  • Biden administration moves to ban medical debt from credit reports

    Jump

  • I appreciate the move but changing definitions of credit worthiness isn’t going to fix the problem.

  • Democratic-leaning doctors flex political muscle over abortion restrictions

    Jump

  • I’ll settle for them hiring experts as needed.

  • Do I really need a VPN for pirating?

    Jump
    • they sue you for a portion of your future savings, because you single-handedly responsible for their imaginary loss of profits, judge agrees.
    • free tier vpns are good enough. But the competition amongst “no log” vpns is pretty fierce. People say you can only trust 3 specific vpns who would rather shut down than spy for a government, but if you’re just downloading movies then you can expand your choices.
    • the point of the vpn is to hide your ip address. Self hosting in your home defeats purpose. The best free option is using I2P for torrenting.
    • Wait till December for all the Christmas discounts. An annual bundle works out to $2-4 a month.

  • Stupid question but is it possible to get a virus from an MKV file.

  • When was the last time VLC paid $50K USD for a proper security audit?

  • Stupid question but is it possible to get a virus from an MKV file.

    Jump

  • It’s possible to get a virus from any data that enters your computer full stop.

    Likelyhood wise: that virus on the MKV will have to attack the operating system preview system (which means you fucked all the way up to personal nation state attention), or attack the video player (which is a lot more likelier, they discover theoretical exploits all the time).

    You’re talking about streaming with VLC? Was it a trusted source? Cause otherwise the FBI or script kiddie has probably fucked you up.

  • A guide on how to pirate e-books using IRC

    Jump

  • As a side note, I've completed writing this guide and have found that HexChat is no longer supported.

    Now that a sign of a true IRC user

  • [question] For a Universal Declaration on Fediverse Rights, or: At the Core of the Threads-Debate lies a deeper problem: how can the Fediverse grow without losing its soul in the process?

    Jump

  • It’s protocols over platforms. I’m not too worried about the protocol.

  • Is it ever okay to film strangers in public?

    Jump

  • My opinion is that concealed filming be inadmissible in court without a “warrant” to allow its entry as evidence. Prosecutors have to state what they hope the concealed video will contain, and only that portion can be used.

    Too many missing people for me to agree entirely that concealed filming is completely bad.

    The Cloudflare Poison

    Jump

  • I don’t believe that the NSA has a portal giving them direct access (probably naive).

    They definitely have a secret agent 🕵️‍♀️ nerd on the inside providing intel on the structure. Maybe inject exploits or guide them when needed.

    They definitely have a direct e-mail address to cloudflare legal to serve national security letters that cloud flare is obligated to comply with. Which is a portal with extra steps, but which cloud flare can raise a fuss if they notice the requests are turning into vacuum cleaners, and not union membership research.

  • SimpleX network: private message routing, v5.8 released with IP address protection and chat themes

    Jump

  • Most important part of the blog post:

    We are planning a 3rd party security audit for the protocols and cryptography design in July 2024, and also the security audit for an implementation in December 2024/January 2025, and it would hugely help us if some part of this $50,000+ expense is covered with donations.

  • What's the best messaging platform?

  • Signal is a close second.

  • Heather Mills Tells UN Officials To 'Eat Vegan' If They Care About The Planet

    Jump

  • The Expanse novel series has space UN.

    Plenty of high rank humans still have access to regular domesticated animal meals. They can even eat real eggs and drink real milk.🥛

  • A new account rekindles allegations that Trump disrespected Black people on 'The Apprentice'

    Jump

  • POC: But we hate black/asian/latin people too!

    Racists: That don’t make you white!

    Pro tip: don’t hang out with people who judge others by uncontrollable factors.

  • 'Cyber terrorist' who reported fake 911 calls across US and Canada sentenced to prison

  • Cause it can always get worse???

    Just spitballing here, but oxygenated cooled buildings for the rich, middle class subscribe for oxygen bottles while they are awake, lower class literally unable to think straight.

    If you’re talking nuclear war, then there’s going to be another population bottleneck in human history. Not like we haven’t gotten past 6 already.

    Like Colonel Sanders in the matrix says: There are levels of survival we are prepared to accept.

  • “if you can obtain a copy of a court order...we’ll do our best to make it happen" Unlike Steam, Good Old Games claims they are willing to transfer accounts to entitled parties after a user's death

    Jump

  • I think the phrasing is wrong. GoG wants a public document detailing the legal estate transfer. Can’t just email them a death certificate and claim your a beloved grandson.

    People have died because of wills. Shit gets messy.
