Some people claim that the coinhive story had some unnecessary doxxing aswell:

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/03/annual-protest-to-fight-... (see comments)

The users of said image board do a yearly fundraiser to protest against the unnecessary doxxing. The first one was started by a random user.

> They probably took it down because as the original app it violated the App Store’s guidelines on data collection.

Or maybe Apple took it down because - as you said - it violated the store guidelines. Or Apple just encouraged them to do it by themselves (for a better PR). So effectively, they were forced.

Any European people affected? How does this play with the GDPR? Are the user's over 16? Anyone tried to file a GDPR data request?

As this is valid, but only useful as documentation:

    void foo(const int n, const char data[n])

Is this also valid?

    void foo(const int n, const char data[static n])

By "this" I mean encoding information in the address in general, not this signage-thing. See my other reply in this thread.

Well, the proposal was controversial.

There was an article about this recently on the German news site Heise: https://heise.de/-4196981

If this becomes more common, the IPv6 address space will be exhausted pretty quickly. There already was a proposal on encoding phone numbers in IPv6 addresses.

Well, no.

Sessions, IP addresses and User Angents associated with oneself.

The stuff you can't scrape is the interesting stuff.

Maybe they want that people realize that the project in question depends on donations. If they just give them a bunch of money, many people won't notice.

Well, yes. I was solely looking from a user's perspective.

New comment by hoppelhase in "A well-known URL for changing passwords"

hoppelhase — Thu, 06 Dec 2018 21:26:56 +0000

How about something like:

  /.well-known/delete-account
  /.well-known/request-user-data

This would also be nice as we wouldn't need things like https://justdelete.me

What about hostmaster@asedasdf.co and the remaining RFC system addresses?

I recommend the Firefox addon "Bloody Vikings!". You can just right-click on a form field and select from a bunch of trashmail providers. The inbox gets opened and the address is inserted automatically.

This is why I don't like the hooks concept introduced in the post. It breaks these semantics.

You can set the scaling to 1x, but the font size to 1.5x in tweak tools. That's what I'm using.

I wonder how many people buying this do actually have athritis.

Not related to Blue Apron: Where I live, you can buy peeled and chopped onions. Have to be put in the fridge and are packed in a plastic bag.
