Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Repeat after me: DOGE is not an official government agency. The senate has not voted on approving its creation.
Until such time, DOGE is nothing more than a domestic hacking group fraudulently impersonating federal authorities.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@sh.itjust.works 63 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I completely agree with you. But what are you going to do about it? Judge them? Who's going to be the judge?

I'm starting to think that if america wants to get rid of these nazis, they are going to need to do the only thing you can do to get rid of nazis. And it's not democratic nor polite.

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

You can't vote out fascism.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Idk, maybe one of the people employed as a judge?

[–] painfulasterisk1@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago

I said it before, DOGE is a group of terrorists led by an foreign national.

[–] schema@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Didn't they just rename an existing agency? Nonetheless they need to be stopped.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope. It's completely outside the normal government system.

[–] forrgott@lemm.ee 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually, they renamed a committee responsible for streamlining IT services for the executive branch. As such, they do not have any of the authority they claim.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Really, which one? This would be the first I've heard of it.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

You're right, but none of the government is treating them as such.

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@sh.itjust.works 68 points 1 year ago (2 children)

One month, it's not even been one month yet. Sigh...

[–] credo@lemmy.world 52 points 1 year ago (1 children)

These are the people connecting unknown servers to national databases and directly modifying production systems that control.. everything (funding).

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

This could also very easily be a honey pot 🙄 I hope y'all aren't dumb enough to be hacking gov-adjacent databases without proper opsec

[–] Swemg@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it hacking tho? I mean it's open

[–] Pollo_Jack@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ha ha, oh wow. Honey pot? They are threatening tariffs with our allies. All our information is going bye bye.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeeaaah... your information isn't going to be what they lock up for what is literally nothing more than a silly joke.

Don't play stupid games with an authoritarian regime.

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

You hacked a government system from your home connection?

It's universally stupid, man! https://youtu.be/ADfL9g3X-DA

[–] skvlp@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

1 down, 47 to go 🙃

[–] kikutwo@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

When am I getting the notification from the United States Government that all my data has been hacked and I get free credit monitoring?

[–] UpperBroccoli@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago (4 children)

So, please remind me again. You have this ammendmend to your constitution that allows you to "bear firearms" of any kind, even guns usually only used in wars, for the sole and explicit purpose of being able to defend against tyranny.

So that's going down now, King Shitty Pants the first is about to take over completly as dictator supreme. What is your next move now, American people?

[–] credo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No, you see it’s only tyranny if they try to take your guns, or tread on your land, unless you invite them onto your land to look for brown people. The loss of fundamental services and privacy is perfectly okay because it’s all in the name of saving $0.10, which you can put towards that bump stock upgrade.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 5 points 1 year ago

The 2A ammosexuals aren’t going to do anything about it cause it’s their own team doing the tyranny.

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Bud the people you're barking at aren't here, and even if they were they're probably on the King's side. This is what they voted for and believe everything he does is a midas touch. They're fucking idiots.

[–] zarathustrad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You see the party that opposes MAGA does not support the 2A. So their scattered supporters that are armed are insufficiently organized.

It's ok. They still have enough lone Luigi's if they are willing to make the sacrifice to chop a few heads off the hydra. Just need the kids to take up hobbies like 3D printing and drones, if they won't get to the gun range enough.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

They finally fixed the front page. But the "experts" page is still there lol

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

How dare antifa hack their website. /s

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Well of course, Musk loves open source!
