Probably because consumers have made them billionaires.

Look how smug and happy he is! Anyone wanna tell him?

That’s fine, but they did what they said and if you want to turn off your credit line because dishonest fuckfaces are stealing from you, you don’t have a lot of choices. I offered up what I did as an anecdote of how I accomplished it.

If you want to freeze your credit with the three major agencies, I called Experian first and they said they were sending the request to the other two agencies. I did this for another reason earlier in the year. Your mileage may vary now as I hear they’re getting crushed with requests.

Get ready to answer a grip of extremely specific questions to prove who you are.

Yeah, correct.

I just set it up as well. Nothing groundbreaking, but clean interface. Haven’t used the btc via email function yet.

My only concern would be if there was some sort of breach that affected my proton credentials (yes, I realize the odds are low), then that would also give access to my wallet (and passwords, but not using that).

This might be good for a hot spending wallet, but not sticking anything substantial in there.

Combination of Sportsfire and Streamfire apps.

That’s great news. But they’ll eventually sneak it in when they’ve distracted us with something else astonishingly awful.

Question, mostly out of an inability to completely understand the tech side of this, but how would this be possible with Messenger services that have no central servers or direct point to implement something like this? Say, Session IM or SimpleX.

Back then: The prices of shit and ease of procurement. Nowadays, I’ll buy reasonably priced software because I’m not a broke dick and like to have support if needed. Though, understandably, there’s still a lot of bullshit software that’s way too expensive. But I lean towards foss software when I can get away with it.

But for streaming/cable/satellite? I’d rather wipe my ass with that money. I’ll go to the theater if a movie looks good enough, just to change things up, but with so much awful shit being produced… nope.

I pay for music streaming on Deezer, but also have a carefully curated media library and run Nicotine 24/7 to share on slsk.

I guess it’s a toss up between money and principle. 🤷‍♂️

That seems to be written by a child.

I’ve tried to give them my money. Max, Hulu, Netflix… and none of them want it unless they can get my telemetry. American in Europe, so I can’t use US services. Netflix and Prime will only show me the Euro selection. Don’t want that. Use a VPN, you say? All those services block IPVanish and Proton. They want my data not my money. It would be optimal if I paid them to give them my data, but if I can’t give them clean telemetry, they don’t want my money. This tells me they should be paying me for that info. And that’s not going to happen.

So, I tried. I honestly did.

Enter Stremio-Torrentio-Debrid and I can now watch every single thing I can think of. For the pittance I give Debrid, it’s been a game changer. I don’t expect it to last forever, but aligning with you fellow seafaring folks will keep me at the forefront of the game. 🤘🏼🏴‍☠️

I setup a Wordpress blog a while back because I could get easy CE credits for writing about cybersecurity. I used AI to write the articles. The snake eats it’s own tail. :)

If it’s free, you’re the product. None of these new revelations is the least bit surprising. It’s a data mining gold rush right now.
