That will end well, privacy backed by the company that popularized guessing hash IDs of private photos online.

But i guess they take hacker privacy seriously at least https://www.wired.com/story/apple-execs-chose-to-keep-hack-of-128-million-iphones-quiet/

And i'm sure you will receive the breach emails in a background color that match your new iMac.

you are missing the point. Every billionaire is having their own rocket company because that is the new hip way to fake your own demise.

exotic remote place exploration, expensive car crash, rockstar drug overdose, those are all out of fashion today. ...but you still need a way to keep those unwashed plebeians out of your life.

True.
I just read the bill(? DOC-372069A1.pdf) to see if I could pivot it into a national cooperative of local cooperatives.

but they managed to include:
"""
35. [...] we exclude from eligibility [...] construction of new networks, including the construction of self-provisioned networks. In so doing, we agree with commenters [Lobbyist?] that [...] Emergency Connectivity Fund Program support to construct new networks or self-provisioned networks is inconsistent with Congress' intent to fund "the purchase" of broadband services to meet students, school staff and library patrons' immediate needs, rather than the construction of networks.  As such, we disagree with those commenters [citzens] that argue that Congress intended that the Emergency Connectivity Fund be used to support everything eligible [so it is a restriction on top of the base law] under the E-Rate Program's category one services
"""

So, yeah, that money is *ONLY* to purchase already existing monopolized access from the big 3 who paid effective lobbyists to screw everyone here.

This paid article is so bad, they just pasted the original mass-marketing email they received from their handlers with the payment. The links have 5 nested tracking elements.

here is one example, the link on the words "open protocol" for extra irony:

https://secure-web.cisco.com/ long hash /https%3A%2F%2Fnam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Ftechcommunity.microsoft.com%2Ft5%2Fidentity-standards-blog%2Fion-booting-up-the-network%2F long hash %26sdata%3Dv8ea9r%2BXpuOxntySqZw%2BxMxtjnNCveQWVDSaN7yy%2BnE%3D%26reserved%3D0

PS: this commenting system where you can't paste relevant information because "filter error: That's an awful long string of letters there". yeah it is. it is the point of the comment dumbnut!

Comment Re: buying Amazon rainforest, sight unseen, on FB? (Score 3, Insightful) 75

by nazsco (#61105194) Attached to: Amazon Rainforest Plots Sold via Facebook Marketplace Ads

this is not craigslist scamming rich teenagers in san jose. The seller already killed or scared the indians, and now facebook is just to find the buyer, who is paying exactly for the privilege of someone dealing with the indians. nobody is paying for the land, the land everyone knows is free.

But good that you can live such a sheltered life in your suburbs that you think the worse can happen is some schmuch losing money over a too good to be true deal. sadly facebook and other companies are global monopolies run by people like you.

Comment Same scam as WeWork (Score 1) 129

Remember when WeWork CEO used company money to buy/rent his own properties above market value?

What about the TSLA CEO who used company/investor/shareholder money to buy his shitcoins at the highest price in decades ...but the shareholders actually thanked him and gave him even more money! Genius.

Exactly! They never say your private messages are not being parsed for Advertisement profiling you.

They clearly say it "won't affect" whatever is already in place. Which you assume is privacy, but c'mon, it's FaceBook. Do you think whatsapps servers grow on trees?

Also, a good time to remind everyone that *whatsapp group messages are visible to the server*
