Apple and Google should just prevent their app stores from functioning in Texas. This crap is getting absurd. Cause a few riots from citizens when all their apps stop working, or it’ll only get worse.

The fact that these photos and PII (personally identifiable information) were not destroyed after the verification process was certified is absolutely atrocious OpSec. I don’t even care which of the two companies is ultimately responsible, because they are both responsible.

1. Zendesk for their bad OpSec
2. Discord for both outsourcing this AND not having contractual requirements to properly secure and destroy PII when it was no longer required.

I work in IT, and treat PII like it’s dangerously radioactive, because in the digital world, it really is.

Yeah, I tested it. It’s not a client side thing, it is part of the search page output.

You CAN use it to interact with people without them knowing your number. The only current requirement is specific to registration.

The CEO is saying they are willing to, that should be taken seriously.

That makes the assumption you want to use your phone number at all. And I’m sure the overhead of encryption would break SMS due to the limits on character counts.

How would removing a recurring charge on the processor side result in a chargeback? A chargeback is when you call your processor/card company and tell them to reverse a charge, which results in the charging company also having to pay a fee on top of losing that revenue.

If they can’t charge you in the first place, there is nothing to create a chargeback.

That means nothing when the servers stop taking EU traffic. I get your point, but the real solution here is putting a bullet (double tap) in Chat Control, once and for all.

Why not just make it a website? We’re not doing censoring yet, right?

“Proof of work”. The AI crawlers don’t run Javascript (yet, I don’t think), so it’s basically a firewall to them.

EA was down the path of being awful, long before that. But yeah…

Yeah, this is the case for most “public to private” company moves, and other types of private equity acquisition deals. They are all just a massive shell game to liquidate a company’s value and transfer it to those private equity companies. Vulture Capitalism

So they go and blame ad blockers for the decrease at the same time they cause said “decline”? Classic.

+1 for forgejo

The only requirement of yours it doesn’t hit is “decentralized”, since you’d likely be self-hosting it. If you’re looking to host git repos, you’re likely technical enough to fire up a foregjo container in Docker and go wild with it. Just make sure you have a plan for backups, and you’re good.

Both are Exchange Traded Funds from Vanguard. VTI is "the whole US stock market, and VOO is “just the S&P 500”.

1. Open a brokerage account, I usually recommend Fidelity as I find them easy to get newcomers onto.
2. Put the money you want to invest in there.
3. Use that money to buy either fund
4. Forget about it for 10 years
5. Now you have your house down payment, probably

It’s so surreal this is referred to as the New York Declaration but the US votes against it. I’m sure there’s history there, but I just see the irony on the surface.

Absolutely. Invest it in VTI or VOO, and leave it there (and reinvesting dividends) until you are ready to buy a home in your 30’s.

Or, spend $5K, and invest the rest. You’ll thank yourself later.

I assume that’s HVAC. Makes more sense to fix that before solar.

is that per-month, or for the whole span?
