I keep hearing comments like “I plan to ignore it for the next four years”. This Billionaire Bill shuts down democracy. Look away at your peril.

“Don’t write your own cryptography code” does _not_ mean “Let an LLM write your cryptography code”.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read.

He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords

Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

@kurio it's heartbreaking that people who run human-centric infra such as personal and federated servers, which is hard enough as it is, have to make an additional inhuman effort to fight off an army of corporate cloud-scale bullshit-generating lawnmowers

Wrote up some notes on Cloudflare's fascinating new SQLite-backed "Durable Objects" system, which encourages an architectural style where your application creates thousands of tiny read-write SQLite databases scattered across Cloudflare's network https://simonwillison.net/2024/Oct/13/zero-latency-sqlite-storage-in-every-durable-object/

Zero-latency SQLite storage in every Durable Object

Kenton Varda introduces the next iteration of Cloudflare's [Durable Object](https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/) platform, which recently upgraded from a key/value store to a full relational system based on SQLite. This is a fascinating …

One of the pups got kennel cough, which turned into bronchitis, which turned into pneumonia. :/ Poor girl has been hacking/coughing like crazy and we've had to keep our two pups separated because of it. No park time for either of them, to reduce risk of spreading to the other pups in our community. We'll see what xrays look like on Monday, hopefully some improvement!

An image of white text against a black background. It is one image, but alt text is broken into three posts due to character limits. It says:

To those of you who don't know what's buried in this Big Bogus Bill... Prepare yourself for what's coming.

If the Senate passes the "One Big Beautiful Bill" and Trump signs it, that's it.
It becomes law. And here's what that really means:
• He can delay or cancel elections-legally.

2/

• He can ignore Supreme Court rulings for a year or more.
• He can fire government workers for political disloyalty.
• Judges can't enforce their own orders.
• Protests can be tracked and criminalized.
• LGBTQ+ rights, education, health care, and media?
Gutted.
• Your VPN? Tracked. Your vote? Suppressed. Your speech? Flagged.

This bill doesn't break the law. It rewrites the law so Trump never has to break it again.

3/

We don't need to wonder what would happen if authoritarianism came to America.
It's here-in 1,100 pages, dressed up as "freedom."

If you've ever said, "It won't be that bad" or "The courts will stop him,"
just know: this bill makes it so they can't.

Share this. Speak up. Show up. Now.

Because if this passes, the next vote might be the last one that matters.

@heatherthomasaf.bsky.social above anything else I am a proud American, I love my constitution and my freedoms. This bill spits right in the god damn face of em. Fight it.

@heatherthomasaf.bsky.social Too be bluntly honest, as a senior citizen who was assigned female at birth, my only plans are to "hang with Elisa Shupe" using the methods described in the popular motion picture "Nomadland" by Swankie Wheels portraying a fictionalized version of herself.

I have no intention whatsoever of shutting the fuck up about my feelings or lived experiences or asking younger community members how I can help either.

Thank you for having the courage to say the truth.

@heatherthomasaf.bsky.social Bill or no bill, the US is fucked. It’s fucked not just because of one dumb person in office, but because of the US people and culture, who will keep reproducing this kind of person, and voting them into office. The problem runs deep in the core of what the US is. It shouldn’t have surprised anyone, but it did.

@luhmann @heatherthomasaf.bsky.social

Yep. Trump is a symptom but not the disease.

And it's why a civil war/secession seems inevitable unless a sizable portion of the GOP side decides democracy is actually better for them. I'm not hopeful

@heatherthomasaf.bsky.social I would love to have the source and actual text for this to pass on. Do you have it?

@heatherthomasaf.bsky.social where in the bill is the part about elections?

Haven't found the full text but found this
https://mastodon.social/@DoNotPunchDown/114565874022889254

@DoNotPunchDown @heatherthomasaf.bsky.social I also found that article. The full text is also available, but I'm sure it's a lot to parse.

Yeah, I'm old and not going to read through 1,000 pages on how they're going to kill us. But I'll read some.

In my younger days, i read everything, including the entire ACA. LoL. Getting old sucks.

@heatherthomasaf.bsky.social I keep hearing people say "They're going to get trashed in the midterms." Dear delusional person, there aren't going to be midterms - much less another presidential election.

@Minentromax @heatherthomasaf.bsky.social

And even if there are, the Democrats will lose. They are useless. Absolutely fucking useless

@DoNotPunchDown @heatherthomasaf.bsky.social I like AOC and Bernie. The party as a whole I go do without. They are as you say, fucking useless. Worse than useless - actively hindering.

DoNotPunchDown 6d ago

@Minentromax @heatherthomasaf.bsky.social

Agree completely. Useless is actually generous. They are complicit

DoNotPunchDown 6d ago

@heatherthomasaf.bsky.social

Does it seriously allow him to cancel elections? I'm trying to find a link to that but haven't been able to.

This is some seriously fucked up shit.

Call your senators

David Scott Moyer 6d ago

@DoNotPunchDown @heatherthomasaf.bsky.social I think this post is bullshit. I've seen people who have actually read the bill rip it apart, and they haven't brought up a single one of these things.

@farbel @heatherthomasaf.bsky.social

I've been trying to find anything that verifies this post. Some of it is accurate and some is exaggeration. I just posted this.

This bill must fail
