12-step programs in shambles




Sorry, pedantry police here. A PWA is just a website which looks and acts like an app when used on a mobile device. You can also add an icon to your launcher/Home Screen to start it, but that’s basically a fancy shortcut.
Nothing wrong with PWAs though! After all, lots of “real” apps are just a wrapper around a website.


Oh I’ve done exactly that. He (security chief) insists it’s required for SOC2 compliance, an assertion I’m leery of.


Browser fingerprinting is surprisingly accurate. Any other you site you visit which uses google analytics (which is like all of them) with the same fingerprint is then linked up, so voila the user is no longer anonymous. The categories that your site may be catering to are therefore added to the profile. Each page request on this site loads the font file again, adding to the perceived time on the site (that is, take last request time - first request time, now you have a pretty good estimate). The point is that while it’s not invasive and exact as running google’s js on your site, it does add to their user profile which Google sells to brokers and all that crap. My point being that they can gather a lot more info than one would think when only Google Fonts is used on a site.


At my job now, we have to change our password so often with such onerous requirements (16 char, alphanumeric, at least one upper case, at least one lower case, at least one symbol, no repeating characters) that I have to store my work password in my personal password manager with much more lax requirements. What the fuck kind of security is that?


When you use Google fonts, they track every request you send them, building profiles on your customers/users and selling that data. They are also able to know your complete visitor stats including location, interests, computer info, time in the site, and damn near anything else.
If you care about that, source your own font from your servers.


That cockroach is trying for some redemption arc now that the winds are shifting. How anybody could trust her I will never understand, but then again people voted in Trump so mental capacity is in short supply.


“Here’s what all those fat cats in Washington don’t want you to know!”
All those dumb fucks still act the same when they’re the fuckfaces running everything. Guess what, asshole: you are the establishment now.


Three more feet and I can fit it in the Mordor!


Part of a sales contract can be a rent-back for a period of time. You sell the house to the buyer, they pay for it, you get the money, and you rent it back from them for a few months or whatever. Everybody wins in this situation.


I actually thought of that meme when I posted this, was wondering if anyone would pull it out :)


Yeah, I hear ya. Any cardio exercise helps with that though. I like to hike on local trails at a brisk pace and I’m in a decent place there (not running any 10Ks though)


Ever seen a runner smiling? Me neither.
That’s on you for expecting their ice cream machine to actually fucking work


Absolute textbook LAMF. Always entertaining to see one in the wild.


Did I not qualify it by saying I could be wrong? What is so confident about that? Jesus Christ, nobody asked you.


I believe what’s in the payload is not the same as what the user chooses to see. That is, it’s sent no matter what but the user can set what’s visible on the lock screen. I could be wrong though.
He’d probably eat it all and then blame it on the Latino neighbors, even with ketchup all over his face.
