Re:Who Reads Your Email? on Saturday March 11, 2023 @12:11PM (#35110314)

Re:Help Locked out of 10 years Gmail account on Saturday December 24, 2022 @08:57AM (#34116821)
Is there a customer service at Google? Had no luck with them... once I got an email after they charged me twice for Play Music, but this was canned response. It took them almost 7 months to figure this out and pay my money back.

This!

I wanted to switch from Google few times (always postponed it to a "next time"), but reading this today I realized how devastating it would be to get locked out. So in the next few days I will move away from Gmail.

I was struggling with rails 6 and whole JS / webpack thing. But with rails 7 it feels like home again
But you can do the same with any password manager. If you don't lock your "vault" any of your passwords are exposed.

I think it would make sense to create a "regenerate" button or something like that.

I don't think this is an issue with LE or the implementation. Maybe we need different policies for such organizations, but this is for sure not a LE issue

It is not the first case for Telegram. So, Durov will continue with his show... they claim that Telegram is e2e encrypted, but don't mention that needs to be activated per chat

That they are not able to target you and others with ads worries me. I'm asking myself what are they doing with all this data they gather on people?

Regarding your point working at google, I don't think the entirety of google is evil. There have to be good people somewhere. But some parts are just evil.

Re:“Invalid Username or Password”: a useless security measure on Wednesday November 23, 2022 @09:13AM (#33719306)
you didn't read the article? did you?
Not really, as GDPR is not only about screwing up big companies. Certain kind of data must be saved by companies (like financial transactions). You can request the deletion, but they are still allowed to save some of the data.
This is only if you use it hierarchically. No one prevents you from having a tag projects and another tag newproject. Your emails just have both tags assigned and you are good to go
As this would stop someone writing exploits from decompiling
Still Google will use your AP for location services for other devices in the area

Why the need of new version? Just get rid of the "bad" stuff. I don't think is going to change much in this direction.

Wow, I was sure all donkeys and mules died a decade ago. Or were full of malware. How is this still usable today? I mean you can find literally everything online for download or stream, without pirating over p2p.

I don't think you can really compare both of these games... both are about building factories, but that's it. Factorio is another world of complexity comparing to Satisfactory
