SeaJ, Earlier this year, SiegedSec claimed to have hacked the River Valley Church of Burnsville, Minnesota — and to have spent $6,200 in church funds to purchase 100 inflatable sea lions — after its lead pastor, Rob Ketterling, allegedly made transphobic remarks. In the past, Ketterling said the legalization of gay marriage would lead to the legalization of pedophilia, polygamy, and bestiality.
That’s pretty awesome.
Maeve, As if illegality ever stopped anyone, including conservatives, from engaging in things they decry.
capt_wolf, (edited ) I’m still waiting for the cat girls…
Edit: For whoever is downvoting me, this is literally the same group that hacked a nuclear research lab last year. Their demand was that they begin serious research into the creation of real life catgirls.
BeMoreCareful, AND THE RESEARCH?!
That sounds like an interesting line of study, do you have and further insight on progress?
UnfortunateShort, I mean, fair enough
Son_of_dad, Lemmy has gotten a lot less civil recently, people just downvoting for no reason and calling each other shit they wouldn’t dare say to a living person in front of them
otp, I mean, downvotes are supposed to be for irrelevant comments. Anyone who missed the reference would easily assume it to be irrelevant.
Jax, I think it’s amusing how there are several people ITT that think the way people use upvotes and downvotes changed all because some amorphous entity tied to Lemmy said so.
They are absolutely “I agree with this” and “I disagree with this” buttons, Hexbear should have definitively proven that to all of you.
otp, Just because people stick cotton swabs in their ears doesn’t mean that they’re supposed to be used for that.
Jax, Oh, I see, so you must pronounce GIFs as ‘JIFs’ then?
otp, You really shouldn’t stick cotton swabs inside your ear holes. They’re not even that great at cleaning them out.
Jax, Imagine pronouncing gif as jif
otp, It’s literally gift without the t though
Jax, You’re right, and people use q-tips to clean their ears.
What the creator intends does not matter, at all.
otp, But being fit for use does matter though.
Cotton swabs pick up portions of ear wax, so it might make you feel happy, but they often push wax deeper which can lead to impacting.
Upvote/downvote based solely on agree/disagree may make you feel good for getting a little colour to match your opinion, but it doesn’t result in good conversation or better content on Lemmy.
KillingTimeItself, the irony of this comment being downvoted is not lost.
Or maybe it is, idk if i can find it.
Deceptichum, Are you new to the internet?
Albbi, I wouldnt call a few downvotes ‘less civil’. Without the edit, the parent comment looked like a weird non sequitur. With the comment there was more context and now it has a lot of upvotes.
capt_wolf, Totally why I clarified. I realized people probably had no idea what I was talking about. I figured more people would get the reference, but was obviously wrong. Not anyone’s fault there but mine!
Couldn’t not share it with people though. Such a crazy piece of news…
echodot, people just downvoting for no reason
Not what they’re for. The downvote is not a “I disagree with this comment” button, It is a measure of how relevant to the discussion a comment is.
In this case your comment about how everyone is bad and evil and everything is actually not at all relevant to anything in this discussion
Jax, I think it’s amusing how there are several people ITT that think the way people use upvotes and downvotes changed all because some amorphous entity tied to Lemmy said so.
They are absolutely “I agree with this” and “I disagree with this” buttons, Hexbear should have definitively proven that to all of you.
FlyingSquid, I didn’t downvote you, but the context is appreciated because I didn’t know why you said that.
capt_wolf, My bad! I’m honestly surprised they didn’t mention it in the article! It’s journalistic gold!

dan, They deleted all the files in Real America’s Voice’s S3 bucket, but it seems like it’d be more mischievous to upload larger and larger files to it over time to make them wonder why their bills are skyrocketing. That and randomly change the permissions of a few files per day, delete data from the middle of files, etc.
Of course, I would never do such a thing.
Prethoryn, There would probably be more illegal actions taken into account if caught if they cost the person/church/organization/company more money by doing so.
While fun I am sure there are better ways to do something without costing people/organizations money. I think this is important to consider when we compare deeds and acts we deem as better for everyone and compare it to things we deem as not okay for everyone because we tend to get wrapped up in the idea that our opinions justify what is right when what it boils or would boil down to is this.
