I was an artistic kid and essentially came up with my own distinct handwriting "font". It was beautiful. 35 years later, all typing, I've lost most of it. Now my handwriting is ill…

Reporting the scammers to Meta is pointless. I was bored a while ago and scambaited about 10. I posted stuff like couches bed frames etc. I built up a long chat history that plainl…

This really shouldn't be a shock for Netflix employees. According to Netflix's culture page ( https://jobs.netflix.com/culture ) They are a team, not a family. When you're on a tea…

You're expecting too much from poorly trained contractors in India who review these reports (if a human reviews them at all).

I'm not sure what was expected after they reverse engineered a private API and used it.

Okta, you had one job! I don't understand why people still trust their user data to these guys.
