My garbage landlord installed an overengineered gate opening mechanism for the parking lot. The system is made by an Israeli firm and you can only open it by using an app that is a privacy nightmare and asks you a ton of personal information (including full name). If you're dumb enough, there's also a "feature" to enable tracking your GPS position constantly so the gate opens when you're near it. It's absolute garbage and there was a break in this year because any kid could figure out how to open it. I have no words.

Sometimes I have to wonder, what's it going to take to make people leave X? I mean, it was a shithole even before Musk bought it, *4 years ago*, and it's gotten predictably and steadily worse ever since.

They call me John but I go by Chang I guess. The Israeli government is a terrorist state.

No way, an Israeli company founded by Israeli spies is spying on people who speak out against Israeli crimes. shocked-pikachu.webm

Why is it always Israel? You would think that this would be done somewhere in the US or UK, but no.

Wow, that's odd... I never heard about a service that set up alerts for when your own name being googled. Wait, these people are putting their personal name in Google Trends?

These people do know that is X is Elon Musk's personal child porn/shit posting/data scraping website right? Why not pay and give your docs to Encyclopedia Dramatica too?

Hear me out: probably not a great idea to even throw your name into trends

On topic, but a side note…this is how come my trust in privacyguides.com tanked a few weeks ago. They fully support X and actually recommend using it. It’s a bunch of sloppy children running that site.

You can't make this stuff up. A service requiring users to upload verifiable identification info, created and staffed by literal government spooks. And -- what?!? -- they're using said data inappropriately?

Real people are still on X? I thought it was mainly bots and twats now

Thiel himself said 4/6 of the founders were making bombs back in HS.

Yeah, I have an X account from when it was twitter, and wow, Israel needs to eat a few nukes, and become an uninhabitable wasteland where no one will get the idea to settle it ever again.
