In short, untreated mental illness

Right. And then they locate it and search the rooms nearby. Exactly what their disclaimer is about

Meta offers products, which are communication platforms. I didn't imply they have a monopoly on communication. What are you even talking about?

It's the way to go, but too difficult for most users in my experience. They rather just install Docker Desktop and use git bash. Sad reality

Just FYI, you need very little skill to clone the WiFi access gateway of a hotel WiFi, and then blast their SSID from your router, to lure close guests into your honeypot. Once people are on your malicious gateway, the fun starts.

In a hotel with hundreds of hackers on alcohol, it's not unlikely for people to fuck around.

There is also no requirement to be a "good guy" to attend the conference.

It really does suck when you're in a debate and the other person defuses all your points with facts. It would have been far nicer if the other person looked stupid. If they don't actually know anything, like myself, that's also kinda dishonest to just have those facts. Especially when it's a debate in the election, which is really a game show on TV, and not about real politics. Shameful behavior

He can't sell shit. Nobody wants the stock now. Even less when he loses. Once he pumps even a tiny fragment of his share into the market, the price will go to 0.

Meta makes more products than Facebook. What other than a communication platform does this person want in return for paying nothing?

Explaining my job is trivial compared to the insanity I cook up in my spare time.

Oh, so you like gaming? No, I'm actually not playing the game. I'm building a mod for it. Erm, okay, so this is for other players then? No, I'm mostly building it for myself. Ah, so you haven't put a lot of time into it yet? Roughly 12 years. What? So what does the mod do then? It plays the game for me, and publishes in-game metrics to a monitoring application, so that I can see the progress of the game in an abstract form while I'm on the couch, thinking about how to optimize the automation further.

Regular fun stuff.

Telegram is not just IM. Open the search and search for channels. Get creative, they have keyword filters. City name is always a good start. Check the channels with ❄️ and 🍄 emojis. This is where people are scammed for drugs. Maybe sometimes not scams.

A lot happens on Telegram, and it's right behind that little search icon.

In boomer times, phone calls were expensive and were transferred over landlines. It had an impact on the quality of the conversation.

Today people call you with 1% battery while at the register of the supermarket and instantly launch into a monologue about how they know it's not a good time to call, and they might even cut off any moment, and they know you're usually busy at 10am on a work day, but they really need to know if they can call you "later" to discuss something really important. And before you can tell them anything, they cut off. At least it's over!

10 minutes later they call you from their car and it takes them a couple of minutes to get the audio working so they can repeat everything they said earlier. It's what you have to do if a call was cut off! Then they drive into a tunnel.

Dealing with this shit is a dark art fr
