Therewasanattempt to remove the doge employees email list.

Nope, that could still be done with a regular database. Blockchain has no practical use case.

Nah, There’s other ways to store data while preserving confidentiality, integrity and availability that isn’t on the blockchain. Besides A public ledger connected to a specific profile could make it easier for the profile to be doxxed/fingerprinted.

Spitballing here but a service using simple key-pairs might be a better way to do this.

• Users generate a key pair client-side.

• Public key is stored on the server, acting as the user’s identity.

• To update their profile, users sign the request with their private key. (Data is signed/verified client side before submission)

• The server verifies the signature using the stored public key before edits can be made.

Because data signature/verification are done client side theoretically you don’t need a ledger, your client can enforce profile state. (Maybe an HMAC is sent with the verified data and there reverted periodically by the client)

Just public key cryptography. All your actual posts and comment history are already shared. What is missing is a way to authenticate yourself to anyone but your home server. If the protocol included every profile having a public key, you could then use that to authenticate to any server. And managing that private key is no more complicated than managing your private key in a block chain context.

Non public info like subscriptions is a bit more complicated, because there is an actual policy question of who you share it with. You would either need to make it publicly available, keep a copy yourself, or have your home instance give it to you/the other server at the time you want to migrate.

Yeah it's nice to be able to import your list of subscriptions at least. But for comment history, I guess it depends what you're getting out of a place like this. On Reddit, I liked going back sometimes and seeing what I was posting a couple of years ago. Especially if it's personal shit, or even old review posts for movies or whatever. I like having a stable online presence or identity with a history to refer to.

A pretty normal one?

Nice!

Print it out onto a million fortune-cookie-paper-sized pieces of indestructible paper and send them to the wind. Let microplastics do some good for once.

I bet they're home addresses haven't.

I have definetely made a few typos though.

Susan W near the bottom is also "who". She is White House Chief of Staff, so maybe that indicates White House employees differently from doge-specific employees.

idk.

or my current favorite" you shouldnt call everyone a nazi, if you dont agree with them" thats exactly what you should be doing if your spouting pro-nazi statements. i had to block someone on lemmy for saying that, had enough of that on reddit already

I'm just being politically neutral when I say the trans are making eggs unaffordable.

You might want to check to make sure they didnt undelete it. They did that to me

i had one for 11-12 years for sole purpose for a nintendo game, then i forgot i made various throwaways and sub specific accts, to avoid invasive bans, personally thier bans are way to harsh for the slightest mishapp, it all started with trump the first time around, he just made every site too overly sensitive on what they can ban. not only were they targeting "conservative trolls" but now you cant even imply "something should happen" to said gop, conservative. my funniest response i got was, your not allowed to use "black, or demographic, because that sounds racist" also if you accidentally use the wrong word like "her or him on a transgendered person". while when trolls imply violence on "left leaning " people they almost never get removed or dont eradicate that behaviour.

Lol I've been here awhile, but, yes.

I'm not exactly a baby-maker myself. I am quite anti-natalist as a matter of fact.

Historically, people have made babies under much more dire circumstances and some of them made it through so we're here today. I don't feel like having kids either, I know, but I think this sentiment comes from a luxurious position.

Now? That shit has been going on since the 90s. My native population has plateaued since 1990. The only reason the population grew was due to immigrants.

Same goes for America where a LOT of the populations got fewer and fewer kids since the 90s.

After they destroyed any sense of community? Pushing individualism might be what has led to this

Central and South America as well. Canada can be fine

hah ! amazing. Pieces of shit generation after generation

Yeah why not. I sure hope they have OCR enabled

I'm new around these parts. First post, here goes:

He is ripping out U.S government parts, laying off workers without any regard to consequence, and fiddling with parts of the government which shouldn't be fiddled with.

hes indiscriminately firing any federal agency workers, especially the agencies that were investigating him. and its allegedly said in the news hes trying to "distance himself from all the firings"

Yep, date of birth is 71 so it's very unlikely to be an automatic initials+random number username.

