• Original Pillar piece
• WP/MSN version (that linked to Pillar)
• WP follow-up where Grindr officially remained skeptical of the Pillar's data claims, presumably because they thought location data was struck or sufficiently anonymized
• Pillar's followup statement (direct image link), with no new information on what "obtained and authenticated a data set" entailed

Some Twitter replies express frustration in their being so cagey about something they claim is so easy. A few others condemn Pillar's privacy violations, but obviously those are built in to the software.

Still others question whether they contacted the right person in the RCC. I'm beginning to wonder myself whether they went more for bombast than concern. Did they show his superiors the data, or is this all a "trust me, bro" situation? We can't expect the mainstream media to care about the distinction, but this guy's organization would. I imagine they found a lot of other correlations. Was this just the first guy to resign?

I wish we had more information.

I'm already using that one for a long time, since webp generally sucks. But it only works if there's a choice between webp and jpg, if there is no choice, I'll get to see webp.

no time to go through all solutions, but this plugin from 12 months ago should do the trick at a perfect brute force way, but I dont know if a bad actor can use browser fingerprint to shove it in anyway.

This extension monitors and edits request headers using the onBeforeSendHeaders API

TRY THAT PLUGIN.

If it works, vile web sites like youtube should show blank white squares for video previews.

many http web development tools including free ones, can do ANYTHING with any data sent or received from firefox and have persistent scripts. "ModHeader" is one fun one.

I don't even have image.http.accept and network.http.accept.default in my about:config for FF90.

Shinobu and fubuki have the same voice? Noice

this is draining

Apple did, often since 2017, scan faces for 30,000 data points in 3d FOR EMOTION TRACKING in Animojis in 2017 and later, but now in 2021 they do it on home screen and measure pupil and study gaze direction.

Learn and read. Lots of links support all I just typed.

I would eat my hat if they ever delete them. What kind of spy agency throws away information? They may move it to a subsidiary, sure ... not throw it out!

In addition to keeping it out of sight, consider a decoy

For example, a broken safe (like a firesafe with a cracked wall or broken lock) or a heavy box that could pass for one, from a thrift store or craigslist. Make it look nice on the outside, put some low-value keepsakes, costume jewelry, or funny money, and non-sensitive copies or fakes of documents in there.

Stick it somewhere out of sight but not out of reach: under the bed, front corner of the closet, a dark shelf. Then if it's been tampered with, you know you have a problem, and it may satisfy them that it's your only hidden stash.

Button placement looks uncomfortable, though.

Yeah, they all have hardware level backdoors that governments can access. There’s really nothing doing here.

Wasn't the war lost nearly a decade ago, when all CPUs had hidden operating systems added to them that will grant them complete control over wireless networks?

Is there anything else we should look for when deciding on a safe?

Think about placement. Ideally your safe will be in it's final resting place, so to speak, once you've placed it. Out of sight. You'd think this would be obvious but I've had friends who have visible safes in their garage or office or whatever. Even without talking about it, someone may think, "I wonder whats in there?"

So, out of sight. Out of mind.

If you own your home, embedding the safe into the house itself isn't a bad idea. Is it in a closet? Build a it into the wall by building a shelf above it and making it impossible for the safe to now be removed. Not that they could with ease before, because it's mounted to the floor joist and wall studs. And now you just built a wall around it and put a normal cabinet door in front of it to make it all look like original closet storage, or something.

Honestly though, if you just need a safe that'll store paper, maybe some important documents and a small amount of jewelry it makes it so much easier to hide it in a place where it can be secured out of sight. If we're talking a big gun safe... There is a reason why a lot of people just have it mounted in their garage or living room. They're heavy as fuck, the size of a refrigerator or larger and there is the idea that, "That summabitch too heavy for anyone to steal" but it can still be broken into.

And a note about locking mechanisms: Combinations can (easily) be forgotten. Trust me on this, lol. You're convinced you'll remember it, don't need to write it down, etc. Then you have no need to open the safe for a year and are scratching your head when you need to get in. On the flip side, keys can be found and keys can be stolen or locks can be picked. Hand/finger print safes rely on a battery, which can last a long time but not last forever.

If you're storing things that would be absolutely devastating to lose, you've got a lot to think about. If it's some guns, documents like passport or birth certificate and maybe a few thousand dollars worth of valuables then really any mid-range fireproof safe that can be mounted/secured to a wall or floor joists and be hidden should probably do.

As long as it works, but god help you if stuff needs repairing.

It's an abandoned school, so electricity and water shouldn't be a problem. Internet might be, but this story is in Japan, they have good cellular internet.

If there was water, electricity and Internet, I'd also like to live somewhere like that.

Playing this game in full HD resolution is pretty neat, I have to say.

I wish I have a 3D printer. But even if I get one, I don't have the CAD skill to design things I want to print.

The two horoscope apps make sense. A smart scammer starts by picking a dumb mark.

I don't mind, was just wondering if I was missing something here.

I guess not, just found it on an anime news site and said I'll just post it

I mean, to be fair, they have undercover people in any large demonstration, group, rally, etc.

They were in CHAZ/CHOP, in Minneapolis, in Kenosha. They're in the smaller rallies and groups lead by people who are trying to start a movement. They're in militias, big and small. They're certainly going to be in normal large gatherings requiring high security as well, like a political rally. (Especially if any chatter online may indicate to something else being planned)

lego set lmao

What's crazy is that notebook has written, "Bring Assault Rifle" down. Like, any gun enthusiast would either cringe at the use or laugh if asked about 'Assault Rifles'. That's a media blanket term for all things scary looking. "Step to Step to creating Houston Militia"? Really? (Besides step 1 is coming up with a cool name and Punisher rip-off logo and have the local screen printer make a dozen or show XXL shirts.) This entire thing reads like it's fake but some really stupid people really do exist, too.

And if this is real, then it's likely staged. This is the "passport of a hijacker" level of coincidence in regards to how absurd it is if actually real.

N.B. I kept reposting this because I kept getting messages "500 Internal Server Error" and "Invalid CSRF token". Some but not all actually did post. There's something a bit hinky here.

It does the same thing if you post a link to my Invidious install and some other random sites. It's a Postmill thing, and from reading the error logs last time it happened it hinted towards some issue with Ramble / Postmill not being able to fetch a thumbnail from the source. It's been a minute so I'm not sure if the issue originates here or the linked site(s).

If a reviewer gets a special copy of the software from the company, is it really the same as what anybody else gets? I don't know video games, but I'd expect any sane publisher respecting internet commerce ethics to turn off the throttling on the update speed, go light on the surveillance uploads, steer them away from the worst multiplayer idiots on the server, even shut off the Bitcoin mining subroutine! I bet reviewers see games like nobody's ever seen but them, and can't imagine the world isn't happy with the software. Am I wrong?
