Safety, Security and Privacy

What kind of Western business is dumb enough to hire North Korean IT employees AND give them access to critical data? If they are not refugees who barely escaped with their lives and have no family left, in North Korea, they have to be considered as agents of the regime. https://thehackernews.com/2024/10/north-korean-it-workers-in-western.html

"The iPhone 16 is now the most dangerous tool of surveillance in the world" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c8UrgGG3NA I can't wait for Elon Musk to FINALLY come out with a decent alternative to the iPhone 😓 Let's be clear: GOOGLE IS NOT ANY BETTER!

There's an obvious DDOS attack ongoing against Twitter/X. Clearly, the cabal do not want people to be able to follow Elon & Trump's conversation.

Get rid of all the annoying tracking information added by YouTube, Facebook, Instagram etc. if you use them at all - the stuff they add after the "?" (question mark) in the URL. Also remove them when you find a link somewhere else and the poster included the tracking info.

It's pretty terrible to imagine that there are people who will click on the link in this kind of email message 🤦‍♂️ You can just hover over the link to see where it points: In this case, it's (with the https prefix, obviously): math.vru.ac.ir dash AMEX dash CLEARLY NOT AMEX! NEVER click on such message links, ever! In this case, they didn't even have my name 🤣

If you still use Adobe (🙄😒), get rid of it NOW! They want to read EVERYTHING you create with their tools! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVAlAPHxkMs I second his advice - get the Affinity products, which is what I've been using since they introduced them!
