  1. I'm starting to detect the breakdown of what Google has done when it comes down to authentication of programmers for its Android platform

    I needed to patch a very small program through fDroid KDE connect
    When I proceeded with install, Google Play popped up a bogus requester stating that the program is malicious.

    It's not malicious it's an Open Source program

    I proceeded with install anyway for which I had to put in my phone's password. Google Play decided to block me from updating the program. I proceeded with this 16 times and got the same result.

    I have to check what happens on my other Androids, however on this Android, a small one, I cannot update kdeconnect anymore, because the Play Store actively blocks it even when I override it with install anyway.

    KDE connect was installed via fDroid

    I have the right to install any program I want, on my device.

    I paid for it!

    Google cannot dictate me what to do

    I shall fight this

  7. I decided I want to create a #bogus #website with TONS of #adverts for fun and profit. Any suggestions?

    #ad #advertisement #parody

  8. 1. If you're going to #report somebody you need to give #examples of what #activity you're reporting. Just #reporting a #profile and telling an #instance #admin that an #account is being "#spammy" doesn't cut it. Not when we can clearly see the user is not.

    2. Again, not a very helpful report. You report a user and say they're a
    #SCAM account but offer up absolutely no #evidence to support your #claim.

    3. Every account was new once, including the person that reported this one. As long as
    #NSFW #content is properly #flagged, there's no issue. Suspecting an account to be a "scam account or worse" is not a valid #reason for reporting an account.

    4. Another report without any basis or
    #justification.

    5. Again, another baseless report about somebody with absolutely ZERO evidence to back up their claim.

    So here's what's going to happen....

    The instances that forwarded these
    #bogus #reports to me, and wasted my time, each have a strike against them.

    Strike three and we tell
    #Sharkey to #ignore any and all reports coming from the #instance in the future.

    No
    #admin wants #BadActors on their instances, and no admin wants a #BadActor to make someone else feel unwelcome.

    But you can't just flag and report an account for any bullshit reason either.

    You have to give us proof and evidence.

    This is not high school and this is not middle school. If somebody is being disruptive or causing problems, let us know.

    But if you just suspect someone
    might cause problems or they might be disruptive... wait until you have proof and evidence and then let us know!

  13. adding #bogus-cna since #VulDB tags themself in all their posts

  14. UPDATE: It is a #scam Thank you for the replies and information! (See comments) 🙇🏽🙇🏽🙇🏽🙇🏽

    Can anyone from the USA confirm this? Is this a new scam from there?

    The image they're claiming is in the #PublicDomain for almost 10 years already, but I'm not familiar with USA-based (edit: or rather those with a USA address) scams.

  15. Krugman:
    Well, it depends on the audience.

    ➡️A lot of Latinos voted for Trump believing that he’s going to reduce the cost of living.

    🔥They’ll presumably be really shocked when it turns out that he does the opposite,
    💥and also when people they know get rounded up,
    which is going to be another thing that they haven’t really taken on board.

    For Trump, clearly it is not that he really is concerned that immigrants are taking American jobs.

    For him, it’s all really #blood #and #soil.

    And he doesn’t really care whether they’re legal or not.

    ⚠️It’s just they’re #scary #Brown #people basically.

    For a fair bit of the base, that’s true as well, ❇️ but not all of it.

    And he couldn’t have won if it was only that.

    For somebody like that, some of his stuff is almost ... There had been books and classes on how to lie with statistics,
    and it uses a lot of #bogus #numbers,
    which anyone who knows anything about the subject can tell you,

    "Look, that’s a really, really misleading set of numbers you’re putting there".

    But that’s too complicated.

    ❌If you’re explaining, "Well, the reason we haven’t been adding all that many jobs for native-born Americans is because us baby boomers are dropping out of the workforce,
    most of the younger workers coming in are immigrants",
    you’re losing.

  16. “Cause it will come out thousands of health care workers got infected and died cause these things are bogus.”

    “Doesn’t even recommend for medical/hospital environment use! Oh boy we’re all going to jail."
