TeleMessage, the Israeli company that makes the modified Signal app used by Trump officials, was hacked. “I would say the whole process took about 15-20 minutes,” the hacker said micahflee.com/the-signal-c...

I keep telling you, @greatdismal.bsky.social tried to warn us about the particular variety of Guy™ Pete Hegseth is the kind of culture he surrounds himself with:

bomstable.bsky.social•6 days ago

Weren't guys like that referred to as the"Mitty Demographic "? That always stuck with me.

johnrt.bsky.social•6 days ago

That’s a great name for ‘em

Too bad y'all motherfuckers fired most of the people who could have told you not too fucking do this

Yeah that's exactly the right way to put it: Hegseth is the kind of Guy™ who *desperately wants to be* those self-bullshitting Guys™.

Well hot damn. TeleMessage suspended their service in light of the hack. A lesson to everyone not to spin up and deploy supposedly "secure" solutions half-assed

I feel like the Gibson character that comes to mind when I look at the people around Trump is Armitage, from Neuromancer, except they all hollowed their own minds out themselves.

Get their asses.

One of the reasons WHY they were fired in the first place was because it was their job to tell Trump and his lackeys to not do this specific shit in the first place.

Alma got sick again because of malnutrition and lack of healthy food. I don't want to live here. Help me get out of Gaza for the sake of my three children only.

Oh, ha, this is also basically every techbro

wolvendamien.bsky.social•6 days ago

Exactly.

Do we think that’s a reality?

I mean, some Army men I’ve met flirt with the idea in mind that we’re all trying to marry them, lie like we all already believe, and then get mad at what they’ve imagined. That much tracks.

I just can’t imagine that’s helpful instead of harmful in combat contexts. 😖

wolvendamien.bsky.social•6 days ago

I know people exactly like these and who desperately want people to Think they're like this, so unfortunately yeah, it's a reality

kittywashere.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yes, the attitude is real, but what I’m questioning is that people are intentionally indoctrinated into it as a form of “tactical gear.”

wolvendamien.bsky.social•6 days ago

1) it doesn't have to be intentional for it to *happen.*
2) Yes, at some level it is intentional.

kittywashere.bsky.social•6 days ago

Also, in total fairness, I’ve also met lawyers, doctors, and other (upper) middle class folks who are exactly the same way. 🤷🏻‍♀️

jlgittinger.bsky.social•6 days ago

You are not alone in your fury and screaming this question. :(

nanaslugdiva.bsky.social•7 days ago

Period

vancemaverick.bsky.social•7 days ago

In a sense the reason is *precisely because* it infuriates us
