Eurofighter Typhoon shenanigans
When you literally add “if you commit real life treason, we will ban you from our videogame forums” and it still doesn’t work.
No force is stronger than the autistic urge to correct something that is wrong in the special area of interest.
Damn straight…
This is known as the Dunning-Kruger effect.
actually Cunningham’s Law
Somebody took the bait :)
aa i didn’t see that lol
Hahaha this made me love Lemmy
Nice try
It worked! https://lemm.ee/comment/16869673
AGAIN?
It’s practically a weekly occurrence at this point.
Surely we can do better. Daily?
Made me chortle
Even a friend of mine has contributed to these occurrences, he leaked literally all the specs of a US fighter jet because someone got a minor detail wrong.
Although, he is also autistic and really interested in weaponry so it’s not surprising lol.
If I had a nickel every time someone posted classified documents in the WarThunder forums I would have
23Enough.
Disagreeing with the moderators is also against the rules.
At least they admit it.
They didn’t say disagreeing with moderators, they said disagreeing with moderation.
I read that as: You can disagree with how a mod applies the rules and challenge that. You can’t disagree with the rules themselves, the rules are the rules, take it or leave it.
And personally I think complying with NATO export restrictions seems like a good rule.
But I want to win an Internet argument!
No you don’t.
Yes I do!
I’m pretty sure the other dude knows you better than you do
I’m pretty sure that other dude knows shit!
Like, you know, from the ass!
Yeah, thats crazy to me.
All of this has happened before, and it will happen again.
What’s next in the rotation? Helicopters?
Tanks are on track.
Naval is on the horizon.
Planes will go around again.
Firearms will get a shot after that.
Missile launchers would be a blast
Toss-up between grenades & drones next
So say we all!
When are we getting them alien tech?
Somebody please leak them.
Someone comes along with a “You primitive earthlings! The ØXÇ-57 Plasma Cannon has a much faster cool down. [Link to schematics]”
probably the most compelling evidence that aliens have not visited Earth, if they did then technical documentation would have been leaked on warthunder forums.
Can we get an alien-themed DLC or something just to make sure?
ØXÇ-57 Plasma Cannon
War thunder UAP expansion when?
They’re all UAPs if you don’t know what they are!
“Good thing I’m not a real pilot. My eyesight sucks.”
someone posting the tic-tac specs to win a shitpost argument would epic
No point in leaking that data if you can’t go “look, that alien ship is wrong. Here is the technical doc to prove it”
I don’t think they let the fresh-out-of-ROTC war thunder-obsessed lieutenants have access to Area 51 lol
Opsec? What’s that?
I always wonder if those leaks lead to wikipedia improvements on the given topics somewhere down the line
Wiki requires citation. It’s pretty easy for a government to have someone go in there and revert it for being uncited.
At what point is information considered public, once it is public or once its declassified?
According to the government, once it’s declassified.
Once it’s been declassified. Executive Order 13526 specifies the necessary procedures. Among other things, it states that the original classification authority must set an expiration date, after which the information should be declassified.
If an earlier date isn’t set, documents will be automatically slated for declassification after 10 years, or a maximum of 25 years(at the discretion of the classifying authority), barring certain exceptions.
That’s the american governments rules yes? I’d imagine its not too different for the Italian government.
In the United States, at least, it’s not illegal* for regular citizens to publish leaked documents of whatever status. It is illegal for security clearance holders to access information they’re not cleared for, regardless of where that info is. If an Internet forum allows classified leaks, that would make it difficult for security clearance holders to safely browse that forum.
- There are statutes on the books that would punish this type of behavior, but they are usually considered to be unenforceable because of the first amendment to the Constitution. Julian Assange was a notable example of a non security clearance holder non-US citizen who was prosecuted under the Espionage Act. (Or at least an attempted prosecution that never quite cleared extradition…)
What’s the current record for days since leak?
Seventeen
For real?
I know nothing of this game, except I’ve heard at least three instances where this happened and it always makes me chuckle.
There were at least 14 according to Wikipedia.
For real?
… Checks community name … Yeah, I’ll buy it.
I met a Eurofighter Typhoon pilot once. Having made the Airfix model as a child, I was suitably impressed.
And yet in that same timeline Okami 2 has been announced 18 years after the release of the first game so as long France postpone its warning shot until the game release and I can finish it, I’m ok with that ^^
Oh shit, Okami 2 is finally happening‽
Can we get an rerelease of Okamiden to go alongside, please? Have all 3 in one place?
nope, no okamiden since Kamiya is returning as Game Director and he consider Okamiden as a Capcom treason. Okami 2 is officially the direct sequel to Okami replacing Okamiden in the timeline
Is Okami that PS2 game with the white dog?
yes and it’s one of the best game ever. It has since been rereleased as “Okami HD” on modern platform and the sales on this remake must have been really good since Capcom has greelight the recreation of a whole game studio “Clover”, rehiring the old Okami Game Director and one of the japanese gamedev legend Hideki Kamiya to make the sequel
That sounds promising! I think I bought it preowned for PS2 as a kid but not sure if I ever got round to playing it :o
This just officially became the best Friday ever.
I wonder if War Thunder forums will be one of the things Russia will keep allowing connections to (they’re planning to get off the wider 'net), since it’s such a treasure trove for classified info on other countries’ arsenals.
Disconnecting the country from it doesn’t mean their government won’t have access…
Simply put: no. It doesn’t make any sense.
Russia as a whole will not be cut from the internet. North Korea isn’t cut from the internet. The public is. And the public does not need this information
Geez, again?!
technically this one wasn’t actually classified, it’s just “NATO restricted” so if you live in a NATO country (or even some allied countries iirc) you can access it freely as if it was declassified, you just can’t send it to China or Russia.
Like you can just freely Google that manual or purchase a physical copy without any sort of checks.
That isn’t what NATO Restricted means, at least not in the US—I’m not going to attempt to delve into Hungarian law. It falls under the category of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) established by Executive Order 13556, and codified in DoD Instruction 5200.48
This information is not freely available to the public, and must be cleared for release according to the procedures detailed in the aforementioned documents, which specify that it should only be disseminated for official government purposes.
Controlled Unclassified Information
Yeah, so it’s not classified.
Unclassified is still a classification level and doesn’t imply that it is meant for broader dissemination; CUI would need approval to be shared. People like you are why everyone has to suffer through annual training every year.
People like you are why everyone has to suffer through annual training every year.
This hit me hard and now I’m angry. But it explains why I have to speed run sexual harassment and security training every year even though it seems like a capybara would know better than to do the things being warned against.

I feel like you’re taking this a bit too seriously.
You literally know nothing John snow, and your ignorance is apparent to anyone with even passing experience in this space. I know this because I only have passing experience in this space related to dumbass cyber security rules.
I really don’t get why everyone is taking my comment extremely seriously.
Oh I don’t anymore, I just wrote this before I caught up on you being a waste.
Good to hear, remember this is NCD, and you should except people to make jokes and be a bit silly.
That’s literally what classified means, that it has a classification. That classification is NATO Restricted.
As the other reply mentioned, it’s “Controlled Unclassified Information” so it’s in the name, unclassified.
That’s not what that means. You’ve been told what it means.
Yes, and, like my first comment t said, it’s technically not classified.
You’re still wrong and at this point, getting fucking annoying
Sure, whatever, if it means that much to you.
That’s how we enforce Rule 7. By actually knowing what classified means.
…technically, it’s not not classified, it’s unclassified…
…does unclassified require something to have first been classified?..semantically, certainly, but technically i have no idea…
