the moment I started hating capitalism was a few years ago when my cat was hit by a car. we could have saved him but it would have been more than 3 MONTHS of rent of a FUCKING HOUSE with 3 bedroom and 2 bathroom and a front and back yard. not having 3 months of rent worth of money on hand meant that we could not save him. I can't hold him, pet him, tell him he is the best cat in the world only because we don't have the money for it. money should have never been made and I will LITERALLY die on that hill I would LITERALLY die for capitalism to die. money is just a worthless object that people decided to put worth on it. king or beggar we ALL end the same

The capitalist stronghold known as LinkedIn is poorly defended. I spent three days wreaking havoc there and wish others would join in this effort.

Cloudflare Function Could Expose App Users’ Rough Location

An “issue” with the basic functionality of internet infrastructure company Cloudflare’s content delivery network, or CDN, can reveal the coarse location of people using apps, including those meant for protecting privacy, according to findings from an independent security researcher. Cloudflare has servers in hundreds of cities and more than 100 countries around the world. Its CDN works by caching peoples’ internet traffic across its servers then delivering that data from the server closest to a person’s location. The security researcher, who goes by Daniel, found a way to send an image to a target, collect the URL, then use a custom-built tool to query Cloudflare to find out which data center delivered the image—and thus the state or possibly the city the target is in. Fortunately, Cloudflare tells 404 Media that it fixed the issue after Daniel reported it.

CONTEXT:
WE've experienced complete leaks of IP & locations on iPhone and iMac using Cloudflare's WARP apps for years. always been told it's something else. But it wasn't/isn't. color me doubtful it is completely fixed. and note that there are other OS bugs, app bugs that leak location. Also leaked on NordVPN and that is one reason we stopped using it.

So I was talking with my partner who happens to be involved in the scientific community which is getting hit HARD by the trump administration, and in response she reminded me of my mantra. And she's right. Pxxsing in public by its other name if you need an easy way not to forget it. I keep P.I.P close to my heart. Being concerned is important, but panic will leave us like deer in Trump's headlights. Just a nice reminder that we still have work to do.

Unrelated sidenote, CBS is off it's rocker. Waiting for a petition for Calexit until 2027 that may not even pass a full vote is a disasterous plan. We need to act faster somehow. Taxation without representation and all that. Done being a paycheck. anyone else feel this way?

How do you handle dependencies on social media and streaming platforms such as Spotify, given your desire to avoid supporting consumerism and capitalism in general? I ask because I felt sick to my stomach looking at all the tech CEOs faces on Trumps inauguration knowing I give them even more then they already have.

Do you have any ethical alternatives for esencial apps recommendations for people who share the same sentiment as me in the light of last few days?
