A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

The lawyer: "You did WHAT??"
Also the lawyer: “AND YOU POSTED IT TO TWITTER?!?!”
The lawyer: pushes his own button
The lawyer: Not only that, but PUBLICLY ADMITTED IT?!
Did this once to a company that treated me disrespectful. In the 90s when I still worked. To not go into any detail: Set a timer for 7 months after I was gone. Virus started infecting everything slowly so that even the backups were useless. I knew their schedule, it was not optimal and not very secure. Well, another few months later, company was sold cheap. Employees taken over and all happy now.
You made this shit up.
How do you test that it actually works?
Create a file named "test" then confirm you can push it to public, rename the test string in your script to .env and then realise you didn't account for special characters in strings! SHIT!
Well that's one way to never get another job again.
Killing company honorable though.
If you’re that good, you can contract yourself out.
The future is self-employment and unions.
Of the two I’ll pick wandering into the forest and dying of exposure.
In many cases, you pretty much didn't exist before you stepped through the doors at your new company. People in all departments are too overloaded with work to take their time properly vetting every person joining the circus
Most companies use background check services nowadays. Sure, you could try to just invent a new persona, but HR will flag you when your name, SSN, DOB, etc come back as bogus.
There are even background check companies that specialize in corporate background checks. They’ll try to estimate or find things like how much you made at your previous/current job, so the company you’re applying for knows what they can offer you without it seeming like a lowball. If a company can spend $100 on a background check and save $10k per year on an employee salary, that’s an easy financial decision for the company.
"most" is the keyword here.
I'd hire him.
I mean, I don't have a company, or employees, but if I did.....I'd hire him.
Thats what they get want you to think
It’s the suicide bomber method
And who is going to know? If you are stupid enough to release the code to your private account, then you might have difficulties to find a new job. Other than that, except when you were in a niche, no one will ever know it was you and the company is not allowed to tell others.

You have zero clue what you’re talking about.
This is criminal behaviour and not only will it prevent future employment it will almost certainly result in jail time.
no one will ever know it was you and the company is not allowed to tell others.
That's absolutely not true. The generally accepted policy is to only confirm dates of employment, conduct, and if they would rehire. The can share anything that isn't a lie.
Additionally, if you commit sabotage you can have charges pressed against you. Serious ones with possible prison time. That would show up with even a rudimentary record search.
Pretty sure before hiring they can check for criminal records.
I hate AI. But this should realistically be called a "arrest me" button.
Yes, you're correct, fighting back often requires personal sacrifices.
big companies leeching off open source and getting their products leaked after a single phishing mail never stops being entertaining
Have you accounted for your access being revoked before you are notified about your fate?
I really hope this kind of stand off becomes normalized. We can all lose.
You seem like the only person in this thread who seems to be aware of the world around them
Suggestion: instead of doing all that directly, the button adds these instructions to the SKILLS file and hope some AI take the bait one day.
Nah. Let him go full nuke!
I would also call it “Sue me lol” button
i am pretty sure he's smart enough to understand this. more people should be willing to make these decisions despite personal costs, otherwise we are proving everyone right who says americans are complacent etc etc
Yeah. Maybe call your lawyer before publishing the company code base so they can tell you not to do that.
Better hope you had a good retainer agreement.
Having a criminal defense lawyer on standby is considered best practice.
