I have eclectic interests
@dismalnow having the code out there that Reddit uses to track accounts doesn’t give me warm fuzzies. I’m not a technical guy but it seems that it would be better if that code had not been hacked and put in the hands of people with malicious intent. I have to defer to others on whether the hack compromises Reddit users’ security.
@Phoeniqz If Reddit is only announcing the hack now then that is very likely going to be a legal problem in a number of US jurisdictions, not to mention EU and others.
@QuietStorm Fishing: it gets you outside, and helps you learn about the natural world as a participant, not just an observer. You don’t need to spend a lot to get started and its often best if you go with a friend. I always practice catch-and-release and the experience is a morning or evening of peace.
@dismalnow Maybe I should try that before I delete my Reddit account…at least the taint part. A parting gift to F u/spez. I think you proved my point. There a lot of people that read the revised terms of use and privacy policy when those came out and have an appreciation of the ramifications, but I suspect that a sizable percentage of Redditors do not. So as we are both no doubt are aware there are data-brokers that will piece together information in what we used to call a “mosaic approach” to create a profile - which is in part the cause for my concern.
