The hackers have better morals than that

Lost_My_Mind , to Technology in Hacker group puts data of 560 million Ticketmaster customers up for sale

Back when I was on reddit, in 2019, I tried so hard to bring attention to an (at the time) new bill that was being voted on. Net neutrality had just been killed officially, and then they passed a new bill. This bill said that companies can take their data they have about you, and the profile they've built on you, and sell a copy of that information to anyone they want without consulting the user. I was outraged at that.

And nobody listened. I'm not saying that this hack was legal, but whomever has that info now can freely and legally sell that info. And the people who buy your profile can legally sell your profile. As long as it can't be proven it's stolen data, and even then ticketmaster would have to be the one to press charges. I have a feeling ticketmaster would just settle for some cash payout instead.

And what about you, the user? Where do you stand in all this? It's your data, so what are your recoarse options?

Fuck you! That's what. This is all legal. This is big business. Fuck off peasant!

Given the number of preexisting huge breaches, I'm feeling a bit jaded at this point.

So... Instead of attacking the company, they are going after their customers. Awesome.

I've been wanting to do LSD again and now I at least know who to ask where to get some: tech bros.

Alternatively, grow your own shrooms

Shrooms just make me feel super drunk. I've never enjoyed them. 😟

Petter1 ,

Shambala is best place to trip 😜

I do my trips at shankara festival.

I really hate the things that human beings are capable of.

We can be so much better.... but instead we get depraved, morally bankrupt, power hungry pieces of literal trash doing this sort of shit in what seems like every industry.

werefreeatlast ,

Yeah me too. But how do I get an invite?

JovialMicrobial ,

Nice try my friend. You have a good day now.

What the actual fuck.

CNC as a kink is fine, but to be done healthily requires really solid negotiation skills by all parties. Ain't no way in hell you can implicitly consent just by going to a party. Even the most edgey edge-player (someone who does risky bdsm play) I know would nope the fuck out of that.

Fucking awful.

We haven’t heard the end of this, these people are playing with fire

I don't know what's more fucked up. The fact that this kinda stuff is happening or the fact that I wasn't really surprised at all.

SlothMama , to Interesting Shares in Sacré Bleu! Cheese enthusiasts are mourning the possible extinction of brie cheese

Borgonzola and Camembert are good alternatives.

Gork , to Interesting Shares in Sacré Bleu! Cheese enthusiasts are mourning the possible extinction of brie cheese

If the cheese scientists come up with a replacement, I'd be down for trying Brie 2.

Annoyed_Crabby , to Interesting Shares in Sacré Bleu! Cheese enthusiasts are mourning the possible extinction of brie cheese

Ok i totally did not expect a cheese(technically the fungus) to go extinct but here we are. I wonder how it grow naturally since it has to be cloned.

phoneymouse , to Technology in Swarms of AI "killer robots" are the future of war: If that sounds scary, it should

It’s already here. I realized that the moment I saw a Ukrainian suicide drone chasing two Russians on a motorcycle who were trying to out run it. They didn’t make it, but it definitely felt like something out of a dystopian Hollywood movie.

Liz ,

I'm of the understanding that those drones have pilots.

KeenFlame ,

Yeah no unmanned vehicles fly that well. And it's extremely illegal but idk if that really stops anyone. It did work for some types of ammunition though, and biological warfare? So maybe?

gens , to Technology in Swarms of AI "killer robots" are the future of war: If that sounds scary, it should

Glitter will be a self defence weapon.

brickfrog , to Technology in Swarms of AI "killer robots" are the future of war: If that sounds scary, it should

It's okay, killbots have a preset kill limit. Just send wave after wave of human soldiers at them until they shut down.
