Wikipedia and its contributors: Good.

Not really.

Domain name owners and server hosters (Wikimedia Foundation): Bad.

Yes, the people who actually own the website are trash.

"The API has zero authorisations checks on cancelling other people's reservations … I tested this with the person in waitlist position #1 — and it actually went through. So you've moved from #4 to #3 already," it messaged back.

Is this a "hack" or just a completely insecure API?

I'll you one thing for certain: It's not "AI". Doesn't exist.

The hegemonic narrative is that it's Iran - retaliating for the imperial terror attacks on civilian infrastructure including and especially water plants. I'm not sure about their methods.

Can't control people without controlling things. And vice versa.

Wow who would have thought that the most lazy, careless, planet-destroying regime on the planet would be lazy, careless, and planet-destroying?!?! For the purpose of murdering people...

What's the worst that could happen?

OFC. It's probably on purpose.

If you're using Microsoft products, then you care about security theater, legal liability, etc... but not security.

.NET Core is likely to be around for a long time.

You wish.

I spent the last few years at my former employer working on transitioning our server-side business layer components to .NET Core so they could run in Linux containers. Someone else got to deal with the Kubernetes aspect - thank goodness.

Why bother? Just to keep paying MS?

Yeah, the proprietary software grift is all about extorting companies with legal liability, hostage data, etc.

Are you assuming that Windows users would do the smart thing? They've already failed.
