14th_cylon , to Technology in 'Gay furry hackers' disband after Project 2025 data theft

Mike Howell:

Ok listen to me closely

We are in the process of identifying and outting members of your group

Reputations and lives will be destroyed

Closeted Furries will be presented to the world for the degenerate perverts they are

You cannot hide

Your means are miniscule compared to mine. You now can either turn yourself in or you can cooperate

Oh I so hope that reputations will be destroyed...

14th_cylon , to Technology in Microsoft is reportedly banning Palestinians in the U.S. for life for calling relatives in Gaza

no disrespect is intended

i didn't mean to accuse of anything, it is just morbidly interesting how many layers there are to this modern dystopia we are being lured into right now.

before reading that story, i wouldn't give content moderators second thought as well.

underpaid randos

while you are technically correct, i would refrain from disrespecting these poor people.

Facebook content moderators in Kenya call the work ‘torture.’ Their lawsuit may ripple worldwide

By EVELYNE MUSAMBI and CARA ANNA
Published 9:52 AM GMT+2, June 29, 2023

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — On the verge of tears, Nathan Nkunzimana recalled watching a video of a child being molested and another of a woman being killed.

Eight hours a day, his job as a content moderator for a Facebook contractor required him to look at horrors so the world wouldn’t have to. Some overwhelmed colleagues would scream or cry, he said.

it doesn't have to be clean cut.

i have my personal and important mails in my private mailbox, on my own domain. i use gmail as a backup and spam mail, i use it everywhere where i assume the mail can go to some spam database sooner or later.

so if i lost access to it one day, i would lose history of some confirmations from various eshops and shit like that, but nothing that would really cripple me.

i would definitely not put my family photos there and hope they stay there forever.

which are damn convient

and that's how they get us...

Yeah, guess I ovesimplified a bit. For anyone not aware, it was one report of racism towards a delivery driver.

ok, that doesn't even make sense, but it shows how wildly different and random the "reasons" can be.

i was thinking about the case where guy took a photo of some rash on his son's penis to send it to a doctor and some automated system flagged it as child pornography.

well it wasn't for no reason, it was for stupid reason, which is different, but i agree with your sentiment.

if you are depending on a platform where you are the goods being sold, not the customer, you shouldn't be surprised if you are taken of the shelf on a moment's notice.

everyone has a choice.

14th_cylon , (edited ) to Privacy in U.S. Nuke Agency Buys Internet Backbone Data

oh i absolutely do believe that

  • seller of the "tool" claims that

and that

  • they spent taxpayers' money on it

other than that, i call bullshit 😆

14th_cylon , to Technology in Yet more examples of how copyright destroys culture rather than driving it

fair point, i seem to have conveniently ignored that i was talking about digital, not physical, archive here...

14th_cylon , to Technology in Yet more examples of how copyright destroys culture rather than driving it

oh right, i totally ignored the "digital" part, even though i mentioned that in nearby reply. my bad.

14th_cylon , to Technology in Yet more examples of how copyright destroys culture rather than driving it

Libraries are safe spaces for minorities

this text was primarily about digital archives, so i don't think this applies much

can also help struggling young people understand that they are not alone.

this does make sense, ok then.

Another concerns equity and accessibility:

removal of more than 500,000 books from public access is a serious blow to lower-income families, people with disabilities, rural communities, and LGBTQ+ people, among many others.

so low-income people in the argument are pretty obvious

how about people with disabilities or rural communities? why are they there? do they have easier access to libraries than bookstore?

and what the hell are lgbt people doing there? do they read disproportionately more more than average non-lgbt population, or why are they singled out?

seems like this whole paragraph is just "lets throw in some minorities, no one can talk back at that" lame argument

14th_cylon , to Privacy in Privacy concerns with DHCP (DHCP fingerprinting)

i am not forgetting anything. using your portable device on network other than your own is your free choice and if you are such control freak that you are afraid of being spied on through dhcp, you probably should not do that.

14th_cylon , to Privacy in Privacy concerns with DHCP (DHCP fingerprinting)

there is always an option. unless you are pressured by lets say some state authority or your employee, in which case your identity is probably well known and they don't really need to spy on you through dhcp.

14th_cylon , to Privacy in Privacy concerns with DHCP (DHCP fingerprinting)

Most modern operating systems randomize the MAC.

that doesn't seem to be uniform behaviour. but i think we agree on the merit. if you are this paranoid, you just don't use networks where you don't have control over the local segment.

Your router always knows your Mac address, no matter how you got your ip assigned. And yes, you can use it to identify the client - that is why it is there. This whole post is nonsense written by someone who doesn't really understand what dhcp is or how it works. Long story short, don't look for privacy on local Ethernet segment :D
