  • Well after reading this I just went to open the app and it now things none of my tens of thousands of photos are synced to the server, yet the sync icon at the top says there’s nothing to sync. So… not great today lol.

    Overall it’s been a very buggy experience for a long time and evidently that’s not about to change anytime soon.





  • The NYPD beat cops aren’t really trained to look for or discover cyber security threats. Additionally, the secret service agents that discovered these were not from Washington but from the local NYC field office, and it was most likely due to heightened security measures surrounding the UNGA visit specifically.

    They weren’t jammers either, they were just sim farms, commonly used for spam calling and other general mid-level cybercrime like that. Think of them as “A bunch of phones”

    The thing is, the importance of this whole event is just being exaggerated, likely to make the Trump admin look good. Like they said these could “take down NYCs cell infrastructure” but they said they only found 100,000 SIM cards total. If every one of those turned on at the same time and tried to overload local infrastructure, it would result in a 1% increase in cell network utilization inside NYC.



  • Catholicism isn’t like other Christian sects where you can kinda interpret things your own way. The defining characteristic of the Catholic Church is a rigid adherence to established doctrine.

    If there were somebody out there that didn’t hold confession to the standard that I do, they probably wouldn’t bother going to confession. It’s not something you’re forced to do at regular intervals. Either this hypothetical person believes in the sanctity of confession or they don’t. If they do, they aren’t going to go to confession to tell the priest that they aren’t sorry and are ready to offend again. And if they don’t, there’s no reason for them to go in the first place.

    The only possible third option which is extremely unlikely, is somebody who doesn’t believe in the sanctity of confession, going into a confessional just to not confess at all but boast about their crimes and willingness to do it again. But in that case, they aren’t taking the sacrament, so the priest could report them.

    Your middle school level spiel and circular logic are not getting you anywhere here
