontend guy but can do backend), I write the code myself. That way I’m still retaining the knowledge like you’re doing.

20 years in the tech field for me, if you count my start as a graphic artist. I don’t even know what I’d pivot to. Cyber security maybe…?

I feel like my life is writing prompts to AI now. If you don’t fall in line, you’re basically out of a job. A human can’t keep up. If the goal was to completely ruin my desire to write code, they’ve succeeded.

Hell yeah, friendo.

Pineapple and jalapeño is fire on pizza. I don’t care what anyone says.