Well, not that I approve of the practice, but you could find site logins that the email is used in, breaches that it's been in (potentially finding (old) passwords).

With that info, if not for identity theft directly, can be used for fishing and profiling.

I'm sure that is exactly what it means. The point was to hide it a little bit, it's not the standard first.last of everyone else but to make it still uniquely identifiable as musk. It's not a completely unheard of practice to hide potential high spam targets. The goal isn't to completely hide, just make it slightly harder to find

Obviously it's teslarulez69420!!!

And why not? You forget there is beauty in brevity.

A breach is a breach is a breach is a breach. You'd be criticizing his choice whether it was 5 simple characters or 500. When you K.I.S.S. it makes it easier to remember AND quicker to enter, access. I had to choose a password for work once, and I made it a little complex....work constantly logged me out 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄...I had to enter that stupid fucking password so many fucking times, yes, it was secure. It was also DUMB and FRUSTRATING. Next 3 passwords were far simpler to repeatedly type in; I learned my lesson.

Same with Apple always auto-generating stupid passwords, I hope you never have to type them in! It's just dumb, as illustrated by XKCD.

XKCD also has a suggestion for strong, memorable, easy passwords.

Be smart. Make life simple. Don't do stupid things. 🫡

To save everyone time, here's a draft set of productivity bullets for "turtle tester":

• Conducted thorough evaluations of turtle shell durability and structural integrity under various simulated environmental conditions.
• Monitored and recorded turtle behavior to assess mobility and adaptability in controlled habitats.
• Ensured all testing procedures adhered to ethical standards and guidelines for animal welfare.
• Collaborated with team members to analyze data and improve testing methodologies for accuracy and efficiency.
• Prepared detailed weekly reports summarizing findings and providing actionable recommendations for ongoing research.

It's important Elon Musk knows these things.

These are all on the same domain. I guarantee you they have extensive spam filters in place. "Flooding their inbox" will do nothing as the messages won't even go to their inbox.

H1B visa employees is a fancy way of saying slaves since they can be deported if they quit and don’t get a new job.

Imagine calling 9-1-1 and getting sent to an Indian call center to handle your call. This is a boring dystopia.

i wonder if its also true for biotech, i see a large number of listings asking for the same visas. i know indians also go into medical, and biotech too. but thier main source would be tech.

2/30 for an ethnic group that comprises 1% of the US population seemed a bit odd. Noticing a minor peculiarity and believing it to be negative are entirely different. What offered you the impression that I would view their ethnicity in a negative light?

Worked at the United States Digital Service (USDS) before it was renamed doge and had its priorities completely rewritten. Maybe half were laid off, and then 21 resigned in protest. So 45-ish people left from the agency's previous incarnation.

Last I read there were about 60 employees, all "temporary workers."

I imagine since this list is only partial, these are the first 36 (with Musk included).

I hear you. One of those 'you shouldn't have to pay for a service like this' moments.

In a moment of weakness, I signed up for Incogni. I was getting 3/4 phone calls a day that weren't leaving messages and it was getting overwhelming.

I will say, somewhat anecdotally because I'm too busy to crunch the numbers, but it doesn't seem like the spam email, phone calls and text messages I get have dropped dramatically. My wife too.

Honestly, I don't think they really understand why they're there.

They're in their twenties. Some of them are college students. I think at least one is a literal teenager.

Musk chose these children because they don't have the life experience to understand the consequences of their actions.

Cut billions of dollars in aid to the poorest people in the world? Without having any authority to do it? An average person would stop and think "how many people are going to die from this?" Or, more selfishly, "what consequences will I face in the future if I do something so fundamentally evil?" Or, more practically, "is what I'm doing legal, and will Trump and Musk throw me under the bus and claim I acted without orders if I get criminally charged for this?"

These kids aren't thinking about long-term consequences. They're thinking "the richest man in the world chose me to transform America and I have to live up to his expectations".

Blind loyalty. That's it.

It's why armies recruit men young.
