This is the right way if a layoff is absolutely required!

Shutting down a government website until a patch comes out is absolutely crazy. Can't imagine how bad the PHP exploit is. Maybe there's a good reason other languages are more preferred over PHP nowadays.
‼️ PHP UPDATE: The Dutch parliament, the Dutch national cyber agency and Finland's central government have pulled websites offline ahead of the PHP patch.
Finland's state IT centre Valtori is shutting down public-facing central government web services. The National Land Survey of Finland is already down.
In the Netherlands, the Tweede Kamer, the NCSC and the Dutch Data Protection Authority are offline. So are tech site Tweakers and NotuBiz, which runs council information for 100+ local governments.
The University of Vienna switched off its websites, webmail and Moodle. The University of Freiburg and Finland's Haaga-Helia have taken services down too.
Fur Affinity, Pinboard, explain xkcd and every wiki on Miraheze are dark as well.
Valtori says its shutdown is a precaution, not the result of an attack or breach.
PHP was created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994, it initially stood for Personal Home Page
PHP's fix is due at 14:00 UTC today.

The right picture almost looks AI generated. Imagine if our government did honest work, we could have places like this everywhere!
Update: in ~10 days, the site is unrecognisable.
Trash has been fully cleared, the wall repainted, and a road curb laid down.
Footpath is also being built now.
Incredible work GBA (@GBA_office), Virendra Suryawanshi (@Virendra0698), Arun Pai (@arunpaiblrwalks) and team.

Why the fuck are Indians hated so much? What have they done to deserve this level of hatred?
Have Indians promoted terrorism? Have they colonized your countries? Enslaved your people? Stolen your homes? Taken away your families? Kidnapped your children? What exactly have millions of ordinary Indians done to deserve this much racism and hostility?
Is it because they're educated, intelligent, ambitious, hardworking, and competing for the same jobs as you? Since when did intelligence and ambition become crimes? Since when did working hard to build a better life become a reason to be hated?
If your problem is job displacement, then why aren't you directing the same anger toward artificial intelligence?
Why not question AI? Why not question ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Anthropic, OpenAI?
AI has the potential to displace far more jobs than Indian immigrants ever could. Yet somehow, the Indian engineer, the Indian student, the Indian doctor, and the Indian worker become your enemies.
Why? Because it's easier to target a human being with a different skin colour or accent than to confront the actual economic forces changing your world?
And understand one thing clearly.
If an Indian refuses to engage with your racism, if they ignore your insults, if they choose not to respond to your hatred, it doesn't mean they lack a spine.
It means your hatred isn't worth their time.
Indians don't owe you an apology for being educated, ambitious, hardworking, successful, or simply existing.
Being Indian is not a crime. Being successful is not a crime. And your insecurity is not a justification for racism.

Remember the Pakistani TF-2990 syndicate running numerous Telegram groups to coordinate mass anti-India spam, dehumanisation, and hatred?
Their goal was to normalise hatred against Indians to such an extent that people wouldn't hesitate to assault or even kill them. And now, we're seeing it become reality.

Why do Indians defend political leaders as if they are family members?
You can support BJP and still question Modi.
You can support Congress and still question Rahul Gandhi.
A political party is not your family. The government is accountable to the people.
Agree or disagree?
