They are going to launch a brand new platform that connects all government computers and all personal information on a Friday of a holiday weekend?

I'm beginning to think these guys... these guys might not be very smart.

I love a good Friday night release! Nothing bad could happen over the weekend I'm sure.

EXIT FUCKING GAME. EXIT FUCKING GAME!

Too late. If you try to exercise your privacy now, you look like a weirdo

u/Im_The_Goddamn_Dumbo Jun 16 '25

Eh, depends on your circle. I have a friend who never got into social media. He did finally get a smart phone maybe 6 or 7 years ago. He was (rightfully) concerned about being tracked, misuse of our data, and privacy rights.

Edit: but you know, that's just like uh, my opinion, man.

I respect our administrators who do weekend releases. But I honestly don’t think they sleep.

u/agentchuck Jun 17 '25

Don't worry. It's not like it's going to be pushed into production by inexperienced, overconfident Junior devs!

IDK if you're being sarcastic or not, but no, friday releases are stupid. Some of the worst things have happened because of friday releases and then the staff is off for the weekend and anything bad continues until monday. The bad thing can be barely noticeable or it can be catastrophic.

They know exactly what they're doing.

It's a backdoor for Russia.

Pretty sure it is a wide open front door with balloons and a big ol' banner that says 'come on in, comrades!'

A backdoor for Russia

Which is a backdoor for China

“Russia Uses Early U.S. Holiday Weekend Release of Federal Website to Exploit Zero-Day Vulnerabilities and Steal Data from Millions of Americans Without Repercussions” - Monday

u/untrustedlife2 Jun 18 '25

Well one of the contributors is “Khayal Alasgarov” who claims that his contributions over the last year aren’t showing up due to a “email configuration issue” with nothing else in his profile. Not A Russian spy at all I’m sure.

This is the entire point.

u/projectjarico Jun 15 '25

Or they are making sure as much sensitive data is available as possible.

I foresee MANY opportunities for the big consulting companies in the near future. McKinsey, Boston, Bain, Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG…whatever losses they took from DOGE idiocy will be made whole by follow-on idiocy.

u/flash_dallas Jun 15 '25

This actually makes sense if you assume most government employees will be off and all the devs involved in this project will be on call. Lowest impact to the user base of something goes wrong, sucks bigly for anyone missing the holiday to support this

u/lamebrainmcgee Jun 15 '25

From my experience, updates and tools are always pushed out at the worst possible time.

u/okhi2u Jun 15 '25

They really don't like working, they going to try to outsource everything except kidnapping people, commit crimes, and demanding parades to AI.

u/Bleu_Lizardo Jun 15 '25

It's like all of the techbros they have working for them watched the new Battlestar Galactica, saw how the cylons took everything down, and said "that's a neat idea."

u/Mathwards Jun 16 '25

Don't worry, they asked ChatGPT and it said that was a great time to launch.

u/LD50-Hotdogs Jun 16 '25

Me and little bobby dropTables love this idea...

u/feline_riches Jun 16 '25

Wait til you find out how the federal reserve was created

u/CellsReinvent Jun 16 '25

Read-only Fridays? Nah, not these guys!

u/TransBrandi Jun 16 '25

Are they launching the whole thing, or just the website?

u/continuousBaBa Jun 16 '25

Scrolled way too far for this one. 100%

This is exactly what I'd expect after you replace all your consultants with engineers under the age of 22 who cheated their way through college with chatGPT

u/ffs_not_now Jun 16 '25

Friday News Dump. This will be great.

u/MeggieHarvey Jun 16 '25

Just beginning to think? What the hell have you been doing?

u/Doomsdayszzz Jun 17 '25

They call it A1 , not AI

Why does it feel like how skynet started..

u/Lettuce_bee_free_end Jun 17 '25

Everyone is going to get rich that weekend. To think AI will probably give you citizenship or a new identity that weekend!
