It's just an information page about the cuts that have been made, 404 could have reported this to the admins first but needed the clicks...

The same dudes who stood up this page are now writing COBOL to determine what cuts to make. Sounds like a great outcome.

  • Minimizing government spending is a good thing. Bloated and inefficacious programs need to be scrapped. Optimistically, programs that do not enrich only the legislative class will spring forth due to the new demand for better audit trails/logs.

  • You don’t know that though.

    I bet if you poke around nvidia.com you can find some bad Wordpress sites. Does that mean the GPU engineering is bad?

Nah, this is an important story about how incompetent the developers are who have taken it upon themselves to dismantle the US federal government.

  • It's just an information page about spending cuts, everyone in the thread is overreacting and embellishing.

    • It's not an overreaction. It's a demonstration of how incompetent and lackadaisical the developers are that have been given totally free reign over government systems and data. If anything this thread is underreacting.

      DOGE is an autocratic power grab, and there's immense risk of damage, whether intentionally or through incompetence.
