Your mom seemed pretty reasonable and authoritative during our encounter last night.

Same. Signed up for one service and the Tuta account was gone within 2 days. Fuck em. It’s one thing to know your account can disappear at any time, it’s another to know they have a consistent history of doing it. I will never consider them a legitimate option for email nor recommend them to anyone.

It’s different. Try going to the site, clicking the permissions button (two lines with circles at the ends) in the left of the URL bar, and see if ‘Extract canvas data’ is blocked. If it is, I’d suggest unblocking it and then re-loading the site, navigate to the part that’s messed up and see if it asks if you want to allow canvas data extraction. If so, you may need to reload the page again for it to work properly. If that isn’t the case or doesn’t work, I’m out of suggestions.

Have you tried only unblocking the Canvas tracking protection? This sounds like what happens to me when a site actually uses the feature to render something but it’s blocked.

I cannot fathom the legal fees that will be incurred if they release 99.6% of Spotify to the public for free. Holy fucking shit.

That judge is a dumbass and any precedent that ‘justifies’ this ruling should be reviewed and struck down. This is called theft. And do eminent domain too while we’re at it.

Glorious. Fuck Nintendo.

If only Google had prevented Chrome users from installing open source extensions from other platforms where Google doesn’t check the code’s changes and forced the Chinese government developer to upload a picture of their ID and pay a $5 fee, this could have been prevented!

Jesus fucking Christ. It’s almost worst case scenario.

OpenOffice source leak when?

Sure you can. You just have to have the balls to assert your rights properly.

The solution is simple then. Allow businesses to maintain a phone number for people who watch ads on TV. Not like businesses getting spam calls is that big an issue. Though I’m certain they’d be very enthusiastic to have the unique contact QR feature available for tracking in web ads.

Phone numbers need to be memorable. A disposable unique contact does not. You can print a QR code, easily save it to a device, transmit it via nearly anything with a connectible screen. Of course you would want to launch it with alongside phone numbers, not in place of it, but this is what should be the next ‘innovation’ in cellular communication.
That said, it does pose the problem of contacting someone with a phone that isn’t your own, perhaps from jail. I’m sure they would never suggest putting an emergency contact chip in your hand for your own health and safety. No government would ever suggest something so silly. /s

Agreed.

Your device and account credentials are unique enough to identify you on the carrier-level, SIM/eSIM as well. Ultimately, every time you share your contact info, it should be a unique code (QR would be convenient enough) generated by your cell provider. If it’s ever leaked, you just notify your carrier to burn it, and give the contact a new unique code. No two people should be given the same contact, and all of the contacts are simply correlated to your device by the carrier. Additionally, when sharing contacts via QR, they could be modified on the device-level to include e2e encryption keys, thus further securing the transmitted information, not at the trust-me-bro carrier level, but at the user-verifiable device level. If the carrier gets hacked, reset the identifiers, associate the new one in your text app to keep conversations going, and move on like nothing happened. You’ll still be better off than if your phone number was leaked. It’s not perfect, but it’d be a hell of a lot more secure than what we have now.

In other words: What if a billion dollar company made Signal, but with cell towers, and not as good?

Well, you know what they say; Shoot for the Moon and you’ll suffocate in space while everyone on Earth is left to deal with the repercussions of your horribly inefficient pollution-producing ‘great’ AI ‘game.’

Slightly better than Vegas. Unfortunately, plenty of people are okay with Vegas odds.

Depends on the tracker I believe. I believe the admins/mods identify an IP as belonging to a seedbox, and anything with that IP seeding gets the high speed label. So, it would be up to the admins/mods.

This is a good idea, but will certainly be enshittification given its innovators. I’d love an AI host to introduce a song every fifteen minutes or so when I’m listening through Jellyfin where it wouldn’t include ads. Given YouTube’s history with ads, that’s probably all the AI host will be.
