What information could DOGE glean from the data they stole and how would it benefit this administration?
  • Yeah there was a probably a nicer way to do what they are doing

    I understand the worry that this is coup

    but if you choose to believe

    Seeing as there is nothing I can do about it

    I empathize with the sentiment, but you're delusional.

  • What information could DOGE glean from the data they stole and how would it benefit this administration?
  • Don't get me wrong, it's terrible that they were granted access to very sensitive information (government contracts, employee data, probably tax returns last I heard) with no oversight. That's gone, no way back.

    But make no mistake, this is not a heist. It's a coup. They are seizing control of meta-infrastructures of the government: payroll, contracts, payments, communications, software. This is how you hold a country hostage.

  • What do you all think about Ted Lasso?
  • I watched the first season and a few episodes more, and I didn't like it. I kept waiting for the show to become worthy of its praise, but I really should have stopped sooner.

    The on-the-nose writing did not work for me at all, and I didn't find it funny where it was trying to be.

    The show uses a made-up soccer club as a backdrop, but it felt very arbitrary; it may as well have been set in any other sport or industry. Others may like this about the show, but it just felt careless to me.

  • DOGE Employees Ordered to Stop Using Slack While Agency Transitions to a Records System Not Subject to FOIA
  • From the article:

    This would make DOGE a Presidential Records Act entity, meaning records it creates are not FOIAble until years after a president leaves office rather than a Federal Records Act entity, which would make its records FOIAble now.

  • The EFF's Guide to Attending a Protest
  • Should really be prefaced by: Don't bring your phone. Write the phone number you plan to call if arrested on your lower arm in sharpie. If for some reason you have to bring your phone, read the following.

  • There Is No Going Back
  • Honestly, this authoritarian takeover of the US government is the biggest thing happening in most of our life times so far. Shocked that this is not dominating news all over the world. I'm not even American.

  • Ein Institut probt den Aufstand
  • Sie betreuen dann auf unbestimmte Zeit keine neuen Abschlussarbeiten von Studierenden mehr.

    Leider ist Streik im Wissenschaftsbetrieb wirklich schwer umzusetzen ohne dabei sich selbst oder Studierende am härtesten zu treffen.

  • ‘Things Are Going to Get Intense:’ How a Musk Ally Plans to Push AI on the Government
  • “I think we were on the topic of login aggregating data. It's an illegal task,” the employee question, which was read aloud by a woman facilitating the meeting, said. “The Privacy Act forbids agencies sharing personal information without consent.”

    “The idea would be that folks would give consent to help with the login flow,” Shedd said. “But again, that's an example of something that we have a vision, that needs worked on, and needs clarified. And if we hit a roadblock, then we hit a roadblock. But we still should push forward and see what we can do.”

    Throughout the entire meeting, Shedd painted a vision of the federal government where a small group of coders under his leadership would revolutionize the way government works. He said, for example, that he would need help creating “AI coding agents” that would write software across the entire federal government. He proposed creating a centralized database of contracts that could be “analyzed.”

    So many red flags
