Not much. In my experience, they will only take action if it’s obvious. I’ve reported a project three times that is serving malware, but they won’t take it down because it’s using a custom .npmrc and the deps hosted there have the malware. It’s easy to see after npm installing, but they don’t seem to want to do that much investigating.

Freeze those knees my chickadees.

I’d love to see a post about ways to simplify the Fediverse or make it more accessible to people. I don’t want to see whatever this was.

I’ve been here for a couple of years now and have never gotten anything like that. I even occasionally ban people (which I can’t imagine they are too happy about). 🤷‍♂️

Worthwhile, but wrong community.

I get this ever time I switch jobs. Like “did I just forget a core skill I’ve spent my life so far mastering? I think I did. Or worse, I’ve been doing easy mode and now it’s gonna get too hard and I can’t do it”

But I always do fine 🤷‍♂️

Well yes, those are the rules. But if I see someone ripping out invasives themselves…

I didn’t see it.

I’m from the states and I took this as “national park” (or perhaps state) land. It’s land intended for ecological conservation.

I think the general idea is that you shouldn’t mess with conservation land. The general public isn’t educated enough to know what is invasive and what isn’t, so the rules say don’t disturb stuff. But if someone who was educated was in the park removing invasive species, they are almost certainly “breaking the rules”, but doing a net positive thing.

So if you see it…you didn’t.

“I didn’t see anything”

I should call her.

The most alarming evolution in this variant is its aggressive volatility. While the primary goal remains credential theft, the malware includes a destructive fail-safe that triggers if it cannot establish persistence or exfiltrate data.

Certainly as escalation compared to what you normally see in NPM attacks.

What is farming if not gardening at scale?

Ignore my correction, I was misinformed

The most basic prompt I could write for this:

Panel 1:

Janeway riding a bike labeled “Voyager crew in the Delta Quadrant.”

Caption: “We’re stranded 70,000 light years from home, let’s be smart and careful.”

Panel 2:

Janeway happily jamming a stick into her own bike wheel.

Caption: “Break the Prime Directive, ally with dangerous aliens, get half the crew killed every other week.”

Panel 3:

Janeway lying on the ground, holding her leg, blaming others.

Caption: “The Delta Quadrant is so hostile! Why is it so hard to get home?!”
