that is the limp dickiest ‘criticism’ i’ve ever seen. please go back to your tankie instance.

bro read ‘entrepreneurial glands’ and really got mildly infuriated about it

getting an suv changed my life

i’m so tired of nothingburger feel good ‘stories’ about search trends

Moreover, users of the satellite receivers were involuntarily taking part in attacks and might have experienced reduced device performance during these occurrences.

the article isn’t 100% clear, but this line suggested to me that they were being used to perform attacks themselves (although it also states “Allegedly, the functionality was needed to counter the attacks of a competing entity.”)

anyone else remember low orbit ion cannon DDOSing? i guess life imitates art

not only did they gut the API for actual people, they carved out exceptions for “low volume users” to keep the bots inflating activity
