Edit: bloody hell, I hadn’t looked into Brave that deeply yet, fuck Brendan Eich and fuck Peter Thiel.

Jesus. A day without bad news from Mozilla would be nice. I am beginning to feel a distinct need to switch browsers. and Brave is currently looking like the best balance between compatibility and privacy. I’ve only been resistant to Brave because it’s based on Chromium and I want to support non-Chrome browser engines, but the Firefox forks I’ve tried like Waterfox and Pale Moon just aren’t there yet in terms of usability for me (primarily, wide protocol support for web video playback).

Anyone got any better suggestions, by any chance?

Hey hey, you’re an honorary American now! Your flag and genocide kit are in the mail (don’t worry, we’re pretty sure we got the right address from that darkweb database).

But for real there’s not much you can do but keep an eye on it. If Europe has similar credit agencies to the ones in the US, then freeze your credit and keep it frozen until you need to apply for more (new card, car, house, etc).

Use a password manager so if an account gets compromised they can’t get into anything else.

And, as advised, watch for unusual activity (but forever, not just a few months, that’s just a false sense of security).

This should keep you largely safe. My data has been leaked in dozens of breaches, but I do the above, and while I’ve had two instances of card fraud, I don’t see hard enquiries into my credit that I didn’t make even after 6+ years.

“Free Taco Bell” is the name of the GoFundMe for your legal defense because you got arrested for protesting the war after class

Follow it up with

Thanks, Taco Bell

And lean into Taco Bell being your new nickname. Easy.

My Gul isn’t very friendly at all, he keeps trying to genocide pastoral societies, is he broken?

Meanwhile the cat will kick the thuckerin’ thuccotash outta anyone who looks at him cockeyed.

Not really, since it’s now public knowledge that the entirety of Trump-positive media is bankrolled by the Kremlin.

One is a Russian asset intent on destroying America from within; the other is Kamala Harris. Your eyes must be getting real bad to not see that.

There are alarm clocks that have a lamp built in, and instead of a loud alarm they play things like birdsong and rushing water at increasing volumes while brightening up the lamp to simulate dawn. I much prefer that to a nuclear launch siren, when I have to use an alarm. I don’t like to post shopping links because I’m not an ad machine, but if you search around for “gentle wakeup alarm light” you’ll definitely find some.

My face is midway between 😱 and ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ right now. That sounds difficult. Have you found anything that helps? Do you just sleep like crap every night?

I mean, it’s no Horse Outside, but I’ll always upvote Rubberbandits 😂

That’s crazy! At my job, I just help our users. I don’t have to build (and then maintain) infrastructure with them.

I regularly fix my bashrc file with Notepad. I run it in Wine because I cbf to RealVNC from my Windows CE media server.

(n.b: None of this is real, I wrote it to upset people, I’m sorry)

Sometimes, a shitpost is so shit but also so very post that I get trapped in a whirlpool of knowing it should be upvoted, but not wanting to. Congratulations?

I’m out of the loop, what movie or show is Elon in where he’s playing an African?

maybe if they added flame traps

I think you might be thinking of Orcs Must Die! instead of basketball.

Oh boy. If you think this is bad, you should try waiting a few weeks or months after you’re signed up this time, then sign up for a new account using your current details, just with a different email. Spoiler: if you can answer the security questions, you’re home free.

And remember that between the Equifax leak and more recent hacks, at this point, every sensitive detail for every member of the economy is now in the hands of bad actors. If they want your shit, or into it, they’ll social engineer it.

Should passwords have maximum character counts? Sure, to prevent overflow attacks (or whatever) by pasting five different analyses of the movie Primer as your password. It should be longer than 20 in any case. But are there other, way worse security issues? Yes.
