    Damn… it’s almost like a ton of cleared developers just got laid off without cause. I wonder how this happened.

    Wouldn’t it be fucking wild if an AI was in charge of validating clearance in 2025? I bet a ton of people would be shocked. That being said, there’d be at least several handfuls of people that knew.

    Dox my ass. Public officials being identified shouldn’t be controversial. We pay them. We deserve to know who they are so we can do something when they act like Nazis.

      I’m a government official and people can walk in the building and demand to see my text messages and emails, and I have to hand them over (with reasonable, well-defined reactions categories like social security numbers, home addresses of certain officials and citizens, etc).

      And that’s a good thing.

      I’m not gonna say I enjoy Open Records Requests, but that’s mostly because it’s a pain in the ass redacting shit, and I recently had to do a TON because a very high-profile person had interactions with the city and every journalism outlet in the country submitted slightly different requests thay required me having to do reactions on about 10,000 pages of documents despite the requests only covering about 30 emails between them.

      But it’s a pain I’m willing to put up with to maintain transparency.

        Twice you got autocorrected from reactions to reactions, and the idea of doing reactions (as in reactions videos) on 10,000 pages of documents does sound like a pain in the ass.

      There’s a lot of free and public ways to do this today. It’s just a question of property ownership. Property needs to be appraised yearly for tax consideration. If there was a website or something similar that provided the same function, man… I’d bet it’s vulnerable.

      Hell as a state employee you can look up my title, how long I’ve been employed, salary, etc. Should be the exact same for feds.

    This is how you protest. Be a pest, put them in the spotlight. Track their identities and make known their actions to the public. They are ashamed, it’s why they wear masks, to hide from public eyes. Let’s put them on blast.

      I don’t think they’re ashamed. I think they want to dodge consequences.

      But I agree with you otherwise.

          I think they fear the social consequences (hence masks), ie. What happens when people they know find out what they do? Surely not everyone they know thinks what they’re doing is good.

    Keep it up, don’t let them have a single moment of peace, they need to feel the fear they are perpetrating on others.

      prolly have to find some discord groups/telegram groups. My best guess is head to the darknet for links, ifykyk. If anyone is stupid enough to post links on the clearnet, they almost deserve to be targeted by LE.

      (then again, imo posting on discord is stupid, but obviously effective in terms of rapid transmission)

        Um, isn’t discord and telegram technically part of the dark net? I always thought the dark net was just direct communication lines and direct links to self-hosted sites/data from individuals.

          I think it’s the deepweb that is unindexed and privately-accessible communications. Mentally I reserve the darkweb for complete obfuscation of identity, e.g. Tor.

          from what I know, there’s the term deepnet or deep web, that includes unindexed websites like databases and whatnot for facebook, telegram , etc. . . . And then there is the term darknet, which refers to websites that don’t use ordinary protocols, like tor or i2p.

          Call it pedantic, but I do think it makes sense to distinguish the two

        Yes, they work. You might check whether there’s a browser extension or something on your network that is filtering the site, or try using a different browser.

          I figure it’s gotta be something on my end, I just can’t figure out what. Pi-hole doesn’t show it in blocked requests. I do use Unbound as my upstream DNS, could be there. Most likely culprit - it’s always DNS!

    That’s nice and all. But you’d better hope nothing happens to any of those Nazi yokels, because I guarantee you the minute one of them has so much as a single hair pulled out of his head, the Trump regime will use it as an excuse to launch a full-blown bloody wave of repression.
