100%. https://x.com/Sn_darkmeta/status/1844080692772401399?t=j3xDz...

This Twitter account is suspicious and odd. I don't think anyone doing this is stupid enough to actually believe that they're doing it to "help Palestine." Seems like a job by Israel or supporting countries pretending to be supporters of Palestine.

The Library of Alexandria wasn't that significant and likely wasn't destroyed in one cataclysmic event, but rather centuries of neglect.

The metaphor takes precedence over the fact.

If an attractive story takes precedence over fact, then we will repeat the story of a James Bond film. Maybe the one with that bikini scene, bikinis are attractive after all.

Jokes on them... I'm already on HIBP countless of times...

It's all good, as long as you're not in that recent AI Girlfriend breach which exposed a ton of users who were trying to coax it into generating CSAM images. https://x.com/troyhunt/status/1843788319785939422

“I went to the site to jerk off (to an adult scenario, to be clear) and noticed that it looked like it [the Muah.ai website] was put together pretty poorly,” the hacker told 404 Media. “It's basically a handful of open-source projects duct-taped together. I started poking around and found some vulnerabilities relatively quickly. At the start it was mostly just curiosity but I decided to contact you once I saw what was in the database.”

What a nice guy.

A demonstration of what collateral damage actually means.

The bracker was a terrorist so we killed the candle stick makers family.

A pop-up that said, "Have you ever felt like the Internet Archive runs on sticks and is constantly on the verge of suffering a catastrophic security breach? It just happened. See 31 million of you on HIBP!"

I had to look it up, but I guess HIBP refers to https://haveibeenpwned.com/

Yes. Not the hacker but as a hacker, that's what hibp refers to
