No, it was a few years back when a researcher found that there was a plain text file of county employee social security numbers just sitting inside the JavaScript of a government website.

There are too many Google results from the upcoming election for me to sort through but suffice it to say, the guy was a class A idiot.

It reminds me of a lawmaker in one of the flyover states that wanted to make it illegal to look at the source code of a website.

Think about this for a second.

And realize that this twat is writing laws.

The Jack Welsh way…

That guy is literally, not figuratively, responsible for most of the shitty things that companies do now.

I feel like podcasts and their apps is what TV and movies should be.

Users pick the app they want to use. They optionally pay a fee or not. The app has any and all TV, Movies, music, etc. they want. In the back end, media rights holders have a pre-defined revenue split agreement.

It’s like federated media.

You know the war that’s being fought by developers against YouTube?

Now imagine that same energy directed towards car companies.

I guarantee you the moment this becomes a thing, there will be jailbreaking and a whole industry dedicated to making sure people know how to get all the benefits that their car has installed but not enabled.

Because if buying isn’t owning, then pirating isn’t stealing.

That’s one of the side effects of all the bank acquisitions and mergers and consolidations. National banks have so much more money to invest in things like Mint/plaid integrations, live fraud monitoring (vs daily fraud monitoring), etc.

Hell, I can’t even get free checks from my credit union anymore.

And it doesn’t help that banks have lobbied to keep credit unions from merging outside of their immediate service areas.

My stance on Jan 6 was had it been successful and Trump was installed as president, it would have been up to people like you to actually resist the new tyrannical government.

Because at that point, democracy was usurped and the necessary peace transfer of power was ignored for a violent insurrection.

The problem is that J6 was a test run. It was not successful because people with morals, many of whom were registered Republicans, stood firm and said this isn’t right. Many of these people have been replaced over the last three years to make stealing an election easier at a state level so that they won’t need to steal it at the federal level.

I’m not saying there aren’t peaceful options. But one side has already decided that peace is not an option. They showed that they will have their form of government, by force if necessary.

I found this out like 20 some odd years ago when I had my first job.

Black Friday is when most name brands sell their shittier models, often with less features.

The problem isn’t that I refuse to pay. The problem is that I don’t want to pay everyone.

Newspapers need a payment mechanism where users can pay once and get access to a range of papers, not just one. People are cutting things like Netflix, Hulu, Paramount, etc because they don’t want to pay for all of these services. I shouldn’t be required to have a subscription to NYT, WashPo, Los Angeles Times, the local news paper, just so I can click on any link.

If they can figure out a way to make this easy for users, they will have more money than they know what to do with.

The reason adblock and paywall bypassers are so popular right now is because newspaper businesses are working like streaming companies and refusing to work together. But they don’t have the exclusive on news like Paramount does on Star Trek or Prime does on The Expanse.

So a link to a news story can come from anywhere and users have voted with their wallets. If they aren’t going to make it easy to subscribe to everyone, we’ll just bypass the paywall.

I use a .tk domain for my home DNS. And for my “dev” domain.

Though I’m rethinking the latter as cloudflare doesn’t allow .tk domains to be updated via the API.

Probably for the same reason that the article states.

Anytime big corporations say this, I just kind of laugh and say, “So…you have nothing to hide, right?”

Nah there was an article that said that it’s fully deployed now.

Your ad block solution must be filtering it out appropriately.

I’ve had to do the full purge and refresh filters thing.

From what I know about North Korea, I highly suspect that the people sent were highly loyal, like the troops that they put in the DMZ.

There was a documentary that I saw many years ago (and admittedly have been looking for it again since) that showed just how much control the government has over its people. The documentary made it a point to say that they weren’t sure if the people they interviewed actually believed that Kim Jung Un was a god or if they just said that for the cameras. Their devotion to him is devout.

For me, it was when reports were coming out that Tesla actually made repairs harder and didn’t allow shops to repair their vehicles without voiding the warranty.

It’s like if Apple sold a car. Proprietary shit can just get the fuck out.

Just look at where Netflix and Amazon Prime are going.

The days of YouTube premium being ad free are numbered. I suspect 2-3 years before it’s announced, rolled back, and then a stealth rollout is done.

There was a whitepaper that Amazon published like…5-10 years into their market dominance where they shared how they wanted to get into drone-based delivery because the vast majority of items purchased on Amazon were very light-weight items.

This tracks with me. The problem that Amazon solved (at least for me) was the ability to find small items that are near impossible to find in a Walmart or other superstore. For example, say you are looking for some wax for your car. You go to Walmart and you see a wall of products. Now did they put the wax in the right place or did they put it with the cleaning stuff? You spend 20-30 minutes looking for this one item that you’re not going to buy again for maybe a few years when you can go on amazon, find it, buy it, and have it at your door in two days.

Walmart and other stores have gotten better with their apps but they need to do what Home Depot/Lowes have done and do aisle AND bay, and, ideally, where on the shelf to find it. They already have this information but they don’t want you you to exactly know where it is because Walmart wants you to browse.

Dafuq? Where is the avocado?!

If their arbitration agreement prohibits class actions, this is the most c/leopardsatemyface thing I’ve read in a while.
