  • Also according to the OP, RN now have more seats than anyone else. Still not enough to form a government by themselves, and the other two main parties won't want to help them.

    However the other two parties don't exactly get on swimmingly with each other, either, so the new coalition government might struggle.

  • The above appears to be Google Captcha, with an added font check for further tracking. This was taken from the login page, so you'd perhaps expect to see it there, but I still hate it.

    Google is insidious with this, it's probably their main method of tracking users. Even banks seem to use it now, only they hide it and don't present the image check.

  • None of the other victims corroborate that Katie Johnson was even on the island. They made a real filing of fake claims.

    I'm all for sticking it to Trump and punishing him for his crimes, many of which were sexual and some may have been with underage girls. However we have to be careful to focus on the things he is actually guilty of, else he will just be exonerated and get another layer of orange Teflon added to his skin.

  • Poor wording on my part. The lawsuit was not fake, the allegations were. None of the other Epstein victims corroborate that Katie Johnson was even on Epstein's island.

    I do think Trump has done similar/worse though, but there's yet to be any real evidence surfaced.

  • Yes but the reddit mod James Williams aka Archbox didn't do any of that. He ran a subreddit and also apparently some "stores" where you download games for free directly to your Switch. This is a major outlier, all the previous cases have only been triggered when money got involved.

    Nintendo are trying to push for further precedent here and make things worse for consumers.

  • Erm, WhatsApp would suggest otherwise.

    WhatsApp was the vector for zero click access to a target's phone from Israel's weapons grade hacking Pegasus toolkit. They would send a video call, typically in the middle of the night, and with no input from the used they'd get full access. My personal belief is that they used functionality WhatsApp itself uses to access user data.

    There was also an encrypted phone called ANOM, which had this trick calculator app with a hidden encrypted messager. "Made for criminals, by criminals". Except, when the guy started his business he got investment from the FBI and Australian Federal Police to pay for the servers and some of the phones themselves. Basically every time it sent an encrypted message it sent a separate encrypted message to the ANOM servers. It's entirely possible (perhaps even likely) that WhatsApp would do this also.

    As for Google, they're truly insidious. Lots of banks now require you to connect to Google captcha servers - they don't give you the pictures, it's just the back end, basically the tracking parts. Then there's the controversy about them collecting location data when users have said no. They absolutely do collect data they shouldn't.

  • Ejaculation is supposed to refer to written statements, though. As in, Watson ejaculated over Sherlock Holmes. (He literally did, the word is used all over the books).

  • Sure, but where did they get my phone number from???

    It's like Facebook locking you out of your account and requiring you to present government ID, which they've never seen before and thus cannot use to prove ownership of the account. The request itself is a thinly veiled fish for more valuable information.

  • I dunno, if a car kicks up a rock from the road and smashes a windscreen, that's considered no one's fault. Even though the car in front kicked it up.

    In this case, NASA have assumed that things would burn up in re-entry, based on past experience and modelling. For some reason that didn't happen here. However, that might not be enough to prove liability - if NASA is considered to already make reasonable efforts to prevent this.
