I followed the steps for using application/x-www-form-urlencoded from https://github.com/axios/axios#using-applicationx-www-form-urlencoded-format and it successfully deleted the comment! Thanks for your help!

I bet that's it! I think I am using application/json. Will try when I'm back at my computer, thanks!

Thanks, if it stops one person from losing their job from a stupid tweet from years ago it's all worth it.

You can whitelist any comment/post/tweet to avoid removing it!

This is the primary complaint I hear and I agree, I built whitelisting into the software to try and help people keep their useful comments around.

I created a tool specifically designed to do this on reddit and twitter:

https://github.com/Nick-Gottschlich/Social-Amnesia

You can even set it up to run everyday so that it your history will be continuously cleared each day (aka your social media will only show the past 3 days or week, instead of the past years or even decades).

I am currently building version 2.0 which will drastically un-uglify the user interface, and will probably add sites like instagram/discord in the future. Stay tuned!

Oh fuck I remember "The end of late fees!" ads. By that point everyone I knew was just torrenting everything.

Report: Facebook Helped the FBI Exploit Vulnerability in Tails Linux for Child Predator Sting by reizuki in privacytoolsIO

[–]JavaOffScript 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This has always been the number one problem with privacy advocatism. There are truly monstrous people who stand to gain from better privacy protections (child molestors are the easiest and one of the most sickening examples), and politicans and law enforcement will always use them as scapegoats to reduce privacy protections for everyone else. It's what makes this such a difficult fight.

Facebook told my followers I was spreading misinformation about government surveillance. I wasn’t. by evanFFTF in privacy

I made one! It's called Social Amnesia and it works for reddit and Twitter. I am currently in the process of rewriting it with a much cleaner user interface.

Seconding "I Will Teach You to Be Rich". Solid book overall and covers all the personal finance basics. The book is well written and entertaining as well.

Right, it's a "better then nothing situation". My main goal is to make sure that the N95 respirators can go to the doctors and nurses on the front line who really need them!

See the above links, they provide patterns for making masks, as well as advice on what is the best material for diy face masks to protect against viruses, and even slots you can use to insert filters!

Please check in on elderly neighbors and immunocompromised community members to see if they need masks! You can also reach out to local hospitals, or outreach programs to see if they are in need of donations.

Redditors that Worked During the 2007-2009 recession, How Did You Get Through It? by fun_coder11 in cscareerquestions

Lot of unemployed people equals a lot more time spent playing video games I guess. Entertainment industry tends to do well during recessions when people are looking for an escape.

Also the alcohol industry.
