bugbear

Yeah, I was about to mention Sideshow Bob making the same argument that attempted murder shouldn’t be a crime.

I meant that there isn’t a real science based recommendation. I aim for at least 10k steps a day as well, but even that number is made up

They released the toy as The Simpsons merch, I would like to get it one day. From what I’ve heard it’s pretty good, except they accidentally swapped good and evil labels.

I almost forgot about that one, yes. That one was definitely creepier.

The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street episode is a great societal commentary (similarly to The Shelter) and it’s stayed with me since I watched it. Honestly, it feels even scarier in today’s world.

I find it funny how you ask a question about people being sensitive when you just “give feedback”, people answer and you call them raging.

What’s the real point of this whining?

There’s no real quota to set it to anyway, what’s too low or too high is very subjective.

But did they say it was a workout? Or just that they’ve done their daily steps

I don’t know, I feel like there are creepier episodes than that. I still like it, but I don’t think it was that creepy.

Wow. I was just joking, I didn’t expect that to be a real thing.

I don’t like prediction markets, but I guess one good thing would be that it motivates investment into weather prediction models. Something we will need to improve even further, because of climate change.

10 quid says it’s gonna rain!

I find it weird how many people actually blame GDPR for cookie banners. I mean, yes. I think they should have probably written the law a little bit better to avoid this situation. But malicious compliance is a thing in many laws.

I also hate how many websites are trying to blackmail me now with “pay or we use your data”

I’m aware, yes. That was my point

Yeah, I couldn’t find anything either

Oh good, so AI proponents can finally shut up about it.

They could have had them printed

I don’t know, my partner and I enjoy watching it.

Edit: And then my friend and I criticise what we did and didn’t like about it

I wish someone warned me when I signed up, now it’s too late for me

Okay, one last time. Those are two different issues.

The whole point of this thread was that it was possible to intercept the messages. That’s all. I doubt the OP needs to worry about that. But it’s possible as was stated by the other poster.

It’s like claiming that mail can’t be intercepted. Of course it can, but generally speaking you don’t have to worry about that. Though it would be foolish to claim otherwise (especially when one quick web search can show you cases when someone successfully pulled it off)

Good day.

Edit: typos

That was an example, the point is it is possible to intercept it. It’s been done in the wild - again that’s why there’s such need for other methods of 2FA.

Re: Apple or Google That’s even easier for them, because, you know, they’ve got access to the phone. Heck, famously Apple had a bug/feature where it stored text of notifications which affected Signal, too. In that case it was law enforcement who took advantage of that, though.

I wouldn’t go around sounding the alarm about SMS, because I don’t think many people send stuff that shouldn’t be plaintext via SMS. I like using SMS, actually, because how simple it is and you don’t need 4G for that.

But the fact is messages can be read one way or another. If you want to conspire, definitely use something else.