Ousting a right wing ass hole and costing him and the church more money = illegal
Ousting someone through extortion or costing them more money through scams = illegal
While we could morally argue one is far better than the other the way this could be portrayed especially by someone in Florida a specific politician called DeSantis: “Those gay rights activists are basically scammers and extortionists.”
While on the surface their moral obligations are clearly different and I applaud them. Hacking without consent or authorization is technically illegal regardless and can be charged but they are less likely to look like the bad guys by not costing, someone or some thing, absurd amounts of money that they would end up paying back like wise there is less fire power against them.
Either way good on them.
ekZepp, Still beats me how they manage to use the keyboard with those big fluffy paws…
eupraxia, bark-to-text, of course!
mrgreyeyes, They lay on your lap whilst they dictate their mischievous code.
Prethoryn, touches your bulge - “is that keyboard for me” #>~<#
Sigh, I will see myself out as I cringed myself out with that one and it was funnier to me than it probably is.
EmpathicVagrant, I’m not gonna lie the second part made it so much funnier to me
BlackPenguins, We need more grey hat hackers in this world.
melpomenesclevage, well. not hats exactly.
and nah. this is definitionally black hat. only heroes we get in this genre.
RGB3x3, We need more gay hat hackers in this world.
FTFY
Kedly, It was SO CLOSE I dont know how they missed it xD
Suavevillain, Based Furries. Fuck Transphobes.
egeres, In the same fashion that elves were like the best blacksmiths in middle earth, I love how furries specifically tend to be very high in the “computer power” scale
PoolloverNathan, As you take the limit of computer power to infinity, the overlap approaches a circle.

lemmytellyousomething, brand new sentences…
melpomenesclevage, okay so sometimes living in a half passed shadow run 6e campaign run by severely concussed Kurt Vonnegut as he dies of dysentery is pretty fun.
even in that condition; man can still write. apparently.
Bread, Surprisingly this is not the first time I have seen a sentence like this.
Klear, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this one before, actually.
AI_toothbrush, You know what, good for them. I dont care. Fuck *phobes
AlDente, (edited )
dual_sport_dork, What are you, some kind of rhinophobe?
hemko, Not nice, I’m suffering from acrophobia
Neon, Fuck you too.
Sincerely, a Arachnophobe
FlyingSquid, Unlike the other two people, I suffer from a phobia of not being fucked, so I appreciate it.
melpomenesclevage, oh. wow. fuck you, then, I guess.
FlyingSquid, Why thank you!
melpomenesclevage, I’m not big on being thanked, fuck you.
gedaliyah, Alright, which one of you did this?
bl_r, (edited ) Yoooo isn’t this the group that hacked the government a nuclear lab and NATO in the past?
Mad respect for their praxis on this one, ngl
Milk_Sheikh, I will never get tired of seeing headlines that start with “Gay furry hackers” because if the Venn diagram is that intersectional, it’s schaudenfreude story time with spicy drops! 🍿
KillingTimeItself, “claim to have stolen 6200 dollars and spent it on 100 inflatable sea lions”
Honestly, i’m not even sure this is a crime. Can you imagine being a juror in court for this shit?
shasta, It doesn’t have to be a crime to piss off the congregation that donated that money
BuckWylde, Jesus needed those sea lions. The congregation should be happy.
KillingTimeItself, they’re for the new ark
KillingTimeItself, no but it’s still funny as fuck and i dont think i would even be upset if i donated the money myself.
randon31415, Earlier this year, SiegedSec claimed to have hacked the River Valley Church of Burnsville, Minnesota — and to have spent $6,200 in church funds to purchase 100 inflatable sea lions
I would have forced them to spend $100 on as many shelters and food kitchens that they could find, and then see if River Valley would try to do a charge back on each one.
Timecircleline, Clever
AbidanYre, [last lines] TV Anchorman: In a surprise announcement, the Republican National Committee has revealed it is bankrupt. A spokesman for the party said they had plenty of money in their accounts last week, but today they just don’t know where the money has gone. But not everybody is going begging. Amnesty International, Greenpeace and the United Negro College Fund announced record earnings this week, due mostly to large, anonymous donations.
