From February this year - Apple App store is home to multi-million dollar scams. The method the guy used to find this is so childish it's a wonder how Apple could have missed. Also Apple employs some dark patterns if you wanna report scams.
This isn't true. The phonebook we had had only Name, Phone number and very broad location. Also those days, phone number was just that - a phone number. Nowadays it's a unique identifier for lots and lots of things including government stuff. Some government stuff even uses it for authentication/authorization.
Also I guess user ID means it gives access to their fb profile page I guess? From there one can scrape pics etc (public ones).
Some might laugh this off as 'oh it's just scraping'. But I remember reading some comments in HN that there are apps that can scan faces and pull personal info including where they live, work etc. So each leak uncovers a person little by little.
This vindicates the stance taken by Signal to not even collect metadata.
Edit: I mean surreptitiously scan the face of a stranger you see in public and the app will tell you about them. Don't know names of the apps.
I always want to know what a service like that has found, but I'm also pretty unwilling to upload an image of me to it, given that there's not a lot of public images of me out there that I'm aware of. Then again, maybe if I did check I'd see a bunch of images where I was tagged by other people and that would disabuse me of the notion that images of me online are rare at all...
Hey
I just started using Pinboard last week.
Are the Earlier/Later buttons working for you?
Clicking on Earlier only seems to take me one page back. Successive clicks(of Earlier or Later) return that same page of bookmarks.
Tried on Safari and Chrome.
Thanks
