"The mature and responsible thing to do would have been to add a content security policy to the page", he wrote. "I am not mature so instead what I decided to do was render the early 2000s internet shock image Goatse with a nice message superimposed over it in place of the app if Sqword detects that it is in an iFrame."

I submit the Internet axiom of: there's times and places for a measured and reasonable response, and the other times are funny af.

Let this be a lesson to you—if you are using an iFrame to display a site that isn't yours, even for legitimate purposes, you have no control over that content—it can change at any time. One day instead of looking into an iFrame, you might be looking at an entirely different kind of portal.

Bravo.

Risky click of the day.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

You are now stinking with portals

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 135 points 1 year ago

Also, the iFrame is particularly asshole'ish in that the original author's site is still out the bandwidth for content, but somebody else is making money off it.

I fully support his response. Personally, I'd love to see the same done to certain scraper-bots

hey pcgamer, thanks for not using goatse in the preview. fucking 404media, not even a CW.

[–] stopthatgirl7@kbin.social 61 points 1 year ago (3 children)

That’s why I didn’t use the 404 one. That article was a bit much with the goatse, even blurred.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 37 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh please, it’s just a goatse.

It’s not like they went with tubgirl, 2 girls 1 Cup, or arse glass smasher guy.

And let's not forget lemonparty

[–] Llewellyn@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I have never heard about the lemonparty. Does it worth it?

[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Don't forgot blue waffle for that list

I started reading the version posted, saw the original was on 404, clicked on that and shared the link with my wife, and as soon as I saw the link preview I IMMEDIATELY deleted it and said No! Don't read that one! It's not redacted enough!"

So in this case I absolutely agree, the PC Gamer version was the better one to share.

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

thanks to you too

[–] Eudaimonia@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Oh and I thought of sharing the 404 link here for anyone interested..like me, but I was a bit disappointed, that it was only half the picture^^

a tale as old as the iframe

Sometimes the best choice of weapon is a rapier.

Sometimes it's a folding chair.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Sometimes what can be done with bare hands is far more horrifying.

Finally some feel good news for a change

Trivalwar did something similar 20 years ago (no imagery in the link, just the story).

[–] Orionza@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This was hilarious. "I am not mature..." 😆

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is the way.
