Gentlemen, this is Democracy Manifest.

Hey! Get your hand off my cloaca!

9. Spent day working and cooking.

As an enlightened Mint user…

OK, I’m about 10 minutes in to this, and it’s amazing work. Totally worth $3. Thanks for the recommendation!

I’ll second an old or cheap burner phone for WhatsApp use. This job sounds like a great way to have your data leaked or stolen. Put a buffer there now.

You mean commercial LLMs.

AI as a term includes machine learning systems that go back decades.

When I asked a similar question about old forum websites a while back, someone mentioned the Somethingaweful forum as still being active.

There’s probably a ton of NSFW sites with forums that are barely active.

I was cured! 10/10, would whatever this is again.

Are y’all going to ignore the most obvious one?

Runner Up - Santa Claus, AZ. Totally NOT the North Pole

Fun fact: A zip code, gender, and a DOB is enough to have an 85% chance of it being you. It’s a very well-studied area. You are de-anonymized with very little data exposed, all of which Google includes in ad auctions.

Your data is exfiltrated and sold for ads. You don’t even need to buy an ad, bidders on ads can see your data

Yeah, it depends person to person.

Y’all do realize that Gmail has been reading your emails and attachments from the start, right?

Someone please explain why doing that for ads isn’t terrible, but how this crosses the line?

The reasons not to trust Google are as old and numerous as the trees.

I think you only need an account to search for an SSID. I’ve never logged in to search the map, I just close the pop up.

What a great point you make: know your threat model, know your environment, act accordingly.

The _nomap suffix prevents Apple devices from automatically mapping a WiFi connection.

Did ya even read the article?

Apple and Google are to blame. Don’t blame the unaware for the sins of the unethical.

Plus, don’t blame me, I hide my SSID and it ends in the magic _nomap that prevents this stupid shit. So wardriving is not exactly a major problem for the informed.

Well, that’s certainly dystopian.
