In Ontario, "Frozen Treat" and "Ice Cream", "Orange Juice" and "Orange Drink" are on shelves often right beside eachother with nearly identical packaging. I only noticed the latter…

I imagine this kind of behavior is common everywhere , and the bodies responsible for enforcing things (examples: data protection, consumer protection) just go "hmmmm sorry we're u…

Nintendo outright ships incomplete games on carts sometimes, requiring a day 1 patch to have the game in a non-buggy state (one of the recent pokemon games was like this) And "game…

and the poor Fedora teams will continue to assume good faith and continue to engage with this person... all because, what, they were active on a bug tracker for a few months 5 year…

It's just social engineering. No different than say, 2FA fatigue (blowing up someone's phone with 2FA "is this you? yes/no" prompts until user/child/wife/SO/etc clicks yes) or even…

Don't forget "sudden price hikes" and "aggressively overselling"...

And if they don't disclose, nothing happens anyway. Maybe a five figure "cost of doing business" slap on the wrist fine, not considering the amount of users affected. Enforcement i…

NOYB has been ghosting me since January, and EFF since September.

Cloudflare & AWS wouldn't even INVESTIGATE a abuse report I sent because there weren't any "infringing URLs" or "specific resources". I provided enough evidence for them to at leas…

I know, I reached out to them regarding the retaliation and they started outright that I'm outside of the scope of the DSA and began ignoring my emails across the board, even to th…

Yup, NOYB couldn't help as I'm non-EU.

I considered it but I'd rather not wake up to threatening certified mail seeing as they're no stranger to these underhanded tactics. They have a fairly negative reputation among pl…

(note: I'm non-EU, company is American with EU branch) I informed a country's DPA that a company was leaking millions of user IDs within DSA transparency reports. EU developer docu…

Is this what happened with Vanguard Princess?

interrogations on motives for building from source constant slap fights between contributors (usually involving haze or guru) important PRs left ignored due to internal drama 8GB+ …

Turns out when you're dealing with millions of users "small number of government IDs" means a measley... 2 million, no biggie. https://x.com/vxunderground/status/197583462150306249…

If a message like "I'm 12", regardless of context is reported, Discord will ban the account & hold it hostage until user sends selfie + ID to them via support. (the compromised por…
