If Harris made such a serious departure from reality as to claim that you’re allowed to murder live children it would be front page news for 6 months and be talked about for decades.

He had knowledge and connections to the upper echelons and he couldn't make it, and when health concerns arose he went back to his money because it sucks to be working poor and in need of medical assistance.

A bit clickbaity..

configured it to be fully exposed with no firewall and no anti-virus software

And I'm also assuming this was then exposed directly to the internet like a server, not behind a NAT or anything like that.

I mean you're setting up a 20 yo unpatched consumer lever OS to fail for the giggles and you kneecap it on top of it - which is fine, but hardly surprising.

The whole thing stinks as schoolboy level revenge fantasy. I doubt there's truth to it.

Prop money has specific laws and guidelines and is very easily identifiable and therefore do not count as counterfeit.

If a $5 bill does find its way in the economy no one gets arrested probably, someone just made a stupid trade. Otherwise half the store owners would be in jail when attempting to deposit money that happens to contain a fake note here and there.

I hope this is clever marketing from the developer because I had never heard of this game until now and also because I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would abuse an indie developer for $2.

I understand some people might do that, but they'd have to be a tiny percentage.

This is their classic pincer maneuver employed by the establishment - and it works really well: the left wing candidate is both too left and not left enough.

You see it in every election.

It works so well because they own mainstream media so they can run all narratives at the same time as opinion pieces to hamstrung the left. That's how the ratchet works also.

This is like inviting the Catholic church in an institution specifically built to protect former victims of same and similar institutions.

Given that anyone can start an instance and federate with Threads, or join an instance that does, freedom of choice is unaffected.

"we hired": there's going to be the findings they tell management, the report with the findings management allows them to add, and the findings that management tells us about.

This means nothing until you hear independently from the employees themselves about substantive changes.

Given that Firefox is now faster than Chrome I see no reason to remain.
