    …second phone number…

    Anyways… we are digressing here,

    at this point it’s a lot like protecting anything in life: prevention and making yourself less tasty to a psycho.

    If you’ve set it even two step You’re already doing way more than any user they are probably intending this warning to do more to protect themselves who set their password to “password” or phrases haven’t changed it in decades and would even prefer to publicly post their passwords on social willing to give up their entire savings rather than having to do anything further as if technology is too beyond and suddenly so super complex that they have to use different keys on their keyboard other than letters.

    You don’t have to apply every threat like it’s calculus in a situation where there are people who are scared of even doing basic sums.

    This situation was hashtags. And all they are asking is to rehash it. And here you are already disposing of the 2nd feature after that.

    Yes and no. hacking isn’t new. Everyone could get sued technically for security breaches for not taking enough interest in their own security.

    But then it’s ridiculous if you could sue your own grandma cuz you once used her computer to print your resume and because she uses default passwords now someone has all your info you had from anything you left behind.

    Ransom and hacking is pretty common unfortunately in the industry. And it is in part on the user to also take practices to protect themselves if they haven’t enabled 2F yet. And there’s way more you can do where you make email masks now and simply do not fill in with your accurate information like don’t use your real name.and use a VPN. Store stuff on ext drives and less on clouds that don’t use e2e encryption

    I don’t know if it’s perfect but as a user just always have it back in your mind that your information can be obtained(if you ever used a web service to check your info on the dark web, this is pretty much going to be a given) . And it probably has. So maybe at least you can try to control what gets obtained.






  • there’s no need to be a condescending prick.

    Ditto. Take your own advice before you be giving it. I’m just responding in kind. Don’t like it then you can change tone or cry and leave. But expect more if you keep this up.

    But either way, sidestepping your ad hominem attack and getting back to the point: you’re still extracting your own narrative for no other reason than to vilify a character(which is not surprising considering you couldnt resist ad hominem even under a basic rage bait complaint).

    I will remind you This title was misleading to bait rage. And your filled with conjecture to keep up that rage without even nodding to this kind of distasteful media. It’s disgusting. It’s disgusting when dems do it. It’s disgusting when reps do it. It’s disgusting when tiktokers keep it up when it’s been pointed out. I will not change my mind on this. It is disgusting.





  • “Doom us to republicans”

    No this is bullshit as you’re choosing to vilify one for what the other is doing. If you blame your mistake on choosing worse for yourself and blame someone for your choice it is you to blame. It’s what enablers do to protect their abuser. You are speaking like a Stockholm syndrome right now.

    This. This is why you’re rigged right now. This is all on you for not holding republicans accountable for doing what they do. Blaming dems isn’t going to save you. You’re nothing more than an idiot if you thought this victimhood bullshit was ever going to get you saved rn. Do better.
