I suppose my argument is that if a law is unjust, then so is the punishment for breaking it.
My bad directing towards whistleblowers when you meant journos. And only about them encouraging others to break the law. Even talking about journalists though I think the same logic can apply. If one lives in for example, an authoritarian regime, any word spoken against the state is considered unlawful. If we apply the situation to less authoritarian government, that still have laws against disseminating information about the government, we run up against the same issues. It’s against the law to show your government doing wrong. So what recourse is left but to break the law in hopes that you can effect some change?
How is a journalist or a whistleblower to call out the worst without breaking the laws or discussing the same? I get that they can sometimes, your two examples, though I’m not familiar with the instances, I’m sure are great examples of when it all goes right. But some information that should be made known, will see the government pursuing the full extent of the law and potentially beyond, against individuals involved in its dissemination. Journalist, whistleblower, exfiltrator, won’t matter.
I can understand protecting innocent people by censoring what comes out. I think that Assange is a scumbag and don’t like how he operates, but I also think governments need to be held accountable for their actions and choices.
I probably have the jargon wrong as I’m no lawyer. But I would still think the count severity should matter more than it does.
DDOS against a little self hosted instance isn’t really a concern I’d have. I’d be more concerned with the scraping of private information, ransomware, password compromises, things of that nature. If you keep your edge devices on the latest security patches and you are cognizant on what you are exposing and how, you’ll be fine.
I know that’s the norm but you’d think that even with it being the first time he was caught, the 30 count would warrant a more serious response. What would they do if he did this 30 times with a trial between each commitment of a felony? I think that should be a deciding factor even if it’s not likely to be.
How do you suggest a whistleblower actually get and release the information they need to prove themselves if not by breaking bad laws that protect corruption?
Not trying to drum up an argument but I think your black and white stance is flawed.
No worries, just wanted to be sure. 🙂
For the company or the workers? For the company to die on rto mandates, fully agree.
Good luck! Everything will work out eventually.
Yeah I was looking at it and was thinking the article writer is grossly misunderstanding the device. It looks like it’d be a fantastic item for their use case and it’s highly impressive that some high schoolers did that. But it’s not exactly a design that will take over for home and enterprise switching.
Dammit. I didn’t think of them. I’m so heartless.
I played Blades for a little while until it got too ‘gimme gimme’ about me paying. Then I stopped. Not paying to win.
Yeah, the exposition was part of what made DE weaker to me. Too much plot lead to losing the plot. The gameplay was fun enough overall, and I enjoyed a lot of the changes. But it was also too fuckin much keyboard ballet and pattern recognition for my tastes. If I want to kill something in a way that’s not the prescribed way, I want to be able to do that. But it became a formula and that’s not a playstyle I like because it bores me. It becomes math homework. Couple that formulaic approach with the fuckin massive swarms of unrelenting enemies and you end up having to fight like a robot. I preferred the 2016 mantra of fight like hell.
Lol to be fair, if you are in a thread on Doom, Disco Elysium isn’t something I’d expect seen or abbreviated.
I can see a lot of DE Fans not enjoying this. But DE was a weaker entry to me so I’m excited to play this one.
Because neither of those are forced imperialist occupations.
It would be the most on brand thing to do too imo.
Too little too late, I’m not getting any more versions of windows.
America is stupid for excessive guns. But this is stupid in the other direction. Talk about over policing. Fuck me this is stupid
