This is the only place I can post this where someone might actually get it.
@treed They won't understand you in this place if you rip-off someone else's joke and remove the Alt-text from the image.
@BinChicken Sorry, that's just how it came to me. Who originated it? I would definitely prefer to link to the original source and give credit where due!
@treed Are you asking me to Google it for you?
@BinChicken Google image search turns this up as the first (and only) relevant result in which @dangillmor is also seeking the original source. Hey Dan, did you ever find the result? I'm here trying to do the right thing and @BinChicken is being a concern-trolling dickhead and keeping secrets.
@treed You're making it difficult to find a good-faith interpretation of your reply by referring to me as a "concern-trolling dickhead".
On the other hand, from the way you're talking, it sounds like you _do_ need help on how to use Google:
- It's in the image search results if you have the patience to look beyond the first link.
- Another way to find a link to the source is to search for text from the image and put the search term inside quotes.
@BinChicken Wait, you aren't saying that I should be crediting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_and_Bob are you? Because I'm pretty sure we all know that's what it's parodying. I mean, you won't get the joke if you don't know that *that's* the source of the parody! :D
Alice and Bob - Wikipedia

@treed Please stop. You don't need to explain how humour works.

@treed

But do *you* get that this is not applicable?

Because Goldberg *did not intercept* the communication, he was actually one of the participants, having been invited to the chat.

It was not a cryptographic issue.

@treed He 'intercepted' the communication? I thought he just accepted the kind invitation to participate. Clearly this someone is too pedantic to actually get it 😁

@writingslowly @treed maybe that should be:

Example scenario of the classic "invitation attack" where communication between Hegseth and Walz is inadvertently intercepted by Goldberg

@treed
I think this will definitely replace Alice and Bob! 😁
@treed Goldberg joining the cast himself I see :)

@treed
**Roaring Laughter**

I'm glad I want shipping coffee for that one or there be mopping to do.

@treed Plz add alt text so we can boost!
@wcbdata What should the alt text say?
@treed
Maybe something like:
An altered version of https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_und_Bob where the names of the communication participants are replaced by "Hegseth" and "Waltz" and the name of the intercepting party changed to "Goldberg".
@treed I just talked to Alice and Bob and they approve of it!

@treed this is insta-classical lore.

It is known.
