god damn right.

my cat will sometimes put his paws on the left-shit, left-control, caps lock, tab, and the other buttons on that side.

and sometimes when I’m up late at night, I don’t realize that I was typing in caps

as long as updates keep coming, don’t fix what isn’t broken

If everyone’s storage is encrypted with a different key it will be significantly harder to steal shit.

But it seems this post was about phishing scams.

yet another reason why it should be mandatory for all cloud storage services to be E2EE

As soon as I first heard about services like betterhelp and their competitors, I knew it was a terrible idea.

Therapists have to keep records of everything you say to them, and if it’s a big-tech owned service like that that’s already getting hacked every other hour, do you think it’s safe to have intimate details of your personal problems in a database like that?

why do they have to hand it over to whatsapp? Why not hand it over to some cybersecurity researchers instead and then order them to hand over some virus database information to every antivirus company that operates in the US?

Betterhelp is owned by facebook…Or meta or whatever the fuck it’s called now.

Everything is hackable,

and digital ID won’t make it any better

digital IDs are still hackable, even if you have total control over your own, it’s still hackable and it gets tracked everywhere you have to show it.

I don’t know who’s paying you and all the others to say that shit, but digital IDs aren’t about keeping anything safe, it’s about controlling the population and locking them out of society when they misbehave. If you make any political statement that rocks the boat you don’t exist anymore. If you become a whistleblower, you don’t have any freedom anymore. If you do anything at all that the oligarchs don’t want you to do, you’re not a person anymore.

Digital IDs are still horrible.

Neither! They’re both a bad idea.

remind me again how digital IDs are going to make us safer when every company with people’s personal details is constantly getting hacked?

I once knew a guy that was really stupid. He got angry very quickly and had no patience for anything.

He had a lock on the button for his garage door opener that was a slider switch, he caved it in because he pressed it really hard instead of just looking and seeing that it’s a slider switch

Crypto by its nature is somewhat murky and we’ve never really known who hold what or how many whale institutional investors have been pumping and dumping coins to circumvent troubling anti money laundering KYC regs etc

Many crypto currencies that no one has ever heard of are worthless and will always be worthless, but bitcoin, manero and dogecoin are worth something. bitcoin and manero are worth A LOT, dogecoin is worth almost nothing, but its value goes up and down really fast and really drastically every time it changes.

Also it’s a good thing that no one can track who has what amounts of which crypto currency, don’t you think? That way the banks can’t monitor or control it.

crypto currency is good. I’m talking about central-bank-digital-currency being bad.

The dictatorship of Australia just went cashless and their systems for managing it have failed to work the way they’re supposed to multiple times now.

digital currency is a good idea…right?

Not only does it allow the banks to monitor everything we buy, not only does it allow the banks to lock us out of society if we don’t obey, but it’s also hackable.

I said all this because the nanny-state known as Australia went cashless recently and implemented digital currency made by the banks

if we know about the exploits we can set up our security to prevent malware coming from them.

Remember when Apple used to say their software can’t get viruses?
