KraidenWhat is the BASH reference manual doing in the Epstein files?
over_cloxAre you using the Jerboa for Lemmy app?
I recently encountered a similar issue…
Jerboa 0.0.84 seems to blindly try to force-open this webpage as a PDF document, when it needs to actually open it up as a webpage for the age verification HTML script. - Lemmy.World
https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet 9/EFTA01249734.pdf [https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA01249734.pdf] This link drove me nuts last night, until I stopped tapping the link in Jerboa and instead copy/pasted the link directly into Fennec web browser. If this bug has been resolved in a newer version of Jerboa, well just let me know and I’ll make a point to update later.
Nah, I’ve got no issue accessing the pdf. I’m using the piefed web frontend on desktop.
It seems like the issue is that link shouldn’t be parsed as a pdf file, but rather as an html document, so that it can do age verification, after that, it should redirect you to the PDF.
You might be able to open it on mobile by copy pasting the link to your mobile browser, so you can get past the age verification
My hypothesis:
- Someone in Epstein’s circle had to be the IT guy.
- That IT guy wanted to have the Bash documentation locally (which is sensible, I do too).
- A discovery subpoena might request “all documents referencing (something)”, which boils down to an extremely loose string search, and the documents’ relevance to the case are determined later.
- The Bash documentation was caught by the algorithm because it contained some word they were searching for.
For all we know, the lawyers might’ve been looking for the word “child” and the algorithm found “child processes”.
