@rubycentral this community’s inability to reject out and proud bigots is endlessly disappointing.

Articles that include embedded X posts can suck my farts. X is trash, padding an article with social media posts is hack, and having to parse the slop is a chore; fuck the ENTIRETY of this trend.

People would foam at the mouth protesting against this, until they get to live with it. Once they’ve felt the boost in tranquility and livability, they’d fight tooth and nail to keep car dominance from ever returning.

#Seattle Counter-protests taught me something about #DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim & Oppressor) that I wish the people with bullhorns would remind counter protesters once in a while.

You can show #Hatred without #anger.

This is the bedrock of bigoted protests, trying to elicit violence from the left so they can Play The Victim™. BECAUSE,

You can show #Anger without #Hatred.

Being angry at bigots is natural and wise, but they'll turn that Anger against you in front of Cops and Cameras.

Not In Our Name is a group of cis women who have published a statement protesting against the systemic, political and media attacks on trans people. It focuses on rejecting the fallacy that attacking trans people (trans women in particular) is anything to do with protecting women or with feminism.

If you’re a cis woman and would like to support them, you can sign the letter here chng.it/QCvdH587zM

the category error here is deploying something with unformalisable behaviour with any privilege to do anything at all without the express confirmation of a trusted human operator

this is not a novel or surprising means of attacking systems. of course, obviously, if you give a system with no formalisable behaviour, that may execute anything as an instruction by design, elevated privileges and untrusted input, this will happen

the way people are deploying LLMs is driving a freight train through the principle of least privilege and being surprised at the results

@reconbot I'm actually not sure. My reading of the post is that the attack is constructed by creating a malicious issue which is then read, and the payload injected, when a repository owner makes a request to the MCP server to query issues, essentially enabling exfiltration from private repositories via the issue.
