    Oooo I’m researching this. We call some of them click fix and others clearfake but theyre all fake captcha. Its either from vulnerable wordpress themes or plugins so update ya sites for the love of Torvalds.

    They’re basically a method for infostealers to get downloaded onto the device. They’re kinda nasty and some lead to ransomware if youre really unlucky. The usual payload is intended to leach off an individual and steal passwords, crypto addresses, etc, but as soon as they find out you’re an organisation computer, they use your machine for initial access and potential further compromise.

    Most people don’t run these but I’ve seen at least 3 people who have and tbh usually antivirus stops the 2nd stage payload. So make sure Defender antivirus is turned on, and maybe consider blocking newly registered domains using ad block if you are more tech savvy. Remind your grandparents and young siblings to never do anything with Win+R or disable it on their pc if you know how. Infostealers are nasty and having one on the family pc will hurt every member of the family.

    I think capitalism with a healthy mix of socialism can benefit quite a lot of people. I’m never going to say Australia is perfect, we have spineless government officials that work against our interests to help rich fucks and a considerable problem with how the original owners of our country are still treated, but I like to use my country as an example cos Americans like to hate on Europe for being too different.

    I get charged $30 to see a doctor (this could be considered expensive and our government is aiming to fix this, and there are places you can go for free) thanks to taxes. People actually get health insurance claims paid out because we have laws and oversight of the insurance companies.

    I worked a shit job in a factory putting boxes onto a palette for 8 hours a day, and I got paid $28 an hour to do that with legally mandated break times. That was above minimum wage by like $1.50 or something. We have “awards” (a term I don’t entirely understand tbh) and agreements with the governments that force us to earn a decent wage, and we constantly argue about it being put up. It also gets raised when enough of us kick up a stink. I worked there during Uni, and the business was required to be flexible with my hours. They couldn’t fire me if I said no to coming in because I could take that to a federally funded legal body who would sue them for me.

    Not a single person here is worried about going broke from needing an ambulance or life saving surgery. We have a voting system where the whole country has to rock up to the polls, or they get fined, and voting day is a Saturday. We pay people… almost enough, there’s still issues including inequality issues, but it’s a shit ton more than $7.50 an hour.

    You lot have government officials that consistently let you down and get distracted by the way your businesses are owned. Show up to vote. Vote in your interests. Riot when anticorruption investigations get defunded or impeded. Public servants work for you, make them feel that way. Call them and remind them of that.

    Sorry for ranting but I just get so frustrated by all the talk of tearing the system down and rebuilding. Force the people you voted in to do the right thing, or make them wish they had by ending their careers.
