An official website of the United States government

Banner states:
"Due to the Radical Left Democrat shutdown, this government website will not be updated during the funding lapse. President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those..." [continues off screenshot]

What a way to get people to donate to your failing party. 📎 Source: www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Text says:
"I understand that donors want some kind of a reckoning," said Steve Schale, a Florida-based Democratic strategist. "But I also think that the kind of state party building that I think [DNC Chair] Ken [Martin] wants to do at the DNC is really vital to our success. And so I hope people kind of get over themselves pretty quick."

So is the x axis is population density and the y axis the amount of the population that lives in an area with that density?

The children don't deserve the outcomes of their parents stupidity. It proves that our intelligence is what keeps our species alive if anything unchecked idiocracy is what will be the end of most and only the knowledgable will survive if they even make it. A sad, pitiful end to a species.

Oh so that's why everything hasn't gone to shit yet. I wonder when they'll start deleting stuff and they actually delete a very important part of the system infrastructure by mistake. It won't take long I guess.

I've been getting a lot of attention on my social media posts on multiple platforms for the first time. I know it'll be many more posts until I get any other hits but i'm still thankful. Limiting expectations is the more important than the little people inside my personal rectangle.
A tiktok I posted recently, not a big hit but not very small either. I've got videos with over a million views on that platform anyway. Though it's nice to get a video that does pretty good once in a while.I post more rarely on bsky than tiktok I don't typically get any likes on what I post and if anything only a few. I got a post that actually did pretty good for my account size which is nice.

It doesn't take much, I have basic web dev knowledge, that's it. It doesn't take someone who is a senior full stack web developer to tell you it's fucked.

Regardless of someones ability of knowing how to code, when someone like me who just has basic web dev knowledge can tell this shit is fucked up is concerning to say the least.

Yes, cause a Yu Pingan who simply gave some malware to a group of Chinese hackers that used the malware in a databreach of the OPM back in 2015 was arrested. Simply giving some malware to people and it's used against the federal government can end you up in some deep shit.

Anyway, you'd have to somehow know which login.gov account is hosting the website, somehow bypass all of the security checks, and from there somehow not get caught vandalizing it. Which btw is a FEDERAL CRIME. IF YOU HACK THE GOVERNMENT YOU WILL GO TO FEDERAL PRISON.
login.gov
The public’s one account for government. | Login.gov
Use one account and password for secure, private access to participating government agencies.

ZINCO @zinco.gay · 05/02/2025
Someone would have to somehow get access to the government's website hosting service, which 1.) is a federal crime and 2.) a federal crime against the government and you don't want to catch uncle sam with his pants down.

If I find anymore issues later on in further code reviews i'll be sure to make a new thread.

Overall, he's taken it upon himself to x'ify government, even his own fake department (which btw doesn't help it in making it more legitimate elon). It's just so fucking bad, which makes sense because the tesla cybertruck exists.

3. It's not even the right banner. Standardization is important for governments, to not only show legitimacy but also not confuse people.

2. For some reason when linked in a message it appears as x.com/doge which btw makes no sense. bsky.app/profile/bens... Tried it out and it didn't work so pretty weird but ok. Other people have noticed it as well (From a forum post): news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4278...
these two lines of html appear to be causing the problem
1102
ZINCO @zinco.gay · 05/02/2025
1. They put the style in the header of the html file instead of just linking a style sheet. Yet for some reason they link a style sheet in the under the body instead of in the head. Has Elon's name written all over cause how tf you fuck up this bad. bsky.app/profile/zinc...
Html references a style sheet but because they didn't put it in the head it caused it to not link so they literally put the entire style code in the head itself 🤦

ZINCO @zinco.gay · 05/02/2025
I've been looking at the code of the website (inspect element since html is public) and oh my fucking god it gets so much worse. It's like a junior dev plus elon's ego came together to somehow make a website that looks so simple still have so many problems. A THREAD 🧵

ZINCO @zinco.gay · 05/02/2025
Oh my god, they literally just copy pasted the IDs (html code that allows you to separately identify an element from the rest) that are standard for those banners, yet they x'ified it by making it all black. Since it literally links to doge's twitter account. IT'S SO FUCKING STUPID

ZINCO @zinco.gay · 05/02/2025
Possibly, if you have no morals you could see if some LLM spits out similar code.

ZINCO @zinco.gay · 04/02/2025
Oh and they just have a random html line at the bottom calling to a style sheet. Why even reference one if you put all of the style in the head 🥴🥴🥴

ZINCO @zinco.gay · 04/02/2025
Looking at this website's code and for some reason they put the style in the head of the html file instead of just setting up a separate css file and linking it 🥴

I actually can't say it enough, the fact the UNITED MFING STATES is going from USING LITERAL FASCIST RHETORIC to USING LITERAL FASCIST RHETORIC while at the same time DIRECTING PUBLIC POLICY TOWARDS TANGIBLE FASCIST POLICY all the while DECRYING CHINA'S HR SITUATION is making my blood boil.

Casually watching shit go wild in America because of the current admins incompetency while working on a case study for why the West (specifically leaders like America) should be more willing to pressure China to improve their Human Rights record is making my stomach turn.

I do not believe one can truly get all of their information from the legacy media only, especially since many do not critically think about if the source is factual. Inherently, when you have power you must use it responsibly and by pussyfooting around insanity allows for it to spread.

ZINCO @zinco.gay · 29/01/2025
Sane-washing and softening language are a major reason why people do not trust mainstream media. To make what the current administration does sound sane while softening the language used to describe the reaction to insanity at the helm is like a one two punch to credibility.

Yeah I can tell, Trump being lofted as a savior in the back online message, no lives or tiktok shop ads, I think the current admin is using it to test the waters/using it ad a honeypot. I don't really know, it just seems off.

You can still download your data but only in JSON and TXT format which both formats compress the data you already had on the servers so most likely they are hosting the data download themselves.
000
ZINCO @zinco.gay · 19/01/2025
The reason why they went dark is because anyone who was hosting TikTok data would also be fined. American data is hosted by Oracle, so essentially they've went dark because of that.

The notice mentions Trump which I don't see much good coming out of whatever deal is struck between TikTok and Trump. It's not available even through a VPN which sucks...

Well, it's been real. #tiktokban
TikTok notice given before the ban saying:

Important update from TikTok
We regret that a U.S. law banning TikTok will take effect on January 19 and force us to make our services temporarily unavailable.
We're working to restore our service in the U.S. as soon as possible, and we appreciate your support. Please stay tuned.

With a dismiss button below.Notice given showing the tiktok app not being available saying:

Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now
A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now.
We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!

Yeah Idk why it didn't work I kept getting a rc=-1908 error. I looked across the web for a fix and every solution that was there was different. I tried each one and no dice. Essentially it was impossible to use it.

ZINCO @zinco.gay · 09/01/2025
I did. VirtualBox I tried to get running but apparently needed packages I couldn't even download through ftp. It was the worst program on the list. I always checked the package manager first, if not I had to use the terminal. Like specific drivers required it and some programs.
100
ZINCO @zinco.gay · 09/01/2025
Typically check if it's available through the software manager, if not I would download through the terminal. Some apps required specific packages downloaded and then installed in a certain order. VirtualBox was essentially dead in the water though.

Linux Mint since it seemed the most user friendly. I've used Ubuntu (have it on an old 2014 acer laptop and rpi pc 400). It was hell and back trying to install essentially anything other than Steam (actual good linux support).
