I like this idea. Giving it a go, I found generating the passwords time consuming - as in sometimes I would be okay to get a simple 2 image throwaway password without having to go throuugh all 6 images. However I suspect that my impatience

We could encourage Twitter clients or browser extensions to OCR the attached images and automatically convert them to text. Indeed - the same addons could encode text all using a standard font to make it easier.

I think that certain people get addicted in this way, and the lack of self control is an indicator of it. Logically it's seeking short term reward over long term, but I think its bio chemistry too - dopamine. So I think the thing that

but it's yes, most people are not familiar with the subject. And you can hide propaganda. Only a very few people are familiar with what goes on. It needs journalism similar to the featured article to raise the awareness of more people.

It's possible that Imgur will, when it gets as old as Photobucket, change their terms and start charging more. Will we expect people in tech forums in the future to be writing "What does anyone still use Imgur?" The answer to

The FFF forum, to me, was similar to the Unfiction Forums - which was very active at the time the book was released, and both dealt with mysteries and puzzles of online phenomena - with found footage (for FFF) & Alternate Reality Games

I'm thinking that both Facebook and Twitter has lost that early adopter, frontier mindset that initially drew us to it. Reddit had it for a few years but has lost it now and HS has some of it in a niche way. I think that there's a

It's clear O'Reilly is struggling. I personally know some authors, and they have made some great books, but I've not bought much from them for around 10 years. They seem to have dropped from my radar. I no longer hear from my

I agree about not participating in eye-for-an-eye. However I disagree that the US Citzens will percieve their smooth entry experiences with reported obstructive from others. Mainly because most people don't hear about such things, tha

I'd pay for a VPN with integrated tracker / ad blocking. I currently have a low cost VPS with a VPN where I set the hosts with a couple of block lists, but I think it could be good to have a proper VPN service with that option. Th

Reddit has a huge value I think which has not been mentioned - that companies, corporations, organisations use it to market and advertise themselves, for free. Sometimes they do that under the covers, so to speak, and some users don't

Interesting essay I thought. And whilst I think that it's as okay to view history through a well, venture capitalist lens as it is through a Marxist lens, the following stood out for me: "Theirs are also visions of history that ar

Whilst there are of course vulnerable individuals who fall prey, are captivated and consumed by conmen, I think that's making things too simply - it's both more truthful, more difficult and more worrying to say that these individu
