• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are scammers getting my email address?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some companies just blatantly sell your data. Others get breached and you are part of the package that gets sold by the hackers.

  The only “way around” is to use unique mail addresses for each signup/company so you can easily lock it and switch to another one when it gets known.

  Just assume, that everything that you type in a form online (or in any other way send to a company/another person digitally), every email you send, everything that gets digitized about you, etc. will be public one day. Either because the other side of the transaction sold it or because they (or you) will be hacked eventually.

  Btw: HaveIBeenPwned does not necessarily contain all breaches. I have several notifications of companies that got breached and leaked my data that are not listed in HIBP…

  Depends, I’m from Europe and there are any sites that allow that. You might need to search for a bit (e.g. not a button but a link in some fine print). But yes, there are many sites that just don’t have a “decline all” button and that ask you to deny every one of their 937.726.193.372.129 partners (most of them double, as you need to deselect the partner and their “legitimate interests” separately…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guess who’s suing the FTC to stop ‘click to cancel’ | Companies fight back to make subscription services easy to cancel⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Somewhat - some site just don’t set a consent cookie if you deny cookies. First, they didn’t set Cookies as you requested - second, they can easily ask again on your next page load!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guess who’s suing the FTC to stop ‘click to cancel’ | Companies fight back to make subscription services easy to cancel⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, it’s at least two clicks - the first in the cookie banner to decline all cookies and tracking (which won’t save that setting and ask again on every page load/click on the page as you might want to be tracked in two minutes) and another one to cancel.

  Is it pronounced Rust-L-S or Rus-T-L-S?

  And if the latter, why not Rusty-L-S?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the PC gaming industry still use such deceptive pricing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nintendo in my experience:

  Physical: Get it right on release day (or in the first week after) in retail for about 40€, otherwise you will have to rely on rare good retail discounts to get it below 55€

  Digital: Don’t you even dare to think about discounts

  Is the traffic encrypted?

  If it is, look at the certificate. Which hostname is it for primarily? Which SAN (Subject Alternative Name - basically a list of all other hostnames the certificate is valid for) are set, if any? Which Certificate Authority issued the certificate or is it self signed?

  Heck, I’ve heard the argument “We’re in retail [or insert other fittig market segments here] and Amazon is a direct competitor. Why the heck should we give them any money or any data*?” several times from several companies.

  (*Where data not necessarily only meant giving them “company data” but e.g. also metadata about usage, etc. which cannot be avoided and which might give Amazon some insights)

  I mean, the question is if it runs doom, not if it’s yielding any playable fps, so… yes! It already runs linux, so were almost there. It’s quite low on ram (but ram wasn’t plenty when doom was released) and only has a serial output. But if you can vet doom to render in ascii art, you’re probably there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"what happened??"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting… I got the retail version back then and it was bundled with Steam and did check your account on every start (or required a steam client running with the title in the library). It even had a warning label on the box stating that it needed a steam account and that the CD key would be linked to your account. But I do not remember it using Securom. Which checks out, as I vaguely remember buying I after Christmas.

  Maybe it got removed later? I can find some discussions in the steam forums arguing about the drm from about 10 years ago, and other more recent discussion where people are wondering why it has no more drm - e.g. this comment describing the same procedure as I did above

  Fun fact: My Steam accounts lists that it was created in July 31st 2004, although Steam was released on September 12th 2004. I guess they just added a random date on old accounts that didn’t have a date registered?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"what happened??"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait… Half Life 2 is the game that forced me to install steam, create an account and wasn’t playable without it is “now” in this list and is DRM free?
