Seriously. Didn’t they make billions last year? That number should be much, much higher for Zuck & Co. to actually start giving a fuck.

What, no Microsoft Word?

I’m out of the loop. What did HF do to make you not take them seriously?

Ugh. Then I guess it’s time to reconsider my registrar again.

I’m on PorkBun now, but I’ve used Njalla for a few years and had no issues with them. The reason I switched was simply because I wanted to own the domain, because with Njalla the domain isn’t actually yours, it’s registered to Njalla. Note that this is by design, in the sense that when someone looks up the domain, they won’t get your info, but Njalla’s instead. After a while, I’ve gotten less comfortable with the idea of someone else owning the domain I paid for, so I switched.

Words to live by.

True, his message doesn’t exactly radiate happiness, but I can assure you he felt SO much better after writing this. Tech support also doubles as everyone’s personal therapist, you see.

Andrew is ignorant. He could learn the basics of computer literacy, which would answer all his questions, but I’ll take a shot in the dark and say that Andrew doesn’t want to do that and is perfectly happy being ignorant. And also angry.

Nah, that would just make me a dick.

At one time I did, and to my surprise, my friend did just that! Unlocked their phone and handed it to me without a word. Welp.

I tried arguing against this, but it’s no use. I tried pointing out how something can be branded illegal retroactively, like 20 years down the line, I tried the “give me your credit card info” approach, nothing took. 90% of the time the counter-argument is usually something to the effect of “big companies know everything about me anyway”, which is just guessing on their part.

I’m just going to take care of my own privacy, because I’m clearly in the minority (present company excluded, of course). Almost everyone I know disregards online privacy completely, so I’m done trying to get a dialogue going with these people; it’s every man for himself. The only way online privacy will become a hot topic among laymen is when something nasty happens and at that point, it will have been too late.

Greek Brain Drain incoming.

Ah. I… honestly hadn’t noticed. Apologies, OP. Removing previous comment.
