It’s “mail”, not “mali”, ya military dummies! /jk

I don’t even have a job, but I can definitely proofread!

I’m sure the African countries will be thrilled Russia is trying to starve their citizens via the announcement today Russia will block Ukrainian grain exports.

If the a doesn’t want to tell his parents for whatever reason yet, it should stay this way.
Honestly sounds like something straight out of Florida lol.

People used to do this to witches and others they decide they don’t like. Can really see how burning innocent people at a stake could take off in society sadly.

“Then came Covid and russias war in Ukraine” bullshit. Then came capitalist interests seeing excuses to squeeze out the general population.

Fuck whoever wrote that.

What I don’t understand is my company set things up to give everyone an alert every time they’re sending something to a non company domain. Why aren’t there any protections like this in place?

Fear of measurable data? This whole post-truth, distorted religious opposition to observable, measurable data is really fucked.

Welcome to the modern dark ages.

penbed400 , in Got tipping rage? This barista reveals what it's like to be behind the tip screen

What a terrible pandering article. It essentially brings up 3 points:

Employees don’t make enough without tips: If employees are having to rely on the kindness of customers for a living wage then they should be angry at their bosses, not the customers. If businesses don’t make enough to pay their employees a living wage then they should raise their prices. If raising their prices means customers stop coming in then they don’t have a sustainable business model.

Reminds people that their is a tipped hourly wage that is $2.13: Apparently this category of worker is twice as likely to be in poverty so we should just tip to subsidize? How about we abolish that law? Fuck the government for continuing to subsidize shitty business practices by allowing a law to exist that statistically shows a 100% increase in the likelihood a citizen will be in poverty. Also this argument is already immediately moot for a majority of states which either don’t allow tipped wages or already tie tipped wages to minimum wage so that you can’t be paid less than your states minimum wage. Honestly this argument is so stupid it reminds me of people who say they can’t earn more money because they’ll make less money because they don’t understand progressive tax brackets. What a shallow analysis by NPR.

“You hurt my feelings when you don’t tip like you don’t value my labor”: Fuck you. Your boss doesn’t value your labor. My job as a customer isn’t to pay you for doing your job. I obviously value your labor because I’m buying stuff at the store that you work at. Your boss doesn’t value your labor. It’s just easier for you to bully and guilt customers into paying your wage rather than demand your rightful value from your employer.

This is a federal law. In no state can you make less than $7.25/hr at a tipped job. If tipped wage plus tips doesn’t make that, the employer must make up the difference.

At least that’s the law. I’m sure some shitty employers don’t follow it. We should get rid of the whole “tipped wage” thing entirely and pay everyone a living wage.

Mr_Blott ,

Fuck me, I just converted the minimum wage in France, which is considered quite low, into dollars

$12.65 :(

Considering the horrific rent prices, food prices and basic utilities like internet, $7.25 is slave wages

SheeEttin ,

Yup.

After adjusting for inflation, this is the lowest it’s been since 1945. statista.com/…/real-nominal-value-minimum-wage-us…

A few more years, and minimum wage will be worth less than it was when it was created in 1938.

partial_accumen ,

In fairness 29 US states or territories have minimum wage higher that that federal minimum of $7.25/hour

Still nearly every state’s minimum wage is still too low.

penbed400 ,

You’re right, I thought it was tied to state minimum wages which some don’t have but it’s tied to federal minimum wages which makes more sense. I suppose that just makes the original argument even more moot though.

DoomBot5 ,

We should get rid of the whole “tipped wage” thing entirely and pay everyone a living wage.

Except one of the largest groups against this are those tipped employees. They rather you keep giving tips instead of earning minimum wage.

We need to increase minimum wage to a livable level at the same time of getting rid of this trash law.

lagomorphlecture ,

Wow people who make $2/hr in 2023 are more likely to be in poverty huh? I never would have guessed that paying poverty wages would work out that way. Color me shocked.

Anyhow I am not against tipping, per se, because I think people who do a great job could be given a little something to reward that but now I just tip out of guilt because I don’t know if that person is going to starve to death if I don’t. Wages should be livable and tips should be a reward for doing an amazing job.

outrageousmatter , in The temperature in China hit 52.2°C (126°F)
@outrageousmatter@lemmy.world avatar

Man, that must be hell, it’s literally death valley temperature since they were the same temperature this week. Kinda ironic how death valley name was because the dudes who were stuck finally left saying “goodbye death valley”, and in the future it’ll literally become death.

Mic_Check_One_Two , (edited ) in Typo sends millions of US military emails to Russian ally Mali

That’s what we in the cybersec business call an “oopsie daisy I made a little fucky-wucky”.

For real though, this isn’t a problem yet. The TL;DR is that Mali has a top-level domain “.ml”. Just like “.co.uk” for the UK. And the military uses the domain “.mil”. So lots of emails accidentally get sent to “[Military email]@[Military email server].ml” instead of sending to .mil.

So a bad actor could simply set up an e-mail server with .ml domains that mirror the military’s .mil ones, and start collecting all of those mis-addressed emails.

So why isn’t it an issue yet? Because we had a contract with Mali to manage their domain. They literally signed administrative rights for the .ml domain over. So the US was able to basically set up their own .ml mirrored sites, to capture all of those mis-addressed emails. They have captured thousands throughout the years, because military members keep misaddressing their emails. Supposedly containing all kinds of sensitive data. Everything from medical records to troop movements and equipment inspection reports.

But that contract ends this week, so Mali could 100% start registering their own domains when that contract expires and domain registrations begin expiring.

Thanks for the explanation ☺️

Frog-Brawler ,
@Frog-Brawler@kbin.social avatar

Sounds like the military should consider migrating from .mil to something like .usmil

Mic_Check_One_Two ,

Or simply set rules to disallow any emails sent to a .ml domain. It’s not a perfect solution because legitimate emails could get caught in the filter. But it would prevent the issue of mis-addressed emails.

dm_me_your_feet , (edited )

I doubt the number of US military who legitimately needs to email .ml addresses is that big. Block it for everyone minus known ppl who deal with mali stuff (and have been briefed on the issue). Sort out the ones you missed on day 0. Worst case some legitimate mail to mali gets delayed - whatever. If its urgent, i hope they have better comms channels than email. For external contractors, send them an email with vague threats of consequences if they leak (and instructions to fix their address books). Some mail will still be missent, but this should mitigate most of it.

Yea that’s cheaper than my plan. Good call.

Matt_Shatt ,

Note to self: set up a usmail domain!

SomethingBurger ,

Or mil.us. .mil and .gov should be removed, and the US should use subdomains for their government sites, just like all other countries.

Not an illegitimate or irrelevant point.

Prison authorities definitely try to prevent it, if for no other reason than it makes conditions dangerous for them too. It’s terrible that it’s celebrated in popular culture though for sure.

The unfortunate truth is that the majority of the people who voted really did vote for this sort of government. For the past 1.5 decades.

The current opposition is like the Biden alternative. I don’t have many hopes for them but we are at a stage where almost anything is better than this. The current government has been a clown show.
