  • Sorry to break it to you bruh, but if Facebook owns the IP, they’re harvesting and monetizing the account data, end of.

    This includes all of the subsidiaries like Instagram and WhatsApp as well.

    Let’s also not forget that illegal activity exposes user data in addition to greed, and just the fact that your data is in yet another pot increases your risk. Also yes all corporations are greedy and evil but they’re definitely not all equal in how bad they are, and FB is one of the worst

    Are you willing to compromise on all of these intrusions into your life? Many people are, but I’m not one.





  • Certainly! I’m not sure when I’ll get around to actually doing it, but my intent was to create an emergency boot drive to send to my elderly family members that they could plug in if the system ever started acting up, and I’ll build it in such a way that it’ll be able to be booted as a Linux live USB, and also have a Windows partition for any tools that I might need for remote access and in-system diagnostics.

    I’ve built a few scripts for the Linux bootable but I can’t seem to remember where I stored that particular repo at the moment, so I’ll share later.

    Some of my stuff is up on my GitHub (same username)










  • NTA- he’s gotta sort out his own feelings of discomfort about the concept you just presented this poor sheltered man, and that’s his choice to make.

    That being said, you might not have wanted to bring this up at a work event since this is the kind of honesty that the social contract usually keeps between more friendly relationships. You may find your experience at the office is different now depending on how office politics trends. You may find some people approve of what you said, bit I’ll bet management won’t like it. Not that they can do anything about it legally, but you might find yourself the target of less than favorable consideration. I don’t you’ll get fired or any kind of overt retaliation, more just that this person and anyone who “takes his side” will at the least be less friendly and helpful.

    I’d say you should have stayed quiet, but not for ‘Jack’. Teaching an asshole a life lesson shouldn’t cost you your own peace of mind at work
