Oh this seems great 🙄

It's nice to be able to have important opsec conversations with your child... such as what if this paper is lost and found by a bad guy... what if it's given willingly... what if the nazis had the jewish kids fill this out.. why would knowing what your enemy does in an emergency be helpful?

Maybe not something you want to fill out when ICE is targeting people 🤷‍♂️

Kid’s social studies sent this home and what’s the study, how many kids fall for a phishing test? Erasing that before it happens. That’s a big no from me.

Now STFU and hand over your ID if you want the pr0n

I know privacy isn't as sexy or enticing as the promise of $1/gallon off but don't fall for this Amazon/Earnify trap. They're wanting you to link your prime account to Earnify so they can gather more data and track you at the pump. Don't fall for these stupid offers.

This is an insane story published a month ago and the DA still hasn't brought charges for this 6 year old case.

Opt out with your **** out!

This understates how bananas the citation is. This citation format suggests ChatGPT published something that was called “What does monkey ass mean?” But following the permalink, there is a kind of low quality screenshot of a chat log, not titled, but with that text in the chat. (1/2)

Just one big change to BADBOOL this month: I removed CocoFinder from the list, because the Google form you need to fill out to opt out was removed by Google due to alleged terms of service violations. Once there is a way to opt out, I'll re-add it. github.com/yaelwrites/B... 1/2

The wall isn't being built to keep them out. It's to keep us in: onemileatatime.com/news/united-...

A perfect example is the PowerSchool data breach. Hundreds of thousands of kids that won't know that SSNs were stolen until they go to buy their first car or open a bank account.

Interesting article about how judges increasingly require data breach victims to show exactly how they were harmed by a breach and specify the breach that caused harm. Seems like an unfair/unrealistic demand - stolen data gets sold/re-sold and direct knowledge of harm might not come until yrs later

TFW I have to use @textfiles.com OTHER site @archive.org to show someone this because the blog about fuck the cloud isn't accessible in the original cloud. web.archive.org/web/20170104...

I'm torn on wanting this to be defined as a criminal justice agency so this dude gets his penalty money but also not because this is how they play games. The irony is not lost.

1/ Hi, I'm TProphet. I write the Telecom Informer for @2600.com. A lot of people have been asking me about www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat... given that I'm somewhat knowledgeable in the area. Here's my take: I'm kind of astonished that this is public, and it isn't normal that it would ever be.

NEW: Jimmy Kimmel returned to late night with a monologue on American free speech, in defiance of pressure from President Trump, the head of the Federal Communications Commission, and local broadcast companies Sinclair and Nexstar (which is seeking to acquire 9NEWS/TEGNA)

Kimmel: "This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this."

Fuck. Off.

Y'all remember the Twitter files and the debate about private companies censoring due to government pressure. Glad we learned from that.

Don't forget that @fandueltv.bsky.social channels are owned by Sinclair. You know what to do. No money for their apps or services. It's a more effective way to fight back. The assholes only understand money. Don't give them any more money!

Breaking: CenturyLink users that had Q.com emails (from when it was Qwest) are being forcefully migrated from [email protected] to [email protected] with only 30 days notice. These are legacy users that have had and used this email for decades.

Today marks 30 years since the release of "Hackers"! What does this movie mean to you?

Declaring that a private business refusing to print a vigil poster for the President's friend is a civil rights violation is an interesting legal argument. Brings to mind Colorado cases Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission and 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis.

The Colorado Supreme Court on Monday affirmed a judicially created doctrine that lets public bodies “cure” violations of the Colorado Open Meetings Law at subsequent meetings that do not merely rubber-stamp earlier decisions.

"Instead of transparency, they got bureaucratic shrugs and misdirection. Homeland Security’s ICE staff on site couldn’t, or wouldn’t, answer even basic questions about detainee numbers, medical staffing, or access to phones, the cost of phone calls and legal counsel."

“Flock has the capacity to become a one-stop shop for local, state, and federal [officials] who want to upend civil liberties,” EFF’s @MGuariglia.bsky.social told @btnewsroom.bsky.social. breakthroughnews.org/flock-safet...

I got a tip and I'm following this guy's story. His daughter was found dead in a trap house last week. Several others have died in the same spot. El Paso county sheriff's office just picked up someone from the house with Felony warrants and drugs days after this happened but house still occupied.

Reminder: While we're debating whether Proton or Tutanota has better encryption, many people are still using Gmail with password123 and wondering how their bank account was drained. The weeds are fun to be in, but don't forget to look up once in a while 🌿

BREAKING: The Supreme Court — over the objection of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson — allows the Trump administration’s racial profiling of people working certain types of jobs in its immigration raids during litigation.

I've used APK Lab for journalistic investigations for a long time, it was especially useful for quickly finding what endpoints an app connected to, before I then went and AITM'd the traffic. Did this to find sketchy location data sharing. If anyone wants to provide access to a similar tool LMK

Cinemark just encouraged me to enable MFA to bypass being annoyed. More companies should do this or even offer a damn free drink or whatever, get your customers on MFA already.
