Wanna have something to chuckle?
I’ve made a specific email for NSFW 18+ internet websites (there’s one with achievements and I wanted to have recommendations) and this email address, being used at every single site I’ve visited more often, never got leaked.
Meanwhile I log in with Google and 4 hours later the nigerian prince asks me why I have changed my email address.
Yup, i have one for adult sites aswell. Never got spam, never got leaked, nothing.
But the one from the free mail provider i used to login into big data websites is full of shit at this point.
Configure an individual Mail address for every site you need one for. You then know who sells or loses your address without telling you.
I do this
Do you have some tidbits to share on who is being naughty? I’m curious.
Sadly no, I haven’t received any spam on my 131 forwarding addresses. I have however, received spam on my new main account after sharing the address with my local hairdresser.
Fucking hair dressers, can’t trust em. That’s why I’m bald
What you need to do is get each individual hair cut by a different hairdresser and then you can see which one is selling your account details or something
But then I would lose my completely plausible excuse for having no hair. I’d have to admit to myself that is my genetics and not by choice haha
I recently started getting spam to my dailymotion account.
Nothing recent, one magazine publisher from back when magazines were paper
Don’t forget mailing list nags that are engineered to pop up right when you are reading the third sentence of the article.
Right after the BS cookie popup.
Or I click a link to story about a cat stuck in a tree and it takes me to small, local newspaper I’ve never heard of called “The Sawfly Gazette - serving South Western Maine since 1975!”, then it immediately tells me I’ve hit my “article limit” and must subscribe for $14.95.
Something something Firefox extension: “I don’t care about cookies”
Ublock origin -> filters -> annoyances
It’s not even casual internet surfing anymore. While looking for a job several months ago, I had to create a new account on every. Single. Fucking. Application.
I have several different Workday accounts because of that.
Literally 43 workday accounts. And it couldn’t reuse the info I put in 42 times before
Agonizing. I’m starting to understand why some people choose to buck the system and live off the land in the wilderness.
I never used Workday - why do you need different accounts? Are there per-account limits you need to bypass? Or do multiple companies use their software and you need a different account for each company?
The latter. Every time I have to job hunt, it’s mentally exhausting from how frustrating it is. I have over 90 logins to various job sites and that isn’t counting the ones using Google login or the ones I just let my browser save and I never copied to my password library.
If I ever have to job hunt again I’m printing out paper resumes and hitting the pavement like it’s 1980 again.
It’s probably due to privacy laws that Workday doesn’t share your information with other clients.
and all of them will resell your data to spammers advertisers and worse
It goes it goes it goes
Which squares contain buseeeeeeeeees!
Every fucking “select the squares” Recaptcha I do I end up failing multiple times. Am I a mf robot or do other people experience this too?

RIP the uneducated masses. It seems easy to us on Lemmy, but for fucks sakes, feel like hardware manufacturers should really step up and stop circle jerking with the likes of Microsoft/Google/Apple etc and ship computers that COME with free open source software as a base. Bit unrelated to the add-on thing, as that is easy as fuck to do and people just don’t know, or they don’t care
They don’t know. For computers it is easy, but for Phones - this is really hard. But be glad that the masses don’t know about it. They actually watch all ads and bring in the money, so us educated can leech with no ads.
There’s a merchant I order products from, and the only way to get shipping tracking info is to install an invasive app that leeches all your Google information.
