As part of the devs farewell message on their site, they have included malicious code to make each visitor sends 2,000 requests to the dbzer0 servers in an attempt to DDOS and take the instance offline.

It'd be hilarious if this dude went to prison over this, because it seems like he finally crossed from "annoying and unethical but legal" to straight up illegal.

Enforcement is for inconvenienced rich tech companies.

I view that as circle-jerky propaganda.

[-] chortle_tortle@mander.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

What's the over under on that happening then?

[-] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

The odds are far from great, but saying it never happens is disinformation.

It'd be hilarious if he turned out to be Felon Mu$k, the manchild mentality is very similar.

Too bad that dumbfuck can't actually write code.

I will never not find that to be the funniest controversy from Musk. Imagine being such a loser you need to pretend you were among the best, when it's obvious you haven't even played. Imagine feeling the need for that over a video game, instead of the fact that you're already the richest man in the world.

Elon Musk might not be the best gamer, but he does take the top spot for being The Most Pathetic Man In The World.

He for whatever reason believes that he is a part of the geek/nerd crowd and constantly seeks validation/praise from them. Probably one of the reasons why he surrounded himself with teenagers in DOGE, he wanted to be idolized by a bunch of tech bro wanna bes.

Man it's been such a firehose of shit, I forgot that DOGE was mostly teenagers. It feels like those events were a decade ago, even though it was only ~~last~~ two years ago.

Edit: Had to update the time, god I'm tired.
