Traurige Zeiten

Nette Zufallsbekanntschaft:
"Wir sollten in Kontakt bleiben."
Ich: "Hast Du vielleicht #Facebook oder #WhatsApp?"
NZ (freudestrahlend): "Beides!"
Ich: "Dann kann ich Dir leider weder Telefonnummer noch Emailadresse geben."

Holy shit! This is disgusting. Obviously I knew Windows 10 was collecting telemetry but the scale of it is shocking. 😱 🤬

Facebook pays teens to install VPN that spies on them - https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/29/facebook-project-atlas/ #rr

We need a logo for the #fediverse because when people equate #Mastodon to the entirety of the #fediverse like how @nextcloud did with that image at the bottom, we have a problem https://github.com/nextcloud/social

captcha seriously needs to die. I can't claim a game on GOG right now because the page "times out" while I'm busy taking a 10 minute long captcha quiz

What kind of IT pranks have you played on people??

I used a kinda IP spoof using a proxy (still in kali don't remember name ATM)to gain access to a buddies home router. I changed the DNS to point to one I setup which redirected every common site to a porn site.

Years ago I slipped on my friends GF machine running win98 and changed the shell from explorer to progman and told her 98 sucks I reinstalled win 3.1 I swear I think smoke was coming out her ears as she thought I really did it lol.

If you really want to help Firefox succeed, file a bug on https://webcompat.com/ when you find a broken website. Don't just switch back to Chrome; let Mozilla know there's a problem so they can try to fix it.

When browsers lose market share, they fall into the "compatibility death spiral." Sites don't bother to test, they break, and users flee to the browser that "just works." Mozilla is fighting this battle every day, and it just got harder.

Until December 10th you can grab Company of Heroes 2 (has Linux support ported by Feral Interative) 100% free to keep on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/231430/Company_of_Heroes_2/

Today is a good day to ditch Chrome.

Don't enable spying, privacy invasion and who-knows-what kind of human rights violations in China.

As alternatives try Safari or Firefox. Set your search engine to DuckDuckGo. Live happily ever after. :)
