It’s not an IT fix for HR problem. It’s literally just a best practice in IT security and has absolutely nothing to do with people. It’s a priciple of least required access. It’s not just for website filters, it applies to all aspects of security. In this case, it’s to prevent fishy websites being visited by accident - for example your finger slips and you misspell a company website address and all of a sudden it redirects you to a phishing version of Microsoft SSO login portal you always use to sign in to work. You didn’t notice it and you input credentials compromising your system.
These websites are rampant, constantly finding new ways to social engineer ways for people to accidentally visit them and can’t be added to a filter as fast as they pop up. That’s why you block by default. It’s a lot easier to make a list of websites required for your work than to exclude every potentially harmful website that’s getting generated magnitudes faster than any internal company portal.
This is a very simple example of applying the “least privilege” security principle. It’s akin to you not leaving your front door open and unlocked just in case one of your friends drops by, but instead giving the friend a set of keys and locking your door.
I should note that I don’t think that’s what musk is doing to our government but since you seemed to have misunderstood what the security principle is actually meant for I wanted to add some context.
I find it so hard to have good messaging on this topic because we first have to convince half this country that helping others is a virtue not a weakness. How do we convince a deeply selfish population that helping neighbors and keeping our nation healthy and educated are not “communist plots to make everyone poor” but just basics of a successful society. I can argue politics all day but once someone thinks empathy is a weakness or a sin, I just don’t know what to say anymore. We need a fundamental societal shift and that has to start locally I think.
Just your average extortion scam ran at country wide scale. The motivator is literally pay or die… that’s just mafia with extra steps.

Again we’re just over generalizing for no reason. A large part of what? America? I don’t think the trends here are the same exact thing as mainland china or Africa my dude. You can’t find that moment in history at all because you’re just projecting an America/western Europe centric view of the world onto the entire world’s population.
Usually I’d let this go but by all principles of design and all historic reality you’re just wrong. You want “optimum shape” wtf are you even talking about? Optimum for what? You talking aerodynamics? Because newsflash, check last 30 years of F1 with as optimized aero as it gets and it’s a spec car … yet they still have brilliant unique and recognizable designs. Idk what a designer did to you to be so salty about this but you’re just wrong and it’s a very weird hill to dig yourself onto

Okay if it’s due to porn than why has this trend been cyclical and dates back to ancient Egypt at least? There’s evidence of people shaving their pubes in the Roman times as well. It’s maybe come back in style because people saw it in porn but that’s just a trigger not really an explanation given the historic context
Restricting websites and whitelisting the ones you’re supposed to have access to is literally like one of the fundamental rules of it security. What are you talking about?
I don’t think this particular case was about security but pretending that block-by-default is not a good security practice is dishonest.
That’s part of why trump got elected lol. Rather than trying to fix the issues while retaining some level of government, some people were like “let’s have a brutal authoritarian dictatorship and change things for the worse. That will show democrats!” Meanwhile nobody votes in the primaries or their local elections
That’s the same as 2nd option
Because they make the product worse to gate working features behind a paywall without spending development time and money. It’s the opposite of innovation, it’s going backwards. The parasite class (investors) reward that behavior with more investment because now the company has increased profits by selling the working used-to-be-free features at a premium. They couple that with buybacks and layoffs to juice the stock price … and then discard the husk of a company and start a new one
Even if you disagree with what that guy wrote it’s not in any way virtue signaling. Like brother what?
Same shit?
If republicans want to root out fraud … as is often said “suicide is always an option”. That’d be the best way to both drain the swamp and root out corruption by republicans lol
And by here on out you mean since last November right ? The numbers don’t mean anything for a while now
Just another way to allow hateful right wing content to stay up while punishing users who aren’t retarded for upvoting Luigi memes and saying trump is a fascist etc
What else is new on Reddit? They should just pull the trigger and make an official bigots only policy like twitter
Enshitification drives stock prices. Only the rich care about stock prices and they have no interest in using the platform. The platform dies off a death of a thousand cuts… story as old as time
Hey now, in Poland it’s like every other couple
Naturalized citizen here originally from Poland. It took 6 years waiting to be eligible to apply for green card, another 2 to actually get a green card, then another 5 years of living in the states to be able to apply for citizenship. So total of 13 years. Granted Poland was in a different political climate 25 years ago and it was difficult to ever get into the US so it really depends on “country of origin”.
The only thing that should come out of not paying for fair labor should be guillotines
Yeah but you can’t use that energy if you’re intellectually consistent. Then again that requires an intellect in the first place and conservatives only have parroting of other dumb people’s words without a hint of understanding.
