100_percent_a_bot, in Unpopular Opinion Incoming

Here’s an equally controversial opinion: pedos are le bad

Edit: Thank you for the lemmy gold kind stranger, I know I’m so stunning and brave for this hot take

That emoji captures how I feel toward anyone who still has a Facebook account.

Facebook got its angel investment from a front company for the NSA, and the NSA cancelled a project to figure out how to do mass domestic surveillance literally 24 hours prior.

It’s from a parody news website:

-The actual article-

So sadly not real, but I still thought it represented Facebook-folk quite well. 😅

Wogi,

What brand of foil do you use for your hats? I find Reynolds to be too expensive but anything else I just don’t feel like does a good job blocking the beta waves

vexikron,

I only use the tinfoil in my wallet.

I remember everyone calling me crazy in the early 2010’s for pointing out that the new smart chips in credit cards could be read by various electronic devices, and that this could be blocked by basically lining your wallet with tinfoil.

Nowadays of course you can just buy wallets with it neatly built in.

You can also line a backpack or laptop bag with tinfoil on the inside to do shoplifting, as long as they have the older style scanning towers.

RFID-related crime isn’t only very unlikely, it’s non-existent.

vexikron,

So a crime perpetrated by highly technically competent attackers, that can be done and hidden easily by such highly competent attackers, has never been proved to have happened, even though this very article outlines that it is very doable…

Do you think this means I am somehow incorrect in stating that this is a thing that can happen? An article that explains that it can happen?

Or do you think it ‘proves’ that it doesnt make sense to worry about, or take steps to mitigate?

I got the RFID mitigating wallet I have for 10 dollars. Its a great wallet, easily worth 10 dollars whether or not it has RFID protection.

JustAManOnAToilet,

It’s a non-existent crime. You do you, man.

vexikron,

I mean, I know how to do it and get away with it, but I dont because I am a decent person.

JustAManOnAToilet,

I’m sure you do, bud.

Any brand as long as it has nonstick coating.

all over that until a cite is provided

Wogi,

His citation is just a picture of Obi-Wan Kenobi saying of course he’s got a source.

vexikron, (edited )

Apologies, it was DARPA program, and the funding came from the CIA, to Peter Thiel, to Facebook. Got my alphabet soup a bit mixed up.

unlimitedhangout.com/…/the-military-origins-of-fa…

I assumed this story was common knowledge?

Guess not.

Anyway yeah, when part of your job includes managing cybersecurity policies for a medium sized organization, its behooves oneself to do some research into the most well known data thieves in the world, the US Government.

_Mantissa,

oh neat, the author (and owner of the website) has a podcast, “Whitney Webb on deep diving into Epstein, 9/11, Covid, and more” “Whitney Webb is a researcher and a proper journalist.”

Now, I hate ethos based rhetoric as much as the next guy, but I think if someone hangs a neon sign on their chest that says “im an idiot” then I can just dismiss their ideas without thoroughly debunking them. I mean, I’m certainly not wasting an afternoon and the alternative is blindly believing a wall of text written by a known idiot. So I’m kind of backed into a corner here.

vexikron, (edited )

Ah I see, the author who you were unaware of until now is a ‘known idiot’, so you are not interested in reading then citation I provided.

Welp, cant argue with that!

_Mantissa,

No, read the citation. and I didn’t say known to me to be an idiot, I said known idiot, which they are based on the results of googling them. But Instead of thinking “that doesn’t sound right, better check that to make sure” I think “this follows the same pattern of other conspiracy theories and when i’ve researched them in the past they have all been misleading or false”. I’ve gone down that rabbit hole before and it always ends the same way. Professional misinformation is designed to be difficult to debunk but that doesn’t make it correct. and I’m not calling you an idiot for reading or believing it. I would suggest you dig a little deeper though, because that is at the very least a conspiracy (if true) and at worst blatantly misleading. either way, facebook is evil enough in daylight for me to wage war so I don’t really need to lie to myself to be more angry at them.

“No one should have to meet their hero.”, and even less so: fellow fans.

Buddahriffic,

Think of the poor heroes that have to meet their fans.

Hey buddy, when I go to a waffle house bathroom and find a discarded needle I don’t make a huge fuss.
