It’s also possible hat they built in backdoors and Easter eggs that will be used at a later time.

That they could do, with or without COBOL knowledge.

I did hear that muskrat asked for help with a server login issue. Python much easier t use.

It will still be tracked. Here’s an example of how code checkins work. This is an open source GitHub repository. The code here is real code created by one of the tech bro kiddies, Marko Elez. Note how the visualizer that compares what he checked in with previous code. These kids can’t come in and change the way source code is generated into the production system through the repository. That would be a monumentally difficult task.

Likely - I get it, I work with software engineers. With back doors, they can work and wait, and figure out how to override or work around GitHub, if that’s what they are using.

I agree it’s harder. But not impossible especially if you’ve built access in. Muskrat smart enough to playa longer game.

There are many things going on that I just know are wrong. In this, I understand how wrong their access is and all those annual security trainings at work make me panicky.

So angry. Thank you for responding though - I appreciate it.

Can I just add that you have the right to be very angry? I would not, under any circumstances, wish to to dismiss those feelings or make light of how serious this all is. I’m glad that the “team” seems to be dissolving in real time. It’s a reflection on the fecklessness of these nutcases. And late last night, a judge finally put at least a temporary stop on it. Will it be honored and/or enforced? Who knows?

Ha, I didn’t realize all but 2 have. The Mario guy is Marko Elez, who got outed for racist tweets and, well, being a 4Channer. He’s probably like, “But why you kicking me out and not Elon?”

Vance asked that he be brought back - youthful indiscretion and shouldn’t be punished for life. Guess he doesn’t care about his part Indian children.

Vance is a piece of work. I won't be surprised if the Orange Puff's insane blitzkrieg pops his mentally deranged brain right out of his cranium and we'll soon be talking about Vance's bizarre antics as POTUS.
