greetings and salutations, or how you weirdos on the other continent say that

Ill wait on my job status and ill consider dropping 30$ on the patreon monthly. Roughly a days wages so hopefull ive earned a higher wage.

oh sheeiiiit https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/gykgv9/securus-phone-tracking-company-hacked

feel like that should have been waaaaaaay bigger news

Not sure if anyones aware but Ashton Whitty had her twitter deleted.

No explanation from twitter as of now.

Suspected to have been hacked.

Wow.

people complain about facebook while totally ignoring that their cellphone providers do the same exact shit, or perhaps worse because this is like an active tracer on your person

Thats why I don't have one. I'm kind of glad FB is getting it in the news coz I've been saying this shit for years now and I'm laughed at. Oh well they'll forget soon and we'll be back to normal.

it always needs to start somewhere

somewhere it hurts

than the pattern recognition can kick in later

civilisations move slow as hell

@Poppy Rider you don't have a cellphone?

or a facebook

@GingaBomber You've got to consider what it's worth to you. I basically decided I could give 20 bucks (2 and some odd hours) because I get more than that time's worth out of his content while I'm actually AT work. I usually have a delivery around 3:00pm ish, and just throw his video on while I'm driving around for my job.

If $30 is a full day's work, that might not be the best tier to commit to.

I'm giving less than 1% of what I make, for instance. It's trivial for me, but combined with everyone else who pitches in, means a lot for Tim.

@Grenade123 I have a FB that I use for about 5 minutes a week, if that. I have a cell with that is about 8 years old, no numbers in it and is only turned on once in the morning every other day, if that. I don't take it outside with me.

I havent used facebook since highschool. I'm graduating college this year

i don't even use facebook and haven't in like 3-4 years. Although for work i kinda need a cellphone on me 24/7 so must be nice to not need to

Guess Ill work hard and get that raise first, thats 1 days wage on my probation

I think it's one or the other. I need to talk to some ppl and they don't want to have to open up an email just to say hi. It is nice not having a phone. Ppl knowing that if I don't answer them right away it's not coz something has happened to me. And I have a good excuse for not getting in contact with ppl when I can't be arsed. ; p

but see, i still do that anyway and people just know by. Hell, my sister doesn't bother texting or messaging me. She texts my gf instead lmao.

been there.

anyone know about any data collection scandal involving the onePlus company that makes cellphones?

https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2018/05/17/zal-de-oneplus-6-ooit-potten-breken-/

this mentiones there is a scandal like that, but its the first i heard about it

and i have a onePlus

I didnt use facebook from 2012 until the end of the 2017 election

the meltdown was too good to ignore

I have a Facebook account, but it's only to keep tabs on relatives.

appearently onePlus said they only collect data to improve its user experience

regardless, there is an option in the advanced settings where you can turn the user experience program off

there is still the question of wether or not that actually does anything though

i would need someone more tech savy to check

I am just going to put this here. Tim, I heard you were going some research on gamergate and thought you might like what one of the current iterations is. This happened last week in the gamer universe. http://monsterhunternation.com/2018/05/15/statement-concerning-my-being-disinvited-as-the-guest-of-honor-for-origins-game-fair in addition there’s lots of other brilliant blog work about this, from http://www.declanfinn.com/2018/05/correia-was-ringoed.html to https://madgeniusclub.com/2018/05/15/it-is-time-to-fight-back/

If every sub gave me 1$ per month Id be able to start a news organization

if every twitter follower and sub Id be able to start TWO news organizations, how bout that!

Is that accounting for twitter follower subscriber crossover?
