I’m disabled and can’t work, so I troll scammers with my VMs and VOIP.

If everyone’s storage is encrypted with a different key it will be significantly harder to steal shit.

But it seems this post was about phishing scams.

yet another reason why it should be mandatory for all cloud storage services to be E2EE

I agree with that, force microsoft to make windows open source.

Shitty security practices, and a lack of good security software is to blame for that

They are if they have shitty security practices and never set up good security software

Maybe, but only if windows users continue to not learn how to use their PCs

Just because you know what the buttons do doesn’t mean you know how to use it.

why do they have to hand it over to whatsapp? Why not hand it over to some cybersecurity researchers instead and then order them to hand over some virus database information to every antivirus company that operates in the US?

Trillions, if you count all the taxpayer money that corpos get for free

Here in the US it’s the employees that get stolen from the most.

Who the fuck would ever connect their fucking toothbrush to the internet?

That’s almost as stupid as connecting your laundry machines to the internet, or your thermostat, or any other appliance in your house

Everything is hackable,

and digital ID won’t make it any better

digital IDs are still hackable, even if you have total control over your own, it’s still hackable and it gets tracked everywhere you have to show it.

I don’t know who’s paying you and all the others to say that shit, but digital IDs aren’t about keeping anything safe, it’s about controlling the population and locking them out of society when they misbehave. If you make any political statement that rocks the boat you don’t exist anymore. If you become a whistleblower, you don’t have any freedom anymore. If you do anything at all that the oligarchs don’t want you to do, you’re not a person anymore.

Digital IDs are still horrible.

Neither! They’re both a bad idea.

remind me again how digital IDs are going to make us safer when every company with people’s personal details is constantly getting hacked?

Crypto by its nature is somewhat murky and we’ve never really known who hold what or how many whale institutional investors have been pumping and dumping coins to circumvent troubling anti money laundering KYC regs etc

Many crypto currencies that no one has ever heard of are worthless and will always be worthless, but bitcoin, manero and dogecoin are worth something. bitcoin and manero are worth A LOT, dogecoin is worth almost nothing, but its value goes up and down really fast and really drastically every time it changes.

Also it’s a good thing that no one can track who has what amounts of which crypto currency, don’t you think? That way the banks can’t monitor or control it.

crypto currency is good. I’m talking about central-bank-digital-currency being bad.

The dictatorship of Australia just went cashless and their systems for managing it have failed to work the way they’re supposed to multiple times now.
