  • Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan

  • None of this is what I am discussing. I'm talking about the people in the thread who are saying that these people deserved this.

  • Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chan

    Jump

  • I don't quite understand the outrage in the thread. I've been looking through the comments, trying to see if this ever went beyond gossip and I can't find anything.

    From my understanding the app was intended to be a safe space for women to discuss dating. Relaying information about dangerous individuals, or people who cheat. I can imagine that things might have gotten slightly out of hand in regards to anonymous gossip, but is that anything compared to being doxxed? Besides, women, and men have been gossiping behind each others backs for as long as humans have existed. An anonymous app makes it significantly worse certainly, but it is what it is. This behavior is always going to exist for better or for worse. For example, people already discuss this on sites like fetlife since the risk of ending up with someone who wants to batter you for the sake of battering you is somewhat high there.

    Surely we can have some sympathy for people who have had their identifications doxxed by 4chan who haven't done anything worse than a bit of toxic gossip at most?

  • I am in constant awe of how these people are incapable of pointing the finger towards the issue here.

    I am aware that maga is a cult, but we have reached the point where Trump and the Republicans are openly, brazenly committing acts that their own supporters disagree with. How much more obvious does the situation need to become before people start placing the blame where it belongs?

  • a lot of Asia is aware they need immigration to succeed,

    While this is true, it doesn't necessarily mean they're open to it or that the immigration process is any easier for it.

    as for Europe Spain is he most friendly to immigrants

    I've heard that attitude is changing due to gentrification issues. Lots of remote workers have taken to the country and cost of living has apparently risen up in response.

    I'm not entirely sure about either of these personally though(insight from people who live there would be wonderful), but I have heard about about the issues.

  • I used to be the pride of my family for having finished college. Now it's demonized by them.

    I feel for the students of today. College was an important time for me. I experienced a lot of new ideas, my mind was opened. I didn't get to do much in grad school, but my first four years of college changed me and I wouldn't be the same without those experiences. The way the situation is escalating we may see colleges completely locked down or even abolished.

  • Judges Are Fed up With Lawyers Using AI That Hallucinate Court Cases

    Jump

  • All you do is a quick search on the case to see if it’s real or not.

    You could easily. We have resources such as LexusNexus or Westlaw which your firm should be paying for. Even searching on Google Scholar should be enough to verify. Stay away from Casetext though, it's new and mostly AI. LN and WL also have AI integration but it's not forced, you're still capable of doing your own research.

    I've been telling people this for a while, but everyone needs to treat AI like how we used to treat the wiki. It's a good secondary source that can be used to find other more reliable sources, but it should never be used as your single standalone source.

    I'm not going to sugarcoat it, AI is being forced everywhere you look and it is getting a bit difficult to get away from it, but it hasn't taken over everything to the point where there is no longer any personal responsibility. People need to have some common sense and double check everything as they've been taught to do even before AI.

  • 'Should be terrifying to everyone': Prosecutor fired by Trump delivers blunt warning

    Jump

  • Like I said elsewhere, everyone is really just waiting for him to come after the federal judges who have been holding back his EOs. The DOJ is currently being torn apart, but he'll get there eventually.

  • Trump Tells Supreme Court It Gave Him 'Unrestricted Power' to Fire People

  • It'll take time before the damage starts to really, really be felt.

    Federal judges across the country have issued injunctions on everything he's been writing up at this point. We're all just waiting for what is left of our legal process to finish, if it's allowed to do so given the current state of things. These judges will hopefully drag their feet on any ruling. If the appeals court does the same then you've got a while before the scotus can do Trump's bidding.

    Inevitably when the process either finishes or Trump bullies these people out of their posts it'll take about a month or two. When social services get cut so that people aren't getting their social security, can't access or afford medications and whatever else he's cooked up they'll cry. They probably won't point the finger in the right place though.

  • Democrats slam Trump for not making good on promise to ‘immediately’ lower food prices

    Jump

  • For some reason the Republicans voters I know seem to think that their party is going to pass all the regulatory legislation that that Democrats were suggesting.

    I just don't understand them. How did they get this brainwashed? It's not just frustrating. It's depressing.

  • He's the richest man in the world who has untold influence over the most powerful office in the world. It's hard to ignore him at this point sadly. Ignoring the problem isn't going to make it go away.

  • Gotta second this. Especially if the growth is sudden. It's very difficult to integrate newer users into the existing culture.

    There are merits to being a smaller community.

  • We tried. They ignore the vast majority of feedback given to them.

    The Mastodon user experience really needed to be simplified greatly to attract Twitter users, because what's a platform without other users on it to connect to? At this point I feel as if they may have blown their chance.

    Cyber-Security Experts Warn Election Was Hacked

  • The more people you hire the more people have access to the votes for possible physical tampering.

    At the end of the day there is no solution that will make all of our elections fraud-proof. Just audit every election from now on. Yes, it's a bit embarrassing that it's necessary, but sadly this is the world we live in now.

  • Remember if you're going to any protests. Don't bring your phone and wear a mask. Use a map if you're not familiar with the area, write any important numbers you might need to call from a cell on your arm. Let friends know where you're going and don't go alone if you can.

  • Seeing Walz as her VP pick was such a win and then everything started slipping away. If you listened to her speeches you'd start to notice she was slowly leaning more conservative, slowly backpedaling on a lot of Biden admin policies even. And for some reason she was absolutely obsessed with going on right wing media outlets.

    I genuinely think she's rather well spoken but what a waste of potential.
