Yep. But there was nothing stopping a black hat from contacting the admin and selling their own botted data to genesis shop. Criminal organizations have supply chains.

Mv3 broke uBlock Lite for me (used uBlock to control js mostly).

But that wasn't a deal breaker because I got to discover NoScript (still stuck on mv2 but I like the approach vastly better than original uBlock's implementation).

Just waiting to see how this functionality will be handled in mv2 sunset since Noscript has no plans to migrate atm and uBlock lite should be "guttered" for the foreseeable future.

Nothing like that on Android happens without explicit consent. And the controls around this consent are very very robust imo.

I don't what you are on about. The chart figures I linked is sourced from the monthly CPI rate shared by BLS every month.

You are obviously trolling at this point.

> It what?

Muddied the definition of a recession when the question came up.

> Also if you predict a recession every year you'll eventually get one right, but that doesn't make you right about recession predictions in general.

Yep. That's pretty much the game of predictions.

> 2019's inflation was below target.

Which target? The one the Fed determines? Consumer inflation at the moment (~7%) is rivalling rates witnessed back in the 80s. Add the new money the Fed has printed over time (since 2008) and now expected to continue (covid stimulus, bailouts for banks etc.), anyone can see where the trend for inflation is going. No predictions are even needed for that.

And the definition of a recession was rescinded last year by the White House.

Is inflation for you better now than it was in 2019?

He isn't wrong on any of those predictions.

The dollar has never been at a more precarious position (on a hyper-inflation course and the BRICS are pondering about adopting the Yuan).

Bitcoin (who knows what's coming next, but for sure never seeing 70K again)

Hyperinflation (pretty obvious)

Bear market (most of 2022 was in one, and most probably this year will follow)

Recession (high certainty this will happen. Fed's soft landing is a mirage, history shows a rate cut after aggressive hiking usually leads into one)

Schiff is not outright wrong on his predictions. He just never gave time stipulations for his predictions.

You sound stuck in the past (read trauma). Confront your issue and look for a new enjoyable hobby to substitute the time you have for these thoughts.

Glad I transitioned my passwords from Bitwarden to an offline password manager that doesn't have a similar "easy PIN password mode" feature.

I used to use Bitwarden with this feature though, just that I recently came to the conclusion that the product probably isn't the most secure offering and it has some issues on Android with native autofill when you aren't using Google Services.
