Nobody cares when I substantiate poignant points, so I offer them the same courtesy.

That was an eye-opener. Thanks for sharing.

In what nation was DoubleVPN registered? If it’s a business from any of the Nine Eyes nations, they were required by law to have all data recorded from all use by all customers, forever.

It looks that way. We'll just have to see if any court cases cite evidence from this raid. The Pure VPN logging scandal was revealed when a court case cited how the FBI tracked down the defendant.

maybe logs are just a bluff from EuroPol to freak people out.

It depends on the claim. For example, if it's something that reinforces my beliefs, an information that I'm inclined to believe, that maybe I want to believe in, I have to follow up on the source, if I didn't do this I would end up living in a bubble like anyone who gets his news from Facebook. As you write, sometimes the source actually states the opposite of the claim, something like that happened on this website before.

What gets me mad is when I find out, by researching the topic afterwards, that someone I know IRL has told me some bullshit without showing to have any doubt regarding his statements. While after having a discussion I often look up if I was actually wrong, and if I was I usually let the other party know. Don't see what's the point of debating otherwise.

Doesn't sound like they actually took much then. If DoubleVPN accepted anonymous payment methods, the personal information they have is probably fake. The logs are a bit concerning, but from the wording it doesn't sound like IP were logged, if it's only usage statistics, there's not really anything EuroPol can do with it, except for maybe track the people who happens to be connected at the time of the server seizure.

I think marketeers job is to sell shitty products. Don't remember ever seeing an ad for an actual good product.

They use "media savvy" and "sophisticated" to cover their seething hatred of viewers avoiding what they call "the interruptive advertising format." They then describe unobtrusive ad copy as a "disruptive" method of marketing: evoking "an enchanted state" where "customers create or string their own stories together" instead of being cajoled, shamed, insulted, denigrated, or simply condemned for their appearance and beliefs.

This is peak marketeer cope. I wonder then they'll discover improving products to improve customer confidence, but then that wouldn't really be marketing.

Is the joke that this entire website is blocked by my ad blocker, since it’s literally spam? The joke being that everyone has adblockers and doesn’t even see ads in the first place, that is.

And being a singer will get you to all the wrong people. I truly pity her.

Probably just seeking some attention to maintain her popularity. Now anyone who didn't like her or don't care will be called non-binary-phobic.

Considering that her mom killed herself, she was bound to suffer from it mentally

Living her childhood in the west made things even worse

It's a mental illness. I pity her.
(Do not encourage others mental illness by indulging them.)

He's only going to be in jail until the Left needs an on-demand riot, probably to draw attention away from another scheme.

It's a welcomed development, real or fake

During the late PS2 to the PS3 era the translations were getting better (compared to PS1 generation) and stayed closed to the original version. It's only during the mid-PS4 generation when the SJWs started to infect the gaming industry and demanding these changes.

That's pretty harsh for acting according to procedure. Guess there really is no such thing as justice. The dude that shot John Lennon is also still in prison, because there is no such thing as justice.

And straight to Protective Custody where for 23 hours a day he'll be locked up and then get an hour to spend in a rec cage doing chin-ups or shooting hoops alone.

I hope he's an introvert.

You can only make use of this if you already have the data. At that point it matters little whether they have to brute force the password based on every possibility or based on a huge list. The password is going to get cracked.

How does a 200GB password list come in handy when trying to guess the password of some online account that locks you out after three failed attempts? It doesn't.

The list is what, 200GB? All they offer is an "add-yours-to-the-list", no download in sight.

You don't have to "add" it. You can probably download the list and check it offline.

didn’t pay taxes then ran to spain i believe

From what I saw on this article, he did tax evasion. That's all, maybe.

Why was he in jail anyway?
