I heard years ago that it was done partially to allow the UK to be turned into a tax haven or some such dodgy shit.

Side hustle? Money on the side.

I didnt discuss anything dicey or sensitive or even too personal, and i never used a paid service. But honestly all these data breaches are just… fucked. Especially with governments increasingly passing ID laws that will result in even more sensitive information being leaked (and that already happened in the UK).

For some reason hearing about this breach pissed me off even more than usual.

All part of the plan.

Is there a single person online who hasn’t been victimized by a data breach yet?

I find it difficult to believe that all attackers are necessarily from different countries. There was a breach in Canada some years ago when a bank lost tons of information and was hated for it. The hackers were in canada and it was on the news when they were finally caught. But that was an exception and not the rule.

Turns out you fucking CAN win.

I did that on my windows computer but couldn’t get it to go on linux mint for some reason.

Its actually even stupider and more destructive than the movies.

Don’t they discover them and track down who they are? If a group of jackass hackers (self taught or otherwise) are always trying to break into a system and failing a few times before getting in, wouldn’t the defenders be able to trace something about where those people are? Like is it really that dumb? Are defenders really a bunch of keystone kops driving around in circles and bumping into walls?

Also isn’t killing a person based on an immutable characteristic (race, sex, etc) already a hate crime? In the US if someone kills a woman or girl primarily because of their sex that is a hate crime on top of being first degree murder (which is a serious enough offense as it is).

I never heard of zorin. I went to mint. I originally wanted a more hardcore distro but I decided to save the remaining bit of my sanity for later.

I need to get rid of my Amazon prime account…

He paid 44 billion for Twitter and it took him a few days to raise that much money. He could have been the man to write the cheque to end world hunger and be honored by millions for generations to come (despite all his other bullshit), but he chose not to.

The world starves not because we cannot feed the hungry, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

He once said that if there was a concrete plan to solve world hunger he would do it. Then a representative of an actual plan to solve world hunger showed up on his Twitter feed and provided him with information and he was like ‘nah’.

And the plan would only cost a small amount of his fortune. He bought Twitter for much, much more.

Same thing. I want a phone that can install grapheneOS.

With deep faking and AI anyone can make pedo videos with anyone in them.

There will be workarounds. They are fucking stupid.

I got newpipe and pipepipe for my phone and freetube for my desktop/laptop.

I curse myself for not downloading them… but there was so so so so so so so so goddamn much…
