Last time i checked you need to swipe to confirm every time your automation attempts to send a message? kinda kills the automation part. I was shocked that there was almost nothing to be automated with messages on IOS as third party apps can't even read or send them. The Tasker app for android is great for this kind of thing.

They'll want to collect the data for themselves which is why we don't already see this for things like KYC.

If the bubble bursts a lot of BS jobs will go away including a lot of jobs in the 'innovative' sector, which only exist due to Americans having more cash than they know what to do with. Think the 23rd food delivery app, uber but for x, crypto, etc. Cowboys will be devastated but the highly skilled and credentialed will always have options.

No.

Cyber crims are financially motivated and today there are far easier/lower risk options for hackers. Just look at the people who lose 6 figure crypto balances to automated twitter scams or fake crypto celeb live-stream stream replays.

I'm honestly more comfortable with Google than companies that pretend to be into the whole privacy thing. At least Google doesn't try deceive you. I really hope nobody here uses TOR (developed by Mozilla?) for anything important, It seems like large parts of the network is owned by the govt.

Unrelated to post, but does anyone know of a text-to-speech app that would allow me to listen to this or any other long text article in audio format?

> Hopefully WFH gains acceptance and becomes normalized

Why would this suddenly happen now considering it didn't happen anywhere over the past 2 years?

Would be cool if there was something like this for Python. Last time i tried to scrape something interesting i found that one of Cloudflare's enterprise options was easily blocking all of the main http libraries due to the identifiable TLS handshake.

Twitter did a similar thing to combat misinformation IIRC, that's why i mentioned Jack.

It can be even worse than suspending you, as early as 2018 i noticed they were shadow banning you based on VPN (PIA also). Meaning you could still post but not be seen, or have the ability to notify people you replied to. I've never since bothered to have an account there. Reddit's CEO, like Jack Dorsey, denies 'shadow banning', even though you can test it by getting -100 karma and watching your comments reach nobody. The negative karma shadow ban is why Reddit is the biggest hivemind on the internet, FYI.

Now if we could pay someone to read it and tell us what data was collected.

I wonder if they count crypto scammers as real users. Hell , i can't even tweet at Amazon support without multiple automated scambots messaging me.
