What a joke. This kind of "reporting" is why I only land on /. once a month at most these days. Combined with that garbage Zip piece, im convinced that I've completely wasted my morning.
Thanks?

He's just another script kiddie that was gassed up by the real threat actors, then handed tools. 9 out of 10 times one of these kids go down, they aren't the brains behind the incident.
They even admitted that somebody else provided the tools. Its just sad that they still belive that they were selected for their leet skillz.

Let's forget that you ignored all the actual privacy problems here.
Please kindly explain how the average PC illiterate parent will notice/find installed VMs or other bypass mechanisms?

You're on fire. And as usual, also dead wrong. You can privately manufacture firearms and easily register them through someone with an FFA in most states.

You can also privately load/reload ammo in most states too.

Oh, wow! 380k out of TikTok's 1.9 billion user base. Whew. That sure is a... much, much smaller number.

The literal definition of sensationalism.

So, you're wrong. Only some states are limited to FFL manufacturing.

How are you so consistently full of it?
As usual, you have no idea what you're talking about.
You've spouted nothing but nonsense for years. Actual years.

Super. Now let's see how microtransaction services impact big pharma.

All this comment does is demonstrate the futility of scaling the value of any historic currency to modern standards. It's never accurate and dismisses important minutiae.

As the kids would say... tell me you don't know about scalpers automating purchases on Amazon without telling me you don't know about scalpers automating purchases on Amazon.

I'm just going to respond here with multiple comments misinterpreting or just.. re-spinning my words.

By leverage LLMs, I mean utilize them to help increase your productivity. Dont conflate what I'm saying with vibe-coding or some other pseudo development c-suite daydream.

Real developers are seeing real benefits in their work flow. Orgs are also releasing internal LLMs for general use among non technical employees and trust me when I say, they are paying attention to who is using them and who isn't.

Tealeaves. Git u sum.

You say this as if they are starting everyone over six figures. Unless you've got a masters or better and you're very well connected, good luck with that.

Entry is going to be more like $60k in the US for less desirable hires. Much less if you happen to be offshore. Which many devs are. That's another trend thats increasing, with many more US domestic organizations currently in the planning phase to open data centers in India and hiring more off shore workers.

Unless you're S -Tier, you're not breaking six figures without putting in years of work with the same org. Gone are the days of a $10k pay bump for a lateral move to a different organization.

The fact is that these days if you're not a talented developer that knows how to leverage LLMs, you're eventually going to be out of work. This is happening right now.

Five years at most is all the professional life LLM haters have left.

Oh, and good luck fighting for WFH in this ecosystem.

And its going to take easily five times that when you consider thenconoarison to fueling times. Stop with the bait headlines. Ffs.
