Having been caught in this mess, mainly due to a delayed flight, what was a simple, one layover 6 hour flight, turned into a three layover 12 hour odyssey, where I'm fairly certain that I only got my luggage to me due to sheer luck.
I've never had this much trouble flying...
The war will continue, and the majority of people who don't have the time/inclination/skills to learn all the tricks of the trade will continue to be caught in the middle. SWATting, DOXing, etc. all prove that.
As long as there are governments willing to do whatever it takes to control their citizens, the war will continue. The DDoS of GitHub proves that.
As long as there is money to be made, hackers will still go after your information (SSN's, bank accounts, etc.) In the end, you just need to get used to the war, and try and survive the crossfire.
My feed is a nightmare, and I keep my friends list pretty well pruned. However, some of my friends friend anyone and get tagged by spammers in their feed, or their accounts get hacked, etc.
And don't even get me started on the ads, or the facebook links on every bloody website.
Damn I feel foolish now I've RTFA, she's complaining about YT trolls, there's no actual violence. One person posted a death threat with her address attached. Everyone from climate scientists to Exxon executives get that sort of shit continuously, it's (sadly) part of being a public figure.
This shouldn't be part of being a "public figure"....it lessens us as humans, and as a society....It's depressing, horrifying, and wrong, in any way, shape or form. There should be zero tolerance for threatening to abuse a person, sexually, or emotionally, or otherwise, even if the comments are made as "trolling". The fact that anyone sees this as acceptable for anyone to receive is scary to me...
Why would you think it's acceptable? Whether in jest or not?
If you want truly secure backups, then you need to control both ends of the backup, as well as everything in between. If there's one thing Edward Snowden has showed us, it's that someone is watching *everything* online...and encrypted data is just begging to be examined, stored & hacked.
Where's your source on that?
I use non-apple chargers all the time for my iphone charging...they work just fine.
As far as I'm concerned, as soon as someone gets on the government dole, either because they're employed by the government, or are being supported by the government using taxpayer money, *every* taxpayer has a right to inspect the data. The person paying the bills has a right to know what they're paying for.
I want a copy of your criminal record, as well as your financial records...
You get police protection in your city, yes? You also have money in a bank with FDIC insurance?
That's all paid for by the government.
Also, I want access to your travel records....you drive on public roads...also, you are protected by the US Military....
Where do we stop?
Studying individual student records, including hobbies, likes/dislikes, etc. won't help judge school progress...
I send back replies to people who are emailing me explaining they have the wrong person, and either mark the junk accounts as spam, or contact their customer service and ask for them to remove my email from their account.
Sometimes, the companies will actually comply, especially if it's for some children's website... (COPPA is a big deal).
For the ones who don't listen, or can't remove me, I just keep tossing them into the bit bucket.
To have worked in one place for so long, and to affect so many folks...wherever you go, it'll be a step down.
Good luck to you!
It still affects me, even now...It's strange what sticks with you.
One possible reason that things aren't going according to plan is that there never was a plan in the first place.
