<p>If you need to buy Sudafed in a pharmacy you need a drivers license, and I believe they record the information somehow. Presumably online alcohol or marijuana sales would also require some retained evidence that a dl was presented. Maybe car insurance too.</p>

<p>We do? People can go into any neighborhood they want. They can’t break laws, but the law allows them to walk around and look for open windows, knock on front doors, take photos, scan WiFi bssid, note cars and license plate info, etc…<p>The crime here is the tech. The companies aren’t to blame. Programmers and tech companies are. If there was no internet or “tech industry” we’d all be so much better off it’s painful to even contemplate.</p>

<p>To me, Facebooks’ entire business model seems like spyware and selling personal info to third parties. Whether people at such companies are good or bad is not at issue. I assume most people everywhere are good people. But are the companies themselves “good”? Microsoft and Google maybe, certainly in the past (Google wave was very innovative). But  Facebook?<p>The context was privacy and people being victimized by Indian scammers. We know those scammers use Facebook to gather info and target victims, all without any actual breach taking place. To me, not having a breach does not make Facebook “good”.</p>

<p>Microsoft just compromised the National Nuclear Security Administration last week.<p>Facebook was breached what last month?<p>Google is an ad company. They can’t sell data that’s breached. They basically do email, and with phishing at epidemic levels, they’ve failed the consumer even at that simple task.<p>All are too big to fail so there is only congress to blame. While people like Rho Khana focus their congressional resources on the Epstein intrigue citizens are having their savings stolen by Indian scammers and there is clearly no interest and nothing on the horizon to change that.</p>

<p>It’s not a given that “web page” has any particular meaning to people who don’t own a computer or laptop. Even people with only a cell phone, many don’t browse the web on mobile. Is the google sign in screen that pops up on a google tv a webpage, is not a question a lot of people can answer with confidence.</p>

<p>“otherwise they’ve been good.”<p>I wouldn’t think that’s a very common opinion. They like most other news outlets are circling the drain and using clickbait and nbc/fox style engagement news-tainment as life support.</p>

<p>Got to fight fire with fire. Only way to beat a sociopath is by being a bigger sociopath. Yet, I try to go a different way myself. I choose vulnerability over taking on sociopathic behavior. I’ll probably never become wealthy this way, but virtue is its own reward.</p>

<p>Tents are safer and better in a bunch of different ways. Imagine if the tents had electrical systems like motorhomes do. Fire, environmental damage, crime, public costs, all favor cheap, safe disposable tents over motorhomes.<p>The answer isn’t motorhomes or tents, it’s better political leadership and a healthier less likely to fall into homelessness middle class.</p>

<p>There have been reports from Israeli soldiers about surplus killing of citizens which you can find on YouTube. It’s unlikely these people are lying, but their reports may not be entirely representative of the war effort either. I think we need to avoid turning ethic cleansing into some sort of binary where you have it or don’t. It exists on a continuum and is a side effect of war that we should assume exists in some tacit degree wherever there are wars involving ethnic groups.</p>

<p>I felt moral outrage after October 7th, but my moral outrage only served to give Israel a bit more justification for actions which are increasingly and ultimately turning out in a way that provokes similar outrage. Outrage begets outrage, blood will have blood.</p>

<p>“subscriptions like Apple News”<p>They will eventually start pushing ads. Just like Netflix, Amazon prime, etc… Paying a subscription to prevent ads is like paying a ransom: maybe you get lucky and they don’t come back for more in the future. But most all businesses seek growth, forever, so you probably end up with a low tier of a multi-tier subscription offering with ads and increasingly poor quality and costs that go up unexpectedly year on year.</p>

<p>I’ve heard you can cut intake by a third if you switch from chicken breast to fish. Not cheap but you can get frozen tilapia cheap and tuna is safe if limited to once or twice a week. Part of the problem with whey is processing and potential contamination, but also dyes and flavorings, which may be why you felt better without it.</p>

<p>But if everyone used that, wouldn’t it just encourage websites to get even more sleazy with those infernal cookie menus because instead of a human being forced to click through “performance cookies” vs. “cookies for ad targeting” vs. “cookies you really need” vs. “cookies you probably want” vs. “cookies that seem like the opposite thing to what they actually are” dark pattern web designs, your extension is hiding that burden (and sleaziness) from you.</p>

<p>A variation can be the scammer presents a fake number for you to call, via email, sms or worse through malicious ads that pop up when you google for the company phone number. Or, a phishing proxy like evilginx could overlay a “call [fake number] to unlock your account” as part of the login process.</p>

<p>The scammer calls the bank rather than trying to login. When calling, they will be asked to verify with info and the code which they will get from you. Think mitm but telephone based. The verification info (maybe just a zip code or last 4 of ssn or something publicly available) can be acquired beforehand so they only need the code to be relayed. Obviously they have to get the timing right, so you might be on the phone for a few minutes before they find a reason to ask for the code.</p>
