    You are definitely the special kind of stupid.

  2. Re:Gmail is used to spam others though on Gmail is Now Blocking 100 Million Extra Spam Messages Every Day With AI (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Talk to the people who run email servers, especially those hosted email services. They hate gmail. And not because it's competition, but because of the pain of having to work with gmail.

  3. Gmail is used to spam others though on Gmail is Now Blocking 100 Million Extra Spam Messages Every Day With AI (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Isn't the biggest issue with Gmail not whether their users get spammed, but the fact that gmail is used to spam others? It's like they refuse to scan their outbound emails for spam, despite knowing that spammers use their service.

    Also, they push everyone to use SPF/DKIM/DMARC, yet gmail itself doesn't use it, making it easier for spammers to send crap as gmail.

    That's kind of fucked up.

    Oh, you mean instead of following the letter of the contract you signed, you do something that violates that contract, and when you are caught, and the other party terminates their part of the contract, it is their fault?

    You are a special kind of stupid, aren't you?

    Another thing that would have prevented you from succeeding as a female in the open source community is you being a straight white male.

    Aren't most people who are successful in open source straight white males? Where are you getting your data from?

    you know this has been discussed on slashdot quite a few times, right?

  7. Why do you hate Apple and Macs so much? Did someone used a Mac to touch you inappropriately when you were young?

    Go on. Show us on a stick figure where the bad touch happened.

  8. You are the one claiming Apple locked up people buying refurbished batteries and he's the crazy one?

    Also, only the home button, if you replace it, it will turn into a home button without fingerprint read ability. Apparently you don't live in this reality?

    Apparently Android users feel that being abused is the right thing to do, so why worry, be happy.

    No. You can remove your phone number as a 2FA after you've added physical tokens.

    So it's bullshit.

    To use a hardware token as 2FA on FaceBook, Twitter, DropBox and so on, YOU FIRST HAVE TO ENABLE 2FA VIA SMS.

    AFTER THEY HAVE FUCKING COLLECTED YOUR PHONE NUMBER, THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL HARDWARE TOKEN 2FA BE AVAILABLE AS AN OPTION.

    WHAT THE FUCK?

    Are you saying there can't be ads without snooping?

    HAHAHAHAHAHA.

  13. It already says "Officials are looking to give consumers more control but also limit state efforts."

    This is basically an attempt to block the states from implementing strong privacy laws.

  14. That has nothing to do with the government copying and monitoring all your traffic. *peeks over at that yellow room door*

  15. And the best part is, the new SCOTUS nominee is for private censorship and against net neutrality. Yay.

  16. They are roaming. This means, the data goes from the phone, to the cellular network, and then to the Internet from the cellular network.

    If you are on Verizon and roaming in China, your phone number is still your USA phone number, your IP is a USA based IP address, and your traffic goes from your phone, to Verizon, and then to facebook or google or whatever.

    If you are from China, on China Mobile, the same fucking thing applies. You are roaming. You maintain your phone number from China. Your network traffic goes from your phone, over to China Mobile's network, and exits that network. From there, you can go to Facebook or whatever - unless it's blocked by the Great Firewall of China.

    This is how fucking roaming works. WTF, people?!

    How the fuck is this even an issue or discussion?!?!

    Not when your idiot coders have things like "is jdk == version 8.123.456" in the code.

    No one apparently knows how to do something like "is jdk >= version 8"

    Someone just built one for FaceBook, on FireFox.

  20. They don't send you an email. They send you a link to the email. That's how they control it. All you have is a link.

    Which is still stupid, but.

    I think you missed the part where they go "yup, you are patched" without actually providing the patches.

  22. You like to comment on what you have no idea what you are talking about? The shadow profile is based off real data like your phone number and your name and even your purchasing habits.

  23. They have traced the "fat is bad" back to two Harvard researchers who were paid off to write that shit. You can continue eating whatever you want to.

  24. Yet another person who doesn't understand anecdote is not data. What you are doing on your own is one thing.

    What is clearly done by the industry to push sugary food down to the masses is very clear. And most people are not well versed in food nutrition.

  25. You obviously haven't been following nutrition science then. Even the new FDA "food pyramid" now replaces fat with sugar as the bad actor contributing to heart disease and obesity.
