That was an accident, sorry. Thank you for pointing it out.

They fined and arrested people over a TRIAL? I wouldn't want my face recorded either. Also what if I'm wearing a scarf cause it's cold? I guess anyone hiding their face is up to no good now. /s

I hate how this whole facial recognition thing is slowly spreading. China, airports, and so on. They will all probably claim "it's public space" but that shouldn't give them the right to tell us we cant hide our faces.

Rip, title typo. Sorry.

Is reposting that big of a deal for you guys? I thought about doing it, but I figured why repost reposts from reddit anyway.

Add to that, I try not to spam my own sub so I don't back log and clutter the main New tab.

If you guys want reposts though... Lemme know...

Not only this, but businesses on legacy systems in general. My previous job had to stick with XP and Windows 7 due to the software and hardware restrictions of their legacy system. It was terrible.

Agree, data is worth far too much money overall for the big corps to be passing on.

BackwardsCompatible · 2019-05-09T05:34:19+00:00

Too much money behind it for them to really delete imo.

Why not just post a link to the fix that can be installed WITHOUT enabling Studies? This sounds like a clever plan to get more people to share their data via Studies…

The fix in question can be installed by clicking this link [1]. It’s signed by Mozilla.

It's basically account stuffing. A large chunk of the stolen information came from the Town of Salem breach. Attackers used that login information on twitch and other platforms to get access.

Interesting. I read the portion about messaging applications as I have had some issues with Telegram and have not been happy with it. It has been going down hill fast IMO and it just doesn't feel secure. Will be looking into Briar.

There are tons of scammers on Facebook too. It's honestly crazy on there.

I used to use ABP a lot. I didn't switch personally due to any security issues overall, but I started to notice some sites getting around their ad block. I've had ublock since.

Sometimes people have motives, other times just for fun.

In several other articles I posted, Facebook tracks you even I you do not have an account. Simply logging out won't solve anything. Also apps feed data to Facebook regardless of if you have a Facebook or not. That I another article I posted as well.

BackwardsCompatible · 2019-04-10T10:31:19+00:00

Deactivating is not the same as deleting or removing all data, however.

BackwardsCompatible · 2019-04-09T23:50:18+00:00

Please see the other articles I posted. You don't have to use Facebook to be tracked.

BackwardsCompatible · 2019-04-09T17:51:29+00:00

VPN your IP, delete any and all accounts related to Facebook, you could potentially stop it. Delete old data? I would say no.

I would still personally argue no.

BackwardsCompatible · 2019-04-09T17:02:08+00:00

Unless you stop using Android devices and stop using the internet. You can't. Even if you never had an account, they still track you. Android applications and other sources feed data to Facebook. They make too much money off of that data to ever back off and unless legal actions take place, it isn't going anywhere any time soon. One thing I will have to look into though are the EU regulations about a user having full rights to their account and information.

I will post another article about the android apps and if I find a few other good related ones, will post those too.

There was another bot banned too. The one that turns videos into gifs I think. Don't recall where I saw the post on reddit.

If you ask me, Saidit is an upgrade anyway so no backwards compatibility needed! Its a step forward from Reddit, not backward.

That article is cancer in its own, geez.

And this is why reddit is censoring everything too. I actually assumed most of the incest stuff was a joke or shitposting. However I know there are people out there that are legit too.

BackwardsCompatible · 2019-03-23T23:33:23+00:00

It's honestly really sad these people are that terrified assuming its shots.

BackwardsCompatible · 2019-03-23T23:27:54+00:00

I pretty much left reddit too. A lot if my favorite subs got banned or went to shit due to modmins. You post in one sub and then 5 others ban you for it. What a joke.

Or if not third bathrooms, multiples of those "family" bathrooms where one person goes in at a time and can lock the door. That way everyone just uses their own bathroom. Pain for companies and expensive? Yeah sure, but it is an option. Smaller places could get away with this. A local ice cream store has a "family" bathroom and everyone just uses that regardless.

I can't even click on the video to start it on mobile. I know it says "some features" but technically the entire video is censored for me if I can't even watch it. that's odd and not good IMO.

I am going into Information Security. The job market for that is always growing and I find the concepts very interesting.

As for moving, its a few hours away from "home hom", but the drive doesn't feel unreasonable. Its almost like Animal Cross IRL except I have a job. My apartment is pretty much empty lol

Go down in a blaze of glory and get your account banned instead? Jokes aside, they should make the link easier to locate.

Honestly it'll just be all the same stuff on all the subs. I don't mean like reposts, there just won't be actual diversity. It'll be all the same "wholesome" and "safe space" type content resulting in a single echo chamber across the entire site.
