A passcode might have prevented the entire thing

from here

Do you think anyone who happens to pick up your phone should be able to use it? To text as you? To make purchases as you? Well then maybe you can learn from Liam Neeson's character and put a damn passcode on your phone, or maybe enable the biometric lock feature if there is one.

(And hopefully my Imgur account doesn't get banned for 'spoiling' a 4 year old film)

Imagine how many rads HE gets

You weren't really expecting people who found their jobs through pizza boxes to recognize they share an interest in safety with you, were you? They're too busy exercising their authority for that.

Apparently there are some folks who not only need to exercise their bodies, but their operational security skills as well.

Why ban when you can tax?

There are a variety of ways that countries can try to control crypto-currencies. Banning is sure to be one of the least effective.

Not even YouTube is safe anymore

from here

I made this meme thinking that YouTube serving malicious ads qualified as a watershed moment. The idea of safe sites has been questionable for a long time, but the examples of legit sites violating the concept of safe sites by serving malicious content have always seemed (no matter how mainstream) to be sites that many people could reasonably ignore as not really important because they don't visit them. YouTube bucks that trend because virtually everyone who uses the Net has been to YouTube.

The thing is, this turns out to not be the first time YouTube has served malicious ads - it happened before in 2014 and I just didn't remember.

Maybe just don't share the passcode instead

You might think not sharing the passcode could create problems, but those problems were already there and trying to maintain some semblance of privacy simply brought them to the surface.

Just a little before starting

I never actually installed those updates. I figured the chances of me being among the first to be targeted using exploits for those vulnerabilities would be really low, and that the code that would need to run in order to launch the exploits stood a good chance of being stopped by one of my whitelisting layers, so there was time to wait and see what the fallout from those far-reaching patches would be.

Just say no to 'RapeCoins'

from here

There's something deeply disturbing about the idea of recording sexual consent on the blockchain. On the surface it seems to combat the 'problem' of people changing their minds after the fact, but have the designers never once stopped to consider those might actually be cases of people changing their minds during? The capability for consent to change and be fluid like that seems to get forgotten a little too easily.

You know what else gets forgotten? Coercion. If someone is willing to coerce another into submitting to a sexual act, is it really that big of a stretch to imagine they'd also be willing to coerce the other into recording their so-called consent?

About the only thing this scheme could actually combat is instances of sexual misconduct where the victim isn't capable of giving consent because they're unconscious or otherwise incapacitated, and that's only if you ignore the possibility of the attacker cracking the device on which the victim's app resides.

There have been a lot of bad ideas for ways to use the blockchain but this one is one of the worst I've ever heard of and the fact that the idea has gotten as far as it has is equally disturbing because it means there are that many people who don't understand consent or coercion.
