Sites have zero responsibility to monitor for spam. Other sites have no obligation to link to them.

And that is what we are talking about. An obligation to link others

If they promised no logs why did they take the extra steps to log. That's the opposite of a lazy mistake.

I had a friend with a condo in Chicago with a 400-500 dollar a/c bill plus another 200-300 year round bill because the builders hated the earth and universally used halogen bulbs. But on the plus side the heating bill was probably 50 bucks for the year.

Honestly what's wrong with that?

Everyone should click as many ads as possible. Fuck over the datasets. The ads I get are now stupid and hilarious. I broke their algorithms and I cost every crappy advertiser money.

Perhaps that person's content just wasn't very good. Just because it took a lot of work doesn't make it quality worth paying for. The individual failed at creating a travel blog capable of financial support.

"My dog is very cute, so I figured I should capitalize on that." Then the person launches into a rather simplistic rant about how patronage used to work.

"I was a freelance photographer in Chicago" Yep and so is every third person in Chicago.

Why? You don't need to do a ton of constant trades. While my portfolio is fairly small, I make probably half a dozen year and sometimes less or more but in total it averages to 500-1000 percent a year

A good starting point..if wall Street is consistently shitting on a stock, it's probably something to check out and do some research on.

My pixel doesn't have google+ installed. But I can use the play store.

And I am not sure what spyware apps you are referring to.

If it isnt pure Android, and ships with apps you can't uninstall through normal means, it is crapware.

They shouldn't be installed in the first place. And LinkedIn isn't crapware, it's shitware

Always having one unread message and the stupid chat head interface.

Facebook has a ton of dark patterns. There is always one unread message in there shitty messenger client. Except there are zero conversations because I deleted them.

And the messenger app is an incredible piece of junk, whoever did the ux with the chat heads should find a new line of work.

Sorry, I strongly disagree. Random data with a few static arguments is an incredibly great way to test. Adding in some chaos finds bugs. "why did that test fail after 100 times...ohhhh"

I try to only use random data when possible, less and smaller tests to write with a proper setup. End result: more bugs found.

Random data is a great method of testing.

That is why I like using random data generators for tests. You can input some static data and then the rest is random. Every once in a while a bug pops out when you see a test fail that was previously passing.

The US did that in the late 70's or early 80's to the USSR and it resulted in one of the largest non nuclear explosions in history.

I actually have the app installed and it still shows me a notification...I went so far as to delete all conversations and I still get that notification. I've contacted Facebook regarding the issue, they haven't bothered to respond. It's absolutely a dark pattern that makes me use Facebook less.

But it's probably a good thing considering Facebook also apparently shares the content of those conversations

Thanks Facebook, you will tell me the information you have already leaked to anyone that wanted it.

This is reminiscent of the yahoo breach where they said "some" and eventually upgraded the warning to "all of them"

Facebook also gives me a fake notification on messenger every time I use the app or website. Sorry Facebook I don't want to use your incredibly subpar message app.

I am honestly wondering if there is an inside joke for tech companies attempting to make the worst possible messaging app. Facebook messenger is god awful ugly, same with snapchat. Google Hangouts is ok at best (I personally have not used Google's other dozen or so messaging apps they have)
