My server receives malicious traffic from a clearly hacked #USGov tenant on #Azure trying to spam the world.
Great Job folks… you cant even keep a gov cloud save.

Federal workers required to report their daily location, email says

"Unlike the '5 bullets' this is not a strong encouragement. All employees are required to submit this daily information," read an email to election commission staff.

A frame from the video "NSA Cybersecurity Collaboration Center" posted on the NSA YouTube channel shows a web browser accessing OpenAI's ChatGPT to ask, "make a code for note app on java", to which ChatGPT provides some sample code.
The subtitle is, "secure emerging technologies".

"Many things are necessary to lead a full, free life--good health, economic and educational opportunity, and a fair break in the marketplace, to name a few. But none of these is more important than the most basic of all individual rights, the right to privacy. A system that fails to respect its citizens' right to privacy fails to respect the citizens themselves. ... At no time in the past has our Government known so much about so many of its individual citizens.
...
Advanced technology has created new opportunities for America as a nation, but it has also created the possibility for new abuses of the individual American citizen. Adequate safeguards must always stand watch so that man remains the master-and never becomes the victim--of the computer."

...became the global reserve currency, will now rise and the yield difference to the global average will quite likely never be as large as it used to be.

This means that, from now on, the #USgov will probably need to devote a significantly higher percentage of its (federal) budget to servicing public debt, leaving less and less leeway for discretionary spending. Big Infrastructure or emergency spending, as during the Covid pandemic, will be very...

@karlauerbach If the malicious #USgov exerts power over the domains such as .org, then I agree that use of #Wikipedia would be seriously impacted. However, if @wikimediafoundation promotes the federated design they already have in place worldwide, then disruption will be mainly confined to the #USA. Their non-profit status is only a USA problem, unless (as I pointed out), they decide to move corporate outside USA.

There was #DivestOS made for devices that were no longer "in support" but apparently that project got canceled at the start of the year.

My brain is just going crazy that the #USGov is gonna come after me by subpoenaing my data from google, even though I have long since turned all privacy-sharing settings off on my phone.

These older devices may not be the most powerful, but they still can be useful, especially for those without access to better phones.

What Has Happened to People Fired by DOGE?

Thousands of federal workers were abruptly fired by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, as part of a sweeping initiative to shrink the federal workforce and cut government spending. The affected employees include both probationary workers and others across more than two dozen federal agencies
. The scale of the layoffs is significant: at least 24,000 federal probationary employees were fired, and estimates for total job losses—including buyouts and contractor cuts—range from 100,000 to over half a million in high-layoff scenarios

.
Legal Challenges and Reinstatement

A substantial portion of these firings has been challenged in court. An independent federal oversight agency declared the mass firing of probationary workers unlawful, prompting a federal judge to order the reinstatement of about 16,000 employees. However, the Trump administration has appealed this ruling to the Supreme Court, leaving many workers in limbo as they await the outcome

.
Are They Finding Other Jobs?
Job Market Difficulties

Many of those fired have struggled to find new employment, particularly in the private sector. The job market for white-collar professionals—where most of these federal workers fit—has softened, with employer demand down since the pandemic. Many report repeated rejections, lengthy interview processes, and even resorting to gig work or starting small businesses to make ends meet

“Nonstop rejection,” said one former CDC employee. “It’s three rounds of interviews and a writing sample only to get ghosted.” To make ends meet, he started a pressure-washing business

Job applications from former federal employees have surged dramatically, especially among those from agencies targeted by DOGE. However, the influx of highly educated candidates into a weak job market has made competition fierce, and opportunities remain limited

.
State Initiatives and Support

Some states are actively trying to recruit these displaced federal workers. For example, New York Governor Kathy Hochul launched a "You’re Hired" initiative to attract former DOGE-fired employees to state jobs, emphasizing the value of their public service skills. Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin also encouraged laid-off federal workers to seek jobs in the state, highlighting the availability of over 250,000 open positions

.
Uncertainty for Many

Many affected workers are still waiting for legal decisions regarding their potential reinstatement and, in some cases, are receiving severance pay. This uncertainty has delayed job searches for some, while others have begun to reskill or consider career changes due to the challenging employment landscape

.
Summary Table: Fate of DOGE-Fired Workers
Outcome Details
Awaiting Legal Resolution Many are in limbo, hoping for court-ordered reinstatement
.
Struggling in Job Market Facing high competition and low demand for white-collar roles, many report difficulty
.
State Recruitment Efforts States like NY and VA are actively recruiting these workers for public sector jobs
.
Career Changes & Gig Work Some have started small businesses or are considering reskilling due to job market woes
.
Conclusion

Most people fired by DOGE have not yet found stable new jobs. While some are pursuing opportunities in other states or starting over in different fields, a large number remain in a state of uncertainty, awaiting the outcome of legal battles that could see them reinstated to their former positions
. The mass layoffs have created a challenging environment for these workers, both professionally and personally.
