[Insert Rich Tech bro] is actually a nazi? I’m shocked. Shocked. Absolutely dumbfounded. /s
It would be more newsworthy to find any tech plutocrat that doesn’t have a far-right view of the world. But I would expect them to find a flying unicorn first.
Maybe the dumb fucks finally understood that employees that care enough about their job enough to go through the hassle of forming a union are employees that are not “silently quiting”. Probably not, but it would be a win-win situation for everyone if they understood that no one is on the side of long term success of a company more than its employees.
I read it more as not who was affected but what was affected. So something like “thanks Zeus we only lost people’s home addresses and passwords so the worst that can happen is someone getting murdered, it could have been credit card numbers and then the banks would demand things that cost money”.
TLS certs can have one level of wildcard (even let’s encrypt supports this), and creating subdomains programmatically is not exactly black magic - the main blocker from the technical side is that the code to update the DNS is usually not portable between providers, so it’s not adequate for a federated open source project.
Also there was no actual plan, so the Taliban won in Afghanistan and occupy even parts of the country they didn’t have before, and in Iraq it led to the creation of the Islamic State. And Israel itself already has a history of radicalizing Palestinians with their disproportionate responses to Hamas.
