Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Worthless trolls. They're not hacktivists if they're leaking innocent government employees' personal information for the most cringeworthy demands possible. I've had to deal with data breach shit like this in the health industry.

Are these dipshits so self-deluded that they really believe they're some sort of activists? I thought Anonymous was cringeworthy enough... At least they aren't such pricks.

I mean of anything this just begs to the fact that our federal NetSec is about as useful as a "do not enter" sign on an unlocked door.

Meh, they're never going to give in to any demands under any circumstances so the next best thing you can do (besides doing something more productive with your life) is do it for the memes.

Just think if they hacked them trying to get the government to enact free healthcare or lower taxes, the outcome would have been the exact same.

It continues to be the case that there's a surprising intersection between the technology community and furries.

Depending on your age there was Roxy, Maid Marion, Gadget, and probably another dozen anthropomorphic cartoon animal women who were friendly, approachable, and generally built as the kind of woman that a shy nerdy kid would like. It's not that surprising that some portion of folks who like computers more than they like people also like anthropomorphized animals better than they like people.

Ok seriously what the fuck did I do wrong to get stuck in this timeline?

The instant you decided to spell Wendsday as Wednesday it was already too late.

For dimension jumpers, if you make this mistake you fucked up, you went too far.

Furry Try not to hack some random government organization challenge

This is so insane, I went full circle to "there's no way these guys are that stupid, they must actually be on to something!"

Does anyone remember #lulzsec?

Same feels.

Or am I getting lulzsec mixed up with #antisec. One was just hacking random things (at the FBI's instruction) for no real reason and the other was mostly just hactivism.

God, schmod. I want my monkey-man!
