Tried to love TW. 100% no-go. From the start, only hassles.
Pushed back to Mint where things work.
Fun fact: A zip code, gender, and a DOB is enough to have an 85% chance of it being you. It’s a very well-studied area. You are de-anonymized with very little data exposed, all of which Google includes in ad auctions.

Your data is exfiltrated and sold for ads. You don’t even need to buy an ad, bidders on ads can see your data
Y’all do realize that Gmail has been reading your emails and attachments from the start, right?
Someone please explain why doing that for ads isn’t terrible, but how this crosses the line?
The reasons not to trust Google are as old and numerous as the trees.
Well, that’s certainly dystopian.
Oh, no thank you.
This is the only accurate take in the whole thread.
Passkeys solve “well, can’t be fished” by introducing 2 new problems and never resolving super prevalent session hijacking. Even as a basic cost-benefit analysis, it’s a net loss to literally everyone.
Just a clock and a calendar? That’s not the limit of what these things do, but that’s easier to get that functionality without ads.

Sure, but this is a heat map. It’s only relative, not objective. If most of these were 3 months old, and one was only 2 months old, the 3 months would all be in the green.
The age of a VPN isn’t a good indicator of how secure it is.
So then delete the row. OP, you control the spreadsheet, right?
Also, heat map conditional formatting favoring free is a bad metric. Free VPNs steal data, and Tor isn’t a VPN, so this skews all the other paid options to seem negative.
Not hooty owls, it’s a conferencing thing.
Oh, I’m absolutely not criticizing your comment at all. Far from it. It’s fully bonkers that you made a joke that was a good joke, and I can’t take as joke because it hits too close to reality for me.
Life is tragic, not us.
I do a lot of privacy and cyber advocacy and research. Selling lists is what already happens, so this is more real-sounding than I expect Damage@feddit.it knew when saying it.
Streaming services are very sensitive to the ups and downs of anything that’s a standard deviation of from normal. They’re too new to have 10+ years of data to fall back on, so the same overreactions that canceled Kimmel also uncanceled him because of panicky reactions to repercussions.
Wooooah, there, buckaroo. Gonna need a citation for that.
When it’s the db being used to persecute Americans as some nebulous “the enemy,” they will have as much shit data as they please and still scoop you up until you or a Republican donor come to collect you.
When TF have these people ever cared about accuracy?
Said in sarcasm. I figured the author intentionally wrote that passage to evoke the image of miners on a smoke break or something.
Yeah, it was sarcastic. Sorry.
Was this some sort of dare to publish the stupidest take ever written?
Wealthy douchebags fair better then average when the bubble bursts. Always have. Because thier money comes from exploitation, which knows no bubble. This headline is a warning that all ideas contained therein are invalid.
