garrett@infosec.pubto NFL@lemmy.world•NFL owners approve Tom Brady's bid to become limited partner of Las Vegas Raiders3·9 months agoThis is such a brazen conflict of interest that I’m not sure how they keep it clean short of refusing to have him call Raiders games.
garrett@infosec.pubto NFL@lemmy.world•[Rapoport] The #Raiders are completing a trade of star WR Davante Adams to the #Jets, sources say. Back with his good friend, Aaron Rodgers. As Las Vegas moves on.1·9 months agoAfter sending off Derek Carr to watch him succeed under better leadership as well, only protecting Maxx Crosby from trade talks. But maybe you’re right and their true WR1… Jakobi Meyers will fill the void Davante left.
garrett@infosec.pubto NFL@lemmy.world•[Rapoport] The #Raiders are completing a trade of star WR Davante Adams to the #Jets, sources say. Back with his good friend, Aaron Rodgers. As Las Vegas moves on.4·9 months agoInteresting to watch the Raiders project stripped for parts but I think we knew that was coming once Derek Carr was tossed. They have a lot to figure out and it’s not the players.
garrett@infosec.pubto NFL@lemmy.world•Coach: Watson still gives Browns best shot to win4·9 months agoThe signing of him (especially the $1 first-year contract) is a pox upon the house of Browns. They knew what they were doing and did it. Now, we get to watch him refuse to play and they have to learn that his character failings extend to the field.
garrett@infosec.pubto NFL@lemmy.world•Coach: Watson still gives Browns best shot to win6·9 months agoIf I get to watch DeShaun Watson continue to get pummeled and fail, that’s a great day for me.
garrett@infosec.pubto Technology@beehaw.org•Automattic demanded web host pay $32M annually for using WordPress trademarkEnglish7·9 months agoSuch a strange feud. Aren’t there a bunch of WordPress hosts that are given usage of the software name? It sounds like there’s just something specifically about WPengine’s deployments that are changing the formula, creating a sticking point.
garrett@infosec.pubto NFL@lemmy.world•Cousins lets it fly, leads Falcons in career night2·9 months agoIt’s cool to see him having a good performance after that injury. Not a Falcons fan but you can’t hate ‘em.
garrett@infosec.pubto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Tool for Spotify recommendations based on your self-hosted music libraryEnglish11·9 months agoThe only thing Spotify has going for it is the way it’s broken down music to the atomic level and given recommendations. Cool to crib some notes there even if I think it can be a bit overbearing when Spotify does it.
garrett@infosec.pubto politics @lemmy.world•Trump’s Consistent Message Online and Onstage: Be AfraidEnglish2·9 months agoI agree with this. You can make a competent, easily digestible message that public safety, better quality of life, etc. comes from investing in common public services. Crime goes down when there’s better public health and education.
garrett@infosec.pubto politics @lemmy.world•Trump’s Consistent Message Online and Onstage: Be AfraidEnglish1·9 months agoAnd they certainly don’t understand that safety has emerged from better public services but so it goes.
garrett@infosec.pubto Technology@beehaw.org•Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossibleEnglish1·9 months agoI appreciate anyone working on an actual community but doing the service of not just giving free content but free curation to a corporation seems unreal. Plus, I’m a grown adult. I don’t have the time to do all that much lol
garrett@infosec.pubto politics @lemmy.world•Trump’s Consistent Message Online and Onstage: Be AfraidEnglish26·10 months agoHonestly, the US is largely safer than it’s ever been. Not sure why this is a constant drumbeat but folks will buy it up, I suppose.
garrett@infosec.pubto Cast Iron@lemmy.world•First time making a blackberry cobblerEnglish1·10 months agoOh god. This sounds great.
garrett@infosec.pubto Technology@beehaw.org•Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossibleEnglish11·10 months agoI truly don’t understand how anyone does the free work for a corporation to moderate a subreddit. Steps like this seem to treat them like employees and they’ll largely just chug along with it for… what? Notoriety?
garrett@infosec.pubto College Football@fanaticus.social•Hoops powerhouse Gonzaga to join Pac-12 in '26English3·10 months agoOkay, we don’t need to be too harsh on the PAC-12 but it’s probably a financial decision.
garrett@infosec.pubto Technology@beehaw.org•U.S. Announces New Rules Banning Fake Reviews and Testimonials, Allowing Authorities to Seek Civil Penalties Against Violators, Deter AI-Generated Fake ReviewsEnglish5·11 months agoWill this stand up to the death of Chevron deference? Or are we 3 weeks away from a judge throwing the rule out unless congress passes a specific law.
I think this is squarely in the charter of the FTC but who knows with the courts any longer. We just saw them strike down a ruling by the EPA to enact health measures under the requirements of the Civil Rights Act.
garrett@infosec.pubto Pulse of Truth@infosec.pub•Parody site ClownStrike refused to bow to CrowdStrike’s bogus DMCA takedownEnglish3·11 months agoI still want the “Turn off your computer before midnight” sticker someone made but, alas, CrowdStrike DMCA’d the Etsy account.
garrett@infosec.pubto Technology@beehaw.org•Too big to care? Cloudflare comes again under pressure for enabling abusive sites, anti-spam NGO saysEnglish1·1 year agoThere’s a balance to be struck here but Cloudflare is truly the most miserable entity I have to work with from an abuse perspective. They’re not necessarily “ignoring” warrants but most phishing doesn’t get reported with a legal takedown request. In those cases, Cloudflare will be almost intentionally obtuse. I’m happy to outline the misery of a host working with Cloudflare but it’s not necessarily important to this. TLDR; Cloudflare takes steps that don’t make sense for its “we’re not responsible” stance while also having zero automation in the year of our lord 2024.
I suppose everything could be a legal request but that just makes the whole process so infinitely worse for NGOs like Spamhaus and only serves to make lawyers excited that their consultation fees are going up. I see that the laziest pathway is “Youtube-like strikes” which is misery as well but they could just shift to investigating accounts receiving a high volume of reports as potential fraud or abuse actors since it is a drag on their services and these accounts are not paying or are paying with stolen credit cards.
Ultimately, I don’t disagree with you that much but there’s a lot of room for CF to improve their management of fraud & abuse without becoming a trash platform or invalidating legal protections. Happy to get into the weeds on this a bit more since it’s a lil’ bit close to home. 😅
garrett@infosec.pubto NFL@lemmy.world•Judge overturns $4.7 billion jury award to NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers2·1 year agoOh, it will. And the wheels turn.
Exciting! Looking forward to this trickling down to regular App Store installs.
