Like is it not painfully obvious that this kind of technology can be and is going to be used for a lot more than epic pwning people speaking Somali

There's always some fucker who will do these kind of things. Either for money or to impress someone with money.

Well you know what they say, never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake.

You're right dipshit tech bro overwhelming them with false reports is a great idea..

Wonder how many aren't even other languages. My work includes doing searches for terms that are simply code snippets, and my browser often asks if I want to translate from portuguese

[–] petersr@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Well, too bad, you are getting deported or killed.

Libertarians are just MAGAt republicans who haven't come out of the political closet yet.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

Depends on how old they are. Almost every male I know went through a brief Libertarian phase somewhere between the ages of 13 to 22, that tended to last weeks to a couple years. Its an issue when they don't grow out of it and they are older than 22 and it lasts longer than a couple years.

Libertarianism sounds good from an elevator pitch. Usually it starts, ends or is fully comprised of arguments about ending the war on drugs or not paying taxes. I mean who likes taxes? It's only when you get around to actually thinking about it that it falls apart when you realize that things like roads, emergency medical care and whatnot are a necessity.

Are you sure this isn't satire? I know there are no satire marks so Poe's Law and all, but it seems too on the nose to be real

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I never met or heard of a techbro that wasn't a piece of shit so I don't know why you'd assume otherwise.

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

What about all the FOSS developers? They can't be entirely evil, since they at least stand for freedom - and are often also progressive and good people, I'd say.

[–] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Have you watched Sillicon Valley? Brogrammers = tech bros.

Me, I'm just exhausted.

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip -1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well if they are such good people I don't know why you'd call them Tech Bros.

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Maybe I don't understand what that is supposed to mean. They are in tech, and some of them are men and probably brothers, or at least metaphorically bros. Is it supposed to be a bad thing? - oh, and if it is a bad thing by definition, then it's not an interesting thing that you've never met a "techbro who isn't a piece of shit" as the definition would already filter out the good people from being considered by you

[–] benderbeerman@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Wait, we can just call them and tell them to go places? And we're not already doing this to, you know, make sure they're in the... right places???

[–] CPMSP@midwest.social 1 points 4 days ago

How about Texas or Florida?

Or hell? Oh wait, I said that already.

I'm an american who lives in colombia so I can't fuck with these devices like I would if i were there so instead here are some helpful colombia phrases to fuck with these fascist fucks. Use these as an american to lure ice away if they deploy this.

parcero/parcera/parce = Dude
Que mas! = Whats up!
Bien o que? = How you doing?
Pasa me una pola = Hand me a beer.
La migra me emberraca porque son malparidos. = ICE makes me furious because they're bastards.

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

It's illegal to speak non American. Orders are shoot first and say sorry next when you prove you're American. Oh, you're dead now? Well best I can do is check out what turned you into a terrorist.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 17 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Need to get more fourienge language on the radio then

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Isolate ICE into smaller, easier to tackle teams, and take 'em out at random so they don't know which ones to be wary of. This putz may have just inadvertently helped the resistance.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Or even just lead them on a wild goose chase

[–] ferrule@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

The ICE officers should know you never bring a gun to a wild goose chase. The are really just asking to be ☠️. People shoot at geese.

Ya I know but I didn't care when I didn't get a spell check error(probably because it was so far off) and I'm not wasting time googling it for a quik comment

Libertarians were always fascists. For some reason a lot of people were just stupid enough to ignore it for a long time.

[–] slate@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This isn't free code, though? This is spamming false reports lmao

French teacher and 20 kids are going to shit their pants today. I hope that nobody gets shot.

[–] lennee@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

99 percent chance this is fake

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

on two fronts as well. 1) demonstration of fascist competence. 2) demonstration of ai competence.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

Libertarians don't believe in liberty or freedom. They merely co opt the usage of those words so no one suspects that they're secretly fascists

[–] sleet01@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

They do their rug pull yet?
