Agreed! There's apparently a huge ecosystem that I wasn't aware of!

This is very much it.

I'm not trying to dismiss OP either. I'm glad they finally notice. But for a huge population of the world, it's ALWAYS been there. There's been a lot of evil shit. It's just it was never on their doorstep until now.

But this isn't a "The world is all doom and gloom".

There is a significant amount of positive upswings. Looking in the past 10,000 years, we are absolutely in a better era. We can make jokes and shit post about it, but the average person's quality of life back then no where matched what we are doing today. We tend to be relatively safe. We can get a variety of food anywhere.

Humans unfortunately only have a small window of time and don't see it, but there's a lot of good in the past hundred years.

Salute you. It's about letting people know there's resistance

Am I being wooshed? It's impossible to get a flush with the two spades. Or the Aces.

At age 17, I remember running 2 miles to school and then back home so I can save my bus money. I was also playing sports, doing some heavy lifting then repeating it over and over again.

Now I walk a few blocks and I'm like "Enough exercise for today!"

I want this community now

This is kind of my favorite thing on Lemmy right now.

I used to be part of forums where like one forum, the mod was a person who demanded sources with every comment. So you'd write everything like you're submitting it to a college professor.

Then another forum, the mod wants everyone to roleplay as their forest animals.

Reddit made us forget how to be weird.

Not to defend this mod, but people go on the internet and do weird internet things for their own reasons.

Don't take it personally and overthink it.

And from the positive side, your post here made a lot of people laugh. This is the silliest drama I've read in weeks and I needed that. Thanks!

All th AI bots making posts aren't helping with growth?

If you're using Dropbox in 2025, you may already have all of your private data shared with somebody.

They "say" they don't feed it to AI. But Dropbox is bleeding money since 2018 and at some point, will be sold to the highest bidder and from that point, you might as well just store your data on somebody's random website.

 

Summary

Alan Filion, an 18-year-old from California, was sentenced to four years in federal prison for orchestrating 375 swatting incidents between August 2022 and January 2024. Operating under various aliases, Filion charged clients for making false emergency calls that prompted significant police responses. His hoaxes included threats of school shootings and bombings, targeting institutions across the U.S., U.K., and Canada. Despite being questioned by the FBI in July 2023, he continued his activities until his arrest in January 2024, where he pled guilty to multiple charges.

 

A project called "Remove-DEI" shows the tweaks used to remove "forbidden words" from a database about childhood school readiness.

The updates, shown in Github commits, are to a database for the Department of Health and Human Services’ Head Start program. They show a project called “Remove-DEI,” which reveal some of the back-and-forth that is happening behind the scenes to align federal agencies with Donald Trump’s executive orders that forbid almost anything having to do with race or gender within federal agencies. The Github pages show software engineers discussing amongst themselves how to best remove all instances of “forbidden words” from a specific database, and the code updates they used to do it. The changes also show that, while thousands of government datasets are disappearing from the internet, even ones that remain are having parts of their utility deprecated or broken in a way that may not be visible to those outside the government.
