The question the article proposes we ask ourself: "Am I fine with a bunch of people I don’t know, all of whom have my phone number and some of whom know where I live, reading all of this?" Lots of people have in their mind somethi

Has any leak ever resulted in someone saying they could clearly id damages from a specific leak and then get compensation from the company who leaked it? We aren't even told when a government entity looks at and uses our private inform

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the Queen's Thief series by Megan Turner. I went into it not expecting much but came away from it surprised in a number of ways.

Thank you for pointing that out. I did not mean for my comment to be interpreted as being about this single instance. My intent was to comment on the general sentiment I was seeing in the comments that the US culture has turned to be an ove

The problem is CPS/DCS. They are a lawless organization that can take your child at based solely on their feelings at the moment and not from "probable cause", "reasonable suspicion" or any of the other standards t

In reality I enter my phone passcode very infrequently because I use a fingerprint reader. I have set a long PIN since I don't want it to be brute forced. Because of the horror stories I hear of law enforcement and abuse of power, if

I was worried about sharing broadly and leaking info from 1 contact to another, but it seems like the Signal team did all the right things here. When you create a story you can make it a group story or not. If you do not make it a group sto

Bad HOA stories are more common than bad wisdom teeth stories. If I'm at a party and somehow bring up some silly complaint my HOA has filed I am sure to get several other people chiming in about their HOAs. It is common.

It is because CPS is an over reaching and lawless organization that can be weaponized against a neighbor that raises their kids in a way you don't agree with. If you don't want your children kidnapped legally by this entity you be

The problem is the 3rd party doctrine. The data should not be treated as if it is Facebook's to give away. Instead it should be the defendant that receives the request for their data using the proper warrant process. Instead governm

For android use Keepass2Android which is compatible with KeePassXC. If I had to pick between LastPass and BitWarden, I would go with Bitwarden. I personally use KeePassXC and Keepass2Android with the pw files synced across 3 phones and 3 la

I think the point is, since the numbers don't show an uptick in property crime while others are reporting an increase, the only explanation for that is for the reporting of property crime to decrease at the exact same time as the actua

I guess its good to know how to avoid getting pulled into yet another UI refresh that I do not want. Google's new chat system doesn't appeal to me even a little bit.

Because, it's a massive centralized decrypted data repository, law enforcement can simply ask for the data and the company will hand it over. It's not their data so they don't care to defend it but because of the third party

This has been a continual discussion between me and my coworkers. Do you know of any reading we can look at to better understand the tradeoffs of when it is appropriate to put constraints on the data?

I hate the argument this blog uses. Just because your data is available and abused through websites A, B, and C doesn't mean you should add your private data to site D. If I'm trying to avoid catching Covid-19 by limiting exposure

Before First Unlock (BFU) is a term used to describe the state of your phone after it has booted and been unlocked at least once. Even if locked again, the phone is still in a less secured state until it has been shut down again. The linke
