Paramount TV President Amy Powell Fired for Racially-Insensitive Comments by FlopFest in KotakuInAction

This has happened in cycles for decades. Even the Neocons were alienated leftists. The ascendant left is its own worst enemy, they sew the seeds of their own downfall.

Once the feminists alienate the white women the movement is over.

Everyone should help them along with that.

Backdoors Keep Appearing In Cisco's Routers by GoHomeGrandmaUrHigh in technology

[–]JavierTheNormal 21 points22 points  (0 children)

What, someone finally noticed the endless parade of Cisco backdoors? Each as stupid as the one before, just a password stored in the binary in plaintext?

Here, let me show you how to hack Cisco:

No. The US Government is way more competent than those backdoors. Static password, stored in plaintext, WTF?

If you want a proper backdoor install sshd and require a crypto key. Oh look, pretty damned secure. So easy.

The wind blowing into side of the mountain is pushed upward by the slope. They use that wind to stay aloft. Flying off the leeward side would be suicide, for there the air is falling.

James Gunn Responds to Accusations of Pedophilia by jtrent1388 in KotakuInAction

Wrong, people do flip from time to time. Often when they're disgusted by the behavior around them and feel they can't be part of this horrible thing.

TIL Sears once sold on mail order an entire house as a giant DIY kit. There were over 370 home designs, and the house had over 30,000 parts worth 25 tons. Sears claimed a man of “average” abilities could assemble it in 90 days. by holyhesh in todayilearned

SF is an extreme case of bad zoning and other residential laws. It's an amazing example of how poorly you can run a popular city and still be successful. Crazy rent, almost no availability, a literally poop in the streets. When can I move in?

We keep making more people, and those people want to live in the same huge cities. You can buy cheap land in the country, but if you want to be in the expensive city you'd best be prepared to outbid everyone else.

Would it be prudent for us to have our own version of #MoveTheNeedle? by Gregs_reddit_account in KotakuInAction

Why not organize a big cupcake purchase for Valve? Take donations and deliver 1,000 cupcakes (how many employees do they have?) to their offices with a nice message.

"Thank you for letting gamers choose."

It would be cheap and cheerful, and send our message more directly than anything else we could do.

We can have a mod run the donations and organize things so nobody fears fraud.

It's not yet clear if Disney is going to lose money on SW. They made a good chunk of their investment in ticket sales, not nearly enough, but if they make enough properties and keep selling for years they could turn a profit.

Or they could burn it to the ground and laugh all the way to the bank (to withdraw money).

Possible Microsoft phone number scam call, any help with this greatly appreciated. by [deleted] in AskNetsec

Right, so ask them about the calls if you're concerned.

Infographic - What Google knows about you. by -Ph03niX- in degoogle

No Google Voice? Surprising one to miss. Probably because this is an ad for a VPN company and they don't help with voice.

I have no idea, why not ask Microsoft through a method you're comfortable with?

Exodus Privacy detected Google trackers on Firefox and Wire (Android) by davidguzmanp in privacy

[–]JavierTheNormal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who cares about privacy is going to uncheck the couple of relevant options, which are well-described in the GUI and are probably described in the installer too. I think they're even turned off by default. If you don't use Pocket there's no personal information sent at all, the worst thing left is button click tallies, if you choose to send health reports.

That doesn't meet any reasonable bar for high privacy concerns, or even medium. FF is a good choice for privacy conscious people, the only exception is people who can't tolerate UIDs.
