Microsoft websites are bad for this too. Not sure if is deliberate, as it used to be a dark pattern back in the IE days.

these devices are way more insidious though, a gps/mobile tracker would have more limitations due to it being less able to be hidden and less mobile.

As always, an example output (or at least easily discoverable output) would really help.

As a dev I second this. Dev's are usually far removed from any knowledge of design, hopefully that changes.

I doubt much will end up public, as most vpns have a zero retention policy, so that leaves the NSA being able to track things at a lower level.

it would be the end of their business if they did, as they have a strict no retention policy. This would mean they are lying to all their customers, so it is not going to happen.

Yep, a recent FB ad for clothing I tried to buy was a fake scam company. I had to cancel my card. Youtube ads sometimes have wierd 30m cult-like ads.

This will have huge benifits for Linux ISO images, in reducing there size by using this instead of squashfs.

Yeah, although I do like RCS, for instance my network dragged their heals in updating to latest specs and was always broken and patchy at best, until they just gave up and handed all their RCS infrastructure over to Google to run directly.

I'd imagine berry picking is not as appealling for ADHD folks in the modern era.

yes, they fit this pattern exactly. I only discovered this issue after being scammed. There are hundreds of people for example who got scammed by a company advertising dolphin blankets, as described by reddit users who where victims of it,

FB has many scam adverts that get reported but never taken down, I know as I got scammed from 1 and the company is listed online as a fraudulant company, but FB just dont care as they make advert money.

by emayljames 3y ago
They provide a possible reason, that being mobile number spoofing and calling the call center

I got scammed from a FB advert selling clothing, turned out the company is a scam and sends nothing, FB have allowed them to still advertise for months still.
