Amused that the 'This is private! You no hack!' banner nonsense isn't a dead thing yet.
Life protip: the bots scanning your shit will absolutely not care, and shockingly, criminals will also absolutely not care.
Oh look, a patent troll.
At least they're going after two of the most valuable companies on the planet, and not shitting on a bunch of little startups, I guess.
You'd think the mods would want to remove shit like that because what in the fuck, but I guess not?
Good. He's unquestionably responsible, and deserves to rot.
I'd ask what kind of fucking idiot buys their kid a gun AFTER the FBI shows up to investigate them threatening to shoot their school up and then leaves it unlocked where the kid can access it, but well, we already know the answer there.
It is, but he's also known for not using social media at all which I'm sure makes him the right person to have an opinion we should listen to.
Probably not.
Republican's new motto: When the least you can do is too much, just accept it's a fact of life.
That's a pretty great Fairphone ad, ngl.
And yeah, you shouldn't be buying phones that are going to end up software-obsolete in 2 years. Manufacturers, you should really aim for at least 5, but more is better. You can do it!
And if you can't, then maybe your business isn't sustainable and you should consider something else, like running a lemonade stand or a kissing booth.
Ah yes, those crazy random psychos who go busting through the doors to kill kids.
Wait, sorry, I've just been informed the "psychos" in question are the children that go to the schools that are being shot up. Welp. Certainly can't do anything about that, sorry, thoughts and prayers!
I'm of the opinion that if you can charge all sorts of accomplices with murder for doing FAR LESS than buying the guy who did the murder a gun, those parents should be arrested, tried for murder for each dead kid and teacher, then locked the fuck up until everyone forgets they exist and/or they die in prison.
Honestly I get the feeling the problem they're having right now isn't that it was hard to report things to the moderators to action, but rather that telegram is a haven for people who were absolutely there to do unsavory things and were unlikely to report each other.
Perhaps I've misunderstood?
For those that didn't read, it's just that the use of Bitcoin ATMs in your typical 'oh no! pay us or we have to call the FBI and have your social security number cancelled!' scams has increased. I wouldn't say this is a "new form of fraud", since that scam is as old as well, uh, the internet at least.
Though, I'm honestly not surprised by this, since explaining to grandma how to use what looks like something she's familiar is probably simpler than explaining how to use Coinbase. Oh, and Coinbase has actual safeguards to try to catch people falling for scams which I'm sure the guy who owns the coiner ATM doesnt.
I'd love to know what the death percentage needs to be for it to go from 'fake news' to actual problem.
I'd say there's probably NO amount of deaths that could possibly cause that for those people.
