The question to ask is should these defaults be tightened. For example, disallow read and execution of anything outside /var/www/, such as /usr/bin/sh. For example, block syscalls PHP won't ever use to limit chance of a compromised PHP process being able to utilise a LPE kernel vulnerability. And then update user installation documentation to explain the onus is on the user to open up very restrictive default permissions should they really have a need to do so.
I think leadership should be responsible too, but I don't know how you'd prevent disgruntled employees from creating these situations just to hurt execs. There needs to be some shared responsibility for all the people involved.
It should be investigated like other crimes. If someone was found to have intentionally created this situation, they would be held liable. In lieu of that, leadership should be held liable, or at a minimum the corporation should face massive financial penalties (on the order of XX% operating revenue).

The law doesn't prevent anything. There would be an investigation like any other and the activity of the disgruntled employee would be uncovered.
How about putting a fucking red banner at the top of that page saying 'WE DON'T RECOMMEND ANYONE USE OUR STOCHASTIC PARROTS FOR THERAPY, WE DO THIS FOR DAMAGE CONTROL'.
I can't understand how anyone can do this in good conscience.
The TV rights holders for football matches want to block pirate streams by any means necessary. Spain appears to be the worst, people get arrested in the UK for profiting off streams (so far, but the communication is pretty aggressive towards consumers too), I don't know about the other countries mentioned.
They largely can't do anything against consumers in the UK. One of the largest ISPs gave up sending the threatening letters because everyone just ignored them. Occassionally one of the tabloid hacks will write a piece about how naughty you are for pirating the latest .
Most people just set up a seedbox with a VPN connection (this is what I do) and I never worry about it.
Wow, that's insane! If TV right holders actually got their way, it would enable them to control how a match is framed, and manipulate how the match is perceived at a country-level. Surely everybody watching should be able to see the same match being played, regardless of who controls the camera? The situation you describe sounds like a recipe for corruption and exploitation!
I appreciate the attempt, but I'm still dumbfounded by that comment. After all, pirate streams are 1:1 copy of the official ones, and news censorship isn't about seeding newspaper scans…

No, pick one. If it's the former, it's essentially the same as saying they warped society.
I agree that these traits are human and were there before social media, but amplifying, gamifying and exploiting addiction is reprehensible.
The LLM descriptions are terrible though :) here's the one for Windows 98:
> Windows 98 refined the 95 formula, folding the web into the shell with Active Desktop while keeping the familiar look. Its Display Properties carried over the same grid of basic swatches and named schemes — teal still the Windows Standard default — with the classic reserved system colors tuned to their canonical values.
Instead of this, maybe find some copy related to the os (some quotes from the media / internet archive / something)?
I did something similar 10 years ago, but instead of llms I used word2vec to calculate a embeddings of product descriptions and map those to existing categories. The LLM approach is very likely better, but I'm curious what the cost difference is.
Well Russia Today isn't really a news source. It's more of a propaganda outlet. But so are most of the sources that we call news, anyway. Maybe if high quality news sources existed, Kagi could uprank them, but they don't.
This isn't similar to the Yandex situation because Yandex actually returns good results and Russia Today is garbage.
Where is the dehumanisation in “I stopped using this because it makes extensive use of a source I consider untrustworthy”? That seems like quite a leap.
